PPC Advertising
PPC stands for pay per click and is an online advertising model. If SEO is the long game of building organic traffic, then PPC is the shortcut to fast â but temporary â results. Search engines like Google are popular choices as a host platform because your ad will only display to users who are searching relevant keywords.
Google Ads uses two primary factors to decide ad rank:
CPC bid â This stands for cost per click. CPC is the amount the advertiser is willing to pay for each click.
Quality score â A metric made up of multiple criteria, ranging from the relevancy of the ad to the expected click-through rate.
There are many different KPIs but a few of the most common ones you should track are: Clicks, Click-through rate, and conversion rate.
