West Kent Networking

Business Networking in West Kent - Events in Tunbridge Wells

Has anyone used Googles Adwords "Pay per click advertising". I was thinking of signing up for this one but I'm put off by not knowing how much to bid per click in order to beat my competitors. When Google maps first came out my listing was at the top for my location then I changed my business address (about 5 weeks ago) and now it's on a map that no one ever searches for, I change the address back now I'm not listed at all on the first page.
Are there any experts out there that can help? This networking site does not facilitate searching everyone by business type unless I'm not looking in the right place please put me right if I'm wrong. So I will have to wait to see if a Google expert contacts me.

Hi Guys I have just worked out how to search by business type so ignore my question on searching this website.
hi Jill, I have used google adwords and found it good. its easy to set up and use and its does give you good tracking and feedback on the number of hits you get on search terms etc so you can work out what keywords are working for you. as to budget, I think you would need a min of £70 upwards to have any impact. i'm not convinced by google maps - even with the most specific search words I still only get onto about page 2! the adwords website also has a keyword search tool which is useful. worth a try... hope this helps. Judith
Thanks Judith that was a great help.
Hi Jill,

Martin Long (a member on here) of Sugar Marketing is a bit of a pay per click (PPC) whizz, might be worth giving him a shout.

I think most people are currently finding Google maps a bit of a mystery...I have no idea what criteria it uses to govern rankings, but I seem to have slipped too!
Thanks Chris
