Pitfalls that a PPC Agency can Help You Avoid

Some people think that internet marketing is as simple as creating a good-looking website and reaching out to the world via messages and ads. Little do they know, carrying out such “simple” tasks can leave businesses prone to common marketing mistakes—especially when PPC (pay-per-click) adverts are involved. Such errors can be avoided with the help of a reliable PPC agency. A common  PPC marketing errors  involves redirecting users who clicked on the adverts to the website’s homepage rather than a specific page. It’s simply a matter of convenience: internet users hate it when an advert sends them to the homepage because they then have to navigate through the entire website to get to where they want to go. Sending them to the website’s contact page is arguably even worse because it sends a somewhat condescending impression to internet users by supposedly “encouraging” them to sign up for newsletters before they can proceed. Still another frequent mistake website owners commit

Getting on the Business Map with Google Places

Google’s function as a search engine has distinguished it as one of the most powerful marketing tools businesses can ever utilize.

Businesses based in a given area, in particular, will want to appear in local searches that start with “stores near me.” Thanks to Google’s new Google Places function, local searches for neighbouring businesses are far more convenient than ever before. Anybody who logs on to Places will be treated to a map-like display that reveals nearby businesses as well as other useful information like contact details, website addresses, and even customer reviews. This extremely convenient feature helps consumers find the right stores, or discover retailers that have been hiding right under their noses. It goes without saying that businesses without a presence in Google Places place themselves at a disadvantage against competitors
