International PPC
Most U.S.-based companies are familiar with the idea of Pay Per Click Advertising. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, be sure to review our Pay Per Click Management Services page for basic information.
International marketing is the flip side to local marketing online. If your site is an extension of your brick and mortar location (think pizza parlor) and you’re not offering to ship products or provide services worldwide, your niche audience is based on a specific locale.
But if your company has the ability to ship products worldwide, or wishes to attract an international clientèle, then reaching a broader audience is something you actively seek. Why limit yourself to attracting visitors from the United States? Why not consider using search marketing to specifically attract an international audience?
While International SEO can help increase your organic visibility in mainstream search engines for internationally targeted terms as well as increase your visibility in the popular search engines used most frequently in other countries, International PPC can help reach those same consumers living in other countries as well.
Advertising opportunities in search aren’t limited to Google, Yahoo, and MSN and their country specific versions (such as Google.de, fr.yahoo.com, es.msn.com, uk.ask.com). Our International PPC can help you develop additional paid search campaigns in popular country-specific search engines as well. For example, naver.com in Korea, isle.nl in the Netherlands, and baidu.com in China.
