Today many people turn to the internet to find services and products in their home town and surrounding area, versus the more traditional method of consulting the Yellow Pages. When they do ARE THEY FINDING YOU?
Anyone searching for a product or service on Google is presented with a variety of results. These include:
1. PAID ADVERTISING (Pay-Per-Click or PPC)
2. FREE/PAID LOCAL LISTINGS (free to all, pay for a higher ranking)
3. ORGANIC SEARCH RESULTS (affected by Search Engine Optimization).
Below is an example of a local search for Heater Repair
You can see that all four sections consume PAGE ONE of Google. Is your business showing up here on page one? If not, IT SHOULD BE!
At Be The Life Change, we can help you decide which of the many search engine placement options are right for your business. We have years of experience in creating and managing Search Engine Advertising Campaigns and Search Engine Optimization techniques.
Let’s explore Google Adwords Advertising (PPC):
Google Adwords Advertising
The traditional method of advertising requires paying large amounts of money to put your ad in front of people who may or may not want your product or service. You are paying for a non targeted audience.
With Pay-Per-Click advertising your ad only shows up to people who are looking for YOU. On top of this you are only charged by the Search Engine provider if your ad is actually viewed or “clicked”. This allows great control over who sees your ads and your monthly advertising budget. This is targeted advertising!
Search engine traffic can be captured by small businesses at a small fraction of the costs required to place traditional advertisements. When the prospect goes to a search engine, such as Google.com, and types in their keyword phrase, they will see your ad appear to the right of or on top of the search results.
You only pay, when the user clicks on the ad to go to or “land” on your web site. Where in the offline world can you display your ad for free, and only pay when you get a direct response from your prospect, to receive more information? Imagine if you only paid for Yellow Pages advertisements, when the user actually dials your business phone number?

Keyword Analysis
Keyword analysis provides the backbone of any PPC campaign creation, or any online marketing efforts for that matter. Without proper identification of performing keywords the results of any online marketing efforts are diminished. Keywords are search terms that people type into search engines when seeking information. They can be a single word or a phrase.
In performing Keyword Analysis, we will research and identify the most profitable keywords for your niche.
Profitable keywords consist of keywords that have enough search volume (search traffic) and that have low competition. Search volume and competition will vary significantly based on your niche/industry. The lower the competition, the less you will pay per click.
These profitable keywords will be broken down into groups and two ads will be written for each group. For example, someone searching for “air conditioner new” will want to see an ad that tells why you have the best prices in town on new equipment but someone searching for “air conditioner repair” will want to know about your low rates and service plans.
PPC Campaign Setup
Once the profitable keywords are identified, we setup your PPC campaigns in your existing Google Adwords, or create one for you.
The campaigns will be structured for optimal performance, and your daily budget can be set to the dollar level you want. All profitable keywords will be included as search terms which trigger your ads.
We will review and make suggestions on your requested advertisements, and will load them into the three campaigns. Clients may wish to vary the advertisements for the various keywords.
At Be The Life Change, we utilize the Insta PPC Builder tool which reduces the campaign setup effort significantly. The Insta PPC Builder allows her to pass those time and cost savings on to you.
PPC Campaign Management
We review and optimize your ads daily for the initial two weeks after initiation. We will then perform an ongoing bi-weekly review and optimization.
These reviews and optimization steps will minimize your cost per click and thus your cost per lead while maximizing your exposure to potential customers.
We will provide monthly reports showing your keyword and ad performance. These monthly reports will give a clear picture of what is working and what is not. We will also suggest keyword and/or ad changes we feel are important.
Every 6 months, we will provide an updated Keyword Analysis report and review it with you. This is important to understand the changes in the Search marketplace for your product or service.
Based on this 6 month Keyword Analysis review, we will update the keywords and ads in your Adwords campaigns to keep you on top.
At Be The Life Change, we utilize the Wordstream PPC Advisor software system which streamlines the PPC Management process making your costs even lower.
