Google Adwords

How to get the most out of ad budget?

With Google Adwords™, you will be able to reach your customers at the precise moment they are looking for your products or services. When users search on Google, they are demonstrating which products or services they are interested in. With Adwords ads, they will see your ad next to relevant search results. In addition to that, your ads could also appear on relevant search results and content sites within the Google Network. With Google's Precise targeting and your ability to control how much you are willing to pay per click, the end result is a higher return on investment (ROI) for your advertising budget.

Create the Ad

It all starts with your ad. Tell the audience what you have. Highlight the benefits of getting it and getting it from you. Adwords text ads can be live on Google and Google Network in minutes.

Show it to people who want what you have.

With Google Adwords, you only reach people interested in your products and services. That’s because your ad only gets displayed to people seeking information related to the keywords chosen. So instead of looking for an audience, you’ve got an audience that’s looking for you.

Show it to a lot of those people.

Your ads can appear on Google.com search results as well as the Google Network of search and content sites, which includes AOL, Amazon and The New York Times. The Google Network reaches more than 80% of Internet users* worldwide. Whether you need to make contact with countless thousands or a select few, Google AdWords can reach them on a neighborhood, city, state, national or global level. AdWords even allows you to create your own customized target area by designating a geographic radius or boundary. And, should you need to advertise internationally, AdWords lets you target your ads in about 40 different languages, throughout more than 190 countries.

Only pay Google when people click through to your site.

One reason AdWords ads have such incredible ROI (return on investment) is that your “I” is so little. You decide what you’re willing to pay for each click on your ad, and you place a limit on what you’d like to spend each day (there’s no minimum spending requirement). Your cost-per-click could be as low as 5¢. Here’s the best part – you only pay Google when people click on your ad. That means you’re investing in de? nite leads, not hit-or-miss ads.

See what’s working. Then do it again.

Unlike other advertising, you can do more than just put your AdWords ads out there, cross your fingers, and hold your breath. Instead, with online tracking tools, you can keep a close watch on their effectiveness to determine which of your ads are generating the most clicks and which are converting to sales, leads, sign-ups, downloads or page views. And, your AdWords ads can be continually altered and refined to drive even better results.

A recent Piper Jaffray study** found that search advertising is still the most cost-effective method of advertising (and it is a fraction of the cost of direct mail, email, online banners or yellow pages). Get Google AdWords and start gaining customers immediately.
