SEE INSTANT RESULTS WITH PPC (PAY PER CLICK)

Digital advertising is using ditial tactics and channels to connect with customers online. In other worked, it's a strategy where you pay to reach prospects online.

One of the most cost-effective ways to advertise digitally is by using Pay-Per-Click (PPC). Google AdWords is the most common PPC platform. At On-Target!, our PPC marketing company is an expert at using this PPC platform to drive revenue.

Google claims that you do not need to spend a lot of money on AdWords to get a return on the investment. However, many people are paying for clicks that have zero likelihood of turning into a profit. Here are a few ways to adjust your strategy so you’re not wasting money by ensuring the right people are interacting with your digital marketing Adwords campaign.

Unfortunately, Google sometimes shows your ads on webpages that have nothing to do with your product. It’s important to regularly check on your display campaigns and look into the web placements your ad is appearing on. There are ‘Site Category’ options that allow you exclude certain types of sites so your ads don’t appear on them. This can include sites with sexually suggestive content, parked domains, error pages, etc.

With AdWords conversion tracking, you can see how effectively your ad clicks lead to valuable customer activity, such as website purchases, phone calls, app downloads, newsletter sign-ups, and more. Setting up conversion tracking is the easiest way to see what keywords are performing the best. Having the insight to focus your budget on these keywords can easily boost results, giving you direct insight into the ROI for your efforts. Simply put, without proper tracking in place, you cannot trace and promote the successful keywords.

Remarketing shows ads to people who've visited your website or used your mobile app. When people leave your website without buying anything, for example, remarketing helps you reconnect with them by showing relevant ads across their different devices. Whether you're looking to drive sales activity, increase registrations, or promote awareness of your brand, remarketing can be a strategic component of your advertising.

Investing your marketing budget in a PPC platform like Google AdWords can have a big impact on your business. According to Google, the average advertiser on AdWords makes two dollars for every dollar they spend. But how much should Google AdWords cost? This will of course depend on your industry niche, company size and quality score.

So what determines how much you pay per click? Google uses an auction-style bid to set their prices. For any given keyword, you have the top bidder – let’s say they bid $5 for someone to click on their ad. Then you have the next highest bidder who values a click at $4.50, another at $3.75, another at $3.00, and so on, all the way down to the last person who says that they value a click on their ad for that keyword at, let’s say, $2.25. Your bid along with the quality score of your website are taken into account to see which webpage gets the top positions.

Want your ads targeted to a specific location? Geotargeting allows your ads to appear in specific geographic locations that you choose such as: countries, states, cities, your business locations, or a radius around a specific location. Location targeting allows your advertising efforts to focus on areas where you’ll find the right customers.

30% of mobile searches are related to a location and 72% of consumers who did a local search visited a store within five miles.

Ever wonder why you see ads on a specific product after you do an online search for that product? Remarketing ads display content to people who’ve visited your website. When a visitor leaves your website without making a purchase, remarketing ads help you connect with them by showing relevant ads to serve as a billboard after they leave your website. Remarketing ads give you access to people when they’re interested in your product or service and helps reinforces your product in a very affordable way.

Demographic targeting allows you to reach a specific set of ideal customers who fit within a range of demographics such as: age, gender, household income, parental status. Demographic targeting allows you to narrow your target market, and focus your reach.
