Marketing Granite Countertops Online
Marketing companies solicit my client all the time. They tell them.. generate 5-800% more traffic from organic. Never Pay Per Click again. Oh and 80% of results come from organic results. Well My research says different. (other niche markets these numbers may be true) but for the Granite market this is not the case.
One of our clients that has been with us from 2008 has top ten placement for 100's of keyword combination. and the traffic that we generate now 3 years later from this is significant. Actually it represents 2/3's of the traffic to the site. here is the rubb.. the bounce rate is higher from Organic listings (indication of less targeted visitor) and these visits are from all over the world. This is a local granite fabricator looking for business within the local market(s). (indication of less targeted visitor) So for the local business (Looking for customers within a target radius) Organic SEO will drive numbers to a website but this is intrisically flawed since being #1 for granite countertops in google will drive traffic but the majority will be outside a designated market.

Lets ask this question.. why is the focus on the first page of search ans specifically the first page of Google. Because the results are so good that the user looking for a product or service does not have to go any further. This is not due to the organic results - as you may have heard all the buzz about quality updates. Its about the advertisers and the ability to target offers to the local market and the the local business. the rules that 80% click on organic or the more intelligent people click on the organic is just not true anymore. THe advertising in the sponsored ad area is actually becoming better quality than the organic results because more pople are clicking on them. Why.. Because of the organic search spammers are killing organic but placing the wrong businesses at the top of search.

The message - I can put a strategic message in front of searchers that produces clicks and with the right budget factors i can put you above the organic results in the top 3 spots.

At the end of the day ask any marketer this question... HOW MANY SALES AM I GOING TO RECEIVE. If they wont answer that questions then think twice.
