A Beginner’s Guide to PPC Ad Campaigns
If you’ve seen a search engine results page (SERP) recently, you might have noticed the expanding real estate search engines like Google allocate to paid ads. Since Google started selling advertising space in 2000, search engine advertising campaigns have become a vital tool for companies determined to increase their online presence and boost revenues. Learning how to best put your marketing budget to use in this dynamic territory can be crucial to the success of your business.
What is PPC?
Pay-Per-Click, known simply as PPC, is a rapidly growing facet of search engine marketing. You encounter PPC ad campaigns on practically every Google SERP. PPC’s most noticeable footprint appears as “Ad” results at the top of the SERP, like the image below:
PPC vs SEO
Many businesses are aware of the importance of a robust Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy to reach the top of organic SERP listings. However, fewer take advantage of a combined SEO and PPC strategy.
In the example below, a SERP for the search term “king mattress” includes four paid ads before displaying organic results. Even though Mattress Firm’s King-Size Mattresses page is listed first organically, their business is likely losing several potential customers to PPC ads. Since users are increasingly more likely to click on prominent, high-placed PPC ads from national brands (in this case, Amazon), even high-ranking organic search results are bound to suffer.
