Pay-per-click advertising run by an experienced and skilled PPC agency can make a huge impact on your company's bottom line. This non-organic form of advertising requires a high level of research before the setting up of campaigns and ongoing maintenance, data collection, analysis, and performance tweaks done to get the best results possible. PPC advertisers pay for every click on their ad based on desired budget and associated costs from the platform itself.

If the person setting up the campaigns makes mistakes, costs can skyrocket quickly. Your best bet is to put paid search ads in the hands of the experts. In order to prevent this serious issue, follow this step-by-step list to create an effective and profitable PPC marketing strategy.

1. Plan PPC Ad Campaign Goals

What do you want out of your next PPC ad campaign? As with all marketing efforts, you need specific and measurable goals, like boosting company growth or increasing sales and profits. However, these are not exact enough to fuel pay-per-click paid ads. Think about more precise goals like increasing website traffic numbers, targeting a new demographic or market group, bringing attention to a particular product line, or getting more newsletter sign-ups.

2. Identify Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Key performance indicators align with the goals mentioned in step one. You need to define what these are when planning digital marketing strategies so you know what data to look at after the PPC campaign launch. It is also important to figure out how much you can spend on each click in order to reach the KPI levels you want. Keep things realistic by comparing how much a click that helps you reach a KPI will cost and how much your revenue your brand should bring in.

3. Choose Specific Keyword Targets

Choosing a keyword for a paid search campaign can be a tricky process. There are many factors to consider, including the search query, your industry, and the type of customer you’re trying to reach. The most important factor to keep in mind is that you must choose a keyword specific enough to be relevant to your business while also competitive enough to have a high search volume. This helps keep overall PPC campaign costs down.

4. Define Target Audience Focus

Target Audience for SEO

Defining your target audience for PPC is a crucial step. Before you start any type of paid ad, you need to know a lot of information about your ideal customer or client. Various ad platforms let you choose different specific details that define your targets. These can include anything from simple demographics like age or income level to precise data like geographic location and whether the person has already clicked on your ad or visited your website.

5. Write Engaging Ad Text

Paid search ads usually give you the opportunity to write one or two sentences that describe the link you want to promote. On Google and other search engines, this may align with the meta-description of the page you link to. For social media platforms like Facebook, your text ad is separately defined. Follow the rules about what you can contain, how many words or characters you can use, and other specific requirements for the ad copy. Make it engaging, keyword-rich, and relevant to the types of things that your target audience will search for.

6. Launch the PPC Campaigns

You may think that the launch is the final step in the overall marketing strategy. However, this is not true. This step focuses more on getting data about what works and what doesn’t so you can improve your settings, minimize costs, and maximize profit in the end. Keep a careful eye on your per-click prices and total overall budget to ensure profitability down the road.

7. Collect Data, Tweak Settings, and Boost Results

Pay-per-click ad platforms give you a huge amount of data to track and analyze. If you hire a reputable agency, they will take care of this for you on an ongoing basis. This is an essential part of your strategy because consumer interest waxes and wanes, their online search habits change, and competitors can enter the market and get more attention. The optimization process for paid ad campaigns helps test things with low budgets before risking more. Maintenance doesn’t have to take a long time if you know how to collect and analyze the data on the different platforms.

The best PPC agencies have experienced and knowledgeable experts who understand how important it is to research, from the perfect long-tail keyword phrase to the precise demographics and psychographics of your target audience. They also know how important data collection and analysis are for the ultimate success of any pay-per-click marketing strategy. You can’t set things up once and then ignore them, or you won’t get the results you’re looking for.
