What is PPC advertising?
Pay-Per-Click advertising is also known as paid media and is a way for you to attach your business to keywords related to your industry or your audience’s interests. Businesses bid more to use more competitive keywords, but your PPC platform only charges you when someone clicks on your ad and goes to your website, hence the name “pay-per-click”.
PPC advertising is an effective method of marketing whether you are a large company or a local store. It is a great way to level the playing field and get discovered by the right people.
Pay only when you generate clicks
Set budgets to make sure you never overspend
Target people specifically right for your business
Where can you run PPC advertising campaigns?
PPC advertising is growing in popularity and, as such, there are more and more options available. The primary platforms are TikTok, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn, and Google Ads. Where your ideal audience is hanging out will dictate which of these is the best option for you. We’re happy to help you find your audience if you are unsure where to advertise.
We work with the following ad platforms
TikTok Ads
TikTok’s unique and rapidly growing platform is perfect for reaching a younger audience through creative and interactive content. TikTok Ads can help brands tap into viral trends and leverage user-generated content to engage with users in a dynamic and authentic way.
Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram)
Meta’s platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, offer extensive targeting options based on user interests, behaviors, and demographics. With a diverse and engaged user base, Meta Ads are excellent for building brand awareness, community engagement, and driving conversions with visually rich ad formats.
LinkedIn Ads
LinkedIn’s professional network is ideal for B2B advertising, offering access to a vast audience of professionals and decision-makers. With LinkedIn Ads, you can target users based on job title, industry, company size, and more, making it a powerful platform for lead generation and brand building in the professional sphere.
Google Ads
As the most widely used search engine, Google offers unparalleled reach and intent-based targeting. Google Ads can capture users actively searching for products or services, providing timely and relevant ad placements that can drive both online and offline conversions.
YouTube Ads
As the second-largest search engine and a major video platform, YouTube offers a variety of ad formats to reach users based on viewing habits and interests. From in-stream ads to video discovery ads, YouTube is a powerful tool for building brand awareness and capturing user attention through engaging video content.
How to use PPC advertising
- Target your rivals! If you are one of two bake shops in your area, you can appear as an ad when someone searches for your competitor. This is widespread practice. Try searching for Uber and see how many competitors crop up!
- Target specific things related to your business. If you offer maternity yoga in Riverview, you might want to target Riverview women, aged 25-35, looking at maternity keywords.
- Target related things to grow your audience. If you offer sports massages, you could try targeting people searching for gyms, recovery tips, or even painkillers!
- Retarget website visitors. This is a highly strategy way to increase conversions. If someone visited, but didn’t buy, they can be persuaded to come back and finish their sale.
- Grow you newsletter audience. This has become standard practice in recent years as it is often considerably cheaper to optimize for newsletter subscriptions and then nurture your list to a sale than it is to target sales on your ad directly. Send people to a lead magnet or offer when they subscribe and let an optimized email marketing sequence woo them into purchasing.
We specialize in image and video advertising with compelling copy to maximize your conversions. We’ll also help you with the strategy to ensure you are targeting the right audience and the right goal for your business.

Best Practice As Standard
We offer:
Continuous Monitoring and Optimization: To ensure the success of your PPC campaigns, we use continuous monitoring and optimization. This proactive approach allows us to respond to data in real-time, making adjustments to improve performance and maximize return on investment (ROI). Our regular analysis of campaign metrics helps identify what’s working and what isn’t, enabling us to allocate your budget more effectively and capitalize on successful strategies.
A/B Testing Ad Creatives: A/B testing is a powerful tool in the PPC arsenal. By creating two versions of an ad and testing them against each other, we determine which elements resonate best with your audience. This might include variations in headlines, images, call-to-actions (CTAs), or even the overall messaging. A/B testing helps refine our ad creatives to enhance their performance, leading to higher engagement and conversion rates.
Adjusting Bids and Refining Audience Targeting: Bid adjustment is a critical component of PPC campaign management. By analyzing which keywords and placements are yielding the best results, we can adjust your bids to prioritize high-performing options and improve campaign efficiency. Refining audience targeting ensures that your ads are seen by users who are most likely to convert, based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and more, improving your conversion rate.

Understanding PPC Metrics and Analytics
Key PPC Metrics
Understanding PPC metrics is essential to gauge the success of your campaigns. If you are new to PPC Ads, we will happily bring you up to speed so you can fully understand our reporting.
Click-Through Rate (CTR) measures how often people click your ad after seeing it, serving as an indicator of ad relevance. Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) tracks the cost of converting a viewer into a customer, vital for understanding the effectiveness of your ad spend. Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) assesses the profitability of your PPC campaigns, helping you determine the overall return on your investment.
Interpreting Metrics for Campaign Adjustments
Interpreting these metrics allows you to make informed decisions about your PPC campaigns. A low CTR might suggest the need for better keyword alignment or more compelling ad copy, while a high CPA could indicate that your targeting needs refinement. Understanding ROAS is critical for budget allocation, ensuring you invest more in campaigns that deliver the best financial returns.
Customization and Personalization in PPC
The Power of Personalized Ad Experiences
PPC’s strength is in its personalization opportunities. Used effectively, it can significantly boost engagement and conversion rates. By tailoring ad messages to the interests, behaviours, and demographics of your target audience, you can create more relevant and compelling ad experiences. Personalized ads are more likely to resonate with users, leading to higher engagement and a stronger connection with your brand. It’s those moments when you see an ad and feel like it is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Customizing PPC Strategies
Customization is key to the success of your PPC campaigns. Whether it’s through creating industry-specific messaging, adjusting bids for different geographic locations, or targeting based on user behavior, each campaign should be tailored to meet the unique goals and needs of the client. For instance, a B2B company might benefit from a LinkedIn-focused strategy, while a B2C retailer might see better results with Google Shopping ads.
