If a sold home is the ultimate destination in the long buyer journey people take when buying a home, landing pages are often the vehicle that starts the journey. A landing page is an independent page on your website, void of any navigation or links to social media, that is devoted solely to capturing leads. It should quickly and clearly get across who you are and what you have to offer.

Keep in mind that visitors coming to you from Google Adwords or any other media might be learning about your brand for the very first time. The copy, imagery, CTAs, and forms on these pages should be chosen to provide enough information about your homes to make the visitor want to know more.

Here’s a quick exercise for you: can you draw the McDonald’s logo from memory? How about Apple's or Adidas's? Maybe you wouldn’t nail every element, but you’d probably get pretty close, right?

Here at Neon, we've been experiencing the age-old digital marketing agency dilemma: lively client rosters and plenty of work to do means your own marketing gets placed on the back burner.

Every day, we utilize marketing strategies and tactics that very few other agencies use, and we even reinvent the wheel sometimes! We thought we would start documenting these approaches so others can learn from our internal thought-leadership.

Each one of our team members is a "guru" in his or her own right, so you will be hearing from all of us at times. Read on to see the topics we'll cover and the people you'll hear from!

Pop quiz: when was the last time someone changed your PPC ad copy? If it’s been more than a month there’s a good chance some of your ad campaigns are in trouble.

Neglecting your PPC ads is a costly mistake that can rob not only your campaigns of effectiveness, but your pocket book by paying too much per click over time. When this happens, you’ll start to lose some of the business you are currently generating with the help of these important campaigns.

There are several reasons for this:

So you’ve decided mobile PPC is right for your company and now you want to make sure your mobile PPC campaign is both effective and profitable. If so, optimization has just become absolutely vital to your PPC strategy.

This is because there often is no “second place” when it comes to mobile PPC ads. PPC ads shown on a desktop or laptop pc can generate leads when they are in the 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, and even 4^th place spots. But on mobile, customers really only see that first place ad where it shows up at the top of the screen, right before the

 organic search results. The second and third place ads are typically down at the bottom of the page, where customers are unlikely to ever see it.

If you’re going to be in this race at all, you have to be “in it to win it.”

You might not realize it, but Google AdWords is automatically set to display your PPC ads on mobile phones. For some companies, this will be a good thing. Other companies may well lose significant amounts of money to this default setting.

There is no doubt that mobile advertising is important, but all businesses will not benefit from all forms of mobile advertising at all times.

Blogging is great for SEO as well as for conversion optimization. Not only does it help get fresh content onto your website which Google loves, it also is an opportunity to share with your visitors what makes your business qualified or a bit of your personality or company culture. Yet so few companies take twenty to thirty minutes a week to blog. The main feedback (read excuse) I hear from clients is that they don't know what to write about. It's true, deciding what to blog every week can be a bit of a headache. With so many business owners falling ill to writers block, I have decided to try to provide a cure with this week’s treatment of 100 blog post ideas any business can take advantage of.

Hello and welcome to my new blog series, “Learning With The Intern”! My name is Tradd Salvo and I am the new Neon Ambition intern. I graduated from West Virginia University in 2014 with a major in advertising and I am currently in the graduate advertising program at the University of Texas. I am an advertising junkie and pretty obsessed with the Austin lifestyle, especially breakfast tacos.

Here at Neon Ambition we have been working tirelessly to bring our clients the best PPC service Austin has to offer. In August our hard work paid off in the form of establishing ourselves as a certified Google Partner. What does it mean to earn the Google Partner badge? Earning the badge shows that our online marketing agency is trusted and backed by Google to effectively and professionally manage Google AdWords campaigns.

Google AdWords is one of the quickest and most effective ways business owners can drive traffic to their websites and get a customer to take action. This action could be in the form of a phone call or email requesting further information or a quote, signing up to receive updates from the company or even completing a sale on an ecommerce site. The better your AdWords PPC campaign is setup and managed, the more likely your new visitors will turn into a conversion. In order to generate more conversions, your Google AdWords account needs to be built and optimized for success. Optimization is the process of improving your performance and reaching your goals without increasing your spend. At the most basic level, PPC management all starts with a well setup account and this post aims to explain a few key principles of doing just that.
