Search engine marketing provides a great ROI for marketing investments. The improvement and the results of advertising are easy to measure and verify, and in the right hands search engine marketing yields superior results.
Today search engine marketing is much more than just text ads comprised of a couple of titles and a description text. New features are constantly introduced to the ads, ad extensions and targeting options, which enables us to reach only the most important target audiences.
We’ve built the successful results in search engine marketing for a few basic principles.
Great strategy enables great results. This is true when we are discussing the objectives of your business or planning the most effective campaign-hierarchy for search engine marketing.
Our history with eCommerce and digital commerce has taught us that if you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. Therefore, we make sure that we measure the right things and make conclusions based on right metrics.
Google introduces new features to marketing platforms almost on a weekly basis. We investigate new opportunities and test them out, so you get the best return for your investment.
Our Google Premier Partner badge is an indication of the quality and successfulness of our search engine marketing. On top of that, it enables us to improve our customers’ marketing in collaboration with Google.
Google Shopping introduces a completely new tactic for eCommerce businesses. Google Shopping ads enable users to explore the products straight from the search results page.
Google Shopping ads stand out notably from the traditional text ads and drive a lot of users who are at purchasing stages of the buying journey to your eCommerce site.
Up-to-date product information and distinguishing product images are in crucial role when competing from the top ad placements.
At best search engine marketing is a dynamic combination of science and art. In addition to Google Premier Partnership, we are also a Google Marketing Platform certified company. Google Marketing Platform combines Google’s advanced services of programmatic advertising and search engine marketing, which enables us to perform even more efficient advertising in search engines.
With Google Marketing Platform we’re able to create more precise target audiences, utilize more intensive automation and track the impact of advertising to final conversions.
Although search engine marketing is in many cases considered as a synonym for Google Ads, Bing ads might also work as a high-performing channel.
Bing ads may be utilized for example in product launches where we want to ensure the highest possible reach in the target audience.
Search engine marketing yields the best results, when it is connected to business objectives. Usually the objectives for search engine marketing are related to conversions and sales, but due to its versatility, the objective can be also related to target audience reach and brand communication.
We always analyze the performance of search engine marketing through most important metrics. We’ve built our reporting solution into Solteq Data Studio. The data from advertising is reported in real time, which allows you to have a transparent view of the actions and results of search engine marketing.
Both Google and Bing are priced as PPC – pay per click – this means that you only pay when the user clicks on the ad to proceed to your company’s website.
Many factors affect the prices such as the selected keywords, total search engine competition in the industry, ad relevancy and the click-through rate of ads. This means that it is hard to determine the exact search engine marketing price in advance. But it is always possible to set the maximum daily amount you are willing to pay.
Generally, due to higher competition Google marketing is usually more expensive than Bing marketing.
Search engine marketing is started by building a strategy. Is the main objective to increase sales or improve brand awareness?
The first steps consist of executing a keyword research, constructing a campaign structure and building the reporting. We focus on the foundation, so we can focus on the improvement in the future.
Advertising needs to be improved continuously in order to gain the best results. With effective optimization, regular ad account improvement and continuous A/B-testing we improve the results of search engine marketing.
