PPC FOR STARTUPS
PPC Services For New Websites
Getting new customers for your new business is never easy. Finding the budget to market your business can be difficult. We understand this and want to support your new business. It’s important to remember you need to spend money to make money but don’t look at it as a cost. With all maketing you should see a return on investment or ROI. So it’s important before setting up any new marketing campaign you have the processes in place to track your results, if you run an online store you should be tracking sales in Google Analytics and if you are looking to gain more phone calls you should be using software such as Call Conversions for call tracking. Once you have this in place you can look to setup a marketing campaign and start attracting new clients.
PPC advertising, using Google, Bing, Facebook and LinkedIn can be a great way for new businesses to get new clients instantly.
PPC Examples
Before starting any marketing campaign it’s important that you work out how much you can afford to gain a new customer. So you need to work out your profit margins. For instance if you are a builder and the average new job brings you in a total bill of £1,000, but you spend £200 on materials, £30 on fuel to get to the customer and back and need to take a salary of £600 for the job you are left with a profit of £170. If you average CPC of your marketing campaign is £5 and it takes 10 clicks to get a sales then your cost per aquisition is £50.00 still leaving a profit of £120 per job and the thought of spending £5 a click actually seems quite good and you could afford to spend a little more to aquire those customers and still make a profit. So as you can see it’s important to look at the whole picture now just the £5 per click and to do this you need to know your numbers.
We aren’t saying all businesses will work like the example above, every business has different keywords and different average Cost Per Clicks or CPC’s, some higher and some lower, but the advantage of PPC marketing to new businesses or start-ups is that you only pay when someone has typed in a phrase that is very relevant to you. Our job is to optimise your campaigns and make sure you are focusing on keywords that are more likely to convert into customers to get you as high a profit margin as possible.
New Customers
PPC is a great way for new businesses to get new customers, while SEO is fantastic, it takes time for a website to rank in Google, especially a new one. With PPC you can instantly put your website at the top of Google and get the phone ringing. We often suggest to customers that they start both PPC and SEO campaigns so you can start to gain new customers instantly with PPC while your rankings in the natural section of Google grow. With PPC you can also adjust your budgets to the work load you have, so if you need more phone calls we can increase your budgets and scale your campaigns.

PAY PER CLICK (PPC) FAQ’S
While you might have a good idea what your cusotmers are typing in to Google and Bing the only real way to know what people are searching for is to look at the data from Google. The information we get from you is really useful but it’s the start of the journey. We complete keyword research to find relevant search terms for your business and then use them to setup your PPC account.
After the account is setup we continually monitor your account to make sure that those keywords are generating leads for your business, if they only generate clicks to your website then they will be added as “negative keywords” so we can spend your budgets on keywords that do create sales.
One of the first things we do when we start working on a new campaign is to make sure your conversion tracking is set up and working correctly. This is crucial to any campaign and allows us to optimise campaigns as well as report on your ROI every month. We track conversions in many forms, from contact form submissions, telephone calls and online sales.
Conversion tracking is vital to any successful marketing campaign if you are a service business and aren’t currently tracking where your incoming phone calls are coming from and which keywords are making the phone ring then you are more than likely wasting money.
Pay per Click marketing is a specialised field within marketing and it’s quite common for in-house teams to outsource this part of digital marketing. Clicks to your website can be expensive and show little return if you don’t know what your are doing and have tested different strategies.
We are happy to work with your in-house marketing team and become the “digital” department of your business. We will provide you with reports and updates, access to your accounts, and work with you to ensure you know where your ad spend is going and what leads or customers your pay-per-click campaigns are generating.
Continued optimisation of your campaigns will make them work better over time and as such will improve your ROI.
Monthly Google Ads management involves creating new ad groups and keywords, pausing ads or keywords that don’t convert, advising you of new suggestions, checking if the budget is adequate and advising you if you should increase or decrease it and ensuring your ads aren’t being shown for irrelevant keywords to name just a few tasks we complete.
Setting up a Google Ads campaign that works well is more complicated than you would think and involves a good knowledge of the system. Some of the tasks we complete when setting up a campaign are below:
- Learn about your businesses advertising goals
- Learn about your products and profitability of them
- Decide which campaign types are best for your business
- Keyword research
- Create a campaign structure to best suit your marketing objectives.
- Depending on your goals we may create several different campaigns.
- Build ‘ad extensions’ to increase the click rates of your adverts and make your ads stand out.
- Writing ad copy for your different adverts which we will later use to optimise your campaign
- Setting up conversion tracking within Google Analytics and importing the goals in to Google Ads
- Tweaking your website to allow conversion tracking
…and much more.
This does take more time than your would think but spending time on building the campaign correctly means you will save money and see a much higher ROI.
The simple answer is yes you can however we normally find these are not optimised correctly and these campaigns are usually stopped because they aren’t producing results and people have wasted a lot of money.
People have said this to us before and fortunatly we have had the opportunity to prove to them that it can work. The most common reason that people have this issue is down to not having conversion tracking setup and blindly running ads.
Running a Google Ads campaign without knowing how to use it properly can be a recipe for burning a lot of money VERY fast.
The other most common problem we see are keywords being setup incorrectly, picking keywords that could also be used for something else or keywords that people use looking for information and not buying.
Once you have an experianced Google Ads manager from Springer Marketing working on your campaign, we can instantly fix things based on our knowledge of working on other campaigns, we can then setup conversion tracking so we can stop you wasting money on keywords that don’t produce results. Then you will have a campaign that WORKS!!!
SEO is a great digital marketing strategy but it is a longer term solution and doesn’t provide instant results. SEO involves your website being correclty set up which will ultimately bring you more visitors from Google’s organic search. You don’t pay per visitor for this type of traffic, but you do pay for the time it takes to optimise your website and this is an on going process.For the majority of businesses SEO is an important part of a digital marketing strategy and it’s important that it’s not overlooked.
Google Ads is a great way of bringing in instant targeted traffic to your website. It is very fast to set up, and means that you can instantly get traffic to your website which is much faster than SEO. Both of these digital marketing strategies are ongoing investments.
The main difference between Google Ads and SEO is that with SEO you have to invest first before seeing results, with Google Ads you only pay for results.
Both are important parts of digital marketing. It is also important to remember that some parts of SEO will also improve the quality and costs of your Google Ads campaigns.
Google Ads can be tricky and takes a lot of trial and error if you haven’t worked with it before, so we recommend your first step is to give us a call and let us do the work for you. We don’t change to setup a campaign so use our experts to get high quality leads coming into your business.
The cost of Google Ads all comes down to you and your budget. Google Ads can work with almost any budget. Google Ads don’t have a minimum spend requirement however the cost per click is determined by you and your competitors as it works on a bid based system. This means some keywords are more expensive than others. Some industries have a low cost per click and others are very high. It’s also important to think about the value of a conversions, sometimes lower cost clicks don’t get conversions so it’s important to think about the ROI not just the cost. You can also stop your Google Ads at anytime.
PPC (Pay Per Click) means that you only pay when someone clicks on your advert NOT everytime it is displayed,
Yes there are:
- Search Network campaigns – these are usually in text based form. This type of Google Ads are the type you are most used to seeing and appear in the usual search results when people are searching Google.
- Call Only Adverts – As above these appear in Google search results but do not link to a website and are designed when you want a click to go straight to a phone call.
- Display Network campaigns – these are usually in an image form, these ads are set to appear on different websites that you specify.
- Video Ad campaigns – as the name suggests these are videos and usually up to 15 second long. These ads are the ones you see right before or during YouTube videos.
Google Ads works by displaying your advert/website when people search for the specific search words and phrases you want to be found for. When setup correctly, Google Ads places your adverts in front of potential customers as they are searching for them.
- You start by thinking about what words and phrases people might use when wanting to buy your products/services and add them into the system, including the amount you want to pay per click.
- Next you can select the geographic areas where you want your ads to be shown, these might be local to your business or cover the whole country or even the world!
- Then you need to create your advert and link it to your website. You can even set daily budget caps so you don’t spend more than you want to.
Google will need to approve your ads but once completed your adverts will be displayed as you set it up and the great thing is you only pay when your advert is clicked not every time its displayed!
Nothing! Google Ads is the new name and branding given to Google AdWords.
Google Ads which was formerly know as Google AdWords or Google AdWords Express, is an online PPC (pay per click) advertising platform that allows businesses to pay to appear at the top of Google. Businesses can choose the keywords they want people to find them for, create custom adverts and set the maximum amount they want to pay per click on their advert.
