While our prospects use search every day, what steps are you taking to compete?  Online Marketing for Check Processing.  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%.

Your potential customers are overwhelmed with information and are busier than ever.  They do not have time to dig deep through search results in the engines.  They've learned how to use search and how to review pay-per-click ads more efficiently,  Information seekers often look at natural listings, while buyers tend towards the Pay-Per-Click listings.

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.

These listings receive approximately 40% of all clicks; when looking at clicks that lead to a transaction (a purchase or lead) that number climbs significantly.  More importantly, the people searching and clicking are your best prospects - they are proactively 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.

Did you know most campaigns contain at least 40% waste?  A campaign with a budget of $20,000 can be throwing away $8,000 every month - $96,000 every year - on keywords that do not drive sales or leads.  The problem is either you do not have enough keywords and are missing those that drive inexpensive conversions, you have too many keywords and do not know which are wasteful, or have a reasonable number of keywords but are unable to track and optimize the spend.

Suppose we identified and cut that $8,000 in waste.  That's $96,000 to the bottom line.

But what if we put that $8,000 back into the campaign and spent it on the right keywords.  You could increase your sales by 66% for the same monthly spend!
