Online Marketing Brisbane
Search Engine Marketing (or SEM) refers to paid advertising on Search Engines such as Google.
The key reasons to engage in Search Engine Marketing include:
- It is very, very targeted. Only people who are searching for your product will see your ad. Try doing that with a newspaper ad!
- It can be controlled. You can turn it off and on and set a daily budget.
- It is highly measurable. You can measure how many times you ad is shown, how often it is clicked on and when someone does the desired action (eg. fills in a contact us form)
- It is easily refined. You can test variables to see which works best.
- It is relatively inexpensive. You only pay when someone clicks on your ad.
- It is for businesses with big or small budgets. You decide how much you want to spend per day, and it stops there.
There is a bit of science behind running Google Adwords (Pay per click) campaigns. It is quite easy to setup yourself but without proper guidance you could be paying too much per click.
Best practice for 'pay per click' campaigns is that you should never link your ad to your website. Instead you need to link to a specially built landing page which guides the visitor to do precisely want you want them to do and doesn't clutter the message with other 'noise'. The content on the landing page needs to be designed to closely match your chosen 'keywords' to ensure you maximise success (and reduce your costs).
