You must have a website that is properly set up to ever show up. It will be set up the same as any of our Nationwide SEO campaigns. You will also have to be properly set up with Google to be able to actually show up in the Google Ad’s section. One of the major keys to having a successful Pay-Per-Click Campaign is to have a website that is going to captivate the user and keep them on your site.
