Reach 90% of all Internet users through Google's advertising network

Google is an integral part of our daily lives, and advertising through its vast online network, including search, YouTube, Google Shopping, Maps, Gmail, Display and Discover, is a great way to reach users primed to convert. The numbers tell half the story:

1/2

of all Google users click on text ads.

1/2

of all Google users rely on Google to discover new products and services.

1/2

of all online shoppers research products on Google before purchasing.

Fast-track your business to the top of Google searchNearly 5.5 billion Google searches occur daily, and paid search ads are often the quickest way to occupy the top spot on those results pages.

SEM is a great way to leapfrog the long journey to organic rankings through SEO, but you’ll still compete against other paid search campaigns for the most effective bid strategy and the best available audience. The experts at Pure SEO will put your campaigns in a better position to increase your revenue.

With Google Shopping, a whole new revenue stream

Google Shopping is like creating a second storefront for your business, increasing exposure with a targeted audience ready to buy now.

Google Shopping creates thumbnails of your product image and price as search results on Google’s Marketplace, a large, highly visible online catalogue. Shopping Ads are an effective way to acquire new shoppers and expand your user base, creating an entirely new revenue stream for your online store. You even have the option to target only new customers!

Pure SEO can help your business capitalise on this lucrative opportunity and claim your share of a channel that accounts for over three-quarters of all retail search ad spend. Get started with us today to make Google Shopping an integral part of your successful eCommerce strategy

What is SEM?

Search Engine Marketing, or SEM, is the process of buying traffic through paid advertising like Google Ads. Sometimes referred to as PPC or Pay per Click, SEM can include Bing, YouTube, Google Shopping, Google Maps, Gmail, Display, and more. A holistic strategy to capitalise on these channels can help you quickly grab your audience’s attention. SEM is now among the most powerful and practical marketing methods available to businesses.

Discover the benefits of search engine marketing

Highly targeted to your ideal leads

Focus your marketing budget on search engine users who fit your target audience. Optimise your campaigns and improve performance as you learn more about the people most likely to engage with your business.

Reach leads with high intent

People who query search engines are looking for products or services, making them more promising leads than passive consumers elsewhere. With search engine marketing, your leads are coming to you.

Easily manage your costs

Set daily and campaign budgets to keep your marketing costs under control. Enjoy high visibility into where your money goes with precise and measurable success tracking, so you can ensure you’re getting the most for your budget.

Enjoy the benefits immediately

With paid search campaigns, you can start seeing real results the day your ads go live, offering you a more immediate return on investment.

Exceptional visibility into campaign performance

With SEM campaigns, we can see what’s working and what isn’t. With our vast knowledge and experience, we can also see why. Adjust and optimise your campaigns to improve results over time and respond in real-time to changes in the market.

Track both online and offline conversions

Not everything happens on search engines. Some people do their research online before making their purchase in-store. With a smart omnichannel marketing strategy, you can optimise your ads for offline actions such as store visits. Measure the impact of your online advertising on your overall marketing and conversions.

Check out our recent client SEM wins

A proudly Kiwi SEM agency you can trust

Pure SEO can manage all your search engine marketing, creating relevant and engaging ads and combining them with our technology and expertise in PPC bidding measurement and optimisation. All our clients enjoy full access to their Google Ads accounts, meaning we partner with you in a totally transparent way.

Enjoy Full Access to Your Accounts

Never trust an SEM agency that doesn’t give you full access to your own Ads accounts from the outset. It’s your campaign, after all; your bottom line is on the line. You should have full control over your account, even if an agency is helping you manage it. Any agency that won’t grant you full access is making it difficult for you to leave, because they don’t back themselves to deliver results that will make you want to stay.

At Pure SEO, we have nothing to hide. You’ll enjoy 24/7 access to your accounts, with full visibility over your campaigns and expenses. You also own your payment profiles, giving you full control over your money. We’re confident that we’ll deliver results that will keep you coming back, but should you decide to leave us, for whatever reason, you’ll be able to take your campaigns with you. No questions asked. No fuss.

For us, it’s all part of doing digital the right way.

Our management fees aren’t tied to your media spend

Unlike other agencies, we don’t base our SEM management fees on your campaign budgets. Agencies who do this have an incentive to grow their own revenues by increasing your media spend. With Pure SEO, our only incentive is your performance—not budget.

Even Google knows we’re one of the best

Pure SEO ranks among the top 3% of SEM agencies in New Zealand as chosen by Google, which based its assessment on delivering client growth and internal qualifications and training.

Locally owned, with our head office here in Auckland, we’re generating leads and driving sales for businesses throughout New Zealand and beyond. Our award-winning Google Premier Partner team has a lot to show for our efforts, but more importantly, so do our clients.
