PPC can help you to achieve numerous business or marketing objectives relating to brand awareness, lead submission, sales, and more. It allows you to track and measure almost any kind of conversion goal. You can quickly set up a PPC campaign that either casts the net very widely or maintains a very tight focus: you retain total control. Results come very quickly, which means vital data to upscale or revise your strategy is not hard to come by. The performance of a profitable PPC campaign will also not be affected by search algorithm changes.

- Paid Media – Paid media is the top-level bracket of this entire service, encompassing various advertising formats like display ads, shopping ads, ads on social media, paid search ads, and more. Paid media essentially encompasses any marketing tactic that you pay for, including PPC ads.
- Paid Search – Paid search is a significant branch of paid media, and can be used to summarise any kind of advertisement that appears on search engine results pages (SERPs). For instance, a Google or Microsoft text ad qualifies as a paid search ad, whereas a social media ad doesn’t.
- PPC – A PPC ad is any advertisement that is paid for only when a user clicks on it. This is a very common paid search approach, which perhaps explains why many people now think the two terms describe the exact same thing. However, pay-per-click ads appear on social media or website display inventory too, so there is a clear dividing line.
PPC Marketing Process
PAID MEDIA STRATEGY THAT CLEARLY PAYS OFF
Auditing & Onboarding
We scrub up your data to drive relevant customers to your content to either educate, engage or convert. These will form the basis of a strategy that delves deep into your customer personas to uncover their needs, and how fulfilling them will deliver your KPIs.
It’s instrumental that we figure out precisely what your customers want, and the pathway they will take to fulfil it. We’ll use extensive persona analysis to create compelling and engaging user journeys, speaking to them at each stage of the decision tree to nurture them throughout the process.
We can also discover some quick wins by identifying what is working and what isn’t from an audit of your current strategy, alongside a competitor analysis. How your rivals operate is crucial to your success, with sophisticated reverse engineering tools representing the key to unlocking their gains for your benefit. The final stage will be deciding on the right keywords (or targeting methods outside of keywords) and weeding out the negative ones, combining them with the optimum traffic sources to focus on high user intent and cost-efficiency.
Implementation & Launch
Once the strategy is agreed upon, we’ll get it ready for launch. Crafting compelling ad copy and creative assets with a strong call to action is crucial to success, and we’ll ensure they are laser-targeted towards your personas. We’re fully committed to transparency, which means that we’ll also create live dashboards for you to monitor progress towards the KPIs that we’ve agreed to achieve. You’ll never need to wait to benefit from what the data is telling us.
Our implementation experience is extensive, whether developing your existing campaigns or building new accounts on new networks. And although we’ll be custodians of the accounts on your behalf, you will always own them and have a direct relationship with each platform.
Optimisation & Attribution
Once we begin the implementation, we’ll ensure the strategy nimbly reacts to any shifts in your customers’ behaviour. Their journey is never linear, taking in multiple devices and several touchpoints, often unique from user to user. Our understanding of the attribution process ensures you can reach them however they choose to engage with you.
Data always leads the way, and we’ll continuously adapt our approach, so it’s agile enough to react to maximise your returns. Our PPC revolves around a proactive strategy coupled with a reactive and responsive approach, rapidly jumping on trends and leveraging real-time insight to optimise performance. We undertake rigorous testing, so we’re never reliant on assumptions or hunches; our results follow the direction the numbers tell us.
As the campaign progresses, the level of insight will increase, enabling us to discover more about your audience and continue to get the most for your money. We’ll review the attribution of sales and goals to develop a clear understanding of what each channel contributes from introducers to sales-clinchers, helping to pinpoint where to allocate your marketing spend for sustained growth.
Reporting & Realignment
As we work, we’ll regularly update you with weekly and monthly reports, relaying the information in easy-to-understand insight that demonstrates the strategy’s impact. We’ll coordinate how we do this with you, so the reporting delivers the information you need in the manner you’d expect.
These insights consistently improve the strategy, ensuring your marketing focuses on what your audience wants. We rapidly utilise the results from our experimentation and analysis, allowing you to stay ahead of the curve. Alongside this constant tweaking, we’ll organise quarterly strategy reviews to discuss the findings in extensive detail. This also gives us both the opportunity to explore the broader business goals as and when they change.

PPC FAQ’s
PPC specialists at Soap Media manage your internet pay-per-click advertising campaigns and are focused upon one thing: delivering exceptional ROI. That means we take the time to fully understand your objectives and target personas, audit the wider competitor landscape, and then create a PPC strategy based on keywords, audiences, ads and creatives. The result will not only smash your KPIs, but do so in a way that saves you time and money.
We regularly report on PPC work, on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis, or around a timescale that works for you. We focus on making reports as easy to understand as possible, including the meaningful data that drives the ongoing strategy. We’ll keep you up to date with a narrative that explains what we’ve been doing, what ROI you’ve seen as a result of our work, and what we’re going to do next to level up your paid campaigns.
Quality Score is a Google Adwords figure that estimates your keywords and PPC ads’ quality and relevance. A “good score” therefore depends on the type of keyword that you’re bidding on. Google automatically gives new keywords a Quality Score of 6, so a “good score” should be 7 at a minimum. That said, your branded keywords should ideally possess a Quality Score of up to 10, and your high-intent keywords should be aiming for closer to 9.
Remarketing means that you are re-engaging with potential customers via email marketing. A remarketing campaign involves collecting and compiling user information into audience lists that are then nurtured with sales emails. Retargeting usually means that you serve ads to potential customers based on cookies and a user’s activity on your site. Retargeting uses third party networks like the Google Display Network to potentially reach millions of users.
PPC and SEO work best when integrated and aligned. “Which is better” in isolation depends entirely on what you’re looking to achieve. Paid ads appear above the organic listings that SEO seeks to influence, and can usually begin to deliver results more quickly. Targeting for PPC can also be far more granular. SEO is more focused upon generating organic traffic over the mid-long term, and this traffic carries no attached cost-per-click and tends to have more staying power.
