Editor's Notes
Why PPC and not SEM – time to go on the record SEO has costs!! Hammer that in Direct Response > if you’re looking branding, look to Display or WOM Simply looking to get to equilibrium faster
PPC thrives on active participation
WHY the dropoff? As search engines have become better at delivering relevant results to their users, there’s a growing expectation of this kind of efficacy, which is driving more and more searchers to take one quick glance at the search results, and if they don’t find what they want, they reformulate their queries.

ANIMATION Explain Ecommerce vs. other types of conversions
Stat – long tail search queries convert higher CONTROVERSIAL – remind them that resource outlay is a cost!!
ANIMATION Why is Bear Watching the most profitable? Lack of competition, …
Very resource intensive Remind people that new content development = most important part of ongoing SEO
ANIMATION
If a particular region of the country is performing well, that may be cause to author new content specifically aimed at that target Cost data: certain keywords may convert infrequently, but come at a low enough cost that its still better to pursue them in paid search, rather than organic Competitive insight: often the elite competitors advertise in paid search, while in organic channel you compete for rankings with your industry competitors but also publishers & bloggers, directories, event listings, and lot of other content. Ad position will give you some insight into how strong you compete within that top tier Ad position can lend insight into the top tier of competition, Semantic relevance; if a keyword has strong ROI on Broad Match, that suggests that there are a variety of contexts in which it can be used
