Typical Scenario

Perhaps you’ve launched a new website or been frustrated by a poorly performing old website. You’ve optimised your website for keywords and waited up to 3 months for Google to rank you. Now you face the harsh reality that you need help to market your website to get on the top pages.

Should I try advertising?

In a word Adwords (that’s for Google) or more generally called Pay Per Click (PPC). Perhaps you’ve been enticed by Google £50 voucher, or even a £75 one..
But is it a gamble, that pays off?

We do hear accounts of some businesses going stir crazy with online advertising budgets running way over budget!

Getting started can be a daunting prospect as you navigate your way through the advertising control panel. And there’s always a niggle in the back of you mind that you really could be doing something more productive. Especially as the few minutes stretches to a few hours.

Now you’re ready to go!

Having navigated the unfamiliar world of PPC ads, that’s pay per click, now you are ready to go. Hopefully you can reap the rewards of your hard earned labour. As you hope to sit back and wait for enquiries to roll in.. or is your credit card taking a bashing as your campaign takes on a life of it’s own?

Avoid the pitfalls

Perhaps you’re a business, spent all your marketing budget on pay per click advertising, with no enquiries and now you’re at a crossroads. Hopefully you’re riding high on the crest of the online wave of enquiries. It can be confusing and time consuming, trying to make sense of it all.

‘£5k spend in 1 month with 4 leads’ recalled one electrical business owner.
