Highly Local Marketing with Google AdWords Express!

Google AdWords Express offers highly local marketing for local businesses. Here are some advantages of using AdWords Express as compared to Google AdWords:

If you have a good organic ranking, should you invest in Adwords?

This is one of the questions I am asked by customers "Do I need to do Adwords if I have good organic ranking?" and I want to be upfront and tell you that customers who do SEO with us also do Pay Per Click. To some, this sounds bizarre, and I am going to make an attempt to explain you why so. Here are some considerations for using Google AdWords even if you are on Top 10 on organic listing:

Business survives solely on Google Adwords for their marketing!

Recently, I heard an interesting remark from my customer "We are not doing anything other than Adwords! Last month we got 16 jobs from the Internet!" I was thrilled to hear this from this customer for whom we manage Google Adwords campaign. Also the whole idea that a business could only rely on Google Adwords (and no Yellow pages, newspaper or magazine Ad) for their marketing seemed too good to be true! 

Google retires Position Preference Feature!

Google announced that the position preference bidding option is being retired. As of April 5th, position preference can no longer be enabled for campaigns through AdWords. Campaigns already using position preference will still have it enabled, but if you turn position preference off in one of your campaigns, you won't be able to turn it back on. Starting in early May, Google will begin disabling position preference for any campaigns still using it.

What is the talk abt. Quality Score in Google Adwords? Why should you care?

If you get customers through Google Adwords and haven't yet cared to see what your keyword Quality Score(QS) is or not bothered to remove non-performing keywords with low quality score....think again!! The negligence could be quite $$ intensive!

Just a brief background about how Google computes the Actual Cost per click value of your keywords:

Actual CPC = (Ad Rank of Your competitor/Your Keyword Quality Score) + $0.01

Ad Rank is computed as (Keyword Quality Score) * Max CPC

Negative Keywords can influence your business in positive ways! Another recent experience from our Google Ad campaign

Negative keywords in Google Adwords can influence your campaign in positive ways and tremendously. You might have noted that even after using keywords like "roof cleaning", "roof shampoo" you might not get the level of response from your Google Adwords campaign.

Google Pay Per Click Tips - Our experience with recent client

Just today, I was engaged to get better results on Pay Per Click for a cleaning guy in California and here are some serious problems that I noticed in the campaign:

1) All Keywords were in Broad Match (OMG big waste of money):

Did you know that when you place "roof cleaning" in broad match, someone searching for "buy new roof" or "roof installation" etc. could end up clicking on your Ad. What a waste of money if you never installed roofs!!

So not just choose keywords correctly also select the correct match type (Broad/Broad Match Modifier/Phrase/Exact)

Google Algorithm Changes to Penalize the Bad Guys! Are you affected?

Past week, a sunglasses website made it in the news for using bad customer service towards its advantage by earning a higher Google ranking. Sounds bizarre??  It is. A sunglasses website used negative comments and bad reviews towards its advantage and exploited Google's algorithm towards achieving a high organic ranking.
