PPC is an important part of digital marketing. It’s an effective way to reach people who are looking for exactly what you have to offer and it gives quick results. Although small businesses are still apprehensive about it and still rely on organic search rankings. We can not really blame them as they generally operate on smaller budgets and they might think that PPC can be expensive for them.

But that’s a big myth, free methods can bring good results but if you want great results for your business you should consider using paid methods as well. If you look at the ROI of PPC ads it’s very high as the investment is not much as it looks and the results can be significant and steady.

In this blog, we are going to talk about PPC and list out the major benefits that why you should consider using PPC for your business.

What is Pay per Click advertising

As the name suggests, PPC is hosting your ad on a platform and paying only when it gets clicked. It’s nothing but a well researched and customized ad made to attract only targeted prospective customers.

On google search network you can list your ads by bidding for keywords that are relevant to your business. The position for your ad is determined by the amount you are willing to pay, the amount your competitors are willing to pay and your quality score based on your click-through rate, relevance and landing page quality.

It’s a win-win situation for searchers as they get highly relevant searches for what they are looking for and for advertisers as their ads get displayed in front of people who are literally looking for it.

Reasons to use PPC for your business-

It allows you to have the first exposure in front of your customers  

Some research shows that the first five results get more than 60% clicks and so pay per click advertising helps you to be among the first few links your prospective clients may click on. You can achieve this by researching on keywords and figuring out which ones your customers will be searching to find your services.

It allows you to reach your targeted audiences

With PPC you can get connected to your targeted audiences, and the more the targeted traffic, the better is the chance of converting them to clients.

Google AdWords let you define your audience based on their city, town, a country where your business trades. You can also schedule your ads for limited hours in a day depending on your operational hours.

If your call to action is to get users to call, you can limit your targeting to show ads only on mobile devices.

You will be saved from spending money on audiences who are not interested in your product/service.

Organic search results take time to build your search rankings but PPC can generate traffic and conversions right away.

You can have complete control

You can set your own budget, determining how much you want to spend on a daily basis. If your current ad is not attracting your target market then you can change it until you get the right combination of keywords and ad texts.
