Bidding system:
Google tells you what is the average CPC
You set your bid: the higher your bid, the further up your Ad will appear
The more budget you have, the more your ad will be shown
You only pay when someone clicks
END WITH:
Marketing is not hard
The key is to do marketing that people WANT, that will appreciate, not marketing that people simply tolerate
Smart marketing is NOT about generating HYPE, is about listening and providing help
Ultimately, it’s about BEING Useful
Being USEFUL is especially important given how we now have constant access to information. All the answers are in our pocket.
The zero moment of truth (ZMOT) refers to the point in the buying cycle when the consumer researches a product
The number of consumers researching a product online prior to purchase has been on the rise in recent years as the internet and mobile continue to advance
The shopper’s journey looks less like a funnel and more like a flight map
They switch devices to suit their needs at any given moment. They search, go off to look at reviews, ratings, styles and prices; and then search again
Mention Bloggers and Review sites
Huge importance of Content for SEO
Demonstrate you’re useful and customers will hold you close
Google has changed the shopping experience: the funnel now begins on Page 1 of the search results
For some of our clients, we’re seeing up to 25% of total online revenue generated through Google Shopping
60% of Online Traffic Now Comes From Mobile (comScore report, June 2014)
Google Business Listing is fundamental if you want to be found by those searching NEARBY
Organic takes time, but start focusing on On-Site, Content and Off-site SEO and you will get there!
PPC can be a great way to drive real time business, select your keywords well (not too broad), and your Ads will only appear to those ready to consider and make a buying decision
Headline & Copy
Secondary headline, clear and concise
Impeccable grammar
TRUST indicator!
Clear/Strong CTA
Make your buttons stand out
Go easy on the links
Use images/videos that relate to the copy
Keep it above the fold
Acquisition
Where are your customers coming from?
Behaviour
How do they interact with the site
Conversions
Outcome of Interaction \ ROI on Campaigns \ ROAS
