PAID SEARCH

PAID SEARCH

Paid search marketing/advertising is a broad term that can be distilled to a simple definition:
“Advertising within a sponsored listing of a search engine or a partner site by paying either each time your ad is clicked (pay-per-click – PPC) or less commonly, when your ad is displayed (cost-per-impression – CPM)”

Cost-per-click (CPC): Your ad appears on the search result page and you pay the search engine for each time someone clicks on your ad.
Cost-per-impression (CPM): Your ad appears on the display network and you pay the search engine for every 1,000 times your ad appears on the page. You do not pay for clicks rather per page impressions.
Traditionally, CPC is best used for getting leads and sales and CPM is used when you want to generate brand awareness.

There are many ways you can use paid search marketing but most of the relevant traffic and prospective clients can be found on the following platforms:

Google Adwords PPC / CPC

Google commands about 70% of all search traffic and their Adwords platform offers advertisers placement on their search network as well as their display network. For more information go to Google Adwords PPC

Bing Ads

Bing is the 2nd biggest search engine in terms of traffic as it gets roughly around 15% of all search. Bing Ads offer a very similar platform to Google’s but they do not have a display network capability. For more information go to Bing Ads

There are a few main reasons you should consider paid search marketing:

  1. Fast. Paid search campaign can be up and running within a few days or few hours so if you want to get immediate traffic, leads and clients, paid search is an obvious choice.
  2. Easy to measure ROI. With paid search you can have exact tracking to measure cost per lead, cost per sale, the path the user taken, the ads they clicked on etc. You have full information to help you make more sales and know if your campaign is successful or not.
