Optimise Your Dental Adwords Campaign For Big Savings
Many dentists continue to waste money by failing to optimise their web marketing strategies. The two biggest culprits are a) payment for over-promised and under-delivered monthly support packages and b) poorly optimised and managed Adwords campaigns.
The latter element, Adwords, is a system whereby a dentist can secure high Google rankings using something called “pay-per-click” (PPC). Basically you pay Google to show your advert on page one and the more you pay (or bid) per click, the higher you advert appears. This mechanism can be useful in very competitive environments, for new websites or to advertise periodic special offers. Ideally you should consider investing in a solid organic (non-paid) SEO programme to reduce the reliance on PPC but Adwords does have a place and can be very useful if managed correctly.
However, way too many Adwords campaigns are not set-up correctly and then not managed ongoing. The potential to waste money is huge. To put this in perspective, dentists will typically be spending anything between £200 and £2000 per month on their Adwords campaigns depending on their location and competition. Experience shows that a properly managed dental Google Adwords campaign will cost 50% – 60% less than a poorly managed campaign. The savings potential is clear and significant. (more…)
