The PPC Industry is Changing Fast

PPC is changing rapidly. The techniques and the display preference form Google, both are changing and the experts must keep up with the pace to keep their PPC campaigns relevant. We shall discuss the few recent changes in PPC in this blog.

Firstly, PPC now offers remarketing. Remarketing means getting lost customers back. On a slightly elaborate note, if a customer slips away before completing the purchase process on your website, Google will mark that client and whenever he visits a website where Google can display ads, Google will show your ads to him. You are free to tell Google how to select these customers. You can tell Google for how long to show the ad before giving up. Not every PPC agency in Essex can offer perfectly optimised Remarketing solution because it takes a deeper understanding of Google Adwords.

Secondly, you might have noticed, you don't see the results, the paid results, on the right hand side of the search result page, not anymore. Google has changed policy and now, all the ads are displayed right at the top and some at the bottom. This means, the ranking of your ad is now directly related to your rank. The side ads didn't work well anyway and many advertisers preferred a bottom placement than a side placement.

Finally, the ratio of the organic versus paid results are changing. There are search queries where Google displayed as low as 7 organic entries and the remaining page was filled with paid entries.

Two Major Sections of SEO

SEO stands for search engine optimisation and it leads to better online presence.

SEO can be categories into two major sections, paid and unpaid or free and most of the agencies providing SEO in Essex offers both services.

Free or unpaid SEO is often called SEO, natural SEO or organic SEO.

After that, there are approximately 10 results which don't have that marking. These are the organic result. The aim of organic SEO is the get the website included among these 10 results.

Other unpaid digital marketing channels might be unpaid social media promotion and email marketing. Video marketing, unpaid inbound content marketing and online reputation management are some of the more niche unpaid SEO techniques.

Among the paid SEO, there are majorly two segments, the search engine paid promotion and social media paid promotion. The 2-4 search results at the top of the page which has the ‘ad’ marking, are actually paid results. Companies need to pay for these slots and judging on many aspects, a few are displayed for the search phrase. On social media, certain posts are promoted and sent to millions of users in the paid promotion.

Find A SEO Company Which You Can Trust

Properly done search engine optimisation can bring the website to the top of search result page when a person searches for a service or product without looking for any particular website. The idea is to help people to find a proper result, a service or a product from a particular company, when they are not looking for any particular company or are unaware of the companies who sell that product or service. There can be a hundred ways of increasing the ranking in SEO but the approved methods are a handful. These methods are often called white hat SEO. The idea here is to make the websites friendly towards the search engines so that the engines rank the website high for particular queries.

It is not uncommon to plan to hand over the SEO duties to a more specialised agency and that has multiple advantages as well. However, the market is full of shady players who defraud the clients who need SEO campaign. They mostly target the small and local businesses because they can get away with those. How, then, one finds a legit and trustworthy SEO agency on the internet?

It is actually easy to find the reputable agencies. Open your browser, go to a search engines and search for a SEO agency. The top few results are the paid results which are marked and you can ignore those results. Then, you can find lots of good agencies listed on the page and they are really dependable agencies because they rank. Had they not known SEO, their own site wouldn't have been ranking so high, isn't it? If you are looking for a local agency, you should search for SEO Company Essex or whatever your location is.

Sometimes, people who represent various SEO companies or at least, claim to do so, send our email newsletters to probable clients. These agencies offer special rebates and other enticements in the email. However, it would be wise to simply ignore these messages. If an agency is claiming to be the best in SEO, why does it resort to emailing random clients instead of ranking on the search engine result page? If they are not trusting their SEO skills, you shouldn't trust that either. The same can be said for the paid results which appear at the top of the result page. They pay to get those spots, which mean, they aren't confident of natural ranking either.

Two Challenges Faced While Ecommerce Website Designing

If you are planning to come up with an ecommerce website, the most difficult part would be the design or planning of the site. The technical back-end of the website is surely important but if nobody is planning to buy anything from you, the solid back-end is for no purpose. Buyers will only want to buy from a website which looks professional, has intuitive navigation and clean. The design should concentrate on making the buying process a smooth experience for the visitors. So, basically, while designing your ecommerce website, you face two challenges, time and money. We will discuss these two challenges here.

1st Challenge: Most people don't know where they can find a reliable agency for ecommerce website design in Essex. Most often, they start with asking their family, friends or relatives, the natural network we have. This approach is perfect and you can find a good agency via this. People tend to rely and trust an agency which comes recommended from a contact. However, this approach is old and with globalisation you might miss a good overseas agency which your contact would surely be unaware of.

2nd Challenge: Website design is only look and no feel, you can't touch, smell or taste it. Thus, conveying the idea to a designer becomes challenging. You might find it hard to explain the exact visual affects you want in your website. Communication with the designing agency is our 2nd challenge.
