Why PPC Advertising Is Crucial for Start-Ups

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising is a popular way of marketing your business, products, and services on the internet. It gets placed above the organic search results, boost your business visibility.

As a new start-up business, it takes time before you start seeing organic results from your SEO efforts, but PPC advertising gives you the opportunity to enjoy instant traffic and customers from the start. There are some disadvantages when it comes to PPC that you need to consider, such as calculating your budget, for example. 

Why Start-Ups Need PPC Advertising

PPC advertising offers excellent benefits for start-ups:

Instant Traffic

When you put a SEO strategy in place it takes time to start seeing results. In fact it can take weeks, months, sometimes years, especially in competitive industries, PPC advertising offers instant traffic to your site.

Gain a Competitive Edge

If you have just started out and your competitors already have good rankings in organic results, it is going to take a long time to catch up and gain that edge you need. PPC advertising, on the other hand, helps you gain a competitive edge without delay, placing you above your competitors organic results.

The Disadvantages of PPC Advertising

As a start-up, it is essential you are also aware of the disadvantages of PPC advertising, helping you decide if it is the right choice to give your new business a boost.

Not Guaranteed the Right Leads

Not all visitors to your website are ready to make a purchase. Some may click on you ad when browsing, rather than already being in the purchasing funnel. Every time someone clicks on your ad, you are charged. Without the right targeting and negative keywords in place, you may waste your budget on people that are not ready to convert.

Can Work Out Expensive

Depending on your industry and the competitive nature of your keywords, your keyword bids and cost per click can become expensive. When you calculate the number of keyword ads you have running, along with the volume of traffic your site receives, you will find it may be costing more than you had hoped. Start-ups have limited budgets. To ensure your PPC campaign works within your budget, you need to monitor your budget, cost per click, cost per acquisition, and conversion rates, ensuring that you are achieving the best results.

PPC for Start-Ups

PPC advertising is an excellent strategy to use for start-up businesses. It offers fast results when done correctly, though in the long run, you should also consider other forms of digital marketing, such as SEO. SEO, search engine optimisation, helps your audience find you in organic search results without any cost, except your SEO agency. 

Having marketing strategies such as SEO helps to build relationships with your customers, offering high quality, relevant, and unique content that meets their pain points. Websites need to be helpful, answering their audiences needs. A SEO strategy lets you drive free/organic traffic to your website by using white hat and ethical SEO techniques that align with SEO best practices. Often PPC and SEO are used together, providing you with a steady stream of traffic.

Conclusion

PPC advertising offers excellent benefits for start-ups. It helps to drive traffic to your site quickly and effectively. It is often used in conjunction with SEO, bridging the gap as you wait to see the results from your SEO strategy. In order to achieve the best results, you need an excellent understanding of PPC and the platforms, ensuring you get the most of every click, reducing your cost per click and cost per acquisition.
