Background of the study:
Search engine marketing (SEM) has become a cornerstone of digital advertising, especially for B2B service providers seeking to generate high-quality leads. In Port Harcourt, B2B companies are leveraging SEM techniques—such as paid search campaigns, keyword optimization, and targeted ad placements—to increase online visibility and drive prospective client engagement (Chinwe, 2023). This study investigates how SEM influences lead generation by evaluating the effectiveness of different strategies in capturing and nurturing business inquiries. The research explores the role of bid management, ad relevance, and landing page optimization in converting clicks into qualified leads (Ibrahim, 2024). As competition intensifies in the B2B sector, companies are compelled to adopt sophisticated SEM tactics to maintain a competitive edge and maximize return on investment. Furthermore, the study examines challenges such as budget constraints, bid fluctuations, and the evolving landscape of search engine algorithms, which can affect campaign performance. By analyzing real-time data and performance metrics, this investigation provides a comprehensive understanding of how SEM contributes to effective lead generation in a B2B context.
Statement of the problem:
B2B service providers in Port Harcourt face difficulties in effectively leveraging SEM to generate consistent and high-quality leads. Despite investing in SEM campaigns, many companies encounter challenges in achieving the desired conversion rates due to issues such as high competition for keywords and fluctuating ad costs (Chinwe, 2023). There is a lack of clear insights into the optimal strategies that can overcome these barriers and enhance lead generation efficiency. This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing the current SEM practices and identifying the factors that hinder lead conversion, aiming to provide actionable recommendations for improved SEM performance (Ibrahim, 2024).
Objectives of the study:
To evaluate the impact of SEM on lead generation in B2B contexts.
To identify key challenges and factors influencing SEM performance.
To recommend strategies for optimizing SEM campaigns for better lead conversion.
Research questions:
How does SEM influence lead generation for B2B service providers?
What challenges affect the performance of SEM campaigns in Port Harcourt?
What strategies can enhance lead conversion rates through SEM?
Significance of the study:
This study is significant as it offers vital insights into the role of SEM in generating quality leads for B2B service providers. The findings will assist marketers in refining their SEM strategies, leading to improved lead quality, conversion rates, and overall business growth in competitive B2B markets (Chinwe, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024).
Scope and limitations of the study:
This study is limited to assessing SEM strategies for a B2B service provider in Port Harcourt and does not extend to other digital marketing channels or industries.
Definitions of terms:
Search engine marketing (SEM): A digital marketing strategy that involves paid advertising on search engines.
