So, it seems interesting. A way to reach more people.

Anyone start to see results form Google Radio Advertising?

In my case, I'm in real estate.

I get a lot of solid business from my website which is a very simple, clean easy to use site with instant access to recent MLS property listings, among other things,

I am considering a Google Radio ad repeating my fairly easy to remember website over and over however the advertising specialist sees fit.

IN addition to the help I can provide locally with buying/selling, I can also refer the top performing agent in any specified area to help folks from other states sell or buy.

I'm looking at a good chunk of money and wanted to see if anyone was getting actual leads from Google Radio?

My goal would be to drive whatever traffic there was to my website.

Thinking of radio ads from my point of view- 1) I never listen to commercials. I change the channel. 2) I virtually always listen to a CD instead of Radio.

I guess people actually do listen to radio these days especially during the morning/evening commute home.

Juts one conversion would bring me $5000+

I'm just looking for *anyone* who has had decent results from Google Radio ads.

Thanks in advance!

Sp, what is the verdict of google radio ads?

I've been very happy with Google audio ads. I think that right now, for "branding", your simply not going to find a better way to go.

I like the radio ads so much I even did a testimonial [google.com] for them.

If you have a good site audio ads is a great way to help create brand awareness for that site.

If anyone has any feedback (whether positive, neutral, or negative) that they'd like the Audio Ads team to hear, please feel free to post it here.

I'll pass it along.

I was just going to post this very question. I am getting an ad done as I type this and am interested in what will happen in the end. I guess it is basically branding so it's hard to say what will come out of each dollar spent on radio. I just want to try to reach some people that aren't finding me in online searches.

AWA,

That is very open of you to invite feedback. Impressive.

Google clearly has some smart business folks, branching into radio and print. When will we get TV commercials? :)

I guess the most important thing for advertising on radio is that there must be a VERY easy to remember number, URL, or company name repeated as many times as possible or presented in a way that really imprints into someone's mind.

I'd probably get a toll free vanity # that is easy to remember before doing the radio ad.

For me- it's possible people can call right from their car.

I'd probably hammer home my website URL which is pretty easy to remember and a call to action URL then the vanity number so folks can call or enter into their cell phone right away or MAYBE remeber the URL.

Of course, many will miss a word or mistake it for another and I'd send people to someone else's site! LOL.

But- what can you do. I;m sure the folks who prepare the radio ads will make good suggestions.

When I get another closing I will give it a go.

What I would *really* prefer is radio advertising outside the United States. I get good success from AW shwoing my ads in the UK as the exchange rate is good and prices low here now.

Folks will soon be traveling to the Orlando area and it's an awesome time for soemoen with long term goals to buy.

AWA- can we place radio ads in the UK?
