Google Pay Per Click

By
Real Estate Agent with ReMax Realtec Group

The days of Pay per Click could be coming to an end.

We've read about Alpabets 'Deep Learning' programs and now it's coming to a store near you.

On Google you can now pay for a sale or a lead rather than paying for the click. It’s called ‘Cost per Action’ or CPA bidding and is quite simply one of the most extraordinary opportunities that online marketing  and lead generation offered to us.

With CPA bidding you tell Google the conversions you are aiming for, which is either a sale in Ecommerce or an enquiry or phone call for a normal site. With your Google code on your site, Google is able to measure those conversions. Once you’ve had about 30 conversions, Google learns the type of people who are going to convert using all the information it has on its users and with its artificial intelligence.

I won't spend time on this but it takes but a moment to understand how this technology CAN control a population. But, that's not our concern...ours is MAKING MONEY.

Would you pay:
1. $20 for a phone call
2. $50 for a phone call
3. $100 for a phone call
4. What a phone call worth to you?

Grant Schneider I think so too.
If I mail into a community of 1500 homes, with 3% mobility, $300K with 25 active and hustling agents, I expect 3 to 5 real calls within 2 weeks. When I realize what I am currently paying for the call Action, it makes bidding in CPA a lot easier.

This may make those who pay for leads have more effective use of their money.

And making money is exactly what Google is doing with this service. I prefer to use Mr. G for my own organic results which make my phone ring and drives business.

The answer to the question about the $ per call would depend on how solid those calls are. If the people who called were truly interested in buying/selling, then I'd pay more than if not. If they wound up to be drunk submitters then I wouldn't be willing to pay anything.

If the data could be tweaked to the point of knowing who was buying and who was talking then I would be on board. Otherwise, it is just another way to remove money from my bottom line.

Great, instead of paying for PPC  ghost click, now we can pay more for CPA ghost clicks... Hopefully there will be a real person on the other end without a Mask number - LOL
