Advertising with Google
Google delivers adverts to people at the top of search engine results. These adverts look very similar to normal search engine listings but the difference is the advertiser pays each time somebody clicks on the advert. This is called Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising.
How Adwords works
- People search on Google for your keywords
- If your keywords match their search then your advert appears above the normal organic search engine listings
- If someone clicks on your advert they will go through to your website (landing page).
Benefits of Google Adwords
- Speed: You can get to the top of search engine results for your chosen keywords immediately
- Cost Effective: Costs are controllable via a daily budget
- Measurement: Clear visibility on what you are spending and what your return is on your spend
- Targeted: The audience is extremely relevant as you have targeted their keywords
- Remarketing: Someone who clicks on your advert can be retargeted if they don’t convert into a lead
