Place Google Ads in Front of the Right Audience With Our PPC Services
Sometimes it is not possible to get to the top of the search engine rankings quickly enough or you may be offering a product that is outside your usual target market. In these cases, it may be useful to utilize our affordable Chicago PPC agency to create and manage PPC management for your online business using Google Ads or Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads).
What is Pay-Per-Click Advertising?
Pay per click advertising, or sponsored search, is an effective part of a complete web marketing plan for any size businesses. Advertising with our Chicago PPC agency delivers targeted traffic and conversions and will yield results faster than organic search engine optimization. Google Ads or Bing ads are the links that you see in the “Sponsored Links” section of Google. You do not pay for these advertisements on a normal rate-by-ad basis, but you pay a fee each time somebody actually clicks on your advertisement to get to your website.
How Can Pay-Per-Click Advertising Management Help You?
Successful pay-per-click advertising programs offer incredible revenue and brand-building opportunities. It is important that your pay-per-click campaigns are managed properly in order to stop you from overpaying for your ad and to ensure that your advertisement is listed as high as possible and for as long as possible. Our Chicago PPC campaign management team will set up and manage your pay per click campaigns to maximize the effectiveness of your advertising budget. Our core focus is to expand our clients’ paid advertising campaigns, drive quality targeted traffic that will foster conversions and increase revenue, while decreasing the cost per acquisition.

What is the Difference Between Organic Traffic vs. Paid Traffic?
When it comes to search, deciding whether to dedicate budget to organic search efforts (SEO) or paid search efforts (PPC) is not easy. The right answer depends on a variety of factors including audience behavior, available budget, and your organization’s marketing goals. See the chart below for the basic differences.
| Where your content appears | How you can get more visits | How long the results take | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Organic traffic | You can occupy different positions on SERPs depending on how relevant your content is considered to be by the search engine, but some of the ads on the first page will always be higher | By optimizing for search engines in a way that outperforms your competitors | It is different for everyone, but strategies can take months or years to have a significant impact | You don’t have to pay to appear in organic SERPs, but you do have to pay to create and optimize content, and invest in building links to increase your domain’s authority |
| Paid traffic | At the top and the bottom of search results pages | By managing bidding options, targeting options, and tweaking ad copy to outperform your competitors | You can start getting visits and conversions on the day that you launch your ads, if properly optimized | You pay based on the chosen model, e.g. cost-per-click (CPC) |
