PPC is a great way to generate immediate traffic and boost sales. A marketer shouldn’t doubt the potential of Pay-per-click (PPC). But the return on investment that it delivers has a shorter life span, unlike quality SEO.
How to get in front of the right people is a big question all companies ask of their marketing teams, who in turn ask the same question of their agency. Given that paid media can give you a quick short term spike its no wonder lots of companies still opt for 'paid' media advertising, but in a world where the traditional media landscape for marketeers is shrinking daily is it sustainable?
With huge Yoy increases in the adoption of Ad Blocking, and a forecast of $100 billion in Ad Fraud by 2023 brands need to find new ways to compete in what is now a very busy digital universe.
Once your ads are live and the money is paid to Google, that budget is gone. But let’s say that you get loyal customers, subscribers, and gave your brand a much-needed exposure. Is it worth the one-time expense, no? Here's the catch. You will need the same budget next month to attract more customers. The value that you get from this expense is limited.
However, if you would have invested that same amount of money in search engine optimization and content marketing, you would have earned something valuable. You may have optimized the category pages, created quality content for the target audience, and attracted quality back-links from genuine influential bloggers relevant to your niche.
'Earned' media is just that, you've invested time and effort in building a relationship with your tribe by providing what they perceive as valuable content, and for many you've also given them the opportunity to get involved with a conversation with you as a result of that content, as such you have started to 'earn' that relationship with them, which requires you to continue to nurture and build, not recruit and forget.
All of which shows that your a listening brand, and not just interested in a quick buck from me.
Maybe, just maybe, 'Content Discovery' via Social Media is the Superpower you and your company have been looking for all along?
SEO and PPC have two key differences. The first is that paid advertisement displays on the top of the organic SEO results. The traffic that you get from organic SEO comes free of cost, while every click from PPC costs you. Both methods can work together if you implement each one of them with a robust strategy.
