Potential customers in Car-Rental 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 Car-Rental.

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.

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.

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!
