Build Traffic and Generate Leads Through PPC Advertising
The digital landscape is changing every day. Every business has a website, social media channels, email campaigns. We work remotely, shop online, and pick professionals to help us out with major life events based on what we see on Google.
It’s a crowded, noisy marketplace. What do you need to do to stand out? As a business owner, how do you choose the right digital advertising strategies so you bring traffic and potential customers to your website faster?
For many businesses, the answer is pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. PPC is an effective way to get in front of your target audience. It generates results, as well as valuable data you can use to make informed marketing decisions.
But the decisions to make can be overwhelming. Where do you start? How do you find the time to navigate PPC campaigns while running your business? And how do you know if you’re making progress?
If you find yourself asking any of the above questions, it sounds like you need an expert strategy for your PPC campaigns. 9Sail can help with that. We’re a PPC agency that works with professional services industries across the country. We have the experience and insight to help you achieve your goals with our data-driven PPC ad campaigns and PPC management services.

A Hands-On Approach to Pay-Per-Click Advertising
We’ll be honest with you: some digital marketing strategies take time to work. Search engine optimization, one of our areas of specialization, is powerful and effective, but it can take months before seeing results.
Sometimes you don’t have that kind of time. That’s where PPC comes into play.
What is PPC?
Pay-per-click advertising is a type of internet marketing. With a PPC campaign, a business pays a fee when one of its advertisements is clicked.
This means that you don’t have to wait for people to come to your site. While costs vary depending on your industry, it’s faster than SEO and can give you the short-term results you’re looking for.
PPC Options for Your Business
When it comes to PPC options, you have lots of them. Search engine marketing—like Google AdWords—is a popular form of PPC.
How does it work? Businesses bid on keywords important to their business in an auction. Depending on their bid, they’ll be placed higher or lower in the search results. If a visitor clicks on your ad, you pay that fee.
But Google’s AdWords isn’t the only option out there for PPC advertising. Social media sites, such as YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, and LinkedIn, also use the pay-per-click model for their own paid advertising.

Frequently Asked Questions About PPC
Does PPC work?
PPC is a fast and it’s effective for reaching your audience and bringing in new customers:
- Click-throughs from PPC results convert at a 1.5 times higher rate than their organic counterparts
- Leads from search engines have a 14.6% close rate
- Search ads can increase brand awareness by 80%

That being said, we believe it’s best when part of a long-term, comprehensive marketing strategy.
To help figure out what role PPC should play in your digital marketing activities, consider these questions:
- What are my goals for PPC?
- How are other businesses in my industry using it? Do they get the kind of results I’m hoping for?
- What’s my budget?
- What’s my team’s ability to manage a PPC campaign?
- What else can I do to support my online presence through PPC and SEO?
How long does it take to see results from PPC?
One of the benefits of PPC is that it delivers results quickly compared to other digital marketing tactics. While results do depend on an individual client’s budget, timeline, competition, products or services, and goals, campaigns can start driving leads as early as the first few days after launch. (However, it can take up to several weeks—as we said, timelines can vary.)
Are PPC ads worth it?
When you’re talking about your marketing budget, you want to get a good return on your investment. So it’s normal to wonder if something like PPC ads is worth the money.
While every client is different, PPC ads can be an excellent investment. Not only do they deliver strong results quickly, but the right strategy can also provide fantastic value when your team can bargain for searches, resulting in cost-effective traffic and lead generation.
Does PPC work for small businesses?
Small businesses can sometimes feel adrift in the digital marketing world. With smaller staffs and fewer resources, they often wonder if it’s possible to run a successful PPC campaign while staying within their budgets.
The answer: Yes. You don’t have to have a massive marketing budget to be highly successful with PPC ads.
PPC allows you complete control over your ads and how much you want to spend—at any time! You can set daily limits so you don’t overspend. You can choose your keywords, target audience, devices, and more. PPC also delivers faster results, meaning you can start converting more leads sooner. (And, of course, generating more revenue!) PPC also offers you the opportunity to collect valuable data, run A/B rests, and explore new markets before making a big investment.
Why is leveraging PPC important?
Keywords are competitive, especially for industries like the legal and construction industries. Lots of firms and businesses are jostling for the same impressions, clicks, and leads.
This can make it hard—really hard sometimes—to get top rankings on a search engine or show up for your target audience on Facebook.
But with the right paid advertising strategy, you can climb right to the top of search results more quickly so potential customers see you. This gives life to your marketing campaigns, increases your brand awareness, and even boosts your ability to rank for in-demand keywords.
In short: PPC is a fast track for your digital marketing. That’s why we provide PPC services to our clients. We lead high-converting clients right to your website and provide easy-to-follow routes down your sales funnel.
