Written by Joe Balestrino


Pay Per Call isrepparttar next wave of advertising onrepparttar 139386 Internet. Similar to a Pay – Per –Click advertising. Pay Per Call has a lot more to offer and a wider audience in mind. The Pay-Per Call (PP-Call) is geared towards small businesses that do not have a web presence onrepparttar 139387 internet. However, this form of advertising can be used by all types of business or services offered onrepparttar 139388 net.

Advertisers create an ad similar to a Pay-Per-Click (PP-Click) ad. Advertisers choose key terms in which they would like to appear under. They also choose their geographical location (local, regional or national) Pricing starts at $2 and can exceed $20. The ad itself consists of a headline and 2 additional lines of text, (including a URL ifrepparttar 139389 company has one). Surfers then callrepparttar 139390 toll free number shown inrepparttar 139391 ad. Afterrepparttar 139392 surfer callsrepparttar 139393 number,repparttar 139394 call is forwarded torepparttar 139395 actual business phone. Seems pretty basic doesn’t it? But, I had a few questions I needed answered so I contacted Ingenio and spoke to them about their service.

My first question regarded calls placed after business hours. If my business phones are manned Monday – Friday, 9 to 5, will calls still come in after 5pm on Friday? The answer is that currently there is no automated scheduling that will turn your ads on or off at a specified time. However, you can go in manually and pause your account so that your ads are not shown during non-business hours. The automated scheduling is inrepparttar 139396 process of being implemented but there is currently no set date for this to take effect. Of course, you can place your business hours inrepparttar 139397 ad as well but this may take up valuable space that could be better utilized describing products or services. Businesses that have a call center for after hours calls are effectively 24 hour businesses, so this should not be an issue for them.
