Why Advertise on Google AdWords

Today, 64% of shoppers click on Google AdWords Ads (or Bing Ads) when they wish to buy services, up from 20% in 2012. This medium is the “sweet spot” for reaching shoppers at the moment they want professional services. FRM helps you reach the right target audiences with highly customized funeral ads and campaigns. You can start getting calls almost immediately after going live with your ad campaign.

Basics & Surprises

AdWords is based on an auction system with several components. You “bid” the maximum “cost per click” amount you are willing to pay when a shopper clicks on your ad. There is no cost if your ads are not clicked on. However, the top-ranked ad can easily be charged a much lower “cost-per-click” than the ad below it, even though the lower ranked ad bid a higher “cost per click” amount. Why? To answer that we must first understand the role that an ad’s “Quality Score” plays in the auction system.

Ad Rank & Quality Score

Google uses a formula to determine your ad’s position on the page, known as “Ad Rank.” The formula combines several “Quality Score” factors with your max cost per click bid to determine your ad rank, like this:

Ad Rank and Bid Costs

So how can a higher ranked ad have a lower cost per click than the ads below it? Unlike traditional auctions where the highest bid wins, Google uses a “second price” auction system to determine the cost per click (CPC) when your ad is clicked on, like this:

Listen to Hal Varian, Google’s chief economist, explain how the AdWords auction works.

Why FRM Costs Less

In short, our ads have higher quality scores and therefore lower costs per click. We are a Google Adwords Certified Partner that only serves the deathcare industry (with all its idiosyncrasies). We build campaigns with our proprietary system, developed from careful research over years of experience. We have seen funeral homes spend thousands more per year with local providers or regional providers that had weaker ads, and/or achieved lower Quality Scores. With FRM-crafted ads you pay less, appear higher on the page and drive more shopper traffic.
