Pay per click (PPC) is an online advertising technique where you pay for every person who clicks through an ad or link to your page. The benefit is that you only pay for the people who actually click through but there is a significant downside in that, if you don’t get the keywords and terms right you will actually end up paying for users who click through but who are actually looking for something completely different. For example, if you ran a site selling cat accessories for women you might end up being caught in a search for Catwoman from the Batman comic books. Not what you would want and a waste of your money.
It is very important that you measure the effectiveness of your campaigns and find out what is working for you and what isn’t. We regularly test different landing pages, different ads, different keywords and then go back to see how they have performed against other combinations. And this is not just about getting more visitors, though that is important, but also about making more sales or achieving other specific goals such as gaining more subscribers. Google provides excellent free analytics tools and we make full use of these for our clients.
We will explore every angle and source to make your business more competitive and successful. Because that is what a good partner does.
