PPC basics

Before we dive into what makes PPC effective, let’s review some basics.

What is PPC for plating solutions?

PPC for plating solutions is a type of paid advertising where you pay when someone clicks on your ad.

The process is as follows:

  • You create an ad for a PPC channel – like Google — that targets a keyword like “gold plating solutions near Harrisburg.” You also determine how much you want to pay each time someone clicks on your ad.
  • When someone searches for your keyword or a related term, Google will sort through the ads available and decide which ones are the best based on your quality score, bid, and relevancy.
  • Google will display PPC ads at the top of the page. If a user clicks on yours, you will pay the set fee. If they don’t, you get to put your name out there for free!

Instead of using a sweeping approach, you can make sure that only people who are looking for plating solutions and products find your services.

3 factors for effective PPC campaigns

Now that we’ve covered what PPC ads are and how they can help plating solutions companies, it’s time to break down the top three factors for effective ads. While each individual ad will vary, you can lean into the following factors to see the best results.

1. Captivating ads

Your advertisements only have a few seconds to capture your audience’s attention. As users are searching for plating solutions, they are going to click on the ad that grabs their eye — even if you have the better service.

To make sure that you stand out from the competition, be sure to:

  • Include relevant images (format permitting)
  • Target the ideal keywords for your service
  • Keep your ad copy succinct

2. Landing pages

Your landing pages are where customers arrive after clicking on your ad. These pages are part of your website, and they can make or break your advertising efforts.

For example, say that you run an ad about plating solutions for commercial vehicle parts. However, when someone clicks on the ad, they go to your homepage, which doesn’t mention anything specific about car parts. Your user will likely click off, and you will have paid for a bounce.

To keep this from happening, your landing pages should:

  • Explain the advertised product or service
  • Include captivating images or videos
  • Have a clear call-to-action (CTA) that encourages customers to act

Using landing pages to your advantage will help convert the people who come to your site.

3. Trackable metrics

Once you launch your ads, you must evaluate their performance. Measuring your ads can help you make changes as necessary and optimize every campaign. Some key performance metrics (KPIs) you should track are:

  • Ad position — where your ads are ranking in search engine results
  • Traffic — how many people click on your ad and go to your site
  • Conversions — how many people purchase or contact you based on your ad

If you have existing landing pages, you can also measure the traffic and conversions before and after you launch your campaign.
