How it works

This fully managed service places your advert in the highly targeted Sponsored Links section on the right hand side and the top of the Google™ search results page. When people search on Google™, your advert will be shown to them if they have searched using the keywords linked to your advert.

This means you are seen by highly targeted audiences who have searched for businesses like yours. When your advert appears people can click on the advert to be connected to a professional-looking web page, created and hosted by Yell - or to your website.

"We would recommend Yell's Search Marketing Service. So far we have received over 100 clicks to our webpage through our Google Adwords campaign and received approximately 60 telephone enquiries, which is a very pleasing result."

Desdemona Ribana Cristescu, Touch of Beauty, Hertfordshire.

google-adwords-premier-sme-partner

Award-winning expertise

Yell is the Winner of Google's 2011 EMEA Premier SME Partners award for the largest increase in active advertiser base amongst established partners. Yell is 1 of only 6 Google Adwords Premier SME Partners in the UK, which means you’ll get professional AdWords management, combined with excellent customer service. 

Copywriting

We'll write your ad text. We make sure that the text in your ad has a clear message to encourage users to click on it – helping lead to more sales. We also make sure it includes relevant keywords.

Keywords

This is how your ad gets found. Google use keywords to decide whether a user gets to see an ad, based on what they are searching for. Choosing the right keywords ensures an ad is shown to the right people. We carefully research the best keywords for your business. We actively manage them, so you are seen by people searching for a business like yours.

Local marketing expertise

Local marketing expertise

Yell has loads of experience helping businesses generate leads from business's local areas. Targeting customers in your local area is what we’ve been doing for over 40 years. With all this experience of bringing local businesses and customers together, no one knows more about the local marketplace than Yell. By only targeting areas local to your business, we increase your chance of getting leads, whilst reducing your costs.

Landing Page

When users click on your ad they are taken to a professionally designed landing page, created and hosted by Yell. The content clearly links to your Google™ Ad, reinforcing your advert messages. Your contact details are also clearly visible. This all increases the likelihood of a user calling or making a purchase.

Performance tracking

Our reports track clicks and phone calls so you can see the effectiveness of your campaign.

Budget control

Budget control

You set your budget. We manage your campaign to get the best return on your investment. Our flexible contracts, combined with flexible monthly pricing, means you can choose how many leads you can handle and how much you want to spend. With Yell’s Search Marketing Service, the budget you set is only spent when people click on the advert and view your business information.

Fully managed service

We know what people click on, we have professional designers and copywriters, to generate the best possible results, all so you don't have to. Researching and selecting the right keywords takes time and expertise. Creating a suitable landing page for your ad requires time and specialist skills. And copywriting messages which drive leads is also a skillful, time-consuming job. Your Campaign going live is only the beginning. We continue to work on your campaign to ensure your keywords and ad content are working as hard as possible for you. And we report back the results, so you can always see how hard we're working for you, with what results. We do all this so you don't have to, so you can focus on running your business, not your advertising.

"Our advert has been running for around 3-4 months we've received 160 clicks and 39 calls as a direct result, which is proof that our Search Marketing Service advert really is working."

Tony Randall, Randall Refrigeration Services, Southampton.
