Search Engine Marketing

Paid Search Agency

Search engine marketing (SEM), Paid Search, or Pay Per Click (PPC), lets businesses promote themselves at the top of the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). The pay-per-click model of paid search means brands don’t pay unless their ads are successful, making it an ideal marketing channel.

We have years of expertise as a SEM agency, helping build data driven PPC ads that convert your audiences into customers, reaching your business goals.

What is search engine marketing?

Search engines use algorithms to bring back the most relevant results for any search, with paid ads appearing right at the top of the page. Search engines like Google use an auction function to determine which ads should be placed for each search result, based on how much the company is willing to bid for a term and the searcher’s intent.

Search Engine Marketing comprises a mix of both paid advertising and organic Search Engine Optimisation to rank higher on the search engine result pages. At M&C Saatchi Performance, our expert team of search engine marketers has a breadth of experience in successfully executing highly effective search engine marketing campaigns across Industries & Categories on various search platforms.

The Benefits of
Search Engine Marketing

Search engine marketing is a great way to cut through the noise and increase the number of people who visit your website. Through our search engine marketing services, you can expect:

Fast Results

After your campaign has been set up correctly, you can start seeing results as soon as your ad is live. PPC is an ideal strategy for optimising web traffic, leads and conversions, as users searching with your keywords usually have a higher intent.

Selective Targeting Opportunities

Personalise campaigns to target specific audience segments. There are geographical and demographic targeting solutions that ensure your ads are only seen by the right people. Retargeting campaigns allow you to create tailored messages and calls to action that ensure your customers are enticed to revive their journey from where they left off.

 

Increased web traffic

With effective ad campaigns, anyone who clicks on the ad will be sent directly to your website. From here, you can direct them on any journey you like, either taking action straight from the landing page or navigating through your site further.

Full transparency

Search engines provide instant access to all of the information you need to understand the success of your campaign, including top-performing keywords, click-through rates, impressions and conversions. We distil all of this information into a handy report so you understand everything at a glance.
