What Is PPC

PPC or pay per click is a form of online marketing where advertisers pay a certain amount of money each time their ad is clicked. 

PPC is an effective strategy to buy relevant traffic to your website. It works really well for commercial intent keywords. Those are keywords that have an obvious buying intent, such as hire a traffic lawyer near me or buy pool cleaning supplies.

Pay Per Click Advertising For Contractors & SMBs

In theory, pay per click advertising is an attractive model. You put in an amount of money, bring interested visitors to your website or web property and convert them into paying customers. The initial investment brings a very decent profit and everyone is happy.

In reality, PPC campaigns are hard to manage:

  • you have to know which keywords to target
  • you need to create a logical account structure
  • you need to use advanced targeting and exclusion options
  • you have to monitor campaigns that have hundreds or thousands of keywords
  • you need to design relevant landing pages
  • you have to track the results really well
  • based on the data acquired, you need to take campaign optimization decisions
