Q) What reports do I see?
A) We know that it is important for our clients to be able to monitor their campaigns closely so we send out detailed traffic / keyword reports either on a daily, weekly, monthly or whenever you request them. These reports show the ads that were generating traffic, the keyword phrases which generated the clicks, the number of times your adverts have been displayed and also the average ranking of the adverts and keywords. You can use these reports to analyse which keywords generate sales to refine campaigns and make them as targeted as possible.
Q) Can I advertise locally?

Google Maps and Google Local business listings are two ways and also via the AdWords / PPC advertising program where you can set a geographic targeted campaign. You tell Google where you want your ads to appear using post codes, place names, points on a map etc, and then google only displays ads to people searching within those locations.
