Search Engine Marketing
What is it?
Search marketing is about being there when the consumer needs you. It’s a strategy used to generate more qualified visitors to your website and drive action. Search Engine Marketing, Search Marketing, SEM, CPC, PPC…it has many names. It means placing your information directly in front of consumers at the exact time they are searching for your products and services. It’s the process of gaining traffic and visibility through paid efforts.
Why do I need it?
When a consumer is looking to contact a business, less and less are they going and looking in the phone book. So, where are they looking? ONLINE. They are going to a search engine, such as Google, and typing in the term/industry/business. When people are looking online, it’s usually a direct response – meaning they are looking to take an action right then, so having your information in front of them is pertinent in gaining business. IF people are not looking to take immediate action – you still are gaining online visibility for their future needs.
