You may have noticed two different types of search results online: results on the left and results on the right (View the image to the lower left for an example). The results on the left hand side of a traditional search engine results page (SERP) are considered organic/natural listings. To get to the top of search results for these organic listings, you will need to Get Optimized through Basic or Deep SEO. Moving up the ranks of natural search may take some time, you will find that some firms (like Get Searchable) quote a minimum of 4-6 weeks, while others quote as much as 6 months before your natural search rankings improve with SEO. For those who want immediate visibility with complete control over the text, conversions, and end goal of your search listing, a Pay Per Click or PPC campaign is right for you!

Google, Yahoo!, and MSN are the 3 major PPC providers online. Through a Google Adwords Campaign, Yahoo! Search Marketing, or Microsoft AdCenter, we will create and manage your own PPC ad campaign. Pay Per Click advertising campaigns work in the exact way their name implies: You pay only when someone clicks on your ad and goes directly to your website. How much you pay is determined by an ongoing bid war. Businesses bid online for the same keywords and your ranking on search is determined by your maximum bid per click in combination with a variation of other factors. Let's take a business card printer for example. The business card printer wants to be found online anytime someone searches: "Cheap business cards" on Google. At the same time, their competition also wants to be found for the same search. Both companies open a Google Adwords account and bid on the aforementioned keyword phrase. When someone enters that phrase (or a version of the phrase) into the Google search box, both businesses appear on page one in the Sponsored Links column. It doesn't cost the business a single penny to appear on page one, it will only cost them the amount that they bid IF someone clicks on their ad and goes to their website.
This answer to this is: You may not. At Get Searchable, we're happy to walk you through starting your own PPC campaign and empowering you with the knowledge necessary to manage this campaign as well. Others, may not have the time to spend managing a campaign of this magnitude, which is where Get Searchable comes in. A successful PPC campaign requires keyword research, 20-50 keywords to scrutinize and manage, constant monitoring of bids, local targeting, time targeting, proper ad text, landing page analysis, and more. Google uses a precise algorithm to determine where your PPC campaign ranks on Page 1 of search. Are you number 1 or number 10? Unfortunately, being number one does not come as easily as paying the most per keyword. In fact, Google's algorithm makes it such that your competitor could be paying less than you, but still ranking higher than you. Google does this to ensure that your company is creating relevant, honest, and worthy ads. At Get Searchable, our search marketing experts have years of experience learning this algorithm and creating successful ad campaigns to maximize your visibility, minimize your ad spend, and exceed target return on investment (ROI).
