In particular, their work with Google Shopping is outstanding. JumpFly does things we couldn’t possibly do on our own. Before, I had about 3 variations of an ad, and I changed them up a few times a year. By rotating in so many different versions, they’ve nailed down what works and are able to target specific audiences.

Benefits of Using A PPC Company

As the internet has become an indispensable part of doing business, Pay Per Click has grown into an integral part of marketing strategy. It drives traffic to your website in a way that can be monitored and measured, and for which there is no charge if there is no click. The price of a particular keyword is based upon its value to the individual market, which means that if you are selling in a niche area or can be creative (but effective) with your keyword selection, you can control the amount of money that you want to invest. Perhaps most importantly of all, PPC has been proven effective. People who are searching for what you are selling have a high likelihood of clicking through to your website if your PPC campaign is well researched and managed.

There are several benefits and advantages to Pay Per Click Advertising.

• They develop an awareness of your brand
• They reach your targeted audience, regardless of whether it is based on demographics, location, a keyword or time of day
• They can convert shoppers and browsers into buyers
• They drive profitability

Pay Per Click encompasses a variety of specialty processes and techniques that boost their campaign effectiveness, including retargeting, and personalization of display campaigns. They offer a high return on investment, and with careful analysis, tracking and adjustments their ability to generate revenue can grow.

The Cost of PPC Services

PPC companies charge a wide range of fees for their services, and it is difficult to determine whether a price that you’re quoted is reasonable or not. A quick check of the internet reveals hourly rates ranging from $25 per hour to $199 per hour, with no real sense for how long the process takes or what that includes.

In order to deliver the type of Return On Investment that you need to have your digital marketing campaign succeed, you should expect and want them to spend a significant amount of time learning about your account and constantly trying to analyze the results that they are achieving in order to improve upon them. One important thing to remember is that the more ads you are running, the more analysis and keywords your PPC company will have to track, analyze, and manipulate.

Different PPC companies work with different pricing models.

• Percentage of ad spend. These companies charge a percentage of the money that you’re spending on advertising, and this is often on a sliding scale fee where the percentage goes down as the ad buy amount goes up. These percentages usually start at 20%.
• Management fee plus percent of ad spend. The companies charge a percentage of ad spend along with a management fee. These fees can range from $400 to $5,000 per month, plus the 20%+ percentage
• Flat Fee Pricing. Some charge a predetermined flat fee based upon your specific goals.
• Performance-based Pricing. Some charge for successful calls to action, including emails, click-throughs, trial signups, and inbound calls.
