Stand out in front of the right audience at the right time

Modern customers are demanding and picky. They analyse, they discuss, and they compare their options. The bulk of this research happens directly in Google (and to a small degree Bing), making SEM a brilliant opportunity to capture your ideal customer. Getting to the top of Google Search organically requires a long term effort building SEO. However, quick results and direct conversations can be achieved through paid marketing. Be it a new product, service, bundle or simply a new campaign—with the help of SEM, you’ll get to the top of your customers’ search, ensuring you stay top-of-mind in their purchase decision.

It's easy to run ads. It's hard to make them sustainable long-term

The quick-win of SEM still poses a number of challenges. Your SEO and SEM strategies aren’t two distinct areas but require joint orchestration to achieve maximum results, allowing you to target high-volume keywords whilst also standing out amongst the crowd. Today, the competitive ad landscape is more intense than ever, and is particularly daunting if you are delivering a complex product or service. You need in-depth understanding about your customers’ search behaviour and a SEM strategy that effectively targets this with your offering. Otherwise, you'll end up with bloated ad spend and unsustainable growth, essentially just throwing arrows at random in an attempt to hit that bullseye.

FAQs

Can I do this myself?

Yes, for sure. There are a number of resources online that you can use as guidance to review your PPC strategy, make improvements and start achieving better results. However, the benefit of bringing ikaros on board to assist is the knowledge transfer you'll attain from a team who have built and developed a myriad of high-impact PPC strategies across companies of all sizes and industries. You'll benefit not only from our actionable and tailored recommendations, but also from our internally-developed, best-practices and automated processes that deliver high-impact results & clear reporting capabilities.

Why does it matter?

Search demand is the ultimate validation. If your business has demand on Google, this should be one of your key focus points. In that case, it's much better than most other channels. When done right it will skyrocket your top-of-the-funnel metrics and allow you grow your customer-base quickly and sustainably.

During our FullStory platform implementation the ikaros team was invaluable. They took the initiative to address tracking issues through GTM, set up crucial Amart Website dashboards, and collaborated seamlessly with our team, including developers and IT. Everything was extremely well documented and communicated. I highly recommend their services with the implementation of the FullStory platform.
