PPC stands for pay-per-click, a digital marketing campaign type where advertisers pay a fee for each click that their ad receives. Search engine marketing is one of the most common forms of PPC advertising, as it targets popular search phrases and terms to drive website traffic. Social Media sites like Facebook also offer PPC campaigns, as PPC is an excellent way to focus on a target market and get the most out of a paid marketing budget.

Quality score is a metric used by search engines to determine the cost-per-click (CPC) of advertisements. Quality score is formulated by a variety of factors such as relevant content on home pages and landing pages, CTR, keyword relevance, advertisement text, and your overall Google Ad performance. A higher Quality Score leads to lower CPCs and better ROI for your ad budget.

For Google Adwords, your campaign will be made up of one or more ad groups. Each ad group shares a similar target and likely leads to the same landing page or homepage on your site. Each ad group has its own separate keyword list. Our Google Ads and Bing Ads team use Single Keyword Ad Groups to help you drive qualified website traffic and leads at a lower cost.

Negative keywords are those terms that you do not want your PPC ads to appear for. Negative keywords are used to improve the performance of a campaign by ensuring that ads don’t show up for irrelevant keywords when broad & phrase matching is utilized. Your project manager will identify the negative keywords associated with your ad group to ensure that your Google ads only appear in front of the right people who are most likely to convert.

Remarketing (also known as retargeting) is a form of targeted advertising where online ads are shown to users or searchers based on their previous internet actions. This allows PPC ad creators to create increasingly relevant ads for a target customer to increase their likelihood of re-engagement and conversion. Our ppc management company uses retargeting to get people back into the sales funnel if they visited your website or abandoned an order previously.
