This is how you waste your marketing spend. PPC audit helps.
What is a PPC audit?
PPC, or Pay-Per-Click advertising, is an online marketing tool where advertisers pay for each click. A PPC audit is a thorough analysis of the effectiveness and performance of a company's paid advertising campaigns. The aim is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of campaigns and make specific recommendations for optimising advertising. The process involves reviewing keywords, ads, landing pages and ad accounts to ensure maximum effectiveness of campaigns.
Why is a PPC audit important?
A well-conducted PPC audit can bring many benefits to a business:
- Uncovering human error: often, a small oversight in setting up a campaign can lead to waste. Since even the simplest campaign has a lot of settings, it's worth checking it occasionally with an outside eye.
- Performance optimisation: the audit helps identify why campaigns are not achieving the expected results and gives you the opportunity to fine-tune them.
- Increase cost-effectiveness: identify areas where advertising is not delivering a good return on investment and make recommendations for more efficient budget allocation.
- Improving keywords and advertising: the audit will analyse current keywords and advertising and suggest new, more relevant terms where necessary.
- Landing page optimisation: relevance and user-friendliness of landing pages are key to increasing conversion rates.
Common mistakes that a PPC audit will reveal
A thorough PPC audit often reveals hidden problems in campaigns. For example:
- Low click-through rate (CTR)
- Excessively high click-through rates (CPC)
- Irrelevant keywords that eat up budget unnecessarily
- Weak landing pages that do not encourage visitors to buy
- Untapped technical options to improve performance
- The above-mentioned human errors, which can be wide-ranging and consume a lot of unnecessary expenditure
By identifying such problems, the audit helps to make campaigns more effective, increasing the return on investment (ROI).
The role of landing pages in optimisation
A successful PPC campaign is based on a properly optimised landing page. It is important that these are:
- User-friendly: Have a fast loading time, easy navigation and a mobile-friendly design.- **Relevant**: Have content that reflects the message and keywords of the ad.
- Have relevant, relevant content
- Effective incentives: have clear incentives to act (CTAs).
Optimisation requires continuous A/B testing and analysis to ensure that campaigns are always performing at their best.
This not only affects your customers, but is also monitored by advertising systems. If your site is weak, your ads will be expensive and ineffective.
