Owls have an unstinting stare, and you need one to manage an effective Pay-Per-Click Advertising campaign.

PPC is a way of advertisers appearing in the sponsored listings for search terms or phrases, by agreeing to pay a cost every time your ad is clicked on. It’s usually carried out in an auction whereby the advertiser willing to spend most money per click appears first for that term.

These are loads of benefits to PPC advertising as long as you make sure you keep an eye on your campaign and move with the times. Among them:

Instant Presence

Unlike SEO where a new site can take weeks or months to be recognised for certain terms, with PPC your ad can appear in a few minutes, visible to the world!

Exposure

PPC can give you instant global exposure - even if you ad isn’t clicked on you can still build a brand presence by appearing when the right terms are search on. That presence can be targeted to certain locations too.

Relevance

You can be sure your ad is being seen by the people you’re targeting - and you can take them directly to the page you want to.

Measurement and Testing

PPC campaigns are run on a PPC network and using the analytics tools you can get reports on anything and everything to do with your campaign.

At B&V Digital our paid search team have experience of running complex campaigns on Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing and Microsoft adCenter.

There’ll be no need to fret; with a strategy in place we can research and settle on search terms, manage a daily budget, construct a targeted campaign, write relevant ads and landing pages and measure and test the whole lot.

Clients have access to analytics throughout so can see how much they’re paying per click, how many clicks they get (and if those users go on to purchase/enquire), which search terms are most popular and so on.

Mistakes can be easy to make with PPC and we’ve come across plenty that have cost time and money.

There are plenty of successful companies that manage PPC Campaigns on their own therefore any SEO campaign working in harmony with a PPC campaign is the most likely way to get success and – what every business wants to hear – a better return on your investment.
