SEA: what it is and how it works

The success or failure of a Paid Advertising is often determined by the choice of the strategic partner. Choosing Kotuko for the management of your pay per click campaigns means relying on a Premier Partner Google agency, certification issued by the most important search engine, recognized by just 3% of Italian agencies.
With the experience gained from 2010 to today, our SEM (Search Engine Marketing) team is able to make the most of every single pay per click channel in order to guarantee a tangible return on investment, achieving the planned marketing objectives, thanks to a consolidated working method that includes two macro phases:
- Preliminary activity: provides an initial brief aimed at gathering the information necessary to identify the buyer personas, the marketing needs and the strengths that distinguish the product or service to be sponsored; a market analysis is then carried out on competitors in order to select the right paid advertising platforms aimed at achieving the main KPIs (key performance indicators) and the desired ROAS (return of advertising spent).
- Operational activity: in this second phase, an optimization of the site or landing that will be sponsored is carried out in order to convey the right message to the end user and lead him to conversion (sales, leads, contacts, etc.); subsequently, the editorial plan is created containing keywords, ads and creatives that will be sponsored online. Throughout the duration of the activity, campaign data is analyzed using monitoring platforms such as Google Analytics and Hotjar, as well as setting up A / B testing to compare performance and further optimize it.
