Introduction

If you are looking to grow your online business then PPC marketing would be a game changer. In digital marketing, there are lots of ways and methods to effectively grow your online business and get more visitors daily. But not all of them have the same effect, some of these methods can be a must-have method for constant and unstoppable future growth, and one of these methods is PPC marketing (Pay-Per-Click).

What is PPC Marketing?

PPC Marketing is a search engine-focused marketing method that allows you to show your content to people based on their search keywords. With keyword-based advertising, you will show up for people who search the keyword you're advertising your content on. For example, if you sell sneakers online, you can target specific keywords relevant to the product you are promoting (such as "casual sneaker"), and when a customer searches that phrase on Google (or whatever engine you are advertising on) your content shows up for them.

Why is PPC Marketing So Effective?

PPC marketing is a very effective way of advertising especially in the long run, because with a lot of traffic and relevant keyword targeting, you will end up reserving the top spot on Google for that keyword, which guarantees a free flow of traffic daily.

PPC targeting consists of targeting based on keywords only, so you have to focus on choosing the best relevant keywords for the content you are promoting. Always make sure that you are specific and don't widen your targeting to include people who won't be interested in your content so you don't end up paying for clicks that aren't beneficial for your business.

How to Set a Budget and Bidding Strategy

Budgeting and bidding are key factors in PPC marketing, with the right targeting and bidding strategy you will always end up winning with PPC marketing. Choosing the right budget is always dependent on your actual budget for the project, as well as your goal of the advertisement, additionally it is important to consider your estimated ROI (Return on Investment) and CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) to be able to put the most suitable budget for your ads.

For bidding, it is essential to have a good bidding strategy to come up with the best results possible, because this is what is going to determine how you will win over other competitors and show up in a spot instead of them. So always make sure that you choose the best bidding strategy which is also dependent on your business goals for these ads.

Crafting Compelling Ads

Another key factor of PPC marketing is the ad itself and what you include in it, from the ad's headline, description, creative (photo or video), as well as extension assets such as links and landing pages. Always make sure to use multiple headlines and descriptions to ensure having multiple options and testing more than one variation. The creative is also very important it is the most visible part of your ad and it should catch your customer's attention.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Broad Targeting: Avoid selecting overly broad keywords, as they might attract irrelevant traffic. Stick to specific, relevant keywords.

2. Neglecting Negative Keywords: Implement negative keywords to prevent your ad from appearing in searches that don’t align with your offerings.

3. Ignoring Data: Consistently monitor and adjust your campaign based on performance data. Tweaks to your bidding, ad copy, or keywords can lead to significant improvements.

Case Study

To give you an example of how PPC can boost your business significantly, let me share with you one of my previous experiences with one of my clients.

I managed a PPC campaign on Amazon for OulabiMir (a children's apparel brand), with this campaign we decided to enter a new market (the US market), and create our listings on Amazon, then rely on ads to get our listing to the top page of the keywords we are targeting, by focusing on putting this keyword in our listing's description and then target it with our PPC ads, using a budget of 20$ per day, and use highest bidding strategy, We achieved nearly 100 sales that month, with a click-through rate of 3%. Additionally, in a matter of a week, our listings were at the top of the keywords we were targeting.

Conclusion

In conclusion, PPC marketing is one of the main digital marketing methods that you should always consider with every business. With PPC marketing you can grow your business with the ad itself as well as get the opportunity to have a large flow of visitors daily when you eventually get a great spot of your relevant keywords on the search engine you're working on
