Managing My Local Pay Per Click

By: Kirt Christensen

A great number of searches on Google are local. For a small price, compared to other media, you can get traffic and customers by using local ppc advertising for your business. It costs less than mailings and fliers; is more trackable than billboards and will at times contact more people than an ad in the Yellow Pages.



The Kelsey group says that as many as sixty percent of internet searches are local. There are estimates that say it is as much as seventy-five percent. If the number was only twenty percent, that would still represent a whole lot of searches. There are millions of searches daily.



Whatever the number is, local search is undoubtedly the most untapped opportunity in PPC management.



Are you selling weight management programs, audio downloads, flat screen TV, or home loans nationally on Google? It is possible to do but it will be an uphill fight all the way so be prepared.



However if you happen to be accounting firm, electrician, handyman, or foot doctor, the battle is easily won. The competitors in your market most likely have no idea what they are doing.



Consulting in this area is a great idea. You can put together campaigns for businesses around you. The need is under filled. Consider this:



Most businesses in your area of the city shell out as much as $1,000 per month simply on Yellow Pages ads. The money is being spent.



Yellow Pages sales persons help make people more aware of the online opportunities when they sell Internet Yellow Page listings. But that is Google or Yahoo ads.



Google and their ilk are so occupied with handling extant possibilities that the actuality of reps selling ppc on the streets is a distant prospect. (Though there are hints of a venture with Yellow Pages.)



If you are dealing with a category where mail-order in not possible and the items must be gotten locally, then the clicks are cheap. Check this out. If you search for 'brake shop' in Chicago only 6 ads will come up, and one is for E-bay. Do I hear a bid for nickel clicks?



Local advertisers who are "knowing" about internet marketing are not thick on the ground. That is not likely to be changing soon. The difference between online commerce, and retail sales, is a great gulf. You have hear "In the land of the blind, the man with one eye gets to be king", that surely applies here.



If you can accept the fact that many keywords will only produce a few local clicks a month, the return on investment (ROI) on what you do get is extraordinary.
