Pay per click advertising, also known as PPC, is a type of search engine or social media marketing that is designed to drive traffic to your website or other online properties. Ads are generally tailored to promote what you want to sell and you will pay each time someone clicks on your ad. In this blog, we answer some frequently asked questions about PPC advertising:

  • What Are The Advantages Of PPC Advertising?

In a world where there are so many websites and social media platforms, it is hard to stand out from your competition. With Google AdWords, for example, you can get your ads on the first page of Google with PPC advertising. If you were to try to claim a first page position with organic SEO, it would require much more effort in terms of content generation, link building and other SEO initiatives. PPC usually works best when it is done in conjunction with an SEO strategy.

  • Why Would You Use Facebook Ads As Opposed To Google AdWords?

Both Facebook ads and Google AdWords have their own uses in the digital marketing space. With Google AdWords, your PPC ads will appear to people who are using the search engine to find information about something they are interested in. With Facebook ads, your ads can appear in the news feeds of your target audience. You could decide to create an audience of women between the ages of 18 to 25 who are interested in horse riding, for example, if you are selling horse riding lessons in a certain area. Facebook ads offer a lot of customization, where Google AdWords can bring your products or services under the attention of someone who is looking for what you have to offer. Your best bet is to work with an experienced PPC manager to create a comprehensive PPC plan that can help you get as much exposure as possible.
