The problem with Google Adwords is that it is a much more sophisticated program to understand and use correctly than Google leads you to believe.
You can spend a lot of money very fast – and see absolutely ZERO as far as results. Actually, this is what happens for most people.
Google Adwords can work and deliver a solid ROI. There’s just a lot more to setting it up properly than than you might think. Once set-up, it also requires continuous monitoring.
If you’re going to use Google Adwords either hire a consultant, a coach, or take the time to learn how it works. If you go the DIY route expect to spend between 15-40 hours to learn how it works. If you’re going to DIY I’d recommend taking at least their Adwords Fundamentals and Search Advertising certification program.
Also, if you are going to use Google Adwords start with a small budget, probably between $200-500/month.
Don’t just put up your credit card and hope you get good results because it’s Google – that’s a losing strategy.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your current website doesn’t currently do a good job of converting visitor traffic into INQUIRIES you might want to reconsider ANY PAID ADVERTISING until you fix the conversion problem you have your website.
