The wrong way to set up your
Google Ad This screen below is the result of
websites and ads resulting form a search using the phrase "laser
hair removal" from our office in Mission Viejo, California..
NONE of the Google ads (the Sponsored links) on the
right side of the page were targeted to geographical location.
The closest dermatology office that uses adwords offering this
service is 50 miles away from the search location and
another one is in New Jersey! They'll get clicks, but will they
get clients?
Why is this an issue? Aren't you supposed to want
people to see your website?
Well, if you have a big business of selling products and want to
compete in that arena, fine, but if you are wanting real clients
who will walk into your office and pay for your services, it is
money wasted to have ads that don't use geographic
targeting. (Similar to placing print ads..would you pay for
ads in a magazine in Dallas when your offices are in San
Francisco?)
A properly placed
Google
Adword
would ONLY show up to those searchers located in an area of no
more than 10 to 20 miles from your office.
How does the search engine know where the searcher is
located?
Each ISP (internet service provider, like your cable company
or AOL or MSN ) has assigned a number code to every internet
address - YOUR internet account. That internet address also has
a physical location (either your office or home) and that is a
"track-able" factor. Google "knows" exactly where that
computer is located and when the searcher keys in the terms
you have chosen for your ad, Google places your ad on that
resulting search page, but ONLY to those in the geographic area
you have selected!
Smart? You bet. It's like having someone call information and
ask for a dermatologist who provides laser hair removal and has
an office 5 miles away from your home or office. The information
operator then selects YOUR practice to tell them about, not some
office that is in another state. Result? Your ad is directly
targeted to the people who can logically become your client.
a great many advertisers on the web don't know this and end up
paying for showing their ads and websites to people who will
never buy from them or become a client. There is no need to
waste money by casting it into the internet universe in "hopes"
of connecting with a viable client.
Ads below are the ones returned from a "laser hair removal"
search from our office in Mission Viejo, California. The
relevant ones referring to dermatology offices are highlighted
in yellow. One was in Beverly Hills, 50 miles away. The other
two were on the East Coast! Targeted? Hardly. What else did this
tell us? NO Dermatologist in Mission Viejo or within a
reasonable radius was using the Adwords. If he/she had, their ad
and would have been one of the first ads we would have seen,
representing a HUGE loss of exposure and potential. (We
harp on this because it is such a dynamite system!) Not only
that, but the search also shows us that there were 436,000 site
listings for laser hair removal. What better way to put
yourself at the top!!
