Why Do You Need Ad Management?
Online advertising is not set and forget. While you can set your initial keywords, ad groups, and ads, then not touch the ad campaign again, this isn’t the most effective use of your marketing budget. You could be wasting money in many different ways like:
- Overpaying for clicks
- Attracting irrelevant leads – waste of time and money.
- Targeting the wrong keywords
- Low click through rates
- Use the right ad platforms for your brand
Our PPC team can help you avoid these issues. Many paid ad companies strategize the initial ad campaign, but don’t consistently monitor performance to find small tweaks. If the campaign is converting, that’s good enough for them. However, over time there is much more insightful info that can be leveraged to make better, data-driven decisions. This insight can be used to further reduce CPC, optimize KPIs, and tailor your keyword strategy.
Ad management can also ensure you’re using the correct ad platforms. For this campaign, we used Google Ads, but there are many others including Facebook Ads, Local Service Ads, and Bing Ads just to name a few. If you are unfamiliar with PPC, it can be challenging to choose the right ad platform for your campaign. Our ad experts know where your audience is and how best to reach them!
We Constantly Monitor to Fine-Tune the Approach
We fine-tune each ad campaign to maximize every dollar you spend. Using past campaign performance data and our ad experience, we are able optimize your bids, keyword strategy, and more. Even if you have never run an ad campaign, we are educated in industry advertising practices that enable us to run projections.
Below are some of the highlights of our client’s campaign performance.
Lowered Cost Per Click to $13 from $58
Overpaying for clicks and leads can kill any ad budget. You could run out of funds before you reach qualified leads. Our client was spending an average of $58 per click when we began his initial campaign setup. We worked to reduce CPC with our targeted bid optimization and keyword strategy. These savings enable our client more flexibility.
- More efficiently spend his budget – more clicks/calls for the same monthly budget
- Reduce irrelevant traffic and increase the number of qualified leads
Flexibility is fantastic in business, especially when it comes to your marketing budget. After all, money doesn’t grow on trees. In six weeks, we were able to reduce the CPC by $45 – a 77% savings that our client was able to put towards additional ad campaigns and more leads. Our client went from spending $348 for 6 clicks to paying $182 for 14 clicks. Because of our strategy and fine tuning, the client was able to nearly cut their ad spend in half while more than doubling their ad clicks. Let us do the same for you! With those ad savings, you can reinvest into more advertising to further increase revenue.

More Qualified Leads: Increase Users & Decrease Bounce Rate
Another important aspect of PPC is targeting the right people in the right area. You don’t want to pay for leads that you can’t service. Whether they’re outside your service area or don’t need the services you’re advertising, it wastes valuable resources.
If they’re outside your service area, you’re paying someone to answer a call that you can’t help. If your ad traffic bounce rate is high, you’re advertising to searchers whose needs don’t match your services – they are visiting your site then immediately going back to the ad results.
When we took over the campaign, our client had a high bounce rate and lower amount of users. The client was paying for traffic that was bouncing about 80% of the time. The audience was clicking on the ads, but quickly navigating away. It was a waste of money.
After we reviewed the keywords, ad groups, ads, and location targeting, we were able to dramatically reduce the bounce rate and get the client’s ads in front of the right audience, in the right area, with the right messaging. The ads reached the target audience more effectively and also attracted a higher number of users.
