What is PPC?

Pay-per-click advertising, explained.

Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising lets you place your business at the top of search results and on partner websites and social platforms, and you only pay when someone clicks. It's instant, targeted traffic for the keywords and audiences you choose.

PPC is especially effective for new businesses, launches and industries where keywords are hard to rank for organically. It also works hand in hand with SEO: ads capture demand now while organic rankings grow.

PPC is all about ROI. A successful campaign brings in more money than it costs. Finding the right ads, keywords and audiences takes testing — and with careful optimization, PPC becomes one of the most predictable lead sources you have.

FAQ

PPC questions, answered.

What is pay-per-click (PPC) advertising?

PPC is online advertising where you pay only when someone clicks your ad. The most common platforms are Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and LinkedIn.

Which PPC platform is right for my business?

It depends on how your buyers shop. Google and Microsoft Ads capture people actively searching, Meta reaches people by interests and demographics, and LinkedIn is strongest for B2B. We recommend the mix based on your goals.

Should I do PPC or SEO?

Often both. PPC produces leads right away while SEO builds traffic that compounds over time. Many clients use PPC to drive growth now and SEO to lower their cost per lead long term.

How do you measure PPC results?

We set up conversion tracking for calls, forms and sales before launch, then report on cost per lead and return on ad spend — not just clicks and impressions.

Can you take over an existing ad account?

Yes. We start with an audit of your current campaigns and tracking, fix what's wasting money, and build on what's already working.
