PPC advertising is not just another tool, it is a robust growth engine when used wisely and strategically. In anticipation of the upcoming year 2024, below are some tips on PPC that have proven their effectiveness in real-life scenarios to ensure more sales and maintain an edge over competitors.
AI-powered bidding with a personal touch: Artificial intelligence can help automate various aspects of bidding, but nothing can replace human input.
For example, I managed a retail client campaign where we found that although AI was good at optimizing bids, changing them manually during peak hours increased conversion rates by over 15%. The lesson?
Let AI be the backbone but use your own understanding when needed the most.
Custom campaigns: Although Google’s Smart campaigns are great for small enterprises, they should not run on auto-pilot mode. For example, we modified a Smart campaign mid-way based on changing market trends, resulting in a 20% increase in ROI.
This means regular monitoring and adjustments are imperative.
Use your own data: Now more than ever, it’s important to keep faith in first-party data, as third-party cookies are becoming obsolete. One of my clients who runs an online boutique used to buy data to create custom audience segments.
With such measures, they enjoyed a thirty percent increase in return on ad spend (ROAS), as well as increased customer loyalty.
Intentional remarketing: Remarketing should not look like random reminders. For a SaaS company I worked with, we designed remarketing ads that directly addressed the problems of users who had subscribed for a trial but didn’t convert. That approach resulted in a twenty-five percent increase in conversions.
Conversational keywords: People don’t speak as much as they write, so your pay-per-click strategy should be the same. For example, optimizing for the best plumber near me helped us tap into some big chunks of mobile traffic that would have really gone unnoticed; this was done by one of our clients who provided local services.
Local SEO for voice search: In our PPC Tips campaigns that aligned with our client’s local SEO initiatives, we saw an increase in the number of people coming into their shop.
For example, by targeting phrases like ‘find vegan restaurants near me’ for our food and beverage clients we attracted more local customers that voice search was assisting.
Stories instead of ads: Video ads allow you to establish a deeper connection with your audience. For a fitness brand, we created a series of video ads that weren’t just about selling equipment but told stories from real customers who changed their lives.
The results? Engagement increased by forty percent and customers are more loyal.
Direct engagement through interactive features: As part of a beauty brand campaign, we enhanced our video ads with interactive aspects that allowed viewers to purchase directly from the video.
This method not only increased viewing figures but also led to a twenty-five percent increase in direct purchases.
Increase A/B testing: It’s obvious that A/B testing is essential; however, it’s important to think about its finer points. In a tech start-up campaign, we were responsible for, we tested not only our headlines but also our call-to-action buttons.
As a result, a one-word change drove an unusually high 30 percent more registrations.
Creative that resonates: Don’t settle for generic ad creative. When creating ads for a travel client we aimed to show them exactly what they would get if they flew to specific destinations, such as flying over cities in the morning and then arriving at bed and breakfast hotels within minutes because of the low-priced flights available online.
So their personalized creative garnered more customer interest, resulting in more people booking holidays.
Focus on conversion-driven keywords: Easy traffic gets you nowhere; conversions matter most. I helped one of my SaaS clients by focusing on conversion-oriented keywords such as “best project management tools” that targeted users who were ready to make informed decisions. This shift resulted in a 50 percent increase in trial sign-ups.
Mastering negative keywords: We helped a legal services company optimize its negative keyword list, eliminating irrelevant clicks and saving a significant amount of money in the process. This simple task reduced wasteful spending by 15 percent and improved campaign effectiveness overall.
Design with intent: A landing page should not only look good but also lead the user to action. Redesigning landing pages for a financial advisory firm with clear, concise messaging and a strong call-to-action saw us increase lead generation by 25 percent.
Speed matters: In today’s fast-paced world, a slow-loading landing page is deadly to conversion rates. For an e-commerce client, page speed optimization saved 2 seconds, resulting in a significant 18 percent reduction in bounce rate and a corresponding increase in sales.
Budget adjustments in real-time: Don’t just set it and forget it. During a holiday season campaign for a retail client, we closely monitored performance and shifted their budget to higher-performing ads in real time. This flexible approach helped them exceed their sales goals by 20 percent.
Plan for seasonality: A campaign can be won or lost based on knowledge of seasonal trends. A client specializing in outdoor equipment saw a 40 percent increase in sales when they increased PPC efforts right before spring when it was the peak demand period.
Track what matters: It’s not just about clicks, but also about conversions. For example, we implemented advanced conversion tracking that was not limited to form submissions but extended to patient bookings for one of the healthcare providers we serve.
We were thus able to manage campaigns more effectively with regard to optimization.
Regular in-depth analysis: Data is never static; it moves around. In the case of a B2B software company, we found that there was a recurring pattern with regard to lead generation that helped refine targeting and improve lead quality by 15%.
Evolve throughout your life: The field of digital marketing changes every day; things that worked yesterday may not work today or tomorrow. That’s why I’m always attending seminars, watching online training, and experimenting with new methodologies.
As a result of such education, I’m able to ensure that my clients don’t fall behind their competitors in terms of making more sales.
This emphasizes the need for you to build well-rounded strategies on these principles that are based on practical wins as well as continuous education so that they can elevate their PPC campaigns to their 2024 sales figures.
