The concept of B2B marketing is as old as commerce itself. B2B marketing stands for business to business marketing and is essentially self explanatory. It should not, however, be confused with B2C marketing which stands for business to consumer marketing. The former focuses its marketing strategy on businesses while the latter sells products and services directly to the consumer. B2B marketing has evolved significantly since the first World’s Fair (originally titled Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations) which was held in London in 1851.

Integrated Internet Marketing
The golden days of marketing solely with flashy television advertisements or print media have quickly faded with the advent of the Internet as a marketing and sales platform. Online businesses have unique needs that need a multi-tiered approach to increasing sales and building a solid customer base for long term success. A uniform plan is no longer an ideal solution because the competition is only getting stiffer and more up to date with marketing advancements. Each part of an integrated marketing plan will help reach each business owner’s goals and Optimum7 wants to build one from the ground up for your company.
Local PPC (Pay per Click) Advertising
Back in the early days of Internet marketing, pay-per-click (PPC) advertising was not very competitive. There were few companies taking advantage of the first networks such as Overture and Adwords. As search volume increased on search engines, PPC became more competitive.
PPC ads can be the most targeted ads in your online marketing campaigns. Companies only pay when prospects respond by clicking a link (ad). Not only does this restrict AdSpend to highly targeted prospects, but it also provides valuable insight into the prospects’ motivations. Local PPC advertising campaigns set up with a professional Search Engine Marketing consultant allow local businesses to tap into long-tail search queries and draw a steady stream of prospects to their websites and physical locations.

Outsourcing Google AdWords Services
Google makes it so easy to launch an AdWords campaign, that it is almost a deception. New users can easily manipulate the tools at their disposal, make changes in real time, and cut off any campaign in a matter of clicks. However, Google makes money whether those campaigns succeed in generating revenue or not. In fact, Google makes more money when a company has to run more ads to meet its campaign goals. Keep this deceptive simplicity in mind when evaluating whether your company should outsource Google AdWords services. Outsourcing your Adwords’ services potentially is the smartest decision you can make.

Google Certification
Google’s certification program allows companies to become AdWords Certified Partners. Earning Certified Partner status is a twofold process where a company representative passes two exams to demonstrate knowledge of Google AdWords tools and online advertising, and then the company achieves a minimum threshold of AdWords experience. Thus Google certification proves a company has both book smarts and street smarts.
Individual Qualification
Google AdWords has a learning center where pay-per-click (PPC) professionals can receive training in Google AdWord’s best practices. When ready, these students can take the Advertising Fundamentals Exam to demonstrate their understanding of AdWord’s tools and best practices.
