Pay-per-click Delivers Customers to Your Website Starting NOW!

Pay-per-click (PPC) is the ONLY way to guarantee a first page ranking on Google and Yahoo when a customer searches for your keywords. First page on Google and Yahoo is where every website wants to be because between them, these two search engines account for well over 75% of searches done on the Internet.

What exactly is PPC? In a nutshell you bid against your competitors for keywords that can lead your customers to your website. You pay when a customer searching on Google or Yahoo clicks on your PPC ad and visits your site. Cost ranges from 10¢ per click and up with the average being 25¢ to $1 per click. You have full control over how much you spend per keyword, per day and per month.

PPC is invaluable when you launch a new website and don't want to wait the weeks/months it can take to achieve first page ranking on Google and Yahoo. We can have your PPC campaign up and running within days. PPC can help you advertise specials and fill your schedule because it's flexible: your campaigns can be paused and restarted to suit your schedule and advertising needs.

Say the word and we'll get started on your PPC campaign. We will work with you to develop a comprehensive list of keywords that your customers might use to search for your products or services. Then we'll write great ads that describe what you offer and open PPC accounts with Google and Yahoo/Overture.

Once everything is set up and the pay-per-click campaigns are busy directing targeted traffic to your site we can either continue to monitor your PPC campaigns for a reasonable monthly fee (meeting your monthly "clicks budget") or you can take over the monitoring yourself. The choice is yours.

Featured Client

Campbell River Hospital Foundation
The Campbell River Hospital Foundation is a registered charity dedicated to fundraising to enhance the services and facilities of the Campbell River & District General Hospital.

Working closely with staff at the Foundation we developed a logo and brand that represents their philosophy and promotes a professional, approachable image. We developed supporting marketing materials including business cards, letterhead and envelopes as well as brochures and posters for the new Caring Spirit initiative to create acknowledgement and appreciation between patients and hospital doctors, nurses and staff.

We also designed the Foundation website, supporting and expanding the brand. Visit their website here - it includes information about the Foundation, events, a photo gallery and a gateway to a secure donation page. Watch for their next event in April, 2010 - their version of "The Price is Right!" at the Tidemark Theatre.
