At Denver Pro Sites and Marketing, a cornerstone of our business lies with the management of our clients Google Adword campaigns. A properly managed campaign on Google can be a game changer for small businesses; giving you access to new clients and helping you grow.
I have heard over and over from clients that they "don't click those ads at the top of the page" While it is true that more people click the first couple organic listings on a results page, it is not the whole story. A report released in 2008, by a major Adwords campaigner, reported that their company's #1 paid ad on Google got clicked first 8% of the time when someone searched on Google for goods or services they provide. If you also consider the fact that "clicks" on those paid ads increased 18% in the 4th quarter of 2010 and Google made a tidy 2.8 billion during this period selling paid advertising, it's clear that someone is clicking the paid ads, even if you swear it's not you.
If you have a new website and you haven't had sufficient time to optimize your website or if you compete with a lot of similar businesses in your town, Google's Adword program offers you a way to put your business in front of the customers looking for your goods or services. A properly managed pay per click program on Google can provide a lot of businesses a way to open up a brand new stream of customers for their business.
Our focus for our pay per click clients rests squarely on the following four elements:
Proper Campaign Design - Setting the right budget and choosing the right keywords for your campaign is critical to the success of the campaign.
Transparent Campaign Operation - As a pay per click client, you should have all of the information from your provider, including the margins that you are being charged to manage the campaign. Many PPC companies take
huge margins when it comes to management fees. Worse yet, they don't disclose their margins to clients while charging them a 50% markup on the individual keywords. This poses major problems when you are setting budgets on Google, because if up to half of your budget is going right in the pocket of the management company, not towards getting new customers to your business, you have a recipe for very mixed results. At Denver Pro Sites and Marketing, we charge our clients a 30% management fee for PPC. If you're curious about what you're paying your current Adwords company, ask them how many dollars are spent marketing your business on the search engines each month and how much they charge for their services. Ask to see proof. Last year, Google sent out a message to their resellers dealing with this very issue. You can read about it here:
