PPC management, paid search, pay per click, sponsored listings–whatever you call it, you need to be doing it!
Paid search marketing is one of the fastest growing and most cost-effective forms of advertising. In fact, according to the annual SEMPO State of Search report, the industry grew 8.15% in 2009, and is expected to grow by another 14% in 2010.
Why is it so popular? It’s all in the numbers. Pay per click (PPC) management lets you reach customers that are actively searching for your products/services and provides quantified results in real time. It’s a different type of marketing—rather than pushing advertisements on consumers by interrupting their TV viewing or magazine reading, PPC is a form of “pull” marketing. Customers actually pull your ads based on their search query. They were actively looking for your product or service, not leisurely flipping channels or pages. Therefore, the likelihood of these searchers clicking on your ad and becoming paid customers is much greater.
Plus, it’s extremely affordable. Paid search is based on a cost per click basis—you don’t pay when users see your ads (called an impression), just when they click on them. The engines provide basic information about the performance of your ads (e.g., number of impressions, click and conversions, cost per click amount and conversion rate). And we use Media Agent, propriety tracking and reporting technology that allows us to dive deeper into data and optimize the performance of paid search campaigns. Like we said, it’s all about the numbers, and we’re not embarrassed to admit that we really geek out on numbers.
