From Search to Sale: Organic and Pay-Per-Click Search Marketing
Our search engine marketing solutions include both organic search engine optimization and pay-per-click ("PPC" or "Sponsored") search engine marketing.
A business should seriously consider both online marketing strategies since each compliments the other. While 80% of clicks on a search results page originate from an organic listing, conversion rates for pay-per-click ads are slightly higher--meaning visitors that originate from pay-per-click ads are more serious. Further, a well managed pay-for placement campaign can provide valuable, and instantaneous insight into the keyword phrases that are most effective. This information can be used in a search engine optimization campaign to ensure the correct keywords are being targeted. Likewise, search engine optimization efforts could be concentrated on more specific keyword phrases while a pay-for-placement campaign being run simultaneously could concentrate on more general terms. |

| Our organic search marketing program starts with a comprehensive consultation and site review. We work with you to identify the top performing keyword phrases for your industry (keywords that are psychologically, emotionally, and intellectualy aligned with the target search user as well as each stage in the sales cycle), then we get to work optimizing your site for these keywords. Our monthly service ensures that your site won't get left behind when the search engines change their ranking algorithms. |
