How Do You
Advertise on Search Results Pages?
Then, the advertiser chooses the amount they are willing to pay to trigger their ads. When a user enters a search, advertisers enter into a real-time auction against other advertisers.
If the advertiser’s ad and landing page are relevant to the potential customer’s search and the bid is high enough, their ad is placed on the search engine results page. This allows for increased visibility, traffic, and conversion opportunities.
As suggested by its name, advertisers only pay when their ad is clicked. This provides much greater control over your digital advertising budget.

Improve
Paid Search Efforts With SEO
Paid search is a great way to place your website at the top of relevant search results pages. However, your online growth may be limited if your business is relying solely on paid campaigns instead of combining these efforts with organic search engine optimization (SEO).
Paid and organic optimization are interconnected elements of digital marketing: the success of one helps improve the performance of the other. SEO factors, such as landing page quality and user experience, can significantly impact your search ad performance. For example, a poorly written landing page can lower ad quality scores and result in your ads being shown less often in search results.
