media junction® worked with the Lessard Team, A team of Real Estate Agents with Edina Realty White Bear Lake Office. Will Lessard a full time Realtor wanted a "more modern look" that had a comfortable, down to earth feel. We rebranded the logo, and created print collateral materials that included a spot UV.

This has been a big move for us, prior to we were located in Centerville, Minnesota, which offered us very little visability compared to this area of St. Paul.

In this day and economy, it is easy to want to do as much as possible in-house to avoid overhead and exterraneous costs... but in regard to Google Adwords, should you? Today we explore both options and suggest lines of thought for both. PPC is a simple concept, but quite truly far more complex in execution.

What you will find here: Why you would want to frequently update your business website, the value differences between Outsourcing and Doing It Yourself, and what you will need for both.

The first question we are often asked is "How much does a professional website cost?" Right out of the gate we will tell you right now; professional sites start at $1,500 and go up from there. Beware of the $299.00 or $599.00 deals from the big huge companies and forget the out of the country deals if you are serious about your website doing much for your business.

November 3, 2011, Google announced that it is accelerating its Web search index to deliver fresher results for recent or recurring events, and even more for updates that require more immediacy. This means that search results will now have a possibility of being minutes old, versus hours... and a focus on getting relevant information to the top of the cue is still the focus.

So you are starting a new PPC campaign. Where do you start? What do you have to know? There is an old saying,”Start with the end in mind...”, meaning that you should know what your goal is before you start.
