What is GeoTargeting?

GeoTargeting is used to keep you from paying for clicks that won't benefit you. GeoTargeting is a term used to describe localized search engine advertising. You select the areas that you want to advertise in and we set up the search engine advertisment to trigger only when the prospect searches from within that defined area or is specifically searching for your services in that area. The benefit is that you don't pay for clicks from outside your target area.

How many GeoTargets should I start out with?

We recommend 5 to 7 GeoTargets in your area to start with.

Suggestion: Do not select GeoTargets in areas that you do not work in.

How do you prevent Click Fraud?

Click Fraud is something that we take seriously and watch very closely for. We have multiple levels of protection. The first and most advanced Click Fraud protection available is provided by the search engines themselves. The second is our own system which checks for click fraud and records all click thru activity. If we discover fraudulant click thrus we will submit an official report to the Search Engine and replenish any credits to your account that were deducted as a result of fraudulant clicks. If at any time you feel there has been fraudulent activity on your account you may ask for a review by supply us with your server logs and we will investigate the matter.

Will I be charged for repeat visits?

Our own proprietary click-fraud protection software will filter any returning visitors and you will not be charged for that visitor - even if we are charged for the click by Google itself. When a user visits your site by performing a search and then clicks on your advertising we store information on that users computer using a technology called Cookies or we use their IP address to determine that they are a repeat visitor. You are not charged for repeat visitors. Because of the limitations of Internet tracking technologies we define repeat visitors as unique visitors searching and clicking on your advertising repeatedly within a certain period of time.

Also, you will not be charged in any way for direct visitors or visitors originatiing from clicks on organic listings.

What if there are already agents signed up in my area?

Not to worry. Our system is non-biased and in every area there are generally many advertisers like radio and TV. The amount of advertising that we sell in a given area is a function of the number of searches performed in that area and is proportional to the size of the market. If we determine that the area has become saturated, i.e. the maximum number of impressions and clicks has been met then we will stop selling ad space in that area.

Will I be notified when I receive a lead?

We are not a Third-Party lead generation company. We do not collect lead information from prospective clients. We send prospects directly from Google and our search partners to your personal website. Your website should have lead capture technology (most do) that will notify you in some way that a lead was collected. Contact your website provider to find out more about lead capture technologies that they provide.

Do you distribute the lead to multiple agents?

We are not a Third-Party lead generation company. We do not collect lead information from prospective clients. We send propsects directly from Google and our search partners to your personal website. We do not collect, nor do we have access to your website or the users actions after they are sent to your site.
