Digital Marketing Services We Provide:
Google PPC advertising

Pay-per-click or PPC advertising is a form of digital marketing where advertisers bid on keywords in Google to display their ads in prominent sections of search engine results pages (SERP). This allows companies to target their desired audience, drive traffic to their website, engage with potential customers and ultimately generate additional revenue.
PPC advertising operates on a pay-per-click model, meaning you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. This model ensures that advertisers only spend money on advertising if potential customers are actually interested in their products or services. PPC advertising is an effective tool for companies looking to promote their services and expand their business. As opposed to other forms of traditional advertising, PPC offers a measurable ROI, valuable insights into user behavior, and the ability to target specific demographics, geography, and interests at a controllable and relatively low cost.
How Much Does PPC Cost?
You’re going to have both initial costs and ongoing costs to drive an effective PPC campaign. To start, we’re going to need to establish your Google Ads account, with your company information and billing method. Next we will determine the best types of campaigns within the Google network to create, including Google P-Max campaigns, Search campaigns, retargeting, display network, 3rd party networks. Within these different types of campaigns there are several ad format types that we will evaluate for your business. These include Text ads, responsive ads, image ads, app promotion ads, video ads, shopping ads, and call-only ads. Depending on the scope of advertising we begin with, the setup costs range from $875 – $2,500, with most accounts averaging about $1,000 which includes the first month of management for advertisers spending up to $2,500 with Google.
After the first month, management fees are calculated as a percentage of add spend.

Digital Agency Work We Have Done in the Los Angeles Area Recently
The eCommerce Institute (ECI) helped FC Safety in Irvine Ca, one of the largest providers of AEDs to the defense department aerospace industry, build their custom website with contract pricing capabilities and custom user-specific login pages in addition to SEO optimization of their website, email administration, account systems integration and much more.
If you have kids that have grown up in Long Beach they may have been lucky enough to have spent some time at the Valter Pavia Tennis Academy at the Billie Jean Tennis Center. We completely rebuilt Valter’s website, adding the ability to book summer programs, tennis lessons and clinics and we SEO optimized the site to rank for the terms that helped his business bring in more tennis players from Long Beach and surrounding cities. Their camps for kids are the best around and we can’t wait to get our kids back in the next program!
In addition to the tennis academy the eCommerce Institute also helped with the Long Beach Parks and Rec website BJK and Eldorado operators when technical problems prevented the site from operating.
The eCommerce Institute works with Nostrum Inc, a Long Beach based marketing company responsible for a number of the city’s major events marketing and outreach programs, as well as local MD. Dr. Susan Sleep’s Mobile Skin Solutions business operating in Long Beach and surrounding beach cities.
For more than 5 years, we have worked with CM Safety Supply of Long Beach on their SEO, website redesign and PPC advertising. CM Safety Supply is the leading local provider of Hazmat products and has led the way to a number of high-profile coastal oil spill clean up efforts.
In addition, we have worked with numerous other clients including, construction companies, building products manufacturers, deck products suppliers, dry cleaners, plumbing companies, medical clinics, college admissions companies, tattoo studios, novelty product retailers, medical supply companies, respiratory equipment suppliers, dme companies, computer companies, micro breweries, packaging companies, school supply companies, special needs products resellers, and more.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of modifying a website or online content to increase its visibility and ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs). The primary objective of SEO is to attract targeted traffic to a website by boosting its ranking in organic search results. This is achieved by optimizing various elements of the website, such as the content, meta tags, URLs, internal links, and images, among others.
The main purpose of SEO is to make a website more accessible and relevant to users as well as search engines so that it ranks higher in search results. With good SEO practices, a website can gain a competitive edge over its rivals by appearing at the top of SERPs for relevant search queries. This results in increased traffic, better user engagement, brand visibility, and potentially higher conversion rates from visitors to customers.
How Much Does SEO Cost?
The cost of SEO varies greatly depending on several factors such as the size and complexity of the website, the industry, the level of competition, and the goals of the campaign. Small businesses with a simple website and low competition may pay as little as $500 per month for basic SEO services. For larger and more complex websites with high competition, the cost can easily surpass $10,000 per month. Some SEO agencies may offer hourly rates instead of monthly retainers, which can range from $75 to $300 per hour.
When considering the cost of SEO, it is important to remember that it is an investment, not an expense. A well-executed SEO campaign can produce significant returns on investment in the form of increased website traffic, higher search engine rankings, and more leads and sales. SEO work that goes into a website, like content creation, SEO landing page development, taxonomy development and other work lives on once its completed and continues helping to establish your website’s authority and potential to rank for important terms. In some cases, the ROI may be several times the cost of the campaign. Therefore, it is essential to choose an experienced and reputable SEO provider who offers customized solutions that align with your goals and budget.
PPC Landing Pages
If you are just starting your PPC advertising program or looking to improve on an existing program with an agency that is not delivering results, it is a good idea to do a website review and determine if your current website has the best “landing pages”. It is important that the pages on your website where customers ultimately land, offer enough content information and the right call-to-action in order to convert visitors to customers. In fact, Google will effectively score your ad campaigns which ultimately determines how much you pay for clicks when bidding on your targeted keywords. Fortunately, the eCommerce Institute can help add the necessary landing pages to your existing website if they are needed.
