Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Search Engine Marketing (SEM)?
Search engines like Google and Yahoo provide two subsets of results for each search. Organic Results and Paid Listings.
Organic Results are algorithmically determined by the search engine. Control of where your website ranks in the organic results is largely out of your direct control and can take many years to see results.
Paid listings, on the other hand, are keyword specific ads that can be purchased. Paid listings are typically found at the top of results and in the right column of the search results page. The results are immediate, and the effect on your business volume can be incredible.

Webtown Media focuses on the paid listing aspect of search engine marketing. Our professional search engine marketers choose keywords that best fit your website and your products. When someone in your business area searches those keywords, your listings will appear in the paid listings areas of search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask.

I already buy clicks from Google or Yahoo at a lower price than what you are offering. Why do I need Webtown Media?
You can certainly buy clicks for a slightly lower price by purchasing them directly from the individual search engine. Most small business owners find their time too valuable and prefer an outsourced solution. You can also change your own oil or cut your own hair at a discounted rate, but this work is best left to professionals. Internet marketing is no different. Your campaign should be handled by competent professionals who eat, breathe, and live internet marketing.
A typical small business online marketing campaign can take a week to research and setup and several hours each day to manage. A lot of work goes into properly setting up and managing a campaign including:
- Finding the best keywords for your business.
- Creating and uploading ads for each individual search engine. (Each search engine has different specifications and rules.)
- Daily management of keyword bids and budgets.
- Optimizing ad copy and ad creatives.
- Dealing with multiple invoices & several sources.
With Webtown Media, one simple ad buy is all you need to place your website on search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask, AOL, and more. All told, your business will be placed on search engines that get in excess of 95% of US search volume.
I am currently enrolled in ad programs from Google and Yahoo. Can I be your customer as well?
How many new customers will I acquire each month?
Conversion rates vary dramatically for each business and website. Our product will lead the horse to water, but we can't force the horse to drink. You can increase your conversion rate in a few ways:

We guarantee qualified leads delivered to your website. What you do with those leads is up to you!
Will the visits be spaced out over the month, or all at once?
Can I choose which engines my ads run on?
