What is PPC Advertising and How Does it Work?
PPC refers to the paid ads found at the top and to the side of a search engine’s results.
You will determine a monthly PPC budget, and with each click of your ad, a few dollars will be exhausted from your monthly budget, hence the name “pay-per-click.”
An AFM PPC account manager can set up your account, including all of the keywords important to your organization, and will provide daily maintenance to ensure you are getting the most value from your PPC campaign.
What Determines How Much a Click Costs?
Competition.
Important keywords to your organization are likely important keywords to everyone else in your industry.
For each particular keyword, you will set a max bid. If you bid the most for a keyword, your ad will be shown first. If you bid the second most, your ad will be shown second, and so on.
Maximum bids across your industry update in real time, so it is important to have a professional overseeing your PPC account every day.
