Over the past year clients have asked for more choices rather than a one-size fits all approach. We’ve listened & what you’ll find below are our ever-expanding list of services relating to Google AdWords in the order that you might need them. Or simply ask us to do it all for you!
AdWords Account Setup – we’ll setup your Google account & AdWords account for you, make sure all the settings are correct & that it links to your Google Analytics account (yep we can set that up for you too).
Keyword Research – it’s often been said online that content is king, in which case keywords are queen. It’s vital for your sanity & ROI to choose the right keywords on which to bid. Let’s look at an example. Say you sell tax accounting services in Sydney. Phrases such as ‘tax’ or ‘sydney’ are too broad & not relevant enough to what you actually offer (however the system will let you bid on them – as long as you pay a small fortune!). Very long phrase such as ‘where can I find a really good tax accountant in central sydney’ are effectively useless. It would take you a year to come up with all the various combinations of those (& all the other) words you could use. In other words they’re too specific. The trick with AdWords is to hit the middle ground; not too broad, not too specific – just right. And to have a combination of short head, mid-tail & long tail keywords in separate groups.
Competition Research – one of the great things about Google AdWords is that all advertisers leave tracks. That means that it’s possible to see a lot of what your competitors are doing. When starting out this means positioning your offer in a unique way in the market. How can you stand out? Be remarkable compared to the other advertisers? Once you’re proficient with AdWords you may want to ‘spy’ on those competitors & see what they change. Are they bidding on the same keywords as you? Which Ads do they keep & which do they change? Why? We can show you how to monitor your competitors over time & what you can learn by doing that.
Negative Keyword Research – one of the least used aspects of the AdWords system is the ability to not show your ads to people that type in certain words or phrases. Not only does this stop the risk of those people accidentally clicking on your ad (which wastes money), it actually makes your cost of advertising go down over time. The reasons why are too complicated to go into here (ask us to explain) but it’s one of the tricks to the system: the better you get at using the system, the cheaper the cost of attracting those visitors to your website.
We’ve got a huge list of negative keywords you might want to choose from – just fill out the form below to request it 
Ad Copy Writing – finding it hard to write Ads that achieve decent click thru rates? We’ve achieved rates as high as 67.9% for some Australian advertisers (that was an unusually high campaign!) & regularly get 3-7% across almost all of the (50+) accounts we manage. Why not let us write a couple of test ads for you & see if we can beat your best effort. If we can’t, we won’t charge you – & you can’t say fairer than that!
Content Network – you’re not constrained to only show Ads on Google.com (or Google.com.au in Australia). In fact you can show many different types of Ad across a huge range of websites across the entire Internet. Show image, video & gadget ads on blogs, forums, social media sites like MySpace & Facebook, newspaper site, directories, portals & many more. Because 90% or more of AdWords advertisers don’t make use of this there are huge & profitable opportunities for you here. We can make sure you do it the right way – or simply do it for you. Also imagine being able to see a list of the top 20 sites that allow google ads for each of your main keywords – wouldn’t that give you a huge advantage over you competitors?! You bet – we’ll not only give you that report, we’ll put your ads on those sites. (Or you can just buy that report for a tiny $47 & do the rest yourself – it’ll save you days of work…)

Where can you sign up? Before we dive into bed with each other, let’s start by having a chat & make sure that your business could benefit from using Google AdWords. Please complete the short form below & we’ll contact you whenever you tell us is convenient.
It’s worth pointing out that we setup your account in your name & you have your own log in – so you can check the account any time you see fit & so that payment is completely transparent. So many agencies create your campaigns under their own master account which leaves you locked in to their service. you leave, they keep the IP.
We don’t think that’s good for you, so we do things differently. You get to retain all the IP of our setup – even if you only stay for a month. There are no contracts, no red tape & you’re free to cancel at any time (we just ask for a little notice).
Payment is completely transparent, you pay Google for the cost of the clicks (& get to keep the frequent flier points), we just get paid for the management of the account.
