A well-managed pay-per-click advertising campaign is one of the most reliable ways to increase qualified website traffic and leads through search engines and social media platforms.
What is pay-per-click advertising?
Pay-per-click (PPC) is a digital advertising model in which ads are displayed to users in search results based on keywords that the advertiser “bids” on. Displaying the ads are free — the advertiser only pays when a user clicks on the ad. This model is used on search engines like Google, as well as social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.
Because the vast majority of users do not read “below the fold” of the page, let alone past the first page of search engine results, PPC allows you to attain ad placements at the top of results pages for even the most competitive keywords. These ads display in a similar format as typical organic results, but they will have an extra flourish to (in the case of Google search results, it’s a little “Ad” label in the corner).

Search marketing FAQ
What is a negative keyword?
Also known as a “negative match,” negative keywords prevent your ad from showing up in searches containing certain words. Negative keywords are useful because they allow you to finetune the audience of your ad and maximize your ROI.
Example: Imagine you are a commercial roof contractor who exclusively works on large-scale commercial roofing projects — no single-family residential roofs. You might want “roof replacement” to be one of your keywords, but you don’t want to waste your money on clicks from residential homeowners. If you selected “residential” as a negative keyword, your ad would be less likely to display to a homeowner searching for a roofing contractor to replace the roof on their single-family home.
How does geo-targeting work?
Geo-targeting is yet another tool for refining the audience of your PPC ad and increasing your ROI. You can choose to display your ad only areas where your product/service is most relevant, and similar to negative keywords, you can also restrict which locations your ad shows up for.
What is remarketing?
Remarketing is a tactic used by digital advertisers to bring potential customers back to websites after they’ve left. Because remarketing specifically targets prospects who have previously displayed an interest in the brand, conversion rates for remarketing are often higher than ads that are not personalized in this way.
