SEM, or Search Engine Marketing, is a digital marketing strategy that involves the creation and management of paid advertising campaigns on search platforms such as Google Ads or Bing Ads. Its main objective is to increase visibility and qualified traffic to a website.

Key components of SEM:

1. Keywords:
   • Relevant terms that users might search for are selected.
   • These keywords trigger the appearance of the ads.
2. Ads:
   • Persuasive and relevant advertising texts are created.
   • They include a title, description, and destination URL.
3. Pujas:
   • It is established how much one is willing to pay per click on each keyword.
   • The system works like a real-time auction.
4. Quality Score:
   • Google evaluates the quality and relevance of ads and landing pages.
   • A better Quality Score can reduce the cost per click and improve positioning.
5. Segmentation:
   • Ads can be targeted by geographic location, language, device, etc.

Operating process:

1. The user is directed to the advertiser's landing page.
2. A user performs a search on Google or another search engine.
3. The search engine compares the query with the advertisers' keywords.
4. An instant auction is held among the relevant ads.
5. Winning ads are shown in search results, usually at the top or bottom of the page.
6. If the user clicks on an ad, the advertiser pays (pay-per-click or PPC model).

1. Structure campaigns, ad groups, and ads clearly and in a way that corresponds to the business categories being promoted. 
2. Choose the right type of campaign (search, shopping, display, etc.)
3. Keyword selection and match type: the first step is to select the keywords you want to bid on according to the words that represent you and taking into account the segmentation of the target audience you want to reach. Then, we will define the match type for these words: broad, modified broad, phrase, or exact. With these variables, we expand or narrow the campaigns and define the quality level of the traffic we obtain.
4. Use the sitelinks or ad extensions.
5. High Quality Score: a good level will keep the CPC of the campaigns from being so expensive and allow us to run effective campaigns.
6. Website or landing page optimization: Google places a high value on the user experience when they land on your website; therefore, it will boost pages that offer a good level of usability and performance, as well as a strong conversion rate.
7. Test and optimize: test, measure, and optimize if necessary.

Mistakes that can ruin your SEM campaign

You want more clients. More sales. More results. But if you do SEM poorly, you'll just be throwing money in the trash.

1. You don't know what you want to achieve. More traffic is not a goal. More sales, yes. Define what really matters before spending a dime.
2. Do you use any type of campaign. Search, display, shopping… If you choose the wrong one, you will attract the wrong people. And you will pay for it.
3. You aim at everyone and not the ones that matter. Not segmenting is like running an ad in an empty city. Your message needs to reach the person who actually wants to buy.
4. You are grouping ads and keywords poorly. If you mix everything together, nothing works well. Your ads lose relevance and Google punishes you with more expensive clicks.
5. Misused keyword match type. If it is too broad, you waste money on useless clicks. If it is too exact, no one finds you. There is a middle ground, find it.
6. You are not using ad extensions. More space, more information, more clicks. Why not use them?
7. Bids without strategy. Automatic? Manual? Choosing wrong means spending too much or wiping out.
8. No tests. No improvements. If you don't do A/B testing, you are still paying for mediocre ads without knowing it.
9. You don't measure conversions. One of the gravest mistakes: Are you paying for visits that don't buy? Without the conversion tag, you'll never know.
10. You ignore the Quality Score. Google charges you more if your ad is bad. Period.
11. Neglected landing page. If you promise something in your ad, the page must deliver. If not, goodbye conversion.
12. You do not use negative keywords. If you sell sunglasses, do you want to pay for clicks on “how to make sunglasses at home”? I don't think so.
13. You do not constantly optimize. Campaigns don't run on their own. Measure everything. Adjust. Improve. Or throw your money away.
14. You don't look at the competition. If you don't know what they do, they certainly know what you do. And they do it better.

💰 Every mistake costs money.

Get it right from the start. Or keep giving away your budget to Google. You decide.

If you are looking for immediate results, and you have the budget, it would be interesting to start with a SEM strategy and complement it with SEO. However, if you have more long-term goals, we recommend starting with a good basic SEO strategy, since it provides organic brand growth.

Because, although Google Ads is a powerful tool, its efficient management requires experience and dedication. Stick to your knitting.

If you have already tried creating campaigns on your own, you have surely encountered an avalanche of options and metrics that can be overwhelming. Small decisions, such as choosing the right keywords or creating engaging ads, can make a huge difference in the performance of your campaigns.

A specialized agency knows how to get the most out of Google Ads. With their experience, they optimize your ads, adjust your bids, and help you reach the right people at the right time. This way, you not only save time, but you also see better results and more conversions for your investment.

Instead of wasting time trying on your own, why not leave it in the hands of experts who will guide you to achieve your goals faster and with better results?

We help you!

First of all, a very valuable asset: time

That's right, the first thing a specialized Google advertising agency will take off your shoulders is a burden. What does this mean? Well, your digital marketing department will go from having to handle everything without being able to dedicate the necessary attention to the most crucial tasks, to being able to focus their efforts without having to oversee every day-to-day task and procedure. We already know that he who grasps much, holds little, and having to manage a multitude of channels at once will inevitably lead us to neglect some of them.

If we don't have enough time and energy to manage Ads campaigns, it will be difficult to develop the proper knowledge regarding PPC, as well as to thoroughly understand the technology behind the algorithm that governs these systems. These problems will vanish by hiring an agency specialized in Google Ads, because that is precisely what they do. We will be able to dedicate our time to tasks that truly need our attention and where we can genuinely generate added value. In this way, we will optimize our resources and our teams to the maximum.

You will benefit from all the knowledge of an experienced team

By hiring an agency, you will not only have a team of managers who will take care of day-to-day tasks, but you will also be able to leverage their experience and know-how to better understand the Ads system and figure out what works best for your business in terms of digital positioning. If you have an internal team, this effect is multiplied—not only because that team will have more numerous and specialized hands and eyes to carry out the work, but also because your own people will be trained in the subject matter.

In fact, in the long run, hiring fewer hands, but more expert hands, could mean significant savings in terms of hiring costs. Establishing an effective and winning methodology and mastering the field of Performance Management is not within everyone's reach: keyword and bid management, SEO and SEM strategies, Landing Page design, CRO plans... the fronts are multiple, and we will not always have the tools internally to solve all the problems and questions that may arise. The sooner we face them and learn how to solve them, the sooner we will optimize our presence on the internet.

Stability, preferential treatment, and a few secrets 😉

Google advertising agencies typically have representatives or ambassadors at Google who open the door to an advantageous position regarding familiarization with new methods and tools. This provides the opportunity to test new features before anyone else, something that is not as easy if you rely solely on an internal team for your digital marketing tasks. By taking advantage of the features offered by these new applications, you will be one step ahead of your competition, even before those tools are within their reach.

To this we must add that trusting a Google Ads Agency is synonymous with stability. Finding someone to handle Paid Media can be a real headache, especially since the average tenure in these positions tends to be short. This forces us to have to reformulate the strategy many times and resume processes that are always left half-done. If you want to have a specialized manager for your accounts, without having to worry about explaining where you are to the new manager every few months, a specialized agency is a good solution.

An expert Google Ads agency will help us simplify and optimize processes, saving us from surprises and setbacks, and placing us in a privileged position against our competitors.

1. You will be able to free up your teams without losing control of processes and objectives, and even save money on salaries.
2. You will be ensuring that you have an optimized product feed, built on a solid data structure, expertise in complementary tools such as Google Shopping and Google Merchant Center, and a methodology adapted to each sector and specific case.
3. You will have access to expert, experienced, and effective information and know-how.

The minimum investment for SEM is not a fixed number that we can just throw out off the top of our heads. It depends on many factors, and to give you a precise recommendation, we need to analyze your business, your industry, the competition, and even the keywords you are interested in. But let's try to break it down so you can better understand how it works:

1. Your target audience

• Audience sizeif your audience is very broad, you may need a larger budget to reach everyone.
• Search intentif people search for very specific terms (like «buy [product]»), clicks may be more expensive, but they are also more likely to convert.
• Geographic locationAdvertising in a small town is not the same as in a big city. Some areas are more expensive due to competition.

2. Your sector and competition

• Competency levelthere are sectors, such as insurance or lawyers, where competition is fierce and clicks are more expensive.
• Seasonalitysome businesses, like toys at Christmas, have peaks in demand that drive up prices.
• Profit marginif your product has a high margin, you can afford to invest more in advertising (this is KEY, we cannot promote products or services with low margins because you lose all profitability).
• Market maturity: if there are many companies like yours, you may need a higher budget to stand out.

3. Your sales goals

• Branding vs. ConversionsIf what you want is to get your name out there, you can start with a smaller budget. But if you are looking for direct sales, you will need a more solid investment.
• Sales volume: if you want to sell a lot, you'll have to invest more.
• Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)if your clients leave you a lot of money in the long run, it may be worth investing more upfront.
• Sales cycleif your product is expensive or takes a long time to sell, you will need longer campaigns and, therefore, a larger budget.

4. The selected channel

• Google Ads (Search)you can start with €15-20 a day, but prices vary depending on the competition; if you have competition, that amount might be ridiculous.
• Google Shoppinggreat for e-commerce, but may require more investment to stand out.
• Display and Remarketing: it is usually cheaper than search, but you have to be strategic.
• YouTube AdsIdeal for branding or for making multiple impacts with remarketing. It usually requires a larger budget to generate results.

5. What phase is your business in

• Startup: you probably need to invest more at the beginning to make yourself known and acquire clients.
• Established businessyou can take advantage of remarketing campaigns, which are usually more cost-effective (since they are warm audiences).
• Growth phase: if you want to grow fast, you'll need a bigger budget.
• MaturityIn this phase, the ideal approach is to optimize as much as possible and focus on customer retention.

SUMMARY:

Google Ads is not cheap advertising. It requires having a minimum budget to collect enough data to work with. It is important that you trust the process, our expert hands, and view it as an investment rather than an expense. If it's going to be «a lot» of money for you right from the start, you'd better not invest and wait.

We would recommend a minimum budget of 500-1000€ per month (ad spend only). With this, we can start testing and getting results. And as it starts working and your business volume grows, we can scale up.

Anyway, we would give you an approximate figure before you hire our services and start investing in advertising, and then you decide for yourself whether you want to take the step 🙂

Here is a general guide on what you can expect:

1. Initial phase: setup and strategy (first month) At the beginning, we will dedicate time to understanding your business, your goals, and your audience. During this phase, we will conduct keyword research, design ads, and set up the campaigns. This is a crucial step to ensure a solid foundation.

2. Campaign launch: initial data and adjustments (2-4 weeks) Once the campaigns are up and running, they will begin collecting data. During this initial period, you might start seeing some impressions and clicks. However, it is a learning phase where we will monitor and adjust the campaigns based on initial performance.

3. Continuous optimization: gradual improvements (1-3 months) As more data is collected, we will optimize the campaigns, adjusting bids, keywords, and ads. At this stage, you should start seeing an improvement in key metrics such as CTR (click-through rate), CPC (cost per click), and conversions. Patience is key, as continuous optimizations lead to stronger and more stable performance.

4. Sustainable results: consistent performance (3-6 months) Over time, the campaigns should be well optimized and you will start seeing more consistent and sustainable results. This includes an increase in conversions and a better return on investment (ROI). We will continue adjusting and refining the strategies to maximize performance.

Factors influencing turnaround time:

• Industry and competition: In highly competitive sectors, it can take longer to see significant results.
• Budget: A higher budget can accelerate the data collection and optimization process.
• Landing page quality: The effectiveness of your landing pages also affects the time needed to see results.

Expectations and goals: More ambitious goals may require more time and adjustments to achieve.
