Why should I care about
search engine marketing?
When your customers search for your business, your products or services, or any other relevant search terms, you obviously want to make sure you’re one of the results. Search Engine Marketing (SEM) makes sure your business is on search engine result pages where you want to be found.
Through paid search ads, we target specific, relevant keywords/search queries in your business’s ideal targeted location. So, say you’re a coffee shop in Downtown Pittsburgh. When a customer searches something along the lines of “coffee shop near me” within your targeted location, paid ads will bid for the highest ranking spot so that your coffee shop shows up first. Paid search campaigns can compliment your organic listing. When your business pops up multiple times on a result page, there are more chances for the customer to click on your webpage.
