Frequently Asked Questions


What is SearchLight?

Homestead SearchLight is the easiest, most cost-effective way to draw qualified prospects from the

world's most popular search engines, like GoogleTM, Yahoo!®, MSN, AOL, and Ask.

When people search for the type of products or services you offer, your ad appears right alongside the

top search results. One click takes them directly to your website.

We handle everything from keyword (search word) selection to writing the ad, tracking the results, and

paying for the service, so you get qualified leads effortlessly and affordably.

How does SearchLight work?

Our expert search engine consultants review your website and generate relevant keywords, business

descriptions, and online text ads. Then we place your online ads on premium search engines such

as: Google, MSN, AOL, Yahoo!, Ask, and others. When people search these engines for the type

of products or services you offer, your ad appears right alongside the top search results.

One click takes them directly to your website.

Where do you place my ads?

Depending on the package you've selected, we choose among 20 of the most popular search engines,

including Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, and Ask.com. The specific mix of search engines, frequency of

your ad's appearance, and ranking among other ads will vary depending on the nature of your business

and the SearchLight package you've chosen.

The process of selecting search engines, bidding, tracking results, and adjusting the campaign is

complex and fluctuates based on the market. That's why we guarantee results

(clicks from qualified prospects) rather than specific placements. We guarantee you'll receive at least

the minimum number of clicks specified in your SearchLight package, no matter how much of our

money we have to spend, or how many search engines we have to use, to achieve those results.

What is the difference between SearchLight and

"search engine optimization" (SEO)?

SearchLight is a search engine advertising service that takes care of all aspects of creating and

managing an effective paid campaign on multiple search engines. SearchLight guarantees to

drive a certain number of qualified consumers per year to your website.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a set of techniques used to help get your website recognized

by search engines and listed in among the search results of users looking for your type of product

or service. Although we strongly recommend you use both tools, search engine optimization does

not guarantee your website will appear in search engine results, or that your listing will be associated

with keywords used by people searching for your product or service.

What is the guarantee?

Homestead guarantees that the annual number of clicks specified in your package will be delivered

within one calendar year from date of campaign activation. If the number of actual clicks achieved is

less than the number guaranteed by your order, your account will remain active beyond the term of

the contract without further charge until the guaranteed click total is reached. If your account generates

more than the guaranteed number of clicks, you will not be charged for the additional clicks.

What if I want more visitors than my package promises?

Once you have purchased a SearchLight package, you can add more guaranteed clicks

(site visits) at anytime.

How can I see my ad on the search engines?

With thousands of advertisers bidding on the same keywords, the cost of placing your ad in the results

of every search on your keywords would be prohibitive. The specific mix of search engines,

frequency of your ad's appearance, and ranking among other ads will vary depending on the nature

of your business and the SearchLight package you've chosen.

Although you may occasionally see your ads on Google, Yahoo and others, you won't see your ad with

every search on your keywords.

But you won't have to worry about making sure your ad is running, because we guarantee results

(clicks from qualified prospects) rather than specific placements. We guarantee you'll receive at least

the minimum number of clicks specified in your SearchLight package, no matter how much of our

money we have to spend, or how many search engines we have to use, to achieve those results.

What are "qualified clicks"?

Your SearchLight campaign ads will only be shown to Internet users searching specifically for your

product or services within your region as determined by keywords and geographic targeting.

We're experts at selecting the keywords that will effectively place your ads in view of people actually

looking to buy your products or services.

Can I order SearchLight if my website is not hosted with Homestead?

Yes, SearchLight is available for any website regardless of where it is hosted.

Why are the prices different for the Premium categories?

Paid search advertising is based on a bid system for specific keywords. Some popular business

categories require more expensive bids. For example, it's much more expensive to bid on keywords

for a Plastic Surgeon in Los Angeles versus a Hair Salon in Spokane.

What is the "website consultation"?

All SearchLight packages come with a free professional site review consultation.

During this 30-minute consultation, a professional website designer will review your

site and provide valuable tips and techniques to help you improve your site and turn more

shoppers into buyers.

Why should I pay Homestead when I could place my own ads directly with the

search engines?

In most industries, you can save by "cutting out the middleman." But when it comes to search

engine advertising, you'll find, as our customers have, that SearchLight delivers more clicks

from better-qualified prospects at a lower cost-per-click than you could yourself.

That's in addition to the enormous amount of time you'd spend placing and tracking ads with

20+ search engines independently. Here are the steps you'd have to take to do the job yourself:
