Forrester Finds Significant Paid Search Flaws
by Frank Reed on April 12th, 2010
Oftentimes SMB’s feel like they can’t compete against the larger players in search marketing. While that can be a very real concern because of budgets it’s not the case in actual execution of paid search campaigns. Paid search is more than just deep pockets always winning the game.
In fact, many of those companies dumping large sums of marketing budgets into paid search are in effect wasting their money.
Forrester Group has done some research in this area showing just how ineffective many paid search campaigns are in many verticals including business services, financial services and travel.
So what does this mean for independent dealers of larger brands? Opportunity. It’s a place where an SMB can literally go head to head with a larger brand and succeed. It turns out that many paid search campaigns fail to do the basics well and as a result leave searchers stranded. What if your business was there doing the right things and helped searchers find just what they were looking for? What if you were helping them make the decision to buy from you?
Take a look at just how deficient many paid search efforts are.

Are you doing everything you can through paid search to bring more business to your business? Is there co-op money that is going unused that could be put toward finding more customers? Are there MDF programs that are underutilized?
