Potential customers in Contractors are using search, whether you like it or not.  You may have a reputation in the industry, but tens of thousands of peole turn to Pay-Per-Click advertising when searching for people to do business with related to Contractors.

The typical searcher is creating more specific searches and 93% of them only review the search results on page 1.  Just 7% of searchers will look at page 2, and only 1% will get as far as page 3.  Unless you show on the first page, you will miss the mark.  Pay-Per-Click advertising helps you reach your market where they are looking - on page 1.

This raises a critical issue: you must be seen to be found; you must be found to get the clicks; you must get the clicks to secure new business.  Identifying the right keywords and listing them in a managed pay-per-click campaign is essential to driving revenue and achieving a solid ROI.

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%!
