What Is Search Engine
Marketing (SEM)?

Animated

You know the search engine results you see at the top of Google that say “Sponsored”? That’s search engine marketing.

Search engine marketing (SEM) is a form of digital marketing that promotes websites by increasing their visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). This is achieved by paid advertising such as Google Ads, also known as pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, where businesses bid on relevant keywords and phrases their potential customers are searching for.

The primary goal of SEM is to attract more visitors to a website and, ultimately, increase the number of conversions or sales. By targeting specific keywords and demographics, SEM allows businesses to reach their target audience more effectively and efficiently.

Search engine marketing solutions involve a range of techniques, including keyword research, ad copywriting, bid management, and landing page optimisation. By continuously monitoring and optimising campaigns, businesses can improve their return on investment (ROI) and maximise their results from SEM. Overall, SEM is a highly effective way to drive traffic, generate leads, and increase revenue for businesses of all sizes.

Why Your Business Needs Search Engine
Marketing Services

Search engine

Search engine marketing is a critical component of digital marketing that can help businesses increase their online visibility and attract more customers. By using search engine marketing services, you can target potential customers who are actively searching for products or services related to their business.

Search engine marketing solutions include various tactics such as paid search advertising, search engine optimisation (SEO), and social media advertising. Through these tactics, you can improve your search engine rankings, increase website traffic, and generate more leads and conversions.

In today’s digital age, where the majority of consumers conduct research online before making purchasing decisions, having a strong SEM strategy is crucial for the success of any business. Without search engine marketing services, you risk being overshadowed by your competitors and missing out on potential customers.

Benefits of Search Engine Marketing
Services

Fast Visibility

Search engine marketing solutions can provide fast visibility to your business’s website by placing targeted ads on search engine results pages (SERPs). This means that as soon as the ads are launched, they can appear on SERPs and generate clicks to your website. Compared to other forms of marketing, SEM can provide immediate visibility and results.

Improved Traffic

By appearing at the top of search engine results pages, SEM can attract more traffic to a website. The ads are targeted to users actively searching for keywords related to your business, so the traffic generated through SEM is more likely to be relevant and high-quality. This can result in increased engagement with your website, leading to more conversions and sales.

Increased Conversion

SEM can help increase conversion rates by targeting users actively searching for products or services your business offers. This means that the ads are more likely to be seen by users who are already interested in your offerings, resulting in higher click-through rates and more conversions.

Increased Conversion
Spreads Brand Awareness

Spreads Brand Awareness

By placing ads on SERPs, SEM can help to spread brand awareness and increase visibility for your business. Even if users don’t click on the ads, they will still see your business’s name and message, which can help to build brand recognition and trust over time.

Specific Targeting

SEM allows you to target specific demographics, locations, and interests. This means that the ads are more likely to be seen by users interested in your business’s offerings and more likely to convert. By targeting specific audiences, SEM can help you to reach your ideal customers more effectively.

Specific Targeting

Create Geo-Targeted Search Ads

With SEM, you can create geographically targeted ads that only appear in specific regions. This is useful for businesses that have a physical presence in a specific area and want to target users in that region.

Email marketing allows you to test different campaigns to see what works best for your audience. By analysing the results, you can refine your approach and optimise your future campaigns, driving stronger results and higher return on investment (ROI).

Greater Campaign Control

SEM allows you to have greater control over your campaigns by allowing you to set specific budgets, bidding strategies, and ad placements. This means you can optimise your campaigns to achieve the best possible results.

SEM Management Services FAQs

bottom-blob How do you measure the success of SEM?

One of Goodman Lantern’s search engine marketing services is analytics and reporting. We use several metrics to determine the success of an SEM campaign:

  • Click-through rate (CTR): CTR measures the number of clicks your ad receives divided by the number of times it's shown.
  • Conversion rate: Conversion rate measures the number of conversions (such as a sale, form fill-out, or phone call) divided by the number of clicks on your ad.
  • Cost per click (CPC): CPC measures the average amount you pay each time someone clicks on your ad.
  • Return on investment (ROI): ROI measures the amount of revenue generated from your ad campaign compared to the cost of running the campaign.
  • Quality score: Quality score measures the relevance and quality of your ads, keywords, and landing pages. By tracking and analysing these metrics, we can determine the success of the SEM campaign and make adjustments as needed to optimise the results.

bottom-blob How do you approach ad copy and landing page optimisation to ensure maximum click-through rates and conversions?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best approach to ad copy and landing page optimisation will vary depending on the specific product or service being advertised, as well as the target audience and the campaign's goals.

However, what makes us search engine marketing experts is that we always follow best practices when creating ad copy and optimising landing pages, which includes, but is not limited to, the following factors:

  • Our writers will create clear, concise and compelling copy, focusing on the unique selling proposition of your campaign
  • The mailers will be designed to suit the end goal of the campaign including strong CTAs
  • We will continually analyse, test and optimise to get the best results.

bottom-blob Do you only offer a complete package with all the SEM services included? Or can I choose specific SEM services for my business?

As a professional SEM marketing agency, our approach is completely flexible. We will discuss your particular needs and only offer the search engine marketing solutions that will benefit your business's needs and goals.
