Oakdale PPC Advertising for Business

If your business has used Google to market your Oakdale business, you've seen ad spots Google displays on the top and bottom of each search page. While SEO or search engine optimization impacts positioning in the "free" portion of the results page, the focus with pay-per-click is on the keyword ads. These ads use method known as pay per click advertising, or PPC for short. Pay Per Click is also called SEM or Search Engine Marketing. These paid ads promote businesses from Oakdale and across the country, to promote their products or services.

In a nutshell, the search engines show your ad on the page, and you pay "per click" when prospects click on keyword ad. If they see your ad and do not click, you pay nothing.

PPC advertising can be an extremely effective form of advertising - but only if you run a tightly optimized campaign that focuses on achieving measurable results at an acceptable cost.

You need a PPC expert to manage your campaign and budget with surgical precision. Strategy, optimization and execution. This is how Oakdale businesses can succeed online.

How Does Pay Per Click Advertising Work for Businesses?

With pay per click ads, you are paying to advertise on the major search engines. You select strong keywords and you pay when prospects click on your ads.

You can pay from cents to dollars (even hundreds of dollars on the most competitive words). Your ads are shown for free - you only pay for prospects who click.

Our task is to select the right keywords that are relevant and attract real customers. We then optimize the campaign DAILY to make the campaign profitable.

We even design ad copy (the text of the ads) to prevent those less interested from clicking on your ads, leaving that click (and your ad budget) for more interested customers!

PPC Attracts Hand Raisers In Oakdale Who Want Your products or services

Getting a flood of traffic while blowing through a large budget is easy. Getting profitable prospects - with a high return on investment (ROI) - that is the real challenge.

Done right, pay per click advertising In Oakdale can generate tremendous results, with leads and sales to grow your business.

Why? Prospects searching are "hand raisers" - they have a need and are looking for a solution, right now. They are your perfect prospect.

Done wrong, PPC is a money pit, with thousands of dollars wasted on clicks from people who never intended to buy from you anyway.

Bad targeting, misplaced keywords, weak pages on your website and overpriced clicks can quickly turn your Oakdale PPC campaign into a nightmare.

Why is Adwords So Effective for Businesses?

Google (and the other search engines) is the best way to capture the interest of prospects who are already searching for what you offer.

PPC puts you on the page, in front of prospects, with the opportunity to bring them to your website.

Approximately 30% of prospects who do searches click on one or more pay per click ads on the page. In general, your ad will receive clicks from 3-15% of searchers. The rest look at other ads and the "natural search engine results" (promoted via SEO / Search Engine Optimization). With the services of our SEO ad agency, we can advise you on these options as well.

While these percentages may sound low, keep in mind - you only pay for what you get. If 100 people do a search on your keywords and see your ads on Google, and 7 people click on your ad, you only pay for the 7 people. You pay nothing for the 93 people who saw your business ad without clicking (hint: free advertising!)
