We help your business get more sales through effective PPC advertising, creating ads and ad campaigns focused on delivering your business objectives.

Why use PPC advertising?

You can get a Pay Per Click campaign up and running quickly and see an immediate impact. This contrasts with SEO, for instance, which often takes a lot of time and effort to get results over much longer timescales.

• PPC also allows you to target narrow or wide audiences and, unlike email or organic social media, to target people not yet aware of your brand.
   
• It’s measurable, flexible (easy to scale up or down), and gives a wealth of marketing data that can inform your SEO and content marketing strategies.
   
• It also works well with other channels, particularly SEO.

Our approach to PPC advertising:

Understanding the objectives of a PPC ad – and the motivations of its target audience – are critical to creating successful campaigns. We carry out extensive research and analysis to help identify the keywords that will attract the right audience and generate high-quality clicks.
 

We subscribe to the late advertising great David Ogilvy’s view that ‘What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form.' Combining attention-grabbing headlines and persuasive ad descriptions that incorporate keywords effectively are key elements of a successful ad.
 

Identifying the target market, understanding search intent and the best PPC channels to reach them are crucial to success. Ongoing monitoring, evaluation and data analysis helps refine targeting to ensure ads reach the most relevant audience.

Optimising landing pages is crucial for converting interest into action (turning clicks into conversions). Creating relevant and engaging landing page content, user-friendly layouts, and effective calls-to-action all help to maximise conversion rates.

We don’t ‘set and forget’! Ongoing monitoring, evaluation and analysis of ad and campaign performance is crucial to continued success and improving Return On Investment.
 

To drive better results over time we recommend testing ad variations and targeting to help improve performance. Doing this can help uncover new opportunities as well as learning that can be fed into existing ads or campaigns to help improve them.
