PPC Advertising | The Benefits

 

Experts say Paid Ads can generate 200% return on investment, and ultimately numbers don’t lie – PPC Advertising is a hugely worthwhile addition to any digital strategy. But we appreciate for those who haven’t used PPC Advertising before, it can be a daunting and somewhat intimidating task!

Is it really cost effective?

Is it more suited to certain sectors?

What if you have a tight budget?

We’ll breakdown some of the important facts about PPC, the main channels for PPC, and of course – the benefits of PPC. After all, the average internet user is exposed to 4,000 – 10,000 ads a day… so there is a LOT to play for.

 

// First thing’s first, what is PPC?

PPC stands for ‘Pay per Click’, and Pay-per-click is an internet advertising model used to drive traffic to websites, in which an advertiser pays a publisher when the ad is clicked. And that is essential here, you ONLY pay for advertising if your ad is actually clicked on – making it cost effective as you’re in control of what you pay for, how much you pay for it, and can weight budgets up or down dependant on performance.

Pay-per-click is usually associated with first-tier search engines. Speaking of…

 

// Is PPC exclusively on Google?

While Google is arguably the most popular platform for PPC Advertising, it is not the sole platform for PPC.

Pay per click advertising is a formula used on other platforms too – including:

• Google
• Bing / Microsoft
• Programmatic
• Social Media

With pay per click ads being so cost effective – allowing you to choose how much you pay, and what exactly you pay for – it is a very value-focused form of digital advertising. So most digital channels will offer a PPC option to prioritise return on ads spend (ROAS).
