Search Engine Marketing (PPC)

Search engine marketing (pay-per-click advertising) is a great way of driving traffic to your web site. Businesses now realise it is a key part of their advertising strategies to attract the right customers. However, without the proper management it can also be time consuming and expensive. Our experienced and qualified team take the guesswork out of the complexity of keywords, audience research, bid management, A-B testing and reporting. This means you can be confident that we're working hard to maximise your advertising budget and deliver qualified leads to your web site.

Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising delivers highly targeted traffic to your website. Search engines only display your ads to people searching for your product or service in the areas you service.

You pay a fee every time someone clicks on your paid search ad and is taken to your website. Bidding for keywords is like an auction. The more you bid (or agree to pay) per click for a specific keyword or keyphrase and the more effective your ad, the higher your advertisement will rank in the paid search results.

Why should I use PPC?

Your ads are only displayed to people searching for keyphrases that match your service or product. For example if I have a Honda spare parts company I might choose my ads to be displayed every time someone searches for 'honda spare parts'.

Pay Per click is now the largest form of online advertising in NZ, accounting for 36% of total. (Interactive Advertising Bureau). If you're not using pay-per-click advertising, your competitors probably are.

What words or phrases should I target for pay per click advertising?

Identifying the keyphrases that best describe your business is one of the most crucial steps of a successful PPC campaign. As part of setting up an account for you, we will research an extensive list of popular phrases that are actually being searched upon. The beauty of PPC is that you get to select what phrases your ads will appear on!

How do you monitor PPC campaign success?

We cannot stress highly enough the importance of monitoring and testing your PPC advertising campaign. Our paid search consultants track the performance of every ad and provide post click analysis to determine that your advertising dollar is producing a Return on Investment (ROI).

It is important that every advertisement has a unique tracking code. This unique tracking code allows us to monitor visitor behaviour from the time they enter your site. Monitoring this behaviour allows us to determine the success or failure of each advertisement and allow us to continually tweak and refine ad copy and keyword selection.

What does it cost?

PPC advertising with both Google and Yahoo! gives you complete control of your maximum bid amounts and monthly/daily budget. With cost per click (CPC) advertising you are only charged when somebody actually clicks on your ad. Typically pricing will vary depending upon the competitive nature of the terms you are bidding on, your website and the industry you are servicing.

Why do I need to outsource my PPC campaign?

Without the appropriate knowledge, you risk overspending your budget very quickly. Poor key phrase selection and poor landing page construction are the two most common reasons that campaigns don't reach their full potential. PPC campaigns are time consuming to manage and setup. You need to have a good understanding of the Google and Yahoo advertising platforms and have the analytical skills to take in the data.
