Abstract

A system and method for automatically assigning marketing allocations, including advertisements and coupons, for a business to marketing channels. An investment engine and recommendation engine uses input data to assign marketing allocations to marketing channels. Consumer activity is generated that produces corresponding output data. The investment engine calculates a return-on-investment (ROI) metric, and the recommendation engine generates a report related to the input and output data. The input data, marketing allocations or channels are adjusted to optimize the ROI metric and recommend marketing campaign strategies. The system also automatically determines which keywords the business should assign their marketing allocations to when a consumer utilizes similar keywords on a search engine. Targeted keywords are determined by applying budget weights to keywords related to the business and monitoring output data, such as a click through rate of the marketing allocations. Keywords with higher click through rates receive higher budget weights.
