3. PPC Advertising also known as Paid Search
allows you to pay to have your ad displayed on
Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) when
searchers type in a specific search query

Your ad will be displayed to users and they
will be directed to your site when they click.

recommend not to start your ad
campaign with your ad copy but
with your keywords
• Carefully curate a list of keywords
that you want you ad to show up for

results page when people search for
your keywords

of keywords for your website. You enter a
word, phrase or URL and the keyword tool
gives you a list of related keywords and
additional traffic data.

Broad Match -> include misspellings, synonyms,
related searches, and other relevant variations
Example: cell phone. Ad shown for cell, cell phone, cell
phone tower, cel phon, phone etc.
Phrase Match -> phrase and close variations of that
phrase
Example: “Wedding Sherwani”. Ad shown if nothing in
between “Wedding” and “Sherwani”, but can have
words before “Wedding” or
after “Sherwani”
Exact Match -> exact term and close variations of that
exact term. Example : [cell phone]
Ad shown on exactly [cell phone]
Negative Match -> search terms will be excluded
Example : -free
Ad never shown if negative word is part of search query
If -free is negative keyword, user searches on “free cell
phones”, ad will not appear.

29. Your ad should be specifically designed
for the keywords in your ad group.
Both your keywords and your ad copy
should be highly relevant to the search
query.
Ad copy should be relevant enough to get
the searchers to click on them. Be
Specific, e.g. “20% Discounts”, Address
your target, Call To Action Etc. Etc…..
30. When viewers click on your ad, they are
directed to your landing page.
Determine in which way you want the visitor
to convert on your landing page.
by buying your product.
downloading an offer.
filling out a form etc.
Or any other call to action
Incorporate your conversion goal into your ad
strategy
33. Pay-per-click means that you don’t pay for your
ad to be displayed (impression) on the search
engine. You only pay when somebody actually
clicks on your ad. So while your ad might be
displayed 500 times and only 1 person clicks on
it, you will only have to pay for 1 Click.
Bidding & Budgeting
34. To determine how much you are willing to pay
per click, you place a bid - your maximum Cost-
per-Click (Max. CPC). You also set a daily budget
on the campaign level. So for each campaign,
you tell Google how much to spend per day.
35. A higher ad position is more desirable, as they
generally get more clicks . For your ad to be
displayed above your competitors, you have to
outbid them. But you don’t pay more than the
minimum amount that will keep you in position.
