/Thoughts on Search Advertising

Using Google AdWords to run your online advertising campaign appears to be easy enough. Just create your account, set your budget, create your ads, select keywords that match your ads to potential customers – and off you go. The advantages are many, not the least of which are the ability to target your ads to very specific locations and customer interests, the flexibility Google AdWords allows to change, pause or end the campaign, and very little risk – you only pay when someone clicks on your ad and is directed to your business.

However, while the tools are very user friendly, it’s easy to go off track without a good campaign strategy. If this is your first time running an online ad campaign, you may run into several common problems. For example, you may not be targeting your audience effectively, which will result in failure to generate revenue. You may not be targeting a wide enough audience through a limited marketing strategy, thus missing out on important customer segments. You may not be using appropriate metrics to measure success, resulting in suboptimal use of the marketing budget.

Engaging a professional marketing services company, such as Color & Code, will help to avoid these problems and create an effective advertising campaign within a limited timeframe or budget.
