In the world of search engine marketing (SEM), a growing number of marketers are turning to PPC campaigns. That’s how Google has significantly grown its advertising revenue every year. In 2021, Google’s advertising revenue accounted for 81% of Alphabet’s overall sales.

Pay-per-click or PPC campaigns lead to nearly guaranteed ad placement in the search engine result pages. Well-run PPC campaigns help you generate leads. And if your ads tool is tightly integrated with your CRM, you can use insights from your ads’ data to nurture leads across their buying journey.

What is a PPC Campaign?

So, how can you win a PPC campaign? Start by crafting the right strategy and learning the management missteps you’ll want to avoid.

Here are a few ways marketers go wrong with PPC campaign management:

  • Building one basic campaign without using Google Ads’ Ad Groups tool.
  • Coming up with keywords by relying on gut feeling instead of doing research.
  • Not adding “negative keywords” or monitoring campaigns to avoid wasting budget.
  • Using unengaging landing pages, or a homepage that generates no leads for the campaign.
  • Creating campaigns, setting budget caps, and going live without informing internal or external stakeholders.
