In the era of content marketing and thought leadership, PPC can foster the middle ground of nurturing and serving the middle of the funnel through advertising content downloads, seeking newsletter signups, contest entries, and pushing for app downloads. PPC can support many parts of the sales funnel and the path that your prospects take from awareness to becoming a customer.
PPC advertising is quite specific in its targeting. Unlike other forms of advertising, the relevant ad with a link to a destination web page is only displayed when a search engine user types in a specific phrase (or when an ad appears on the content network, which is triggered by relevant content on a publisher’s page), resulting in minimal waste when compared to other forms of advertising.
Complete financial command. With no minimum spend, you can set maximum monthly budgets for your entire account or for specific campaigns, and you can choose the maximum amount per click that you are willing to pay for each ad. There is no minimum spend requirements.
With many types of advertising, you pay the same amount for your ad spot, no matter how many people see it or contact you because of it. One of the major PPC benefits is that you pay per click. This means you only pay when someone interacts with your ad, providing a chance for conversion. You won’t go over your budget, though, since you can set your maximum spend ahead of time.
