While our prospects use search every day, what steps are you taking to compete?  Search Marketing for Call Centers.  Promoting yourself online.  The concepts are the same: position yourself where your prospects are searching.

Studies have shown that 93% of people do not look past the first page of search results when they search on Google, Yahoo and MSN.  If they do not find what they want, they simply do another search or give up completely.  The engines allow advertisers to bid on Pay-Per-Click listings that feature them at the top of the listings.  Being found on the second page will only get you 7% of searchers; page three sees only 1%.

When they search, they are searching with something specific in mind.  If they do not see those results, they will either conduct another search or will stop searching altogether.  The listings that do appear on the first page will receive 93% of the clicks from the searchers.

Pay Per Click lets you jump ahead of millions of competing listings quickly.  The search engines all use Pay-Per-Click as their primary advertising model.  With Pay-Per-Click (PPC) you advertise with the search engines.  You select the keywords you want to be found for and Google and Yahoo will feature you above millions.

With PPC advertising, pay-per-click lets you decide which keywords to be found for and what message should be shown in the search engine.  You only pay for the clicks and not for the impressions (the mere display of the listing). 

Comparing PPC clicks to a prequalification step, it quickly becomes apparent that these prequalified clicks are more valuable and can be extremely cost efficient.  Remember - people who search and click are your best prospects - they are searching for what you offer.

With more than 700,000 companies competing in pay-per-click adveritising how can you compete effectively?  Most companies simply try it and test, often spending $5,000 to $500,000, managed by one person in their office who lacks the toolsets, knowledge and automation to truly maximize your advertising dollars.

Suppose we evaluated your campaign and found 40% waste (which is typical).  On a $20,000 per month campaign, that's $96,000 wasted annually.  That could be money in your pocket, or, if channeled back into search, could increase your revenue from good keywords by 66%!
