Managed search marketing in Newark, OH

Digital Marketing in Newark

Defending your own county

The awkward fact about search in Licking County is that Columbus firms advertise into it. They bid on Newark terms, they run ads to people fifteen minutes from your door, and they do it with a bigger budget. A local business that does nothing loses enquiries it should win easily.

The defense is proximity made obvious. Local pages that name the towns, a Google Business Profile that is clearly in Newark, and reviews from people in the county. A searcher who can tell you are five minutes away and the advertiser is forty-five will usually choose you, but only if they can tell.

The second local factor is demand from construction activity in the county. There is real volume for trades right now, which means paid search can work here at prices that would be impossible in Columbus.

What we would look at first in Newark

• Which out-of-county firms are advertising on your terms, and what they are bidding on
• Whether the Google Business Profile makes your Newark location unmistakable
• Which nearby towns produce searches, and whether any page names them
• Where the current enquiries come from, counted rather than assumed
• What a call is currently costing you, if anything is being spent at all
