Adwords works ($5 mill rev per year), but it's about what you put in the ad and where the prospect lands.
Put yourself in that person's seat.
Are they trying to track employee's time consumption?
Are they trying to increase employee productivity?
How fast do they need the service?
What is their intelligence level (will they click the big shiny blue button)?
What about their budget (did they search "cheap time tracking software" or "best time tracking software")?
Will they sign up using a boring form that does not seem to have something of value on the other side of it?
Take this all into consideration when choosing keywords (as well as negative keywords). Writing ad copy (which also should be "relevant" to your keyword) and designing the landing page.
I highly recommend A-B testing.
A GREAT example of this is: http://rushmypassport.com http://rushmypassport.com (search "expedited passports", look at the ad copy, plus organic placement, landing page with actions + trust inducing images, the click through to a form that seems like it's the SECOND step in a 3 step process and product specific info)
- webwright 18y agoGood points, all of 'em! Certainly it works (for both Google and the many people who advertise). But that doesn't mean it works for EVERYONE. I'm sure there are things you could sell/offer that adwords would be a total bust for. I was/am concerned about SaaS/SMB software like RescueTime underperforming compared to, say, lamps or Wiis.
- auston 18y agoI can't say if it will work for RescueTime, but it has clearly worked for Salesforce & Leads360. It also seems to work for Freshbooks, Netsuite, PBWiki & ConstantContact.
