What Is Local PPC
Advertising And Why Should You Consider It.
There are two basic versions of localized PPC - the
traditional PPC ad on a search engine that is programmed to appear
when the user searches using a location in their search phrase, and a
hybrid of PPC with various online telephone directories and online
shopping markets. Developers have gradually come to realize their
suspicions that many people research products services online, but
then buy at a local outlet are in fact true. This fact affects all
sizes of businesses. I myself was ready to purchase a new flat panel
monitor from arguably the best manufacturer via online, but canceled
my order once I realized that if I was unfortunate enough to have a
problem with the monitor, I would have to ship it back for repair.
Instead I walked across the street and bought my monitor at a local
outlet of one of the major chains. On the other side of the coin,
local businesses are often reluctant to put marketing money into a
website, much less a PPC campaign, because they know that the majority
of the traffic that will visit their website is probably too far away
to actually purchase from them or may not feel comfortable ordering
merchandise online. Research conducted by WebAdvantage found that 49%
of merchants they surveyed would use PPC ads online if they could
target their local market.
