As real time changes to landing pages, ad-†copy and bids based on conversion can bring tremendous efficiencies to Enterprise Search Campaigns".
Ronny believes that, “Most of the PPC technologies are similar to each other, however the key differentiation is the expertise required to custom develop a solution to best leverage the technologies. My expertise of working with the technology-based companies in custom developing technologies as per the needs of the enterprises shall help in increasing the ROI enterprises receive from their paid search endeavors.”
