How to Choose a PPC Agency | 6 Decision-Making Factors and More

Not sure how to choose a PPC agency? This video featuring Amy from the WebFX Internet Marketing team can help!

Hiring the right PPC experts for your business can lead to increased conversions, more leads, and a boost in your revenue. We put together a list of six factors you should consider to help guide you through your decision-making process. In addition, we have some advice for creating a list of top agencies to evaluate.

A PPC agency is a business that manages your PPC (pay-per-click advertising) campaigns. While what you get with a PPC management package may vary from agency to agency, you can generally expect whoever you work with to:
🔵 Research your business and the surrounding environment
🔵 Develop and launch campaign strategies
🔵 Write ad copy
🔵 Manage your bids and budget
🔵 Track campaign performance

Your agency may provide design services, such as ad creation or landing page design, or they may create videos and animations. What you can do with your PPC campaigns depends a lot on what the agency offers.

Before reaching out to an agency, make sure you know what you want to achieve with your ads and how much you can spend. This will help you narrow down the list of qualified teams you can work with.

Finding the right PPC management team doesn’t have to be hard! If you’d like to partner with our team at WebFX, learn more about our services and pricing on our website: https://www.webfx.com/ppc/services/

Email Marketing for Beginners

Getting started with email marketing is easier than you may think, especially after watching this video.

Email queen Emily will give you the rundown on what it takes to craft a successful email marketing strategy.

She’ll go over how to choose the best email marketing platform (including what features you should look for in a platform), how to build an email list, and some tips for actually creating your emails.

The first step of email marketing for beginners is to figure out which platform you’ll use to send your emails. There are tons of email platforms out there, all with their pros and cons. A few things you should look for in an email marketing platform are:
–The cost
–Testing capabilities
–Automation features
–Result monitoring capabilities

We have our very own email marketing platform here at WebFX. Our MyEmailFX software can help set you up for success with your campaigns. Learn more on our website: https://www.webfx.com/email-marketing-software.html

Once you’ve decided on the best email marketing software, you’ll need an audience for your emails. You can grow your email subscribers in a number of ways, but probably the simplest way is to add a form to your website.

Don’t worry. Emily will cover more about email list building in the video.

Your subscribers need content. The type of emails you create depends on your goals (like increasing traffic or boosting sales). Two things we definitely recommend are segmenting your emails to better target subscribers and making your content easy to read across devices. Not everyone reads your emails on their laptops. Think mobile.

After your emails have been sent, you should keep an eye on key metrics to see if your campaign is successful. Some of these metrics include:
–Open rates
–Click rates
–Bounces

Again, Emily will go in-depth on all of these topics in the video, so take a few minutes to watch.

Your 2021 PPC Audit Guide | 8 PPC Audit Steps for Beginners

Looking to audit your pay-per-click (PPC) ads? Don’t start your PPC audit until you watch this video!

PPC expert Adam goes over 8 steps you should follow when auditing all of your PPC campaigns, including ads running on Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords), Amazon, and any social media platform.

When you say you want to conduct a PPC audit, this means you need to audit all of your PPC ads. Make sure you know which platforms you use for digital advertising so you don’t miss a thing.

What is a PPC audit, you ask?

Basically, when you audit your PPC campaigns, you analyze the performance of all of your ads. The most important thing you need to track is if you’re seeing a positive return on ad spend. If you’re spending more on ads than you’re making in revenue from the ads, it’s time to reevaluate your campaigns (or partner with an agency like WebFX that will do it for you).

During your PPC audit, you’ll also evaluate how people are interacting with your ads. Maybe you’re not targeting the right audience or your ad copy isn’t resonating with the people you’re trying to reach.

This will all be determined in a thorough PPC audit.

The 8 steps to a PPC audit (with timestamps) are:
1. Determine a period of time to audit // 00:01:02
2. Export your PPC campaign data // 00:01:31
3. Record bid and budget information // 00:01:50
4. Review your quality score // 00:02:21
5. Dive into your ad click-through rate and conversion rate // 00:02:59
6. Analyze your ad targeting // 00:03:32
7. Analyze the content of your ads // 00:04:28
8. Use your PPC audit findings to make changes // 00:05:08
