Miko [email protected] School of Business Saint Francis University Loretto, PA 15940 Abstract Search marketing is the process of utilizing search engines to drive traffic to a Web site through both paid and unpaid efforts. One potential paid component of a search marketing strategy is the use of a pay-per-click (PPC) advertising campaign in which advertisers pay search engine hosts only when their advertisement is clicked. This paper describes a class exercise utilizing the Google Online Marketing Challenge (GOMC) to teach search marketing and PPC concepts. The GOMC is a global collegiate competition in which student teams utilize a $250 budget provided by Google to design, implement, and monitor a PPC campaign for an actual small business client. This paper argues that the GOMC is an effective exercise to teach search marketing and PPC terminology, skills, and techniques and demonstrates many of the characteristics present in authentic learning environments.

With 60% also claiming to click on a search ad every week, digital marketers know that paid search advertising can be a powerful tool for brands to boost site visibility, generate leads, and get their business in front of those who are already searching for similar products and services. Unlike other forms of digital advertising, Google ads allows you to reach your target audience at the exact moment they are looking for a solution. The more relevant your ad is to their search query, the more likely they are to click, visit your website, and move down the sales funnel toward conversion.
