Top 5 Reasons Why Your Business Should Run PPC Ads
Google Ads (PPC) provide faster results because people are actively searching for the business category. This is an expression of buyer intent, which means the buyer is ready to purchase immediately or soon because they are actively looking for a solution to a problem. For every $1 spent on Google PPC Ads, businesses earn an average revenue of $2. These campaigns are excellent for promotions or events with finite dates.
Social media advertising attracts prospects however they are distracted because their original intent is to connect with friends, family, news, entertainment. This typically makes social media ads have a longer lifecycle then Google Ads however they are also very profitable for businesses as well and provide a competitive advantage because of expanded buyer interest targeting. SEO also has a longer lifecycle; however, it can bring more consistent website traffic organically. Google Ads add an advantage as well because it stirs buyer interest in your website as well and brings “spiked” and increased campaign traffic for set periods of time.
Google Ads also creates faster results through its Search Network campaign. Therefore your ad will appear Google Search, Maps, Gmail, and hundreds of other Google search partners. People can see your Ads while watching YouTube and Google Shopping. These ad outlets make it easier to found through keywords during your campaign.
The benefits of using Google Ads for your campaigns is that you are paying for direct results from the set limit of your ad spend. This is beneficial because you will only be charged for ad interaction. This provides you an opportunity for conversions.
Retargeting is the number 1 strategy to reduce ad cost. It has been stated that even a buyer online has to see your brand 8-10 times before making a purchase. Although this may not be 100 percent true it certainly has significance. This ad strategy reinforces the strength of your brand in buyers minds by building trust and warms them up to your product or service offerings. Furthermore, retargeting ads increase the chances of attracting existing clients to purchase at a rate of 60-70 percent.
One of the hidden advantages of Google Ads is that it builds brand awareness. What is unique about running Google Ad (PPC) campaigns is that your Ad will show up in the top 5 results on a Google search page. Prospects will be searching with relevant and targeted keywords to find your services which allows more opportunities for clicks and conversions.
In many cases businesses do not prioritize getting business reviews and this is a way to take advantage of quick conversions and increase your reputation management as well by seeking testimonials from new customers who have experienced your brand and products in a shorter period of time.
Before your ads are all geared up to launch, it is important to ensure that you can see “the ending before the beginning”. Essentially that means it is important to make sure your processes are strategic. A landing page is more strategic than your website. A website should capture all your services; however, a landing page should capture specific product or similar products. For example, a real estate agency that does commercial and residential sales will have two different types of clients who are looking separate user experiences in a post-click landing page experience. If a prospect visits the landing page expecting to see everything about a home buying experience and the ability to search for properties, then that should be the extent of your landing page. This will be a positive factor that will increase your conversions, Ad Rank, position in the Ad auction, and CPC. In addition, it is also important to track your visitors through the full sales lifecycle from the point of clicking to purchase. This will provide you an opportunity to analyze the data and pick winning and losing ads so you can focus on improving performance.
Google Display Network
Google Display Ads Network can help you promote your business when people are browsing online, checking their Gmail, watching YouTube videos, using mobile devices and apps. The Google Display network is powerful because it reaches 90 percent of internet users worldwide, which includes millions of websites, blogs, news pages. Display ads are the ones that we usually come across on websites. Not particularly the website of the business, but on multiple websites.

It is not necessarily something they are searching for, but the ad will intrigue them, and they will click on the link to visit your website. Our agency also encourages advertising both Google Ads and Social Media Ads (Facebook, Instagram, etc) to create an “Omnipresent” experience which will also include retargeting. We have discovered that this ad strategy approach also makes your ad cost become more competitive and reduce the overall cost of your campaign.
