10 Reasons why you need a pay per click campaign

So, what exactly is pay per click?

Pay per click, or PPC as we refer to it here, is a type of sponsored online advertising. With pay per click, you can promote your business in search engines or on high traffic websites. It is designed to increase traffic to your website, generate leads, and drive sales.

Think about it… when you want to find something online, what do you do? Use a search engine. Google accounts for 95% of mobile PPC ads. That’s pretty compelling! So, when your product or service is searched for, we use pay per click campaigns to make sure you are right there for your customer to find.

Here’s an example of a PPC advert. The search term ‘running shoes’ produces results for Nike first, which tells us that they are:

a) bidding highly on the term, and

b) that Google deems their website to be extremely relevant to what’s being searched for.
