WHAT IS
GOOGLE PPC?
Google Pay-Per-Click, commonly known as Google PPC, is an online advertising model that allows businesses to display their ads on Google’s search engine results pages (SERPs). It operates through the Google Ads dashboard, which is a powerful advertising platform that enables you to create, manage, and optimise your promotion/advert to appear on page one, as a ‘sponsored advert’ link above the standard search listings. In recent years PPC has become a more cost effective way to get listed on ‘page one’ rather than going to the expense of regular organic search engine optimisation. It has now become extremely expensive to get first page results from regular SEO work (getting backlinks and writing articles, etc). Due to the  ever changing algorithms and web page rules that Google introduces on an ongoing basis, it now makes more sense to simply use Google PPC to get your ‘page one listing’. Which ‘suspiciously’…  plays right into Google’s monetisation plans for their search engine, now that we have all become so dependent on it.
Boost traffic to your website…
Google PPC offers businesses a highly targeted and measurable way to reach your target audience. You can select specific keywords related to your products or services, ensuring that your advert (website link) will appear at the top of the page, when users search for specific terms related to your business. This highly targeting capability helps you and your business to effectly push promotional search listing to potential customers who are actively seeking information or solutions related to what your business is offering. This targeted placement (rather than random placement) increases the likelihood of new customer conversions. In addition, the Google PPC targeted demographic tools, allow us to define the exact audience to target. This can save you money by avoiding incorrect placements of your advert based on factors such as location, language, device, and other demographics, enabling you to tailor each advertising campaign to specific customer criteria.
