Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Marketing

5 Beneficial Tips for your small business’s PPC Marketing 

Have Clear Goals for Your PPC Strategy:

Set S.M.A.R.T goals for your marketing campaigns. What is S.M.A.R.T goals?

Smart– Must have Clear and well-defined goals.

Measurable– Goals that have measurable parameters in line with business’s goals.

Achievable– Goals must be achievable and not vague.

Relevant– Goals must be relevant in the direction your marketing campaign is taking.

Timely– Goals should have clear deadlines to help you stay on track.

Target the right Keyword and Audience:

Using broad keywords will increase your chances of reaching more customers. Not only is this a waste of time, but it also has terrible ROI. Be as specific as possible with the target keywords. For example: “Best SEO agency” is a very broad term with a huge Cost-per-click instead use “Best SEO agency in Plano” This will not only cost less. But will ensure the right people who see your ads are actually looking for business/services like yours.

Include Clickable Calls-To-Action:

A call to action directs your potential customers which directs potential customers to take next steps and moves the user to down the sales funnel. There can also be multiple calls to action on a page if there are multiple desired actions for the user to take. Be creative and persuasive while writing call-to-action for your advertising campaign.

Monitor the Results Closely:

Once you have the ad campaign published with the right keywords, media and target audience, your work doesn’t stop here. In fact, it is the beginning of real time learning of what works and not works for your small business. Review the metrics through Google Ads, Google Analytics closely and tie things back to your KPIs and Goals.
