SEO is a long-term project. It satisfies the driving traffic portion of the Market Hacking puzzle by earning new traffic from the search engines. Although SEO is not considered a short-term hack, you can start to see positive results within 4-8 weeks. Unfortunately, a large percentage of your new visitors will not call, give you their email or share your information in social media. So, what can you do after your visitor leaves?

The answer is remarketing, also called retargeting. Remarketing is an excellent option to combine with your SEO campaign because it give you the opportunity to continue sharing messages or offers with your visitors after they leave your website. You know remarketing ads, they are the ads that follow you around the Internet. The good thing about remarketing ads is the relevance to the viewer. Remarketing ads only show to people who have visited a specific website while running such a campaign.

The advantage for you, the advertiser, is that it can support your branding strategy. Once people visit your website most will not click on your ad again because they already know you. However, they will see your message multiple times reinforcing your company name and message. If viewers don’t click, it doesn’t cost the advertiser anything. Those that do click on your ads tend to be people who need more information or are ready to buy. This is what gives remarketing ads such a good conversion rate.

When you combine SEO and remarketing you are addressing the three core activities in Market Hacking. Driving traffic, developing awareness and improving conversions. Sounds like a winning combination to me.
