How effective is your paid search campaign?

Paid search advertising is a key component of a solid search engine marketing (SEM) strategy. Paid search, also known as pay-per-click advertising (PPC), has become the dominant form of online advertising because of its effectiveness in driving well-targeted Internet searchers to a company’s website. With an effective and properly executed paid search campaign, a company can proactively generate more qualified visitors to their site and then track their activity on a very detailed level … from which pages they visit, to their form submissions and purchases. This detailed data allows companies to better optimize their paid search campaigns against specific ROI metrics. But, without the experience and expertise of managing advanced paid search, companies can make costly mistakes in their PPC campaigns that can consume tens of thousands of dollars.

Over the past several years, Marketing Performance Group has managed paid search campaigns for our clients, ranging from a few hundred keywords and a $5,000 per month budget to campaigns encompassing tens of thousands of keywords, dozens of search engines and directories and spending of over $100,000 per month.   Our Internet marketing team works closely with each client to understand their business objectives, define the key performance metrics for each paid search campaign and then measure and optimize those campaigns against specific ROI goals and specific campaign objectives.   We provide support, tracking, analysis and recommendations for every step of our clients’ PPC campaigns. The end result is highly successful PPC campaigns and satisfied clients.
