While pay-per-click (PPC) ads offer a prime opportunity to capture and convert leads, running successful PPC campaigns can be confusing and overwhelming to those who lack the experience and knowledge to do so.

Pay-per-click is a form of marketing strategy where managed ads are used to drive users to your business with a specific goal in mind. Whenever an ad is clicked, the advertiser pays a publisher.

PPC marketing is managed on various platforms including Google Ads (formally known as AdWords) and Facebook Business, which sponsors your ads on certain channels such as a search engine, social media platform, or third-party website. The advertiser only pays when a user clicks on an ad or makes a call from it (if call tracking is set up).

There are many different variables in pay-per-click marketing and achieving the perfect balance for success often eludes organizations that take it on in-house.

 

Mastering The Art Of The PPC Ad

A marketing agency that has mastered the art of creating, running, and managing pay-per-click ads can easily track and measure the results of campaigns for just about any conversion goal.

  • Using the right tools in conjunction with proper analytics and insights setup yields high-level performance data. Think clicks, impressions, conversions, and sales.
  • The performance of PPC campaigns needs to be tracked and analyzed frequently at various data points to judge whether or not the quality is good and decide what needs to change to improve results.
  • Analytics and sales platforms with dedicated landing pages help determine the amount of money spent on each campaign or ad and whether or not the results align with your marketing goals and budget.
