Why is Search Engine Marketing Important?
Search engine marketing (SEM) essentially acts as a filter for the wealth of information available on the internet. With this filter, it allows your target audience to quickly locate your brand and increase your brand’s awareness, without the need to wade through numerous irrelevant web pages.
Moreover, it helps to generate qualified traffic to your website. The higher your brand ranks in search engines, the more likely your target audience will visit your website and prefer your offerings. With paid ads, it offers better Click-Through-Rate (CTR) and higher conversions than more passive forms of marketing. This is due to the fact that Paid-Per-Click (PPC) is more easily customized, it allows you to target specific keywords intended for your target audience.
Brand Awareness
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) not only helps to generate qualified traffic to your website but also expose your brand name in various segments such as ad’s headline, description, display URL, etc. All these help to increase your brand awareness especially when they often appear on the top of search engine results pages. As your product or service ranks higher in search engines, this would allow your target audience to visit your website and may even recommend your offerings to people around them. Overtime, this SEM would be a trusted advisor or provider for your business to increase brand awareness.
Quick & Easy Implementation
These advertisements are relatively easy to implement and manage. Google ads allow you to set up a schedule for each of your respective campaigns and you are given a choice to start or stop your ads at whatever time you want. While it may take some time to see the full impact of your campaign, it is rather flexible and configurable to set up its budget as well as the performance measures. Change can be done on an ad-hoc basis to tailor to your website content or behaviour of target audience. This would help to optimise your business’s ads and increase more traffic to your company in a short period of time.
Right Audience at the Right Time
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is often used as a short-term strategy to reach specific audiences based on their search intentions. This brings fast visibility to your product or service as your ads appear only to your target audience who search using keywords closely related to your product or service. Compared to SEO, paid search ads bring quick results as they allow your business to target your audience instantly. This is especially so when the right keywords are chosen for which your ads will trigger and appear. By doing so, you are getting your ads to appear in front of your highly engaged target audience – all for a low cost and without having to impose on them.
Measurable Performance
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) gives businesses the opportunity to test their ads and allow for precise success tracking. SEM allows businesses to gather results from various campaigns to undertake in-depth campaign analysis to optimise your brand’s keyword mix to improve the campaign performance. Google ads allow you a comprehensive range of performance indexes to analyse your businesses’ performance.
