Want to get more relevant traffic and sales? Our freelance Digital Advertising specialists bring in targeted traffic by advertising on specific keywords within the search networks of Google & Bing. Potential customers are looking for relevant products or services 24 hours a day, and as a business you can respond to that precisely.

Digital Advertising is a channel where you pay per click, and that calls for a strong focus on ROI. Because our Digital Advertising specialists are also experienced and certified marketers, they can fully support you in devising, setting up and optimising campaigns.

LOOKING FOR A FREELANCE SEA SPECIALIST? WHAT IS FREELANCING?

Freelancing is a form of self-employment. Instead of being employed by a company, freelancers usually work as self-employed professionals, providing their services on a contract or project basis.

Companies of all shapes and sizes can hire freelancers to carry out a project or task, but freelancers are responsible for paying their own taxes, health insurance, pension and other personal contributions.

Because they work for themselves, freelancers also have to pay their own holiday costs and sick pay. At the same time, self-employed professionals can set their own working hours and make working arrangements that suit their lifestyle – remotely or from their client's office.

There are many different types of freelancers, but they're usually knowledge workers with a high level of skill and knowledge in a particular field, such as designers, writers, programmers, translators, project managers and so on. There is, however, another group of self-employed professionals who are often classed as “gig workers” or “contractors”. Self-employed handymen, cleaners, construction workers and drivers fall into this category. The biggest difference between contractors and freelancers is that freelancers often use the internet to do their work.

What are the advantages of an agency versus a freelancer?

Although bringing in an agency may seem similar to hiring a freelancer, there are clear differences. These are the unique advantages of working with an agency as opposed to an individual freelancer.

1. Less supervision

When you hire an external agency, you don't have to invest as much time in managing the projects they work on. DGTLbase assigns a project manager to every client to oversee the specialists working on your project (or projects). The project manager is responsible for coordination to make sure projects are delivered on time. If a project is delayed, an agency can immediately deploy extra resources, unlike a freelancer.

2. Long-term relationships with clients

Agencies look for clients with several large projects, because that helps them grow and stabilise their workload. That's why at DGTLbase we're always looking for a long-term relationship with you, and we'll prove ourselves time and again.

3. Better project management

Because agencies are bigger and have to keep several teams and departments on track, they're generally better at managing work – especially larger projects – than the average remote freelancer. They have dedicated teams, organised workflows, access to company resources and paid tools, and much more. So if your projects are complex, we may be the right choice for your business.

Freelance SEA specialist at DGTLbase

A freelance SEA specialist at DGTLbase offers several advantages. We start with an audit of your website and determine the strategy together. We then go through a few more steps and finish with a possible remarketing strategy.

Audit

Are you already using Google Ads and not sure whether it's being done properly, or would you like to know where you're missing growth opportunities?

We're happy to help by carrying out a Digital Advertising audit of the entire account. This health check examines all basic settings, possible errors and any optimisations that will drive growth. Google adds dozens of new advertising settings every year, and it would be a shame not to make use of them.

Strategy

Looking for a Digital Advertising strategy that fits your company's growth objectives? We're happy to help you develop a workable Digital Advertising strategy that contributes to the company's growth. Whatever budget is available, we can always look at how best to use it with a healthy ROI.

This strategy also looks at how it relates to other online marketing channels. The entire customer journey is mapped out, and we respond to it perfectly with Google Ads.

Advice

Don't want us to set out the entire Digital Advertising strategy for you? Do you only need advice on specific components such as Google Shopping, Google Search or Google Display?

Then we're happy to help! If, for example, a particular Google Search campaign isn't performing as it should, we can dig deeper. We'll look at current performance and deliver tailored advice with clear priorities.

Step-by-step plan

Do you already have a clear Digital Advertising strategy and need support in drawing up a Google Ads plan of action? Often dozens of optimisations need to be carried out, and it's often hard to determine which will have the most impact. We're happy to set the priorities with you so you can start realising growth in the account as quickly as possible.

Training

Want to learn how to do Digital Advertising yourself? That's possible too, and we regularly give Google Ads training at various companies. This can be a general training session on using Digital Advertising, how to set up campaigns and what to bear in mind. It's also possible to get tailored training. In that case, we look at the account in advance and give training based on the current situation.

Google Ads

Want support in writing good Google Ads copy? Or would you rather learn how to write the best ads that deliver a higher click-through rate? Thanks to our extensive experience, we know how you can write the best ad copy to bring in potential customers. With a clear A/B testing roadmap for the ad copy, together we make sure we never miss out on customers!

Sparring partner

Don't need specific advice or a complete Google Ads strategy, but looking for a sparring partner? We're happy to help! We can always be hired for individual hours in which you can run certain questions or strategies past us. We'll give you honest advice on what we think of the idea or question. You can then decide for yourself whether you want to take it further.

Remarketing

Let's say a customer visits your website and leaves. A missed opportunity? Definitely! Maybe they were in the middle of a purchase or were interrupted while browsing. Either way, you need to reconnect with this potential customer. This is where remarketing comes in. Your banner is shown on the websites the potential customer visits. The lower cost per click (CPC) makes this an attractive proposition.

Google looks at several factors when determining the ranking of your ads – Since average position was removed, ranking ads has become more complex. For this reason, using a freelance Digital Advertising specialist with considerable experience and a proven track record of results is crucial to make sure you attract more visitors to your website with a healthy ROI.

Are you happy with your ROI?

4 reasons why you need a Digital Advertising specialist.

1. Costs are lower in the long term

By working with our Digital Advertising specialists, who can help streamline the company's campaign, costs are actually reduced. The experts are able, for example, to increase the rate at which new customers and clients come to the business. This results in a better outcome, and the AdWords specialists can pay for themselves in no time.

2. A Google Ads specialist saves you time

A Google AdWords expert saves you time. You're the business owner and you probably have more than a few roles to fill in the business. Maybe you lead marketing and take care of everything that comes with running your online shop and marketplace store. Maybe you're in charge of operations and personally oversee everything from sourcing and stock to customer service, while keeping the company culture and vision alive. You might also be the driving force behind all the new ideas that move your business forward into its next stages. You know better than anyone that there simply aren't enough hours in the day to take on another time-consuming task.

Pay-per-click advertising is highly technical and requires a strict process and constant monitoring. Especially when you're running your first real campaign, it will take you several hours a week to get everything just right. It takes a while to master pay-per-click. It makes sense to spare yourself this burden so you can focus on tasks you're already prepared for and that need your specific expertise. Leave pay-per-click to a Google AdWords expert who can do the work in a fraction of the time.

3. It delivers better results

Naturally, you want to get the best possible results from your campaign. Trying to achieve great results yourself isn't easy because of the learning curve and the high level of competition. You're entering a very sophisticated system with very sophisticated users in an auction-like environment. There are so many factors in setting up a good campaign that it's simply not feasible for a beginner. An expert simply knows the ins and outs of the system and can deliver much better results for you.

4. It brings in new customers

If the campaign is run in the right way, it will help bring in new customers, and that will happen regularly. It will bring in new leads and enquiries, so your business always has new customers and prospects coming in, virtually or literally. Your business deserves a chance of success, and you should do everything you can to make sure it can succeed.

This approach to marketing means less time, cost and effort is wasted.

Flexible
Creating high-performing websites and online campaigns takes time. We can work as a freelance online marketer, or we can easily work as part of your company (interim), depending on your online marketing needs. If deadlines are tight, we can easily spend more time to make sure every deadline is met.

The flexibility of a freelance online marketer can save money in the long term because you only use the online marketing services you need, nothing else, reducing the need to spend money without results.
