Local Search Engine Marketing Phoenix Scottsdale Arizona

Local Search Engine Marketing (LSEM) involves two types of inbound or pull marketing strategies: Pay per click (PPC) and search engine optimization (SEO) targeting local keyword searches.

When consumers use search engines, they are usually researching their next purchase or looking for a business they can order from online. The anatomy of search engine results is unrecognizable to many consumers while they are doing their “clicking”.

Sponsored links or PPC ads appear immediately at the top of a search results page and often carry over to the right column. They are highlighted with a different background color to differentiate themselves from the organic listings below. Companies that utilize PPC are able to set target keywords, bid on keyword costs (cost per click, or CPC) and custom tailor their campaigns to best fit their industry and budget.

Organic or “natural” search results are achieved by best practices of search engine optimization. Organic search results, often including local maps and social media, are the list of results found beneath the sponsored results. When a consumer clicks on an organic link, there is no cost to the website’s owner. Therefore this is the most preferred method of obtaining leads and is constantly sought after.

In order to succeed in both PPC and/or SEO, Stealth Media Agency plans, manages, monitors and tracks every factor associated to search engine marketing. Below, you will find the advantages to either option.
