Search Engine Optimization

Build it and they will come.

Well, not exactly.

Just because you have a website doesn’t mean your website will automatically attract visitors who are interested in what your business offers. Your site will probably have a lot of competition for the same target audience.

Local Results

Recent studies show that 97% of consumers search for local businesses online & 50% of all local searches occur within online directories & apps. Search engines like Google, Yahoo! & Bing rely on the accuracy and consistency of the business listings within online directories and social media outlets to confirm the reputation and legitimacy of your company. Missing, inconsistent or incomplete local business listings can have a serious negative effect on your ability to connect with your target consumer. Accurate and complete business listings improve your overall online visibility by giving customers & prospects the information they need to contact you wherever they are searching and by increasing the relevancy of your website to search engines, therefore increasing the likelihood that you will rank well in searches for your product or service.

Search Engine Marketing

Search Engine Marketing (also called “Pay Per Click” or “PPC”) is a widely-used form of Internet advertising that allows you to drive highly-targeted traffic to your website. PPC ads are displayed at the top or down the right hand sides of the results pages on common search engines such as Google, Yahoo! & Bing. This is a very popular form of Internet marketing because of the ability to target users based on their specific interests and intent & for the fact that results can be seen almost immediately. Another reason why many businesses choose this route to market themselves online is because you are technically only required to pay when a user actually clicks on your ad. This means your budget is only spent on reaching individuals that are specifically looking for what you offer.

While it is possible to sign up for and run a PPC campaign on your own, understanding the proper methodology used to run a successful PPC campaign (such as proper keyword research & selection, writing effective ad copy, establishing ad groups, determining bid amounts, etc.) requires advanced knowledge & training to master. In addition, setting up, managing & optimizing a successful PPC campaign takes an enormous time investment that most business owners typically do not possess. With our years of experience, specialized training & formal certifications from the search engines, we are able to maximize the benefit of any PPC campaign and ensure you are delivering the right message to the right audience at the right time & on the right device, all while maximizing your return on investment. Working with us to implement a PPC campaign will save you time & money and ensure you achieve the best possible results.
