when everyone else loves you first

The best place to hide a dead body is the second page of the Google search. That is why it is our declared goal at Nine Elephants Marketing not only to keep your website alive, but that it appears in top shape and is therefore listed in the top positions in the search results. The processes to achieve this goal are very different and depend on a variety of factors, such as your product or your service, the technical implementation of your website, the passive and active marketing, the design, the content, the connection with social media channels, your target group, the market segment and much more.

The entire content of your own website is optimized in this step. On the one hand, these are content-related aspects such as structure, formatting, texts, headings or relevant keywords, and on the other hand, technical aspects such as header, page speed, your URL, a good programming (clean coding) and meta tags. An excellent responsive design that is needed for mobile devices is very important for the indexing and ranking on Google. In particular, if a user searches using a mobile device, your website will only appear in the top results if the display of your page has also been optimized for this. The longer users stay on your site, the better it is for the ranking, as Google then classifies your content as more attractive and worth reading. The type of your texts also plays a major role, as they should be exciting and well-written for the user, but also correspond to a search-engine-optimized writing style. The balance between the two disciplines leads to an optimal result and we at Nine Elephants Marketing would be happy to support you with our service in Content Writing.

Your ad will be displayed on the basis of an auction process in which you submit offers for specific keywords and search results. Whether and in which position you are displayed in the search results depends on the search term, your bid and the relevance of your website. Google’s fees are not charged for the display of the ad itself, but only when an action takes place, such as a click on it (cost-per-click, CPC). The playout of your ad can be restricted according to certain parameters, such as geographical targeting or according to the end devices of the users such as desktop or mobile (device targeting). Text ads as well as graphic ads in the form of display banners are possible. In the following graphic you can see 1. a graphic ad 2. a text ad and 3. an organic search result without payment. What kind of keywords you should bid on, the medium- and long-term marketing planning for this, as well as the definition of your budget, depend on many factors that need to be carefully analyzed. It is about its complex interaction with other aspects and advertising measures that have to be chosen carefully.
