Search Engine Marketing is one of the things we do best here at Windy City Strategies. But sometimes, people don’t exactly know what that is. So this blog post is to help explain it to our clients who may not know for sure.
A search engine is something going to www.google.com and putting in a search term like “Chinese Food” in the search bar, or searching for something on the web on Yahoo, or Bing. Google is the most popular search engine, so we will use this as our example.
According to Google: “The primary objective of any search engine is to help users find the information, products or services they’re looking for online, quickly and accurately. When the user types a word or phrase, called a query, into the search engine, a set of results that are relevant to the query is displayed.”
So- if you wanted to find a law firm in Crystal Lake- you might type in the search field “Law Firm, Crystal Lake”.
Windy City Strategies provides consultation and services in all areas of Search Engine Marketing-
The shaded area at the top of the page is called Pay-Per-Click advertising- this is a paid section, where your advertising will be posted to the top of the search engine.
The paid results are in the pink area, and the organic (or Google selected) results are in the green area. You will notice that there are local listings first in this green area. That is the location portion of Google’s results- which displays local results from where your computer is searching from.
