Written by Mark Hullin | Oct 20, 2020 6:30:00 AM

Pay Per Click advertising is a form of paid digital advertising where marketers pay a fee every time their ad is clicked on. The phrase PPC can also relate to paid ads on social media networks, such as Facebook, and LinkedIn. However, in this article, I'm focussing on Google Ads, that helps your ads feature prominently to searchers, showing them at the top and right-hand side of Google’s search results.

But first, is Pay Per Click Advertising Right for Your company?

To determine if PPC is a great fit for your organisation you have got to first consider if you can afford it. Have you got a budget for paid advertising or do you want to concentrate on increasing your organic reach? In the event you have a paid budget is it a smart move to spend the whole sum on PPC or will there be other paid tactics you have to consider?

Pay Per Click Advertising is an effective choice if you'd like to reach individuals who are actively researching words and phrases relevant to your company. If you choose to create a PPC campaign, your spending plan will be decided by your target audience, competitors, and the sorts of products/services you want to drive awareness of.
