The Benefits of Running a Successful PPC Campaign
The average company ad spend on PPC and display advertising is between £7,500 and £9,000 per month. Yet, with so many marketing avenues available to brands, what’s so special about PPC that it’s worth such hefty investment? Let’s take a look….
More Leads
PPC offers a fast-track solution for generating leads. By directing your ads to highly targeted audiences that have already expressed an interest in the services you offer, you can quickly and easily bring potential customers into your sales funnel.
More Sales
A PPC campaign doesn’t just drive traffic; when implemented by an experience PPC specialist, it drives qualified traffic. This means that the leads you generate are more likely to convert into paying customers, resulting in a higher ROI.
More Data
With PPC campaigns, you can see exactly how much money is being spent—and the results it’s yielding—at any given time. These measurable results allow you to implement fresh targeting and re-targeting strategies on an ad hoc basis, with the aim of maximising your ROI.
Less Cost
With PPC, you only pay when someone clicks on one of your ads—so instead of traditional pay-per-impression (PPI) models, you can be sure that each click is providing tangible value.
Platforms for Running Your PPC Campaigns
Whilst traditionally associated with search engines, PPC is a widely adopted advertising model, used to drive traffic from sites across the web. Let’s take a look at some of the digital marketing platforms that PPC agencies love the most….
Paid Search (Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising)
Paid search involves placing ads in prominent search results (Google, Bing, etc.) These high-value placements increase the visibility of your ads and serve to drive qualified traffic to your website.
Paid Social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok)
Paid ads are a crucial element of any successful social media marketing campaign. This form of PPC allows for incredibly detailed audience segmentation—so you can tailor campaigns based on age, gender, interests etc.—and is ideal for brand-building and recognition.
eCommerce PPC (Google Shopping, Amazon Advertising)
Retailers and eCommerce businesses can use Google Shopping and Amazon to display products from their stores in sponsored search results. Not only does this drive more relevant traffic, but you will also benefit from a visually appealing and user-friendly shopping experience.
Google Display Network
The Google Display Network is a display advertising network that allows you to place various display ad types on various websites, apps, and videos across the web. This type of display advertising combined with search and social strategies is a cost-effective way to develop strong visibility throughout the digital landscape. What’s more, the ability to define the specific websites on which your ads appear means you’re always in control.
