The Ins, Outs, Pros, & Cons of PPC
Let’s try to make this as simple as possible. Pay-per-click advertising is an activity where you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. Unlike broadcast, print, or outdoor advertising campaigns, where you pay for the space, you pay for the activity with PPC.
Let’s look at some of the positives of adding PPC to your marketing mix:
- Ads show to people actively searching for your product or service.
Ads show to a target audience that you (or we) select
PPC offers immediate results
You control the budget
Measurable results where you can track clicks, conversions, and performance
The Things We Do
PPC encompasses just about any digital marketing platform — Google, Meta, Bing, and LinkedIn — and having a well-formulated strategy for each is essential.
We take a comprehensive, full-funnel approach to PPC, strategizing for every stage of the conversion funnel—awareness at the top and customer loyalty at the bottom. Yes, we want to generate leads for your business, but it’s just as important to nurture those leads throughout the funnel and turn them into loyal customers.
Here is where we have PPC expertise:
Google Ads Management — keyword and audience research lead to cost-efficient campaigns to generate more leads and sales
Meta Ads Management — reach your ideal customers and grow your brand’s online presence across Facebook and Instagram.
LinkedIn Ads Management — reach decision makers with targeted campaigns for the people in your industry, increase page followers, and promote thought leadership articles.
Bing Ads Management — pinpoint the most effective keywords and audiences to boost your lead generation and drive more sales
Additionally, cross-channel remarketing is one of the most important and effective methods of getting attention across every digital platform and driving users back to your website to complete desired actions with personalized remarketing campaigns.
What You’ll Need to Get Started with PPC
