FAQs

1. How much will it cost?

AdWords can pay for itself and suits advertisers of all sized budgets. We run campaigns from as little as £50 per month.

You pay a one–off set–up fee. This covers the cost of setting up your account and creating the right campaign for your business. We will agree a monthly click fund to suit your budget that is only used when someone clicks on your ad. We charge a small 'management fee' that covers the cost of managing your campaign.

2. How many clicks will I get?

It is difficult to predict as every company's campaign is unique. We will provide you with a login to the 'Report Centre' so that you can monitor how many clicks you are receiving.

3. Why can't I see my ad?

There are several factors that may prevent your ad being displayed:

• There is no remaining budget on the account.
• The ad is being targeted to a different local area from where you are.
• The correct search query was not entered to trigger an ad.

Each situation will need to be individually investigated to clarify the reason.

4. How much will I pay for a click?

The cost–per–click is determined by your chosen keywords and a number of other factors specified by Google. It is a live bid process so the amount could constantly vary. Our campaign structure ensures that you receive the best value per click. We will never exceed your budget.

5. How do I get in the top position?

Ad position is determined in an electronic auction, each time someone searches on a relevant keyword. We cannot guarantee your ad will always appear in the top position but it will predominantly appear on the first page of results. To maximise the success of the campaign we will ensure the most appropriate keywords are used along with effective ad texts.

6. What do I do if I suspect competitors are clicking on my ad to increase my costs?

Google has advanced technology to identify and filter invalid clicks. Google takes the problem of invalid clicks extremely seriously and uses detection and filtering software, including advanced monitoring techniques, to identify invalid click activity, as well as employing a team that examines individual instances of invalid clicks.

If you suspect someone has been performing invalid clicks contact us and we will investigate this for you. You will not be charged for invalid clicks.

7. Why do I need to pay for AdWords if my business is already showing naturally in the search results?

It is great if you already appear in the search results however there are additional advantages of having a paid listing:

• Create even greater visibility for users in your area who are looking for information about your products or services.
• Create visibility for a greater number of keywords that enables users to easily find your business even when it's not in the organic results.
• Promote your business to relevant users. A sponsored ad enables you to grab peoples' attention with a promotional message and link through to the most relevant page of your website. With an organic link you are not always in control of your promotional message.

Do you want more people to find your business online? Do you want a website that ranks highly in the major search engines? Infoserve can help you achieve this with a KeySite website.

Infoserve’s Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) service provides a completely bespoke solution, which is specific to your needs.

SEO is more than just fixing meta data (information placed in the coding of your website that provides details of page description, keywords etc) and writing content, it includes detailed research and analysis of your competitors' websites to assess what changes need to be made to your site to compete in that marketplace. Things we look at include content, links, and site structure:

• Content — The richest quality of text relevant to the search phrases.
• Links — A site that is linked to by many other websites dealing with the same niche.
• Build — A site that is optimally presented in terms of its code and structure.

Infoserve’s Keyword Management Report provides the equivalent to a health check of your website highlighting changes that can be made to improve your search engine ranking.

The Keyword Management Report provides you with a site analysis, evaluating your website for current keywords. After a consultation with our representative to discuss desired keywords and phrases, we will provide you with a report detailing changes that need to be made to your on and off page content.

Infoserve’s comprehensive report will also include clear instructions on how to insert this data into the coding of your website. If you prefer we can perform the insertion for you through our Keyword Insertion product.

Infoserve’s Keyword Management Report is the best place to start to increase your ranking and we have achieved great results in the past. You can see some examples of our Keyword Management first page rankings here.
