Pay Per Click (PPC)
How I manage PPC campaigns
Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising is a vital component of any successful digital marketing strategy. However, managing PPC campaigns can be a challenging task, especially if you’re doing it without support.
As a PPC freelancer, I have been managing campaigns for clients across various industries, from small businesses to large corporations, for several years now. Let me explain how I can use this knowledge to help your company.
The different kinds of PPC
As a PPC freelancer, I work across different types of PPC platforms to help my clients achieve their marketing goals. Here is a breakdown of how I manage each platform:
Google AdWords: Google AdWords is the most popular PPC platform, and I have extensive experience managing campaigns on it. I start by doing extensive keyword research to identify the best keywords to target. From there, I create targeted ad groups and write compelling ad copy. I constantly monitor and optimise the campaigns to ensure maximum ROI for my clients.

Bing: Bing is another popular PPC platform, and it can be a great alternative to Google AdWords. I use a similar process to manage Bing campaigns, including keyword research, ad group creation, and ongoing optimisation.
Shopping: Google Shopping campaigns can be incredibly effective for ecommerce businesses, and I have experience managing campaigns for clients in a variety of industries. I start by setting up product feeds and creating targeted campaigns that showcase products to the right audience. I then monitor and optimise the campaigns to drive maximum sales.
Performance Max: Google’s Performance Max campaigns are a relatively new addition to the PPC landscape, but they have quickly become a popular option for marketers. These campaigns use machine learning to optimise bids and targeting, which can be incredibly effective when managed correctly. I work with clients to set up Performance Max campaigns, monitor them closely, and make adjustments as needed to drive optimal results.
Display: Display campaigns can be a great way to build brand awareness and reach new audiences. I work with clients to create eye-catching display ads and target them to the right audience. I also monitor and optimise these campaigns to ensure they are delivering the desired results.
Retargeting: Retargeting campaigns can be incredibly effective at converting leads into customers. I help clients set up retargeting campaigns that target people who have already engaged with their brand. I then create targeted ads that encourage these people to take the desired action, such as making a purchase or filling out a lead form.
Overall, my approach to managing PPC campaigns across different platforms is to stay up-to-date with the latest best practices and techniques, constantly monitor campaigns, and make data-driven decisions to achieve the best possible results for my clients.
My Strategy for PPC Campaigns
Understanding your target audience
The first step to managing a successful PPC campaign is to understand your target audience. You need to know who they are, what they’re looking for, and how they behave online. Once you have this information, you can tailor your campaigns to their needs and preferences. For example, if your target audience consists of young adults who spend a lot of time on social media, you may want to focus your campaigns on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
Keyword Research
Another critical aspect of managing a successful PPC campaign is to conduct thorough keyword research. Keyword research involves identifying the words and phrases that your target audience is using to search for products or services like yours. Once you have this information, you can use it to create ads that are relevant to their search queries.
Creating Compelling Ad Copy
To create effective PPC ads, it’s essential to write compelling ad copy that captures the attention of your target audience. Your ad copy should be clear, concise, and informative, highlighting the unique features and benefits of your products or services. It’s also important to include a strong call to action that encourages your audience to take the desired action, such as making a purchase or filling out a contact form.
Landing Page Optimisation
In addition to creating effective ad copy, it’s also crucial to optimise your landing pages for conversions. A landing page is the web page where your visitors land after clicking on your ad. Your landing page should be designed to provide a seamless user experience and encourage visitors to take action, such as making a purchase or filling out a contact form. You can optimise your landing pages by ensuring they load quickly, are mobile-friendly, and have clear and concise messaging that aligns with your ad copy.
Reporting Back On The Right Data
Monitoring and analysing your PPC campaigns is another key aspect of successful campaign management. You need to track the performance of your campaigns, identify areas of improvement, and make necessary adjustments to optimise your ads for better results. Some of the key metrics to track include click-through rates, conversion rates, cost per click, and return on ad spend.
Regular Campaign Optimisation
One of the most significant advantages of managing PPC campaigns is the ability to test and refine your campaigns continuously. You can test different ad formats, targeting options, ad copy, and landing pages to identify what works best for your audience. By analysing the data from your campaigns, you can refine your strategy and make data-driven decisions that help you achieve your marketing goals.
