Google or Facebook for advertising?

Dont make the mistake of advertising on the wrong platform.

If you had $5 and wanted a customer, would you advertise on Facebook or Google?  You need to think about your customer and what they would do.

If my hot water system had broken down and I needed to fix it fast, my first thought would be to search on Google for a plumber in my area.  I would click on the first few results and see which website appealed to me.  If I saw 24/7 Plumber, Free quotes, I would probably call them first.

In the above situation you would spend your $5 on Google.

So when would you advertise on Facebook?

Say you owned a dress shop.  Most ladies love to window shop and if they see something they like and the price is right you generally have a buyer.  The buyer may of never known that type of dress was even available.

The owner of the dress shop can target it’s previous clients, their friends and ladies within a 10 km radius between 35 and 45 years of age, announcing and showing the brand new range and a call to action, to either buy online or come into the shop. This can prove to be very powerful and hence why businesses are spending billions of dollars on Facebook.

Target Market

Facebook is incredible at advertising and making your service or product known to a target market.

  • If you are a business coach you can advertise to business owners.
  • Fishing stores can target people interested in Fishing.
  • Nightclubs can target Adolescence within 10 kms.
  • Mortgage brokers can target FIFO.
  • Dating agency can target single men aged 40 to 50.
  • Function centers can target engaged couples.
  • Real Estate agents can target investors.
  • Boat mechanics can target people with interests in Boats.
  • Wineries can target wine lovers.
  • Accountant’s can target workers within 15 kms.

I think you get where I’m going with this. If you have a target audience Facebook can target your business towards them.

Money making content easily created for your business.

Golf Content for Social Media

Golf Content for Social Media

In Just 30 minutes create a massive resource of money making content for your business.

Most business don’t have an active blog on their website but do have a Facebook page. It is generally left to the 20 year young secretary to keep this up to date. However what if you could give your Facebook “posting” person, great content that will actually draw in more customers.  After all that is what we want isn’t it more customers?

We did this for a golf course.  This is what happened.

Golfers have started to talk about the business and share content. They even become raving fans.

Here is what we did so we never have to think about what content our customers want to see.

  1. We used a Free survey program that you can google called Typeform.
  2. We listed the outcomes we wanted for the golf course.
  • More players in off peak times.
  • We wanted to sell more lunches.
  • We wanted to sell more alcohol.
  • We wanted to know what golfers wanted.

3. We produced 9 questions each relating to the above. We made 7 of the 9 questions multiple choice so it was very easy for the golfer.

4. We offered 20 free games of golf as a prize for this information, which we were drawing in 2 days time. This made the survey urgent.  We then emailed it to our database and also advertised it on Facebook with just a $60 spend.

5. In the 2 days we had 873 responses with some great ideas. Below is a screen shot from typeform. All this FREE. From the responses we now know exactly why people are playing golf and the influences effecting their golf.

Now our newsletters, blogs and Facebook posts have content in which we know our audience is interested in. Our content is also shared and talked about which we can see through our Facebook and newsletter platform. Plus we have also had an increase in player numbers which is one of our original goals.

Our plan is simple. Ask your customer what they want!

If you have any questions or would like a hand setting up campaigns please let me know.

Here are some examples below:

999999

Paypal is a well-recognised brand.

Simple tool bar that gets to the point Buy, Sell, Send, Business and login details.  How often do you see a tool bar that has way too many choices?  If you give a customer too many choices they get indecisive and don’t choose anything.

88888

I really like this site. You feel the experience straight away. www.skydivejurienbay.com is actually a video in the background. The contrast of “View packages button” and “Book online” really stand out and draws your eye. It tells the customer what to do without scrolling.

7777777

Work, Life, Balance what every business owner has thought about. Nice clear message, great video and straight to the point.  They also have lots of other pages which they have on the tool bar as a drop down MOREv.

Two things business owners need to know about Google Paid and Non-Paid Advertising

Capture

Google search is simply a tool that your customers use and can make you $’000’s

  1. Paid Per Click (PPC) is the ads you see at the top of Google and the right hand side.

123

Advantages

Your business can get to the top of Google almost immediately
Headlines and words can be created to attract the clients click. E.g. Plumber Perth $50 Off
You can direct the customer to the exact page you want to increase conversions. Landing pages are great in this situation
You can target the location of the clients. E.g. If you would just like to show these ads to people living within 10km of Perth city
You can pick what days and the time of day you would like the ad to appear
You can have your ad show on particular “key phrases” that your clients type into Google. Google will even tell you what people are typing in

Disadvantages:

Once your budget runs out you are no longer seen. This can happen at 9am in the morning and you won’t be shown again unless you increase your budget.
Research has shown that only 11% of people click on the ads. This is also supported by our clients reports who we manage PPC.
PPC can be complicated, like anything it takes a bit of learning and there are so many options and variances that need to be taken into consideration. i.e. Negative keywords, quality score, manual bids, auto bidding and conversion tracking to name a few.

2. Organic Listings. The listings you see under the top ads are what’s termed “organic” or “natural” listings.  The reason why Google is such a great tool is due to the fact the result is the most relevant and there are choices.

456

Advantages:

You can be clicked on all day long and you won’t disappear.
89% of consumers click on the organic rankings.
You do not pay every time someone clicks on your website.
Traffic and leads coming through your organic rankings increase the value of your business.

Disadvantages

It can take months for your business to achieve good rankings.
Its not always possible to have the heading you want and be directed to the page you want your clients to go to.
It takes a lot of work to get rankings and if unethical methods are used to get you ranking you can be wiped of Google altogether.

Yes I may be biased because I live and breathe Google, but just think do you or any of your customers use Google?  If Yes then consider an internet marketing plan.
