An article published in the SMH today speaks of the growing problems with television advertising. Ads are untargeted and with new TiVO and DV technology, people are increasingly choosing to skip through television ads. Why is this? Because they are irrelevant to the vast majority of people. Google and search marketing on the other hand, is 100% targeted, and reaches people who WANT your products and services, and are actively searching for you. Why would you spend money on television advertising, and be in the ‘mind prompting’ game, before you are easily accessible to those people who are ALREADY searching for your services, but simply cannot find you.

Can you be found easily online when buyers Google your products or services? Does Google work for your business? Speak with one of our friendly Google Qualified Professionals today.

SMH Article: TV advertising: could this be the end?

SmartClix recently deployed new 3G iPhones to staff members. Google is the undisputed search leader in the Australian market, but having Google in your pocket is something truly remarkable. Whether driving on the road, meeting with a client, in a meeting, or out for lunch, having Google in your pocket is empowering. Empowering not just for consumers who own an iPhone, but also for businesses, allowing them to reach not just people ‘Googling’ their services from their home or office, but also people on the road. It is becoming increasingly important for businesses to have not just an online presence, but for that online presence to be ACCESSIBLE to consumers without bending over backwards!

“84.8 percent of iPhone owners use the device to browse the web,according to a new study by M:Metrics. That’s a staggering number when you compare it to the rest of the market: Only 13.1 percent of people who own other types of cellphones are using their phones for the same purpose.

These numbers suggest that Apple chief executive Steve Jobs was right when he said the iPhone would change the way people use mobile devices to browse the Internet. At the All Things D conference in May of last year (just prior to the iPhone launch) Jobs said, “You’ve used the internet on your phone, it’s terrible! You get the baby Internet, or the mobile Internet — people want the real Internet on their phone. We are going to deliver that.”

Google Maps Street View is now Available in Australia!

This Amazing technology enables you to view and navigate 360-degree street-level imagery of public roads in Australia, from the CBD to the outback, from Geraldton to Coffs Harbour. Google has once again left competitors in the dust. Perhaps this is the reason why 93% of Australians use Google Search products!?

Google-branded Holden Astra cars with roof-mounted cameras began traversing our streets about November last year, taking tens of millions of detailed panoramic street-level photos.

Most Australian coastal cities and many regional and outback towns are covered but there are some notable omissions, such as Uluru.

Google Maps product manager Andrew Foster said more images would be added to Street View in the coming months as they are processed by Google.

Street View was launched in the US in May last year and has since expanded to parts of France and Italy. Google’s camera-equipped cars have also been spotted in New Zealand, Britain, Germany, Spain, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Japan, Switzerland and Norway.

“Our ambition is to be a world map,” said Lars Rasmussen, Google Australia’s engineer and one of the original creators of Google Maps.

Google expects tourists, home seekers, students and armchair explorers to embrace Street View in their research. The feature has already been praised by Tourism Australia, the Real Estate Institute of Australia and the Australian Geography Teachers Association.
Many Australian organisations - including Tourism Australia, the Real Estate Institute of Australia and the Australian Geography Teachers Association - have already identified significant opportunities for Street View to be used in travel, tourism, house buying and renting, education and helping make small businesses easier to find.

One year ago, Gary was approached by a company offering to position his window-painting business on the front page of Google Search.

Gary was so impressed with all the work which resulted from his Google campaign that he gave up his 15 year profession as a painter to become a sales representative for this Google Marketing company.  Within three months, he had become the leading salesman.

Gary’s firsthand experience, passion, excitement and confidence in Google and the amazing potential it offers businesses, led him to establish his own Google marketing company — SmartClix Australia Pty Ltd. SmartClix Australia’s head office is located in Ballina and assists hundreds of businesses all over Australia. SmartClix empowers companies to harness the explosive growth of the internet, utilising Google’s new dynamic platform to drive sales and awareness.

Today Gary explained “Most internet marketing companies require at least two years to become Google Qualified, but we will be Google Qualified this weekend and it took us only 8 months”.

There are only 15 Google Qualified companies in Australia. The requirements of becoming a Google Qualified company include having at least two Google Qualified Professionals within the business and managing a US $100,000.00 AdWords client click-spend in a 90-day period.

SmartClix Australia’s client base, is extremely diverse including lawyers, tank manufacturers, corporate aircraft charter companies and engine fitters.

Joel, SmartClix’ marketing director today said “the sheer convenience, dynamic technology, instant results and return on investment achievable with Google Search make it a very compelling option for businesses…” “The primary differentiating factor between Google and other mediums of advertising, is that with a properly targeted Google campaign, we are reaching people who want to know more about your products and services and are already searching for them! Google only charges you when someone who is actively searching for your products not only sees and reads you ad, but actually chooses to click on it, to visit your website and find out more information.” He revealed that 93% of Australians use Google Search and encouraged business owners (with or without websites) who wish to harness the potential Google offers and gain most effective results, to call SmartClix and ask to speak to one of their friendly Google Qualified Professionals.

Tracey from Comet Automotive on the Gold Coast explaned recently: “We knew we would be able to get more customers through our web site. Joel, at SmartClix knew just how to align our business with the internet as an advertising medium which has resulted in immediate hits and enquiries“.

With an ever increasing number of Australian’s discovering the convenience of searching online for products and services, SmartClix Australia has a rapidly expanding client base not just in the Norther Rivers or Australia, but worldwide.
