Writing unique and well-targeted copy for SEM is a pivotal step in achieving marketing success for online lead generation campaigns. Are you looking to create brand awareness for a new concept, product, or company? Or, are you interested in meeting and exceeding your current PPC lead generation, CTR, and ROI goals?
Either outcome can be achieved through extensive analysis of your users’ wants and needs, in combination with a thorough assessment of your existing business model and advertising approach.
Quick Tips From Our PPC Lead Generation Experts:
1. Profiling Your Target Audience
Whether you are offering a service, a product, or information, you will need to tailor your advertising content to appeal to the right customer in order to obtain the desired response, while maintaining an optimal cost-to-profit ratio. Knowing WHO your target audience is, WHAT they want, WHERE they are searching for it, and HOW, is a must before beginning to construct your copy. Be prepared to thoroughly research your ideal clients’ profile with respect to the keywords they are searching; consider the geographical, economic, and possible personal aspects that may effect your message.
2. Establishing Credibility
Use your branding copy to establish your company’s credibility in the increasingly competitive e-commerce marketplace. Reach out and connect to your target audience with a clear depiction of what your company is, the services it offers, and how it meets the specific needs of the user in a unique way. By clearly stating what your company provides and effectively instructing users how to take advantage of your offering, you will generate leads that are both high in number and in quality. Good branding copy is the groundwork to a solid relationship between you and your potential customers, and a foundation for increasing your ROAS.
3. Creating Effective Call-To-Action
Your call-to-action, or CTA, is the most important piece of information on your page – make certain that it reflects your marketing message accurately. So, what exactly is a call-to-action? CTA is a phrase that entices the user to take action: buy a camera, call now, find your classmate, get a free sample, etc. Before you consider using a specific call-to-action, review the steps required to generate a lead, ensure that your copy persuades the users to do exactly what you want them to do. You will need to properly draft, edit, and position your message for maximum effect.
4. Deciding on Copy Length
Copy length has always been an arguable point with online lead generation companies, but the truth is, it’s not about the length, but about your actual message. Do you understand what your customer is looking for and how he is doing so using a search engine? Have you successfully conveyed your product’s and company image? Is your call-to-action clear and concise? When you are deciding on your copy length, you should not give it as much thought as your copy content. Lastly, as a general guideline, your copy should aim to say only as much as is required to answer any questions a user possibly ask before taking action, in the least amount of words possible.
5. Testing Effectiveness and Refining Your Approach
Test the effectiveness of your direct response copy using scientific method: A/B Split testing. Through testing you will be able to determine the kind of copy consumers respond to best, and ultimately produces the most leads. This is in no way a new practice, but a tried and true method, used by many pay per click lead generation services, of refining your message and its appeal. A/B tests can be run for titles, content, or small details such as verbiage or keywords. Though it takes time, the tests’ results are vital to achieving optimal account performance. As with any scientific method, you must hypothesize an ideal outcome and devise a means of monitoring, gathering, and analyzing your data.
