In our experience as franchise marketers, Local Ad Fund dollars provide a solid foundation for paid search campaigns that drive consistent, high quality-low cost, leads. However many franchisees and local business owners could be doing more to support established corporate search marketing campaigns, ultimately capturing the maximum search interest for their services within their markets, driving increased local revenue.

A key finding of this research is that most companies have a great opportunity to improve their business performance by taking a more integrated approach to managing their digital media mix.

Location3 client Mountain Mike’s Pizza and their franchisees face significant competitive challenges when advertising on Google, which ultimately requires the need to be both incredibly efficient with campaign setup and incredibly precise when managing bids and local budgets. A quick Google keyword search for “pizza near me” in Mountain Mike’s home state of California yields over 58,000,000 results (“pizza delivery” yields 56,000,000) and often features a predictable set of ad results from industry giants like Domino’s and Pizza Hut, among others. Suffice it to say that buying “pizza”-related terms in AdWords can get incredibly expensive, incredibly quickly, if a local franchisee’s budgets and bids are not managed with precision. When you combine that fact with limited location-level advertising budgets, our team atLocation3 was presented with a significant challenge in helping Mountain Mike’s Pizza generate increases in customer pizza orders while simultaneously ensuring that ad spen

Now, the lines between paid, owned and earned media have been blurred, if not erased. Social media crosses the barrier between the three. It’s fast-paced and chaotic. We partnered with the research firm Sentient Services and surveyed more than 200 consumers about their attitudes, opinions and beliefs about brands and social media integration. The respondents come from all over the country, with all different incomes, lifestyles, and social media habits. Universally, the data supports what we’ve already seen in action: consumers want to engage with brands that integrate social media, and they prefer to do business with social brands.

One of the big challenges in search engine marketing is getting all of the volume you want from your campaign.  However, the available volume in paid search is sometimes limited, and prevents you from getting to where you want to in your campaign. In other words, people only search so much on keywords related to your campaign, and there is nothing you can do with your paid search campaign that can change that. Getting at as much (profitable) volume as you can is what it ends up being all about.

Many business-to-business (B2B) marketers fail at search without even knowing it.
