    What is PPC? The technical stuff!

    In the fast-paced digital marketing landscape, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising is a powerful tool for driving targeted traffic to your website. Whether you’re looking to increase brand visibility, generate leads, or boost sales, understanding the key elements of PPC can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your campaigns.

    1. Keyword Research: The Foundation of PPC

    Keyword research is the backbone of any PPC campaign. It involves identifying the search terms your target audience uses to find products or services similar to yours, this could be the same as your SEO research and could comprise a part of your acquisition plan, initially targeting the keywords with PPC transitioning to SEO after rank acquired.

    We us tools like Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and SEMrush to discover high-traffic, low-competition keywords.

    Why it matters: Accurate keyword research ensures your ads appear in front of the right audience, increasing the likelihood of clicks and conversions and lowering the chance of wasted budget.

    2. Ad Copy: Crafting Compelling Messages

    Ad copy is the text that appears in your PPC ads. It needs to be compelling, relevant, and aligned with the keywords you’re targeting. Effective ad copy includes:

    • Headline: Grab attention with a clear, concise headline that includes your primary keyword.
    • Description: Provide a brief, persuasive description that highlights the benefits of your offering and includes a call-to-action (CTA).
    • Display URL: Ensure the display URL is clean and relevant to the ad content.

    Why it matters: Well-crafted ad copy attracts clicks, driving more traffic to your landing pages and improving your Quality Score, which can lower costs and improve ad positions.

    3. Landing Pages: Ensuring Relevance and Quality

    A landing page is where users arrive after clicking your ad. The landing page should be directly relevant to the ad and optimized for conversions. Key elements include:

    • Relevance: Ensure the landing page content matches the ad copy and keywords but don’t ‘keyword stuff’.
    • Design: Use a clean, user-friendly design that guides visitors towards your desired action.
    • Call-to-Action (CTA): Include a clear, compelling CTA that encourages visitors to take the next step, whether it’s filling out a form, making a purchase, or downloading a resource.
    • Load Speed: Optimize the landing page for fast loading times to reduce bounce rates.
    • Style: A/B test changes to key on page elements such as the colour of your conversion button or the location of the conversion button.
    • Imagery: Make sure you have sufficient imagery of your product, offering or service. Five is currently the optimal number of pictures and videos.

    Why it matters: A well-designed landing page increases the chances of converting visitors into customers, maximizing the return on your PPC investment.

    4. Targeting: Reaching the Right Audience

    Targeting in PPC allows you to define who sees your ads based on various criteria, including:

    • Demographics: Target users by age, gender, income, education level, and more. The availability of these fields has varied a lot over time due to changes in governance in different areas of the world and the availability of cookies on computers.
    • Geographic Location: Focus on specific locations where your potential customers are. This is especially important if you only service specific areas of a country.
    • Interests and Behaviours: Use data on user interests and online behaviour to reach a more relevant audience, but be careful about making assumptions. Check and challenge your analytics until you are sure you have found hard trends before cutting audience segments out.
    • Device: Tailor your ads for desktop, mobile, or tablet users. A website that does well with desktop traffic can often fail with mobile traffic due to the UX design of the site.

    Why it matters: Precise targeting ensures your ads are shown to the most relevant audience, increasing the likelihood of engagement and conversions.

    5. Bidding Strategy: Managing Your Budget

    Bidding strategy determines how much you’re willing to pay for each click on your ad. Common bidding strategies include:

    • Manual CPC: You set the maximum cost-per-click (CPC) for your ads.
    • Automatic Bidding: Let the platform adjust your bids to get the most clicks within your budget.
    • Enhanced CPC: Adjusts your manual bids to maximize conversions.
    • Target CPA: Focuses on getting as many conversions as possible at a target cost-per-action (CPA).
    • Target ROAS: Targets a specific return on ad spend (ROAS).

    Depending on what platform you are running your ads on there will be variations on the above. We will go over a number of these variations in our news, blog and case studies.

    Why it matters: An effective bidding strategy helps you manage your budget efficiently while maximizing the performance of your PPC campaigns.

    6. Ad Extensions: Enhancing Your Ads

    Ad extensions are additional pieces of information you can add to your PPC ads to make them more informative and appealing. Common types of ad extensions include:

    • Sitelink Extensions: Link to specific pages on your website.
    • Call Extensions: Add a phone number to your ad.
    • Location Extensions: Include your business address and a map.
    • Callout Extensions: Highlight key selling points or offers.

    Why it matters: Ad extensions make your ads more prominent and provide additional information that can increase click-through rates (CTR). This will form a large part of your early A/B testing phase if you have the resources available to use these. Something else to be careful of is the tracking of your conversions if you are taking your PPC/CTA offline. There are services we can employ to track this data such as number generation.

    7. Analytics and Tracking: Measuring Success

    Analytics and tracking are crucial for understanding the performance of your PPC campaigns. Key metrics to monitor include:

    • Click-Through Rate (CTR): The percentage of people who click on your ad after seeing it. This will help you see how appealing your ad is vs those around it.
    • Cost Per Click (CPC): The average amount you pay for each click. What you choose to spend will affect how big your budget needs to be and where your ad will show vs your bidding competitors.
    • Quality Score: A metric used that affects your ad rank and CPC. This is mostly based on the words you have chosen vs the target keyword and your domain relevancy rank.
    • Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): The revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising.
    • Conversion Rate: The percentage of clicks that result in a desired action, such as a sale or lead. You’ve now spent some of your budget, did you get the return you wanted? Make sure you give this rating enough time and budget to scope out, if you judge your campaigns too early then you may lose out on potentially valuable variations due to some bad leads. Other things may be affecting the campaign, such as time of day, time of year, target audience etc.

    Why it matters: Regularly analysing your PPC performance helps you identify what’s working and what’s not, allowing you to make data-driven adjustments to improve results.
