To reach people in the product comparison phase, the company uses more detailed keywords (web based database software) , ad copy that focuses on product differentiation, and landing pages featuring product comparison charts. Finally, for prospects ready to buy, the firm advertises against very specific, purchase-oriented keywords (purchase database application software) , ad copy that focuses on unique product specifications, and landing pages with product selection and pricing tables and Request Quote forms.
