Google Gives Adwords A Push In India – Offers Free Adwords Advertising To SMBs


Contrary to popular belief sometimes the Big G of the Internet too has to market itself to gain further traction. So recently we reported on how Yahoo went offline to showcase its focus of Y!ou. Google on the other hand is using the freebies option to attract SMBs.

Google adwords which is the ad platform via which advertisers can create and target google ads on google search and its network now wants to get more mainstream in India and wants Indian SMBs using its service. So its offering small businesses (that have an online presence) an offer to avail Rs 2500/- worth of advertising coupons by just calling the number 1860 266 6622 and registering their websites with Google India Ad Words platform – http://adwords.google.co.in.

How to sign up for the offer:

1. Call the number 1860 266 6622
2. Share your business and contact details
3. Google India AdWords representative will provide the account setup support along with 1 month dedicated customer support to manage the ad  campaign.

This is an all India initiative and points at the aggressive mode that Google seems to be taking in penetrating the Indian SMB segment by providing them this sampling opportunity. Adwords has created a SEM (Search engine marketing) Industry of its own and companies like Pinstorm and Communicate2 have become 100+ people enterprises by purely servicing large companies needs to manage their adwords accounts.

But smaller players have still not jumped onto the adwords bandwagon just yet as it involves understanding of keywords and ad targeting and also an understanding of internet which may not be too great in SMB’s in smaller towns and cities. This is the very reason google is offering this. Google also is bundling a month long handholding exercise with one of their customer support executives so that the client can start to self manage their accounts within a month.
