Keys To A Successful

Paid Media Campaign

Selection Of The Proper Keywords

The keywords you target (and pay for) must be specific to what you are offering on your website. If you are a retailer, make sure that people who are looking for the products you sell are funnelled directly to a page where that purchase can be facilitated.

Landing Page Creation and Optimization

Each landing page should be tailored to your unique products or services and optimized for the keywords you’re targeting in your paid media efforts. With each ad campaign that you drive visitors to your site with, each landing page should be relevant to the content in that campaign.

Ongoing Analysis

Whether you’re running a paid search campaign, or a social media advertising campaign, it’s essential that the proper reporting is completed. This way, we can identify what works best for driving conversions and reaching your goals and optimize your campaigns based on those findings on a regular basis.

Enhanced Targeting

With Paid Media Marketing

Another great advantage of Pay Per Click advertising is the flexibility it offers in terms of delivery. There are a number of PPC techniques you can use to create an audience that is most likely to be your target audience:

Keyword Targeting

Uses keywords designed to direct visitors who are likely to be interested in your products and services.

Relevance:

It is critical that the keywords selected are relevant to your company. Nothing frustrates a visitor more than being sent to a site that has nothing to do with his search. Even if the visitor leaves immediately, you’ve still paid for the click. The landing page for each PPC ad should be highly relevant to the search.

Matching Options:

You can specify whether to bid on broad match keywords, (e.g. a bid on “website design”) will show your ads for the query “website design company”, but also “website design awards”, or narrow your targeting with phrase match and exact match. You can also specify negative keywords, (e.g. setting the negative keyword “jobs” in an ad group with the broad match keyword “website design” will display your ad for the query “website design company”, but not “website design jobs”.

Geographical Granularity

If you have a business that only services a certain area, it’s only logical that you want to advertise to the area you service.

PPC gives the ability to have deep control over your targeted traffic. Unlike organic traffic (search results, social, or referral), if you are only looking to attract local customers, you can specify that your ad runs only on results geared to your neighbourhood, your city or your state (i.e. London Dentist).

Timing

Successful PPC management is all about proper targeting. The potential audience for a PPC ad is huge, but you want to zero in on the right people who are ready to take action at the moment they see your ad. One method for targeting users when they are most likely to take action is called Ad Scheduling.

PPC allows you to deliver ads only at peak times for finding your potential clients and customers.
