What is Search Engine Marketing (SEM)? Search engine marketing includes all the techniques, tools and strategies to help increase the visibility of a website or landing page in search engine results pages. Once, search engine marketing referred to organic SEO and paid ads. However, today, search engine marketing refers almost exclusively to paid search advertising and PPC advertising (Pay-Per-Click). A good SEM strategy will maximise paid media to deliver relevant content to the right consumers at the right time.

Our Expertise

Delivering a captivating ad to your target audience at exactly the right time has multiplied in complexity. Search engine marketing has evolved into a plethora of enhanced targeting options, including automated bidding, first-party and offline data integration, Google Shopping, and Pay-Per-Click (PPC) remarketing.

Failure to integrate these advancements into your ad campaigns means you’ll lose the opportunity to fully leverage what paid advertising offers.

That’s where Search Republic comes in. We leverage Google automation and expert knowledge to deliver targeted traffic that converts. We’ve partnered with some of New Zealand’s most well-known and loved brands, performing in-depth research, tracking, and targeting to improve every aspect of their paid search marketing strategy.

With adaptable and comprehensive expertise around how Google’s complicated algorithms are evolving and what it wants, we make every click count towards getting meaningful conversion rates that propel your business forward.

How we can help with your search engine marketing campaign

Tracking Setup and Smart Data Integration

Everything comes back to data. We need the right data to make the right decisions for your paid search advertising strategy. Search Republic will set up goals, track conversions, and pull first-party data from your CRM. Know where a purchase originated from to gain valuable data insights and make informed decisions around ad campaign performance for future optimisation.

Keyword Research

Behind any successful online advertising campaign is a thorough keyword research process. We compare and analyse keywords’ search volume and competitive density to better understand your audience’s search intent and provide them with relevant results. Search Republic has the tools and experience to find high-volume and long-tail keywords that match the search queries of your target market. This helps create paid listings that not only reflect the intentions of likely potential buyers but that will actually reach them in the first place.

Ad Copywriting

Part of any online marketing strategy includes techniques for attracting more visitors to your site or landing pages. And more visitors means a boost in your website’s rankings in organic search results. We write compelling ad copy that generates the right actions from potential customers and brings them on the conversion journey. Search Republic knows what makes a clickable ad, including integrating the right keywords, using the correct terminology, choosing purposeful extensions, and curating an engaging call-to-action.

Google Shopping

Consumers perform specific search queries to find information of a commercial nature. So if you’re selling something, Google Shopping and Smart Shopping is a channel that needs to be leveraged. Search Republic uses our search engine marketing expertise to set up and test all aspects of your shopping ads to ensure visibility and high performance, as well as continued search engine optimisation. We stay one step ahead, making sure your sponsored ads and organic listings align with Google’s latest advancements.

Targeting

We understand the value of your audience before they even click on an ad. Using Google’s bidding algorithms, we adjust the bids for individuals based on their previous activity in Google Search, Chrome, Android, and YT. We know their commercial intent – or what users are searching for – and if they have an affinity towards your offering. These extra layers of information enable Search Republic to provide significant search engine marketing improvements and help your marketing dollars go further.

Going Global

Search Republic’s teams are experts in bringing Kiwi products and services to the world. Born out of a pure-play e-commerce giant, we understand what needs to be done to take your business global. Whether you’ve decided to test a new market or you want us to manage your entire global digital marketing strategy, we provide campaign structure recommendations aimed at maximising your visibility in search engines.

Founder and CEO – Agreeable

Agreeable has gone through numerous iterations since their start-up beginnings in 2016. They sold one section of the business to an Australian company, partly due to a significant increase in Agreeable’s digital marketing success. CEO, founder, and QC Mike Heron claims this success didn’t come from word of mouth or by paying Google and Facebook – it came from Search Republic’s expertise.
