Why search engine marketing?
85% of all traffic on the internet is referred from a search engine
90% of all users don’t look past the first 30 results (most only view top 10)
Many websites aren’t even indexed, most are poorly optimized and get
very little traffic from the search engines
Cost-effective advertising
Clear and measurable Return On Investment
Operates under this assumption:
More (relevant) traffic + Good Conv. Rate = More Sales/Leads
