Pay Per Click (PPC) FAQs

Should I start with SEO or PPC?

In most cases, we recommend that clients who have a new site or are getting little organic traffic to start with PPC advertising. Once they have a decent flow of traffic to their website, normally after 3 to 6 months, SEO is the next step. On the flipside, if the client is already getting some good organic search traffic, it may be worth exploring SEO alongside your PPC strategy.

How long will it take before I actually see sales from PPC advertising?

This depends on your offering. We’ve seen eCommerce sites get sales within 1 to 2 days. While with service providers it takes longer to get new clients, possibly within a week of the ad campaign being launched.

How much will I need to spend on Google ads?

The ideal budget depends on your business goals. There is no required minimum or maximum budget on Google ads. So you can go as low as you want. However, an extremely low budget can limit the reach of your ads. So we would recommend a decent sized budget to start with, and then you can increase or decrease it whenever you like.

Why do I need an agency to manage my paid ad campaigns?

As an experienced PPC agency in Birmingham, our team comes with over 20 years of experience in creating and managing PPC campaigns. Not only can we bring strong expertise to the table, but we can continuously monitor your ads saving you time and effort. And most importantly, we can make sure that your ads are running as efficiently as possible, so you’re not wasting your money on dead keywords or ads.

Why does an ad campaign need to be optimised each month?

Things change overtime, competition develops, and keywords get expensive. To keep your ad campaigns efficient, it is best to trim away underperforming keywords and to find new opportunities to grow your campaigns. By reviewing your campaigns monthly, we are able to react to poor performance quickly, and keep your campaigns running at a high level.

I heard that Google ads are a waste of money, do they really work?

Yes, they really work. With the right expertise, businesses can quickly improve their ROI and generate sales from Google ads alone. If you choose to work with a good Birmingham PPC agency like us, we will make sure that your Google ads budget is never wasted.

My ad campaign gets plenty of clicks, but no conversions – Why is that?

There could be a number of reasons for why a campaign is driving traffic, but not conversions. It could be something simple, such as tracking issues, or something deeper like a poor user experience on your landing pages. As a full service marketing agency, we have in-house CRO experts to help you boost conversions on your website. While our PPC experts take care of things on the ad-side.

My ad campaign is running, but I don’t see any ads in Google?

Ads can take a few hours to start showing after a campaign starts running. Alternatively, the quality score of your Google ads could be lowering the position of your ads in the search results. It is important to create engaging ads that result in clicks and conversions on your site, as this all helps to improve the visibility of your ads. Whatever the reason is, our Birmingham based PPC experts will quickly be able to troubleshoot it for you.
