True Online Presence

True Online Presence

After launching True Online Presence in 2014, Andy released his first book Make Each Click Count – The T.O.P. Guide to Success Using Google AdWords and immediately earned quite a few clients.

In fact, soon True Online Presence was dealing with capacity issues of finite hours with increasing demands from new companies wishing to become private clients. We were in danger of transforming into just another large, impersonal S.E.M. agency.

Not to disparage large S.E.M. agencies, but they face an ongoing issue that was difficult to solve and that most of their clients don’t even realize they have.

The larger an agency becomes the more account executives they need to hire to optimize accounts for their clients. Quite often, the account executives they hire have little to no experience and most of the time they are lowered paid positions right out of either college or are international workers, typically from India.

These junior account executives are quickly trained and then asked to manage accounts cutting their teeth learning as they go using the client’s advertising dollars. The larger an agency becomes the more junior marketers they hire repeating this nasty cycle that typically leads to poor results for the customer.

Without experience, the best these junior marketers can provide is an adequate solution, and that is the best-case scenario. This was not good enough for what we wanted to do for our clients.

In addition, possibly even worse than turning over accounts (unbeknown to most clients) to a junior marketer with limited experience, is the fee structure that the majority of search engine marketing companies use to determine what they charge clients.

Typically, agencies will charge clients a percentage of how much they spend on online advertising. The going rate is between 15 and 20%. Therefore, junior marketers controlling accounts and the agency they work for are heavily incentivized to spend as much of the client’s money as possible regardless of actual results.

Neither are idea, but what are the other choices for e-commerce companies?

That was the issue that we struggled with when launching and operating True Online Presence.

We had to make True Online Presence different for our sake as well as for the sake of our customers.

Here is what we did:

One, we limited the number of private clients that we accept. This way, we can continue to work and provide constant oversight on all accounts.

Second, True Online Presence uses a flat fee per month pricing structure instead of charging based on a percentage of ad dollars spent.

Since 2014, we have used these two guiding principles to separate True Online Presence from the large search engine marketing agencies providing personal service and online growth for our private clients.
