Price
Their pricing is not for the users and they charge the advertisers on the basis of pay per click & pay per action. There is a possibility that in the future they will begin to charge for certain services such as Google Earth. They provide their search links on different sites and charge the sites for that. They provide aggregate information of their search to various companies as secondary data.

Place

• The reach is massive because it is available to all the internet users. • Internet usage rate is increasing all over the globe – Wi-Fi, through mobile phones • Transcending the barriers – 34 language limit options

Promotion: Creating a buzzword

• Relies greatly on word of mouth centered on quality. • Google sought to go in a different directions than the other web portals that tried to bring everything to the user on their home pages. • A minimal homepage which loads immediately without any annoying advertisements – but customizing “Google” as per the talk of the day. • Google’s growth is proof of the power of viral marketing, without the need for massive advertising budgets. • Providing restricted number of invites like they did in gmail and now they are doing in Wave

Recommendations Suggestions Market Analysis Competitive Analysis Company Category Marketing Strategy

• Search : Competition from both big web companies and well-funded startups will force Google to remain focused on continuing to innovate in search. • Contextual Ads- Continually invest & innovate to come up with newer ways of earning revenues to retain market share. • Other Ad formats - With Google clearly intent on spreading its advertising platform to the offline world, go for more acquisitions. • Video – Continue Good work. Consolidate position. • Social Networking – Acquire other players. • Office Suite – Continuous R&D.
