Online Locally enables businesses to increase sales by targeting
customers in their service area who are searching on the Internet for local
products and services, whether the business has a Web site or not. Online
Locally makes the process of marketing online much easier and cost-effective
for businesses wishing to target customers in a specific geographic area. If
you are a business looking to generate leads from online customers or if you
are a group representing businesses looking to do so, then Online Locally is
right for you.
A Online Locally relationship enables advertisers to easily and
effectively market their businesses locally through the placement of Search
Engine keyword ads, Internet Yellow Pages ads and Geo-Targeted Banner ads to
reach customers who are searching for products and services online. Online
Locally can help you cost-effectively target qualified customers interested
in your product, in your neighborhood. Through a Online Locally
relationship, advertisers may also develop campaign-specific destination
pages (web sites) to direct potential customers. Advertisers may log into
their Online Locally relationship at all times to get information regarding
the number of leads (phone calls, e-mails, web site visits, etc.) their
online campaign has generated.
Opening a Online Locally account is free; however, a minimum deposit of
$100.00 is required to bring your advertising campaign online. With your
Online Locally account, you only pay for the number of actual customer
visits resulting from customers interacting with your ads. Any money left
over after your campaign has ended is fully refundable and can be applied to
future campaigns.
To participate in the Online Locally affiliate program ? where you can
earn money by referring other businesses to advertise through the Online
Locally advertising platform ? you will need to establish a Online Locally
account. Both self-service advertisers and agencies may participate in the
affiliate program. If you do NOT plan on placing ads and only wish to
participate in the affiliate program, you should contact your local
representative.
Whether you are a Online Locally advertiser, an agency with a Online
Locally account, or someone involved in online advertising & marketing, you
can make additional money by referring other businesses to Online Locally
for their online development & advertising solution. For every $1,000.00
spent by an advertiser you refer, you will receive $50.00 ? or 5% of their
total spend (for agencies participating in the Online Locally Agency
Program, this is in addition to your existing agency commissions).
Your Business Information refers to your billing address, billing phone
number and additional information determining your financial relationship
with Online Locally. Your Advertiser Information will be used in your
advertising and will be displayed to the public; you may choose to provide
different contact information for your business here or you may use your
Business Information here as well if the information is the same.
To set up an Advertiser under your Agency account, you must first create
the Agency account with us.. Once you have completed filling out the
Business and Personal information, your Agency account and your personal
Agency Admin accounts will have been created.
At this time, your Online Locally account is separate from any existing
accounts you may have previously established with other publishers,
including Overture and Google. Some Online Locally advertisers have existing
Google and Overture accounts and manage their national campaigns through
them, but then establish a Online Locally account in order to simplify the
work in managing regional or local campaigns. Through a Online Locally
account, there is no need for an advertiser to go through the work of
opening up accounts with every single publisher, as Online Locally does that
for you. Through a Online Locally account, all activity from all publishers
will be contained in one centralized reporting area, so there is no need for
an advertiser to log into multiple accounts to view reports.
