Your prospects are using Google and Yahoo to find companies to work with.  The Pay Per Click listings identify sponsors who offer the products and services they seek.  So what should you do?  Online Marketing for Retail Banking.

Marketing has changed radically over the last five years.  Unlike other forms of advertising, Pay Per Click Advertising allows interested prospects find youwhen they decide they need you.

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.

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.

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%!
