The ABCs of PPC

Pay-per-click advertising is exactly what it sounds like: Each time someone clicks on one of your ads, you pay a small fee to the platform that published the ad.

Across the industry, the average click-through rate for paid ads is 0.34% for display ads such as banners, and approximately 2% for search. While this may not seem high compared to organic CTR, conversion rates for paid ads can be anywhere from 50% to 150% higher on average than organic content.

The secret to managing a highly effective PPC campaign that will yield a relatively high CTR, a strong conversion rate and, ultimately, ROI is to use paid ads as one facet of a cohesive marketing strategy.

Each PPC campaign should somehow serve a specific function and have clearly established success metrics.

What is White-Label PPC?

White-label PPC is just a fancy way of saying third-party PPC management. Brafton will manage your digital advertising budget and help allocate spend to the most effective networks. This PPC optimisation will help ensure that your digital ad campaigns target the right audience on the right networks.

Google Ads

Google and Google-owned YouTube occupy an estimated 23.1% of all ad spend, digital and traditional. The search engine giant sells PPC ads on a display network and on its search engine network, which reaches 90% of all internet users. It also boasts some of the highest CTRs of all ad networks. At Brafton, we help manage Google search and display ads in all of the following ways:

  • Target audience identification.
  • Retargeting management.
  • Keyword selection.
  • Meta description optimisation.
  • Ad landing page optimisation.
  • A/B testing.
  • Banner ad design.
  • Campaign performance monitoring.
  • Google shopping campaign management.
  • Gmail ads.
  • Local Services by Google.

Our PPC consultants also collaborate with content strategists to help improve the Quality Score of each ad landing page. A strong Quality Score is the result of relevant, keyword-optimised landing page copy, and it can help you win bids at a lower CPC. We also ensure that landing page UX is optimised to convert site visitors.

Retargeting Ads

Ads are most effective when they target leads that have already expressed interest in the types of products and services you sell. Retargeting networks use cookies and third-party data to match your ad content up with web users’ based on their browsing behaviours.

At Brafton, our PPC consultants manage and optimise ad spend across retargeting networks to help you get your ad content in front of potential customers. We use platforms such as AdRoll to support your remarketing efforts and drive up conversion rates.

Syndication Networks

Paid syndication extends your content across third-party sites, helping to get your brand’s messaging in front of a larger audience of web users. Our PPC consultants leverage networks such as Taboola and Outbrain to get your content listed on other websites so that you can tap into their existing audiences.

Video Ads

Brafton’s full-service video team can script, produce, shoot and edit video ads that demonstrate the value of your products and services. Our PPC managers can then help you distribute the ad across relevant channels to maximise exposure.
