If you have a basic understanding of Pay-Per-Click Search Engine
Marketing and are trying to determine which firm is right for
you, or you want to take your PPC campaign to the next level....
then you will appreciate that simply depositing a visitor to
your web site's home page is a great first step, but only
scratches the surface in terms of what is possible, especially
if your product or service requires building a relationship with
your prospect.
So if search engine marketing is something you think you
would like to try and you are willing to commit to a minimum
level of spending, a simple Google search will produce several
firms that will be glad to come up with lots of keywords for you
that are guaranteed to bring more visitors to your web site.
However, if you are not careful, they will have little regard
for what kind of traffic they produce and very few ideas about
what you should do with the traffic once it is deposited on your
site. That’s because they are motivated by the number of
keywords they come up with or the amount you spend on click
charges, and not about what you want, which are
qualified sales leads that generate new business.
Here is another important point that you should consider. If
you sell a product that could be considered an "impulse buy" or
a "one-step sales process", then simply sending visitors to your
site may work for you. However, if you feel you need to develop
a relationship with a prospect over time, you will want to have
a process that establishes your credibility, builds trust and
gives you an opportunity to stay in touch with that prospect as
their needs change and their buying cycles revolve.
That is why I have a different approach. I combine the
benefits of a well managed Pay-Per-Click campaign with a
results-oriented consulting model that looks at marketing as a
process that needs to be optimized to achieve a result. And that
result is not simply to see how many keywords I can come up
with. The result I strive for is generating qualified sales
leads, integrating these leads into a sales process and using
collateral you probably already have to maintain an on-going
relationship so that when your prospect is ready to make a
purchase, you are foremost in their mind.
When it comes to optimizing the selling process, PPC offers
some unique tools that can significantly reduce the optimizing
cycle time. For a more detailed explanation, please visit the
