Pay Per Click (PPC) and Paid Media

Helping you get quick results with digital advertising

When you need a lot of leads or extra cash quickly, pay per click (PPC) and paid ads online can provide a quicker return than organic digital marketing. But you need to have an in-depth knowledge of your customers for this marketing strategy to be effective, or else you’ll burn through your ad spend without reaching your goals.

In addition to the technical know-how to navigate the ad placement set-up (which is tricky for the uninitiated), you need to ensure your ad copy and creative is on point and effective for converting clicks to leads or conversions and sales.

We can help you design effective digital marketing campaigns that use paid ads to get more immediate results. Whether you’re promoting a free gift, special offer, or product launch, we can help you plan, write, design, and upload the right Facebook and Google Ads that convert into leads and conversions within days.

PPC and Paid Ads 101: How not to burn through your budget

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ads are ads you place on online platforms like Google and Facebook, and you pay each time someone clicks on your ad. They are great for quick returns, but you can quickly lose significant ad spend if you are unfamiliar with their algorithms and best practices.

The great thing for advertisers like you is that Facebook and Google have very in-depth information about their users. You can use this data to show your ads to a very niche group of customers, and this helps you target the viewers of your ad with laser specificity.

However, if you target the wrong group, you’ll be wasting your time (and money). The Out-Smarts PPC and Ads team has successful experience running and managing ads on Facebook and Google and can give you the best chance of driving high-quality traffic and leads to your business or offer.

Why PPC and paid ads matter to your business

Paid ads allow you to better target your target customer with minute detail – much more detail than an organic content campaign ever could. This is why if you need a positive ROI, incorporating a paid placement digital strategy into your campaign can help drive quick leads to kickstart your promotion or launch.

It’s also a far more affordable way to advertise than buying a TV or radio spot. Pay per click generally costs anywhere from a few cents to a couple of dollars per lead, so it’s a great avenue to use for special promotions and campaigns. It engages your target customer and brings them deeper into your marketing funnel.

John Harrison - President - EcoTrend Ecologics

"We’ve seen our sites’ rankings improve a lot, traffic to the site has doubled and we have developed a much better understanding of how to work effectively in this important area thanks to Out-Smarts! Highly recommend Mhairi and the team for website SEO projects."

Sue Sherlock, Acne and Rosacea Society of Canada

Mhairi was an absolute pleasure to work with during our National Physiotherapy Month AdWords campaign. She used clear, simple language to explain AdWords, and took the time to walk us through the process of finding and bidding on the best keywords, then “tweaking” our messaging throughout the month to get the best possible results. After such clear communication, our team left feeling much more confident to try running an AdWords campaign on our own. From our high campaign impressions and the knowledge we gained from working with her, we would highly recommend working with Mhairi – thanks again!

Sasha Speranzini - Canadian Physiotherapy Association
