Introduce your brand, business, product or service to your target audience with digital advertising

You have an audience that wants the product or service you’re offering. Paid traffic allows you to put the message that you have that product or service in front of the people that are most likely to become paying customers. Search engine and social media advertising gives you the power to drill down and start talking to the people that are looking for what your company offers. Online advertising gives you the ability to scale and grow your business by finding new audiences to speak to, putting the right message in front of them, and helping them become customers. Acquiring new leads and potential customers is the lifeblood of growing your business online. If you’re not actively bringing in new leads that have the potential to become new customers, your business cannot grow. Our team of certified advertising specialists will create a unique strategy and implement a paid traffic system that consists of multiple advertising campaigns that work together to acquire new leads and sales for your business. But we’re not just advertising to the top of the funnel. Using a series of well crafted ads and offers, we’ll transform ice cold prospects into loyal customers that promote your business to new audiences for you. Our paid traffic advertising system moves your target audience from having no idea who you are or what you do to becoming a buyer, repeat buyer, and loyal advocate.

The most common pitfall of businesses that invest in paid digital advertising is that they think if they outbid their competition, they’ll automatically beat them for those valuable potential leads.

But it’s not that simple. Just because you’re spending more than competitors doesn’t mean you’ll win. Our team of certified advertising professionals applies tactical execution plans to increase conversion rates and get more leads and customers into your inbound marketing funnel at the cost that maximizes your return-on-investment (ROI). We develop campaigns with the goal to make your money work for you to its maximum revenue-generating potential.

GOOGLE ADWORDS

We will leverage Google AdWords, pay per click search engine marketing, YouTube advertising, Google’s Display Network, and retargeting to help your business get the phones ringing, acquire more website traffic, and increase your sales!

Google is the #1 search engine with a market share of over 70%, and they do an amazing job of amassing a display network of other websites to display their inventory of sponsored ads. Next time you’re reading the Globe & Mail or New York Times online, notice the ads displayed throughout the site – those are Google’s sponsored ads and they provide advertisers with yet another way to reach their prospects on other relevant places on the web. This reach is second to none, and allows you to pursue potential leads throughout their online experience so your brand stays at the top of their mind – even when they aren’t on your site.

Pay per click

Pay per click (search engine) marketing

Our goal as a pay per click search marketing company is to help businesses drive exceptional results by leveraging the power of search. We aim to use pay per click advertising to help businesses optimize their search engine marketing effectiveness and acquire more customers at a significantly lower cost. First page exposure on a search engine as powerful as Google will lead to an immediate increase in high-quality traffic to your site. Whether your site is receiving consistent traffic or is relatively new and unknown, a Google AdWords search advertising campaign will give your site and products exposure to a highly interested audience that is searching for the products and solutions your business offers.

Parts-Online-Advertising-Screen

As you likely already know from using Google yourself, search results are all about relevance. When someone searches for something on Google, their algorithm produces only the most relevant results based on what they search for. Google’s sponsored ads, like the organic results, are weighted heavily on relevancy – from the targeted keywords to the ad text to the landing page. This ensures that the user has the best possible experience, and that qualified advertisers receive refined, qualified traffic. Our AdWords Certified team of pay per click search marketing specialists manage and optimize each PPC campaign to ensure your ad spend is being stretched as far as possible, and that each campaign is setup to take full advantage of various features for bid adjustment, CPAminimization, and targeting refinement. Google-Advertising-Screen-1024x684With paid advertising on Google, the ads that are displayed in the sponsored results can be changed, edited, tested, optimized, and tracked for maximum effectiveness. This allows us to test and know exactly which combination of ad text and keywords is working the best for your offer. Advertising on Google also allows us to control how much traffic is coming to the site so that traffic is tied directly to how much you’re able to pay per click, per day, and per month. Businesses able to allocate a steady budget over a long-term period will get the most out of pay per click advertising. It’s important to understand that pay per click prices can change over time based on the importance of a keyword or the level of competition to reach a certain audience.

Facebook and Instagram Advertising

Facebook advertising is the cornerstone of every social media marketing strategy we execute at Social Lite. With more than 1.86 billion monthly users , Facebook is the largest paid social media advertising platform with the largest available market to target. Facebook’s advertising platform is leading the industry because of their elaborate targeting options and huge network to put ads in front of, as well as their commitment to creating the best advertising technology on the market.Surfing-Facebook-Edmonton-Social-Lite-e1494972262249

Facebook allows qualified advertisers to utilize strategic campaign objectives to optimize ads for conversions, link clicks, engagement, video views, and more based on segments of your target audience that have performed that desired objective in the past. This allows you to put ads in front of the most qualified audience that are most likely to perform your desired action, whether it’s to capture a lead or make a purchase, click the link, like the post, or watch the video. Facebook also allows you to create lookalike audiences consisting of people with similar demographics to users that have already visited your site and shown an interest in your company. These features further separate Facebook as the premier social media advertising platform, allowing advertisers to maximize ROAS as it continues to innovate and develop new marketing tools.

Instagram Advertising

LINKEDIN ADVERTISING

LinkedIn-Advertising-Edmonton-Alberta-Social-Lite

LinkedIn is the network to advertise on if you’re a B2B business looking to attract high quality leads that are looking for business solutions directly on the social network. However, because of LinkedIn’s highly focussed targeting options, it usually drives fewer, but much higher quality leads at a higher price point. If you’re looking to reach a wide audience with a product or offer, LinkedIn advertising may not be the right choice for you. But if you’re looking to target professionals in a specific industry with a higher value offer and can afford the higher price point for higher quality leads, LinkedIn could be a key component of your social media marketing strategy.

TWITTER ADVERTISING

Twitter-Advertising-Edmonton-Alberta-Social-Lite-300x200Twitter has a very diverse audience that can reach nearly any market, so if you’re looking for ways to scale a successful campaign to new audiences, Twitter can be an efficient and cost-effective platform to advertise on.

If Twitter is a valuable component of your social media marketing strategy, Twitter ads are an effective way to target potential customers based on people and businesses they follow, hashtags they use and interact with, and interests. With competitively priced targeting options designed to compete with Facebook, Twitter advertising can be an excellent platform to help scale your audience or offer.

Online Retargeting Ads

Our team of certified advertising professionals will help you re-engage users that have already visited your site by developing a strategy that will pursue them throughout their online journey to keep your brand and offer top of mind.

 

Retargeting-Ads-Edmonton-Alberta-Social-Lite-e1494973685810

As soon as a unique visitor lands on your website, you have the potential to capture their information and show them online advertisements in the future based on what they viewed on your site. This is the process of retargeting an audience that’s already familiar with your brand and website, and therefore substantially more likely to redeem your offer or buy your products than someone that doesn’t know your business. Retargeting people that clicked on a previous ad and didn’t take the desired action on the page (redeem an offer, buy a product, etc) is like picking low hanging fruit. The number 1 reason people don’t take action upon first time viewing a page is timing. Try it again and your odds for success multiply automatically! Retargeting audiences are also substantially cheaper to reach, resulting in a much higher potential ROAS [anchor link to definitions] compared to advertising to new audiences that aren’t familiar with your brand.

Remarketing on Google

Whether you’re looking to drive sales, increase conversions, or promote awareness of your brand, remarketing on Google can drive substantial ROAS for businesses across any industry. You’re able to target people when they’re most likely to buy, when they’re searching for your product, visiting other related websites, and using other mobile apps. Google AdWords remarketing provides timely touch points to drive potential leads to your website when they’re the most engaged. Using Google to remarket to this highly qualified audience leads to more efficient pricing for high-performing campaigns that can be optimized with automated bidding strategies like target CPA and ROAS.

Retargeting on Facebook

Facebook’s powerful pixel allows you to track people who arrived on your site regardless of the channel they came in on and retarget them with relevant content based on how they used your site. You’ve probably recognized products that you’ve previously viewed on external sites show up on your Facebook news feed at some point in the past. This is a result of Facebook’s refined retargeting advertising capacity. This allows you to proactively pursue those users that have seen your products or services before, but didn’t take the desired action (redeem an offer, buy a product, subscribe to a newsletter, etc). We will create a specific custom audience for people that have abandoned your landing page, while excluding anyone that made it to your “thank you” page as an effective strategy to boost conversions. This technique can be used for any product or service across any market.
