Search Engine Marketing (SEM) - Paid Search - Pay-per-click (PPC)

In lay man’s language, PPC translates to driving direct marketing campaigns over the internet through prominent search engines, such as, Google, Yahoo! and Bing. These search engines connect millions of people around the world and offer a full range of tools and search marketing solutions for businesses to connect with their customers and other stakeholders.

Pay-per-click advertising is a performance based advertising model where you essentially pay for a specific performance, usually clicks. INIT’s paid search strategy and copy are highly tailored and we can deliver you campaigns whose success is defined beyond mere impressions and clicks. What is more, we specialize in A/B split testing and Multivariate Analysis that ensures that we not only drive results but also know how to extract value for you from every cent of your media spend.


Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - Organic Search

Ever heard of blackhat or white hat? Know the difference between ‘Keywords’ and ‘Metatag Keywords’ or that between ‘Keyword Density’ and ‘Keyword Stuffing’? Well, an agency that truly understands SEO knows the difference. We do. So if your site is not visible enough, come to the experts. Slowly but surely we will get you visible in relevant search results ...and keep you there.
Natural search engine optimization is the very edifice of online marketing. At an average, more than three-quarters of search traffic originates from organic SEO results.

Research clearly demonstrates that if your website isn't found within the top 10 to 30 search results (the first three pages), no one will find it. And if they don't find it, they will find and spend money – with your competitor.
