This includes ad design, keyword generation, ad copy, optimization and trend analysis, reporting and strategy. In essence, new ads may be created immediately to allow for rapid optimization.
Before campaigns are created, in-depth research is performed to ensure that appropriate advertising channels are chosen for your campaign. BSD walks every client through each step so that all objectives are clearly identified and appropriate expectations may be set. Services include:
Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
BSD specializes in both awareness and conversion (ROI) based campaigns. Pay-per-click is an auction based advertising medium where advertisers bid on search terms within search engines i.e., Google, Yahoo! and MSN. Advertisers benefit by only paying when a user clicks on an ad and visits the advertiser’s site. Further, a pay-per-click campaign optimized correctly will result in lower costs per click. On average, BSD has lowered cost-per-click by 45% for pay-per-click clients, resulting in more clicks to advertiser sites for less cost.
