About Search Engine Marketing
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the placement of paid advertisements on the Internet through search engines and
directly with web pages. These ads can be text ads, banner ads or video ads that are found on either the search
engine sites or through their content partners. Unlike unpaid searches, search engine marketing allows you to reach
consumers in a relevant, accountable way that matter most to your business. You can target potential customers by
geography on a global or neighborhood basis, by specific words or ads, times of the day, web sites or content sites
and all within a prearranged budget.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEM considers the your Return on Investment (ROI) in placing paid
advertisements across the Internet, taking into consideration keywords, demographics, geography, languages, ad
messages, the time ads are show and the cost you are willing to pay for the lead or sale from the web.
A hidden value of search engine marketing is it provides insight to your customer habits beyond any analytics that a
natural search can provide. By mixing specific words and advertisements you can measure the response rate from
your customers, determining their trends.
It is important to do Search Engine Optimization before you place paid ads on search engines (SEM) as it helps
identify what keywords you want to market and will help increase your Quality Score for those words, ultimately
getting you higher position on paid ads for a lower price.

to you with some short training or you can have FireHive continue to manage and monitor your paid search program
for you. It is important to do periodic analysis on the program to look for marketing changes, lost opportunities and
wasted dollars. How often an analysis is done depends on your business and how dynamic the market and your
products are.
