Who Should Do PPC?

1. Everyone should do at a minimum a small amount of PPC corresponding to your most important keywords within your key geographies.

2. Businesses that do best are:

• The types of businesses that used to be listed in the yellow pages.

• Businesses with hard to find specialty items or services

• High margins or possibility of repeat business

3. Easy to turn on/off so give it a try!

• The Goal is NOT to buy tons of Clicks

• Instead buy as FEW, high quality clicks as possible! Only keywords that correspond to exactly what you do.
