As you KNOW Consumer behavior has changed. Today shoppers are spending over 11 hours doing research on over 24 sources…As a result shoppers the research is influencing the shopper 97% of time towards making their purchase decision ONLINE and verifying their decision in the showroom and that is why the # of dealers visited are down to only 1.4…..In 2007 it was 4.5.
This is one of the searches we performed for a “Used Chevy Tahoe LTZ…” You can see the paid searches are either missing Model and Trim, some Make Model and Trim, the last one even just says used cars for sale….every one of these has a relevancy issue.
As I mentioned, we built a relevancy engine, so we match the searchers request 100% of the time with a highly relevant Ad, since we have more data.
<Next Slide>….
This is an example of what a PureCars Ad would look like… 15 Used Chevy Tahoe LTZs, some with……. Etc.
Even site extensions are dynamic to the searchers request. Through our partnership at Google, we have access to beta features that even those with Google Adwords APIs don’t have access to. Look at what the site extensions were on the the Ad I just showed….. <CLICK BACKWARDS>
Now, our Site Extensions…. (Tahoe Lease Special, 9 Tahoes with Navigations,…….) Our site extensions are changing in real time, based on each consumer search! IT’S HUGE!
The relevancy of your site links also factors into your ad rank, and our technology allows us to never have to guess at what the right message is.
T: Does that make sense?
Now, Here’s a search for a “Used BMW X5 with Third Row”….Sure it’s long-tail, but if you had an X5 w/ 3rd Row, you’d want it to be ranked.
We couldn’t find one paid ad showing options!... I could’ve typed in a Silverado or Tahoe with Nav or 4 wheel drive, anything like that. There are no paid ads. Highlighting options.
Our Ad would read….”Used BMW X5 with Third Row…4 to choose from, starting at $23994”….and this is just one of many ad variations to choose from…
T:…..And We didn’t stop with inventory…

Once display advertising is added to the marketing mix, likelihood to purchase increase by 4% and unaided brand recall increases by 6%. When shoppers learn about your brand through multiple media outlets they are more likely to remember your brand name and ultimately buy from you. This also exemplifies why we can not measure search ad performance against display ad performance separately, but rather we need to evaluate how display ads strengthen your search ads.
Let’s take search for example – paid search and organic search are connected, we’ve found that paid search covers many more keywords that organic search. Paid search provides much greater coverage than organic search. Specifically, when advertisers turn off paid search campaigns they lose 88% of their search traffic to their site. This means that organic clicks will capture a small portion of new traffic but by enlarge the traffic is lost to the advertise.
Additionally, 16% more likely to purchase and 6% more likely to remember the brand name. This can be attributed to the fact that shoppers have greater confidence in advertisers as they appear multiple times within a search results page.
Not only does this hold true for paid search.
Use an example keyword search visual related to the general display being served through simplify. Use snippet if next to get clear placement on reputable web site
