PPC (Pay-Per-Click) Advertising

A Smart Way To See Quick Results

Your customers are using the internet to search for products and services, which means there’s an active audience looking for what your business offers, and an opportunity to make a sale. PPC (pay-per-click) advertising helps you get in front of your target audience through a precise level of advertising.

What is PPC?

PPC

PPC is an online advertising model where businesses run ads over the internet and pay a fee each time their ad is clicked or viewed.

It provides an opportunity for advertisers to place a bid for ad placement on various online platforms for their business. Advertisers use PPC to drive traffic, sales, and inquiries from their target audience to their business.

With PPC advertising, you have much more control over your ad campaign’s performance because of the data collection available. Most PPC platforms provide detailed information to help with targeting, meaning you can position your ad to get in front of customers that fit your exact demographic. Additionally, you can evaluate each ads’ views and clicks, and make any changes necessary to improve your campaign’s performance.

 

Benefits of PPC Advertising:

  • A targeted and effective way to reach your ideal customer
  • Only pay for clicks, so you’re in total control of your budget
  • Everything can be measured, which means you can refine your ads until they produce a positive ROI.
  • Drive warm leads and improved sales when you reach customers more likely to convert

 

Different Types of PPC Ads:

When it comes to PPC there are many different types of ads to consider:

Google Ads

Bing Ads

Bing Ads, also known as Microsoft Advertising, lets you run ads on Bing, Yahoo, and AOL.

Display Ads

These ads appear on Google’s partner websites. Instead of being all-in text ads, these typically include a photo and text.

Social Media Ads
