I was just reading a report by BorrellAssociates.com on the huge numbers of businesses who advertise on Google and then quit. They call this the “Churn Rate” and the numbers are huge at 50%-60%.

Note that Internet Advertising is unlucky step #13! You got a lot to do BEFORE advertising on Google. see below...

These business owners do not see a high ROI because – their websites are poorly designed; their products and services are not better than their competitions’; they don’t communicate well using large font sizes (much less audio and video); they don’t use text, photo, audio and video testimonials well; they don’t pay attention to Social Media Optimization strategies; and they don’t have automated or effective CRM or sales systems. Most SEM companies don’t help businesses do any of these things well.

Many technology companies that sell individual services do not tell business owners, “Gee, the problem is You,” and give internet advertising a bad rap. I hear, “I hired this company to advertise online and we got a few clicks but no leads,” all the time. Well….duh!

“The Great Pay-per-Click Scam” is that Search Engine Marketers know all about their own Churn rates but still keep selling their services, instead of forcing every advertising to go through some kind of market research, strategic positioning, usability, copywriting, and sales training bootcamp!

I swear to never, ever run a Google Adwords campaign unless my clients have gone through the Step-by-Step process which (oddly enough) is the subject of my next book.

Now, if you really want to dominate your market, then you build these into a comprehensive plan following these 22 Steps.
