Use PPC to put your business front and centre, where everyone can see it.
Pay for what works, and nothing else. Pay per click.
Advertising has been revolutionised, so don’t get left behind.
Wait, but what is PPC?
Imagine placing an ad in a newspaper without having to pay unless someone actually reads it. Impossible? Well…
Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising is exactly what it sounds like. It is a way for you to place an ad online, but only pay a fee each time it is clicked on. To oversimplify this model of internet marketing, it is a way for you to buy visits to your website.
PPC advertising works by displaying ads to users based on their search queries, interests, and other demographic information. Ads are displayed on search engine results pages (SERPs), websites, and other digital platforms, and you only pay when a user clicks on their ad. The amount you pay for each click is determined by a bidding process, where you compete for the top ad positions by offering the highest bids for certain keywords and phrases.
One of the most popular PPC platforms is Google Ads, which allows businesses to create and display ads on Google’s SERPs and other websites in the Google Network.
Google Ads operates on a bidding system, where businesses bid on specific keywords and the highest bidder gets to display its ad at the top of the page.
So, with this form of advertising, you are benefitting greatly because you are reaching your specific target audience, you only pay when an ad is clicked on, you can measure the results and use this information to fine-tune your digital marketing strategy.
