Starting immediately, regional ad customers from meinestadt.de can book directory ads as well as Google AdWords. This is made possible by a strategic alliance between the two internet giants. The city portal offers small businesses full service tools for local online marketing, claims the site.
By having a premium profile in the directory book from meinestadt.de, users can choose between various ad packages ranging between 50 and 200 Euros. By booking from Google AdWords, companies are not only found in the local search on the city portal, but also on Google, Google Places, as well as on “hundreds of thousands of websites in Google’s ad-network.” Ads only appear when the search is related to a product or service offered by the company, making it more relevant.
