For small business companies, online marketing is the easiest way to generate business leads. The search engines are the single biggest source of sales. This article deals with new approach which will be able to leave several perplexed: BRANDING by the search engines. Thus let us leave to side the visitors targeted, the sales and the return on investment (KING) to concentrate on the influence which the search engines have on the mark.

When we look at the figures (353 million research per day to the States-Unis1), there is not any doubt that this place is favourable to influence Net surfers. Nevertheless, it is not enough to be present in the engines to succeed. It is necessary, indeed, to define the new objectives of your countryside (in this case the branding) and thus to work it over again to come to good results.

Concretely, that means not to evaluate one countryside by the direct results more only. If your objective is to generate sales and that you notice that a key word offers performances mitigated for this purpose, you could be tempted to withdraw this key word of your strategy. On the other hand, even if the KING of a key word is weak, it may be that its positioning in the first results has a positive influence on the mark and that it is beneficial to maintain this key word active.

As example, LG decided to lately use 20% of its budget on the internet research at the start of their marketing campaign for portable LED monitors. The objective was to create a buzz around the product. All the campaigns pointed towards only one and single page which misait on the product, but which did not comprise a real call to the action to support the conversion of the visitors. The antithesis of the pages of references (landing pages) traditional.

The results speak about themselves. In spite of less low investments five times in the countryside on the search engines in comparison to the banners and other postings, the countryside on the search engines generated more half of the clicks towards the page of reference and 88% of the sales of products starting from this page2. The strategy thus was of most effective.

In order to integrate the search engines in a strategy of BRANDING, it is first of all necessary to evaluate your countryside and to define the key words which could be associated there. The number of key words will be undoubtedly larger than at the time of a campaign aiming at conversion, in particular since words which are not profitable will be used. For example, a company carrying out a campaign on the quality of its service could decide to buy words like guarantee or repair.

For the level of textual publicity in oneself, it is necessary to use words hookers which are directly dependent with the countryside. The re-use of slogan and words used in the banners or a traditional campaign is also of setting.

While finishing, it is important to recall that such a strategy is not addressed to all the wallets. Indeed, a use of a number of important key words increase the costs appreciably.
