Write your ad so more people find it
Every edition of Action Ads is published online as a searchable PDF, so a few simple writing tips can help your ad reach more people.
Include keywords
People search for a word, not a sentence. Make the first words of your ad the product or service you’re offering.
Examples:
BAKKIE FOR SALE – 2018 Ford Ranger, excellent condition…- PLUMBER – Fast, reliable service throughout Knysna…
Reliable tradesman available for all your plumbing needs.
Use the words you would use to find your business in a search engine.
Include your website
Write your website address in full so it appears as a clickable link in the online edition.
Examples:
- actionads.co.za
- www.actionads.co.za
Avoid phrases like “Visit our website” or “Search for our business online” – they don’t create a clickable link.
