I found out about PPC through a company
that was selling us leads. I found out that they were getting
the leads from PPC and I decided to try it out. We were
advertising fairly aggressively and many companies called
us offering SEO and PPC services. Finally, we ended up going
with one who convinced us to give them $8500 up front. It
was a disaster and the project failed miserably.
I found eBrandz when I decided that we needed a proven
company, one that was already in the position that we wanted
to be in. During my research I came across www.ccavenue.com.
They had the excellent ranking that we desired and when
I scrolled to the bottom of their page it had a link to
eBrandz. I clicked on it and began the process of hiring
them.
eBrandz has used a very thorough approach to PPC management.
eBrandz have used all the feed back we had given them about
the lead quality, as well as doing their own research to
bring our cost per sale down from well over $200 per sale
to less than $100 per sale. Obviously, this has saved us
a significant amount of money as well as the time we were
spending on poor leads.
Keyword research is a constant battle and we are trying
to increase the quantity of good leads that we receive with
out significantly increasing our cost per sale. eBrandz
has been persistently trying new titles and descriptions
on terms that we think should convert well but are not converting.
I see us being much better at this each month and perhaps
doubling our budget in time. The key is to keep the cost
per conversion at a level we can live with. I liked the
way eBrandz has aggressively eliminated costly irrelevant
terms and saved us money.
I get weekly and monthly reports that are very easy to
read and follow. There is definitely a trust issue for me
working with an Indian company. However, eBrandz did not
want a big chunk of money up front, only one months deposit
to get started. I figured I could risk one month if they
were not legitimate. Our traffic dropped off at first because
we were eliminating a lot of costly bad terms. But it started
to increase once we were able to concentrate on increasing
quality traffic. We have dropped our cost per sale significantly
and I think we will increase the number of quality leads
in the next several months.
eBrandz does quality work at a fraction of the cost of
other U.S. providers and we would definitely recommend their
services!
