To be successful requires experience, attention to detail and hard work with dedicated resource for each campaign, a mix Planet prides itself on.

Exhaustive keyword research & analysis

The key to successful pay per click advertising is to be as targeted with your keywords as possible. We at Planet will make sure your pay per click - PPC campaign has a high conversion rate. This can be achieved by ensuring the following steps are included in the pay per click - PPC process:

  • Analysis of your market

  • Understanding your customers

  • Studying your competitors

  • Knowledge of your services

Once this is done, we can then create a list of pay per click - PPC keywords that will not only be used to find your products but will also drive new customers to your site.

Choosing the most obvious search terms is not always the best strategy to go for. For example; if you are based in the north of England and sell mp3 players of 10GB and above, it would be easy to bid on general search terms such as mp3 or mp3 player. However, these two terms will be extremely competitive, will cost you a lot of money and will not get you many customers, even with the large amount of searches they get. If you ensure your campaign focuses more on niche terms such as 20GB mp3 player or mp3 players Manchester, you may get less traffic but certainly more customers. This style of conversion minded pay per click - PPC is what Planet are best at and it requires the experience and expertise that our team have gained working on pay per click - PPC projects over the past few years.

Exhaustive pay per click - PPC keyword research helps to define the keywords Planet will find to make your pay per click - PPC campaign the best it possibly can be. We take time and effort to cover off every possible keyword a potential customer may use. This leads to a more targeted and manageable pay per click - PPC campaign.

Suitable landing page creation

You may require some additional relevant content for your website so that when the customer clicks on your search engine ad, they find useful content relating to their chosen search term. If your website does not already contain suitable entry pages, the team at Planet can design and build a set of pay per click - PPC landing pages that will be integrated into your website. These pages will be designed with the underlying aim to create conversions. Each landing page will need to create an impact and be compelling with punchy messages and prominent call to actions.

The pay per click - PPC specialists at Planet have many years of experience in designing the most effective landing pages. We understand the importance of the layout of each landing page, such as where the call to action points should be placed in order to attract a potential customers eye. We also know how best to ensure your visitors convert into customers by offering a short contact form or callback option on each page rather than forcing the customer to click through to a general contact page in order to get more information from you.

Pay per click - PPC landing pages should be more concise than pages suitable for natural search listings. However, the experts at Planet also take best practice SEO techniques into consideration when designing and building pay per click - PPC landing pages. The merger of pages that are suitable for pay per click - PPC , yet also being ideal for natural search listings, is now imminent so should be considered when starting any pay per click - PPC campaign.

Bid gap exploitation

Yahoo! is considered as one of the top 3 search engines in the world and is one of the engines Planet includes in every pay per click - PPC campaign. Unlike its competitors; Google and MSN, Yahoo! operates on a visible auction system, rather than a hidden one. This means, when managing your pay per click - PPC campaign, we have the advantage of viewing your competitors bids. The pay per click - PPC team at Planet will find bid gaps in the auction to get your ads in high positions but at the best possible price.

Finding these bid gaps is a continual process requiring much care, expertise and attention. If too little attention is given to your bids you could easily be pushed out of the auction by your competitors or even worse you may be forced to pay more per click than you wish. Planet will ensure your pay per click - PPC campaign in Yahoo! is monitored and you are always paying the optimum price for your big search terms.

Keyword tracking to conversion

Planet offer complete keyword tracking to conversion. Track your customers from the moment they click on your search engine advert right through until they perform the desired action. There are two types of conversion points; primary and secondary conversion points.

Primary conversion points are typically found on e-commerce websites and are where the click turns into a customer such as purchasing products online.

Secondary conversion points include any click that turns into a lead or that alters the status of the visitor from an anonymous click, to where they leave some details about themselves, such as:

  • Submitting a completed registration form

  • Requesting a brochure

  • Recommending a friend

  • Requesting an email newsletter

  • Call back request

With our keyword tracking you can get useful information on how your keywords are performing for your pay per click - PPC campaign. By analysing the tracking data, we can find out which are the best performing keywords by producing the most number of conversions. We can then concentrate on those that are turning clicks into customers to ensure that optimal cost per click is achieved whilst ensuring your website remains in the optimum positions. By tracking to conversion we can also determine which key phrases are not doing so well and make informed decisions on what to do with them to ensure your campaign is as profitable as it can be.
