Pay-Per-Click Maintenance Checklist to Consistently Improve Your Results
Pay-per-click (PPC) ad campaigns are still one of the most worthwhile investments you can make to promote your business, brand, and products
or services. It can be easy to think of PPC as a “set and forget” marketing strategy. Getting the most out of your ads, though, requires
ongoing review and maintenance. Smart WSI Marketing is an award-winning internet marketing company that uses proven solutions to help any
business achieve maximum results from its PPC ads. Contact us to learn more.
How to Improve PPC Results
Together with email campaigns, SEO, and social media, PPC ads such as Google Ads are part of an overall online marketing strategy designed
to get your message—and website—in front of the right people.
It takes a lot of organization and management to optimize paid ad campaigns. For many business owners, that time could be better spent on
activities focused on growth and revenue.
When you want to get the most mileage out of your PPC ads, an internet marketing company can be just the partner you need. Along with things
like tracking eCommerce KPIs to tweaking budgets and bids, here’s just some of what a digital marketing agency can do to help increase your
ad success.
Check ad positions and, if necessary, refine things like bid management to get your positioning where you want it to be.
Review campaign settings to ensure you’re targeting the right networks, locations, and devices.
Check and review landing pages that aren’t performing as expected.
Review campaign performance to identify winning strategies and see if less-successful ads can be improved on.
Manage negative keywords so you aren’t throwing away your ad budget on irrelevant terms.
Review keyword performance for every campaign and check for weak links. You also want to track those search terms that are
getting clicks but not converting, or those with low click-through rates.
Other PPC ad maintenance tasks like checking the quality score and reviewing competitors’ PPC ads can be done less frequently, as can
evaluating automated settings your accounts have in place.

sure people know about the show and come in droves. UX, on the other hand, is all about keeping the audience entertained, ensuring they
enjoy every moment and want to come back for more.
