The PPC Process

Francesca Taylor • April 20, 2023

When you sign up for PPC with an external agency, you don’t want to be left in the dark about where your money is going. At Infoserve, our team is committed to ensuring we feel like a part of your business, not just a tag on. 


So we’re exposing our PPC process for your ease of mind. 


This short guide explains exactly what to expect from first contact with our PPC experts to the tools you will receive to monitor the progress of your ads. 


Let’s get started. 


What to expect with Infoserve PPC campaigns

1/ Introduction 

In our initial calls with you, we’ll need to understand your goals with PPC. We will discuss your expectations, the number of services you wish to promote and potential budget. 


At this stage, we will be able to brief you on what to expect in our process and answer any questions you have.


2/ Client Briefing

At the Client Briefing stage of our PPC process, our team will want to gain a deeper understanding of your business in order to target your audience with your messaging. 


We will work in the background to discover related keywords and competitors as well as identify potential strengths and weaknesses with your website. 


To ensure we are working for you, we will need to know: 


  • Who you are as a business
  • Your primary products/services
  • Your unique selling points as a brand
  • The products/services that drive the most revenue within your business
  • Geographical areas you’d like to target


We will also require up-to-date information about where you are in your marketing efforts because a website’s SEO, listings and Design can impact ad performance. 


3/ Discussion with Product Teams

From the information we have gathered, we will be able to discuss internally and create a sufficient proposal along with a quote that incorporates your budget. 


4/ Quote and Proposal

We then create a quote and proposal based on initial research and planning conducted to meet the initial brief. 


This can differ depending on the industry as well as your requirements and budget. 


First we undertake keyword research if the account plan includes search campaigns. This involves looking into historical data for keywords, potential cost-per-click, and search volumes for the target geographical areas. 


We base our budget recommendation on this data.


If the account plan includes a shopping campaign, we first audit the product feed to identify potential blockers and areas where the product feed needs improvement. We issue some diagnostics and recommendations at this stage before starting any work on our campaigns.


Our proposal includes an overview of the channels and campaign types we'll deploy to meet our client's marketing objectives and recommended budgets.


5/ Execution

If you are happy with our proposal, we’ll begin the process of creating your ads. We create ad copy and keyword strategies using insights we have gained over decades of managing ad campaigns. 


We also utilise Microsoft Advertising UI and Google Ads UI to open opportunities to achieve better overall performance. 


In order to analyse campaign success, we will need access to track your website through Google Analytics, a code snippet or Google Tag Manager. This will not impact the usability or security of your website. Instead, it gives us the tools we need to improve your campaign performance. 


6/ Follow Up 

To ensure you’re fully satisfied with the ongoing progress of your PPC campaigns, our team conducts follow up calls where we give you a comprehensive breakdown of your results, as well as propose strategies for increasing conversions. 


PPC Dashboard: 


Our PPC Dashboard gives on-demand access to the metrics that matter most. The platform uses this data to make adjustments to the placement of your campaign budget, aiding keywords that are driving sales and shifting away from ones that are underperforming. 


You will have full visibility of your dashboard to monitor how many enquiries, phone calls and form fills your PPC campaign is producing.

Do you want to have a go at SEO (search engine optimisation), but keep getting lost amongst all the jargon and technical terms? You’re not alone. SEO consists of advice and tips that have grown, changed, and advanced for years, and even the most experienced marketers started where you are: by looking at this information and wondering where to start. But, blog copywriting doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, if you remove the jargon and word wizardry, you can create a piece of blog content that works. And, our copywriting team at Infoserve wanted to break down the basics.

Consistency in web design is essential. Why? Not only does it make your website look professional and trustworthy, but it also ensures that users can interact with it easily, which increases conversion rates. Retaining a predictable structure to your website might seem limiting to your overall design but it’s actually critical when it comes to understanding user behaviour, and creating a user journey that flows naturally. As web design experts, Infoserve knows all about it. And we are going to share some top tips on how to make sure your website is adhering to structural patterns that are proven to boost engagement.

When we discuss web design or copywriting with a client, one of the questions Infoserve will always ask is: ‘what are your USPs?’ However, we have noticed that there has been some discourse online regarding the relevance of USPs in modern marketing, and whether they really hold as much value in 2024. With an overload of marketing messages and customers bombarded by choices online, some argue that USPs are no longer effective in grabbing attention. But, when standing out against your competitors has become even more of a challenge, can we really afford to let them go?

Contact pages are often overlooked by business owners and, at Infoserve , we believe the reason for this is because they seem like the least exciting page on a website. Many people think that all it takes to create a solid contact page is to add your contact details, a form to fill, and a little bit of text encouraging your customers to get in touch. And, sure, these features are essential. But there’s so much more to it than that.

The preconception that businesses only make profit in the fourth quarter is a common trap that many new e-commerce companies fall into. It is true that many shops, particularly bricks and mortar shops, will make the bulk of their annual profit in the final months of the year due to the Christmas shopping rush, but this doesn’t mean that it is impossible for profit to be made during the rest of the year. This is for many reasons including the fact that Christmas is only celebrated within certain cultures, and the need for products doesn’t suddenly stop once January comes around. So, how do you ensure you’re reaching your customers outside of this peak selling period? Let’s take a look.

We like to think that Google has a monopoly on PPC ads but if you look a little closer into Microsoft advertising , you may just find another arrow to stash in your marketing quiver. One that could even hit your target at a greater speed, and with greater accuracy depending on how it is applied. In fact: Bing has more than 500 million unique visitors each month - Backlinko At Infoserve , our PPC team knows all about it.

On July 31, 2024, Google will remove the chat feature from Google Business Profiles. Small, local businesses will know just how useful this function can be as it allows customers to contact you directly from Google Maps to make a booking. Now that it is being removed, your company may be affected, but how will this change impact the way that customers can contact you, and what can you do to ensure that you are easy to reach? Join Infoserve as we walk you through the key changes that you need to be aware of.
