Formerly branded as “AdWords,” the recently rebranded “Google Ads” is a service that, at its core, provides better leads to businesses and sales teams than Organic Traffic can.

PPC stands for pay-per-click, a model of internet marketing in which advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. Essentially, it’s a way of buying visits to your site, rather than attempting to “earn” those visits organically.

When PPC is working correctly, the fee is trivial, because the visit is worth more than what you pay for it.

PPC Health & ROI

PPC ads’ with the highest ROI involve thorough and regular attention to the campaign’s behavior and health. The health of a campaign is measured comprehensively by a few factors.

A common way to measure the success of a PPC campaign is by tracking and analyzing conversions. Conversions are any meaningful action completed by a visitor on your website.

A successful PPC campaign will have a succinct understanding of the target audience, and its relation to the advertiser’s unique business goals.

Keyword relevance trends are constantly evolving; therefore, ongoing keyword research is necessary to remain competitive. Search engine algorithms favor eye catching copy and prefer to direct users to websites with credible Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Healthy PPC campaigns also require a competent bidding strategy to help secure ad placement at the top of the search results. Profitable PPC ad campaigns do not require a massive ad spend budget— instead, precise, and careful management of campaign factors.
