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

Recent studies have shown that most searchers are now looking at just the first page of search results on Google and Yahoo.  Pay-Per-Click advertising allows you to feature your company on that first page with the keywords you want.  Fewer than 7% are looking at page two and beyond.  They have less time to spend on search, and do not have the patience to dig through search results.  Using PPC advertising to get your message in front of them is the key..

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.

Many keywords now return 10,000,000 "relevant" pages - or more.  With most searchers looking at just the first page of results, you need to be found on top.  Pay-Per-Click advertising puts you at the top of the engines.

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.
