PPC Campaigns & Digital Advertising
Get your brand in front of customers actively seeking the products and services you offer.
What Industries Should Use Digital Advertising?
​
Nearly any brand can benefit from PPC (pay-per-click) and digital marketing campaigns. The decision should come down to how much you are willing to spend and how quickly you are looking to attract new customers.
Data-Driven Campaigns, Cost Effective Marketing
Sometimes the fastest way to bring awareness to your website and products is through paid campaigns. Digital advertising has the unique ability to target potential customers through every step of the buying funnel. By mixing and matching a data-driven campaign approach based on customer search behavior and research trends, brands are able to deliver messages that will resonate closely with their audience when it matters most. These campaigns can be even stronger when coupled with an organic SEO program.

Types of Digital Advertising Campaigns
Display Ads
Visual banner ads are shown alongside other website content based on your targeted audience traits (behavioral targeting) or relevant website content related to the topic (contextual targeting).
Video Ads
Often shown on Facebook and YouTube, these ads tend to be shown to users while they are consuming other video and social content.
Sponsorships
These "ads" are typically a flat annual fee, are for specific charities, and may only display a logo or link. Sponsorships often help with organic SEO.
Search Ads
Text ads are displayed in Google and Bing when an audience in your targeted location searches for keywords that have been selected based on data-driven research.
Social Media Ads
Ads are displayed to tightly targeted audiences alongside social content on channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Local Search Ads
Ads are shown within Google Maps alongside organic Google Business Profile listings for searches in your physical geographic location.
Native Ads
Ads are designed to look like content on the targeted web page are incorporated as sponsored stories. These ads often do not look like typical digital ads.
Remarketing
Ads are shown to users that have already visited your website, but may not have completed the desired goal. These may be on other websites or within Google.
Shopping Campaigns
Products are displayed in Google based on keyword searches. Details such as price, promotions, and reviews help businesses stand out from the competition.
PPC Budgets & Optimization
While digital marketing campaigns allow businesses to be very flexible with their budgets, it is important to understand your cost to be competitive within your industry. According to Wordstream, industries such as lawyers may end up paying nearly seven dollars per click or over $100 per acquisition.
​
To make matters more complicated, over the years Google has changed how tightly you can target searcher's keywords and often results in wasted budget on irrelevant words if you are not regularly monitoring and making updates in the campaigns.
