What Do PPC Management Agencies Really Do?

In this age, you can’t afford to ignore PPC – whether you’re a managing director, considering outsourcing, or a head of marketing going at it with your in-house marketing team, you first need to know what PPC management agencies do. 

If you’re looking to outsource, and wondering what to ask a PPC company before you sign that all-important contract, see our blog here. 

Research your audience

The first step towards a successful PPC ad campaign is knowing and researching the target audience. You may already have some information collected about your target audience, this should be shared with any outsourced PPC management team. This includes audience search behaviour, keywords targeted and how users interact with your landing page once they end up on it. 

If you’re starting PPC entirely from scratch, a PPC agency will help conduct all necessary research. 

Create Visual Display Ads

Sometimes, you may work with a PPC company that specialises in creating display ads. The difference between PPC and Visual Ads is their location. PPC ads appear on search results ranked by keywords bids and the quality of the landing page. Display ads appear on websites which share relevant keywords. 

You may also be curious about implementing Google Shopping ads, which appear most commonly at the top of SERPs (search engine results pages). These ads cannot be bid on by you or a digital agency, but you can still target your ideal audience by submitting optimised feeds, product details, a negative keywords list, and an accurate title description to influence others online to view your products. If this is something you are interested in, ensure your chosen agency specialises in this.

Most businesses tend to stick by the PPC route, as 43% of PPC marketers have admitted that display ads are their least effective channel. 

Write Ad Copy

A PPC management agency will be responsible for writing creative, effective ad copy. Your ads will appear at the top of Google, and although this placement alone can secure attention, what you say in your ad truly makes the difference. When you are working with a PPC management agency, they will create multiple different variations of ads that somewhere incorporate related keywords. Different variations are created so Google can alternate between different ad combinations, this can decipher and show which types of ads, words and language perform the best.
