There are several advertising platforms that you can use if you’re considering PPC advertising. However, [Google Ads is the largest search provider on the market](https://www.statista.com/study/38338/digital-advertising-report-search-advertising/), which is why a lot of PPC advertisers start with Google Ads advertising first. There are several benefits to doing PPC advertising on Google Ads. If you’re considering using Google Ads to advertise your business on Google Ads, then there are many benefits that you should consider. Here are twenty-eight from the many benefits of running PPC marketing on Google Ads:

If you’ve been doing PPC marketing for the past few years, you’ll be aware that **Google have been gradually ushering in more automation** and machine learning into their Google Ads platform. **Google can automate many things in your Google Ads PPC account**. Google Ads can now automate bidding, Display targeting, display ad creation, search targeting, ad copy optimisation and Shopping campaign management to name a few things.

If you’re looking to promote your business with PPC advertising, you will eventually have a crucial question answer. Should you run PPC advertising yourself or should you pay someone else to do it?

I have been working in digital marketing for nine years and have been doing PPC marketing for almost seven years. During this time, I’ve interviewed several people for junior and entry-level PPC marketing jobs. I’ve interviewed graduates who did not have what it takes to do PPC marketing, and I’ve interviewed people who would be ideal for the role. I’ve also interviewed people who I felt may have been good for the role but who just did not come across very well. I had to turn these people down even though I did think that these people would have gotten the job had they prepared a little more.

Google Ads has a section that can help with measuring the click journey before a conversion occurred in your PPC account. This report has previously been called Search Attribution, but Google has revamped it and changed the name to Attribution. To get to the Attribution page within Google Ads click on ‘Tools & Settings’ on the top right of the page and then on ‘Attribution’ which can be found under the ‘Measurement’ heading.

As Covid-19 (Coronavirus) is increasingly spreading more rapidly in the UK, the uncertainty has caused a lot of hysteria and general panic in the last few days. While the government decides on the best way forward for the country, many businesses are having to consider what their strategy should be amidst the panic.

If you sell clothing online, you are most likely aware of the fact that sales for each type of product vary a lot based on the time of the year and season. For clothing businesses using PPC advertising to sell their clothes, this presents a problem. It is not enough to just look at the last fourteen or last thirty days of data to decide on how much to bid on a keyword and whether to keep it running. This is because the performance of the keyword may change based on the season. So just because a particular keyword did well last month, does not necessarily mean that it will do well this month.

It is rarely the case that a customer will search for something on Google, click a PPC ad and then make a purchase after the first visit. There is often a research journey where the customer is influenced or led into making a purchase on your site. This blog will talk about what an attribution model is in Google Analytics, why it is important to consider and what attribution models you have available to you in Google Analytics.

Google’s Shopping campaign type can often be the most profitable aspect of an ecommerce advertiser’s PPC advertising. The fact that the customer can see an image of the product alongside the price means that a click is already more qualified than a click on, for example, a text ad. With Google Shopping ads becoming ever more popular, advertisers need to constantly look for a way to be more competitive so that they can beat the competition and therefore increase sales.

When done right, PPC advertising can prove to be very profitable. When done poorly, PPC becomes a money pit with no benefits to the business. If you turn to Google support for advice, then what they’re going to tell you is something that will definitely be good for them but may not necessarily be good for you. This is because it is in Google’s interest for you to keep spending and increasing that spend.

PPC can be challenging, but there are a number of tools available on the internet to make things easier. If you’re on a budget and are looking for free PPC tools, then I’ve compiled a list of the top 46 below. Some of these tools have paid options, but I’ve only included details of the free versions.

One of the first things that people learn when starting out in PPC are some basic formulas like how to calculate clickthrough rates and cost per clicks.

This is because to do data analysis, it is necessary to manipulate the data in ways that reveal where the opportunities and pitfalls are.

With so many paid advertising platforms being available to marketers, there is a wealth of opportunity out there. But if you’re advertising on multiple advertising platforms and operate in a niche that has a long sales funnel, then you may end up with more than one platform taking credit for the same conversion. Another problem is that if you add up conversions from more than one advertising platform with what you’re seeing in Google Analytics, the numbers almost never match up.

In many eCommerce Google Ads accounts, Google Shopping is the most profitable part of the account. Many marketers will put in a lot of time and effort optimising what they can see within Google Ads but will often neglect an important aspect of a Shopping campaign — the feed! While there are many factors that you can look at when optimising a feed. Here are eight areas that you can start looking into.

When you’re creating a new campaign, the Google Ads interface will ask if you want to switch on Search Partners, but have you ever wondered what this option does? Search Partners allows advertisers to extend the reach of their ads to show (in a search results like fashion) on sites other than in Google’s search engine.

While Google Ads is still the go-to platform for paid online marketing, it makes sense to keep an eye on other platforms and diversify your portfolio. As marketers, we should be aware of the benefits of each advertising platform so that we’re better equipped to make full and informed paid marketing strategies that are right for our businesses or clients...

Last year Google released some new impression share metrics to help advertisers monitor and identify where their ads appear on search engine results pages (SERPs).
