The Ins and Outs of Pay Per Click Advertising

Before we take the plunge, let’s make sure we’re on the same wavelength. Pay per click (PPC) advertising allows you to showcase your goods with ads that appear high up on search engine results pages—like Google (ever heard of it?) bing, and yahoo—and get charged a fee each time someone clicks on your ad. Worth the price? Abso-freaking-lutely! Unless you don’t want a ton of new clients calling you, then stop reading right now.

Slaying the Google Ads Dragon

You’ve got to start somewhere, and Google Ads (formerly AdWords) is the PPC platform. It’s like the Goliath, and you’re the David (but trust us, you’ve got a pretty sweet slingshot). Here’s what you need to do:

1. 1. Keyword Research: Channel your inner Indiana Jones and dig out those precious keywords that your target audience is likely to search for. Use tools like Google’s Keyword Planner, Jaaxy, or Quinncee’s rockstar research squad (hint, hint).

1. 1. Create a Google Ads account: Brace yourself for the mind-numbing verification process, but it’s all worth it.

Ad Extensions and Landing Pages: Sprinkle Some PPC Magic

Nothing says “extra mile” like ad extensions and well-designed landing pages. Extensions give your ads more real estate on SERPs, while an optimized landing page ensures a seamless transition from ad to action.
