Internet Marketing

There are a lot of options to market your business on the Internet.

Paid search results are not included in the main index, but do appear on the page. The results may be above the first "organic" result or over to the right side of the page. There are many different advertising platforms available. If you decide to pay for online advertising, you want to make sure to manage your investment effectively.

Why should you consider Google Ads?

Google Ads can be the most effective marketing tool for many businesses and you would hard pressed to find a better use of your advertising dollars. Even a modest budget can lead to new customers.

Know exactly how many people view your ad.
It is hard to accurately measure your reach with traditional forms of advertising. Advertisers may tell you that a certain number of people may view your print ad. They may say that the nightly news averages so many viewers each day. They may tell you how many phone books are delivered to an area. These estimates may be misleading. With Google Ads you know specifically how many times people see your ad and how often they click on your ad.

Target people already looking for what you are selling.
With traditional forms of advertising, your ad gets displayed to everyone regardless of if the person is actively interested in one of your products or not. With the Google Ads platform you can target people who are looking for specific items or services that you offer. Someone searching for a particular item is already engaged in the process of assessing whether to purchase that item or service. You can specifically advertise to these people who are already looking for what you offer.

Control your budget and evaluate your ROI.
You will know exactly how many people are seeing your ad and exactly how many clicks it receives. You can specify how much you want to spend per campaign per day.
