PPC, or pay-per-click advertising, is a model where you pay a platform each time someone clicks your ad. It appears in search results, social feeds, video and websites. PPC can bring local enquiries quickly when set up carefully.

How PPC works

On Google Ads, advertisers bid on keywords and the platform runs an auction using bid, ad quality and expected impact. Meta Ads use audience targeting and creative performance in a similar auction.

Where PPC runs

• Search ads on Google and Bing
• Display and YouTube ads
• Shopping ads for products
• Social ads on Meta, LinkedIn and others

Why beginners should start small

Set a small test budget, choose one goal and track conversions from the first day. Learn from real data before scaling.

Key terms

• CPC: cost per click
• CTR: click-through rate

• CPA: cost per acquisition
• ROAS: return on ad spend
