PPC Service

PPC (Pay-Per-Click) is an online advertising method used to drive traffic to websites. Advertisers create ads and bid on specific keywords; when a user searches for those keywords or matches the target audience, the ad is displayed. If the user clicks on the ad, the advertiser pays a predetermined amount for that click.

How PPC Works

Keyword Research: Advertisers identify keywords relevant to their business and products. These keywords are terms that potential customers might use when searching online.

Ad Creation: Advertisers create compelling ads that attract potential customers. These ads typically include a headline, description, and a call-to-action.

Bidding: Advertisers bid on the chosen keywords. The bid amount can affect the ad’s placement and visibility. Higher bids can lead to better ad positions.

Ad Auction: When a user performs a search, an automated auction takes place to determine which ads will appear. This auction considers the bid amount and the ad’s quality score (relevance, click-through rate, and landing page quality).

Ad Display: The winning ads are displayed in the search results or on partner websites. These can be in the form of text ads, display ads, or shopping ads.

Clicks and Cost: When a user clicks on the ad, the advertiser pays the bid amount. This cost-per-click (CPC) can vary depending on the competition and the keyword’s value.
