Online advertising aka Cost Per Click (CPC) or Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, is when you pay your way to the top of relevant search results and webpages. Ads can be in text, images and even video.
Advantages
Online advertising offers many advantages over traditional print advertising.
- Relevant – You can better target and segment your audience to deliver more relevant ads without wasting your ad budget on people uninterested in your business.
- Faster – You can have immediate results but honestly you should spend some time for research and properly creating your campaign. Even still this is one of the fastest ways of growing your business.
- Control – Paid advertising gives you full control. We can control the costs, ad text & images, ad placement, and even the time of day and zip codes it will appear.
- Tracking – No more guessing! We can track how every cent is spent. This allows us to identify what performs best and should be expanded, and what is underperforming and needs adjustments. Clicks, calls and conversions can all be tracked.
