Know What You're Signing Up For
Search Engine Marketing is the process of purchasing ads in search engines to appear for users based on their search queries and search behavior. In today’s world, that primarily means Google, YouTube, and Bing in the United States, with other search engines such as Yahoo, Ask, Aol Search, and DuckDuckGo, making up a smaller market share. Outside of the US, Baidu and Yandex search engines are quite popular as well. Search Engine Marketing can be broken down into a few different strategies:
Paid Search
Commonly known as Pay-Per-Click - it is the process of paying for a top position in search results that is very similar to most advertising campaigns. With choosing the right target queries and audiences, you can potentially rank at the very top of results the day you start spending. This makes it a great alternative to SEO (search engine optimization) for those who can’t rank right away for new queries. Paid Search Ads commonly occupy the first 1-3 listings in the search results, but may also occupy the listings on the first page of results.
Display Remarketing
This is a form of Ad Retargeting, which leverages a user’s search history to display advertisements for your company. These advertisements will appear on other websites, providing subtle opportunities for you to re-engage users.
Product Listing Ads
Are you an e-commerce site looking to have your products be relevantly displayed? Then Product Listing Ads should be part of your company’s bread and butter. PLA’s are a Cost Per Click feature that will display at the top of many shopping search results. Because of their placement and visual nature, they can be integral for selling products online.
The Danger with SEM
With SEM, you pay to play, and if you’re not converting it can become expensive, fast. Have you experienced the following?
Going over monthly ad budget
Wasted funds on irrelevant keywords
Cost Per Acquisition above profit margins
Landing Pages that do not convert
Exorbitant cost-per-click due to low page score

Google Ads
As the originators of the Pay Per Click model (versus Pay Per Impression), Google sits at the very top of any SEM strategists priority list. Recently, Google has announced a wide variety of new opportunities for Google Ads (formerly Google Adwords), but the basics are covered here.
Google Search Network
Text Ads
Your classic Text Ad will consist of 2-3 headlines with 30 characters each, as well as 1-2 descriptions of 90 characters each, and your ad’s display URL of your website. Each text based ad will correlate to keywords that are included on your campaign. Adding an ad extension will show users additional information and extra incentive to choose your business, such as your company’s promotions, seller rating, phone number, and more.
Call-Only Ads
Very similar to your classic Text Ad, these ads provide users with only the option to call when they click on the ad. This makes Call-Only Ads good for conversions, particularly on mobile.
Image Ads
A new opportunity in 2019, search ads can now feature an image on mobile in the number one ad position.
Local Search Ads
Local businesses can leverage Google Maps results with a local ad extension.
Google Merchant Center
Highly visual and perfect for all e-commerce, Google’s shopping feed allows users to scroll through products related to their query.
Dynamic Search Ads
One of Google’s most recent ad placements, with utilizing artificial intelligence to crawl your website and automatically generate ad copy for keywords on your site.
Google Display Network
The Display Network that Google has established is without question, the largest in the world. It has fewer types of ads available to it than the Search Network - your ads will appear on websites through AdSense or the DoubleClick Ad Exchange network - but more options for granular control for who sees your ad. These ads can appear on websites all across the world, as well as YouTube, making proper management crucial. Here are some common targeting strategies you may find used.
