Search Engine Marketing

What good is having a web site if nobody can find it?

Search marketing can be the most cost effective marketing a company can do. The Internet has replaced the Yellow Pages as the search method of choice for most Americans. When someone wants to find a business, product, or service they go online to a search engine.

Our marketing services partnership with Google means that we are prepared to work with all advertisers no matter the size -- you don't have to have a huge budget to take advantage of Pay-Per-Click marketing, some of our customers have gotten more business than they could handle for less than $30 a day. Put the Power of MDI and Google behind your search engine marketing strategy. Don't hesitate, this could be the best decision you ever made.

Search marketing has many advantages over traditional marketing, such as:

• budget flexibility -- redefine, change or pause your campaign anytime you want without a long term commitment
• pay for clicks to your web site and set the price you are willing to pay for a click
• run concurrent campaigns with different budgets and goals
• pay for your ads to be seen by a set number of viewers on web sites and set the price you are willing to pay for the views
• regional targeting down to the city or ZIP code, or even exclude cities that you don't want
• crono-targeting -- run your campaign only during the best time of day, week, month or year
• track sales and conversions to constantly improve your marketing ROI
• stop, start, pause or cancel at any time! (like when you have too many leads

Who is your biggest fan?

The power of "word-of-mouth" has long been the driving force behind many small businesses. Today, word-of-mouth is spread online through tools such as Facebook.

All web sites we create are designed to be integrated directly with Facebook so your potential "Fans" can read updates from your Facebook business page directly from your website. We also offer marketing consultations designed to train our customers on how to use Facebook to gain maximum effectiveness including Facebook Ads Placement, Facebook Page Setup and visitor growth.

With Facebook your business can:

• Use the power of social networking to expand your potential business leads.
• Update your customers on current business specials, deals or whatever happens to be on your mind.
• Target advertisements to a very granular market including Age, Sex, Geography and Language
• Grow your business through the online "word-of-mouth" and leverage friends and business partners to spread your message.
