Does Google Ads work for every business and do you offer guarantees it will work for me?

How long does it take to get results from Google Ads or SEO?

The timeline for seeing results from Google Ads or SEO varies, as it depends on several factors such as the competitive landscape, the current state of your online presence, and the specific objectives of your campaign.With Google Ads, you may begin to see results relatively quickly, often within days of launching your campaign. This is because Google Ads are designed to start driving traffic to your site as soon as your ads go live. However, optimising these campaigns for maximum effectiveness can take some time, often a few weeks to a few months. As a general rule of thumb, you should give Google Ads at LEAST 3 months before making a determination as to whether or not it will work for you.SEO, on the other hand, typically requires a longer timeframe before significant results are observed. This is because SEO involves building your website's authority and improving rankings organically, which takes time. Usually, you can expect to start seeing noticeable improvements in 3 to 6 months, but for more competitive keywords, it may take longer.At DPOM, we focus on creating a solid foundation with ongoing optimisation to ensure sustainable long-term results. While immediate wins are possible, especially with Google Ads, our goal is to achieve consistent and growing success over time.

AOL sign 10-year deal with Microsoft to use Bing Ads & listings

Google has lost its deal with AOL that it has held since 2002 but in the same breath AOL only controls around 1% of search traffic in the US.

When Google first signed their deal with AOL they were still an up and coming company and it was a huge achievement. They managed to renew the deal until now – the latest renewal being in 2010.

Google currently controls around 65% of search traffic in the US – 65 times more than AOL – so it remains to be seen whether Google will even feel the burn from the deal.

That being said it is still a great win for Bing as they passed 20% search traffic control and with AOL added to this they continue to creep forward.

The deal will commence on the 1^st January 2016 and it is quite intriguing to see how this plays out.
