Oklahoma PPC Agency

Our Oklahoma PPC Management Game Plans

PPC management refers to creating and optimizing Oklahoma paid ads campaigns. Despite that simple explanation, let's explore it further.

To provide professional PPC management, a PPC advertising company for Oklahoma often starts by getting to know your company and its business model. Since the way you approach paid ads for a local Oklahoma small business is much different than how you would for an ecommerce brand, this information helps determine the next steps.

Service providers in Oklahoma, for example, are often only searching for quality leads. This can be accomplished through paid ads that generates traffic to an optimized landing page or sales funnel. Start with Google Local Service Ads or Facebook Lead Forms if those digital assets don't yet exist or need to be substantially improved.

In contrast, ecommerce brands are most likely to be interested in online sales. Pay-per-click advertising can be used to build traffic to an optimized product or category page. You might even want to include Google Shopping Campaigns in some cases. We've even utilized sales funnels to help sell products, subscriptions, and services.

Understanding the metrics that will be used to optimize and scale Oklahoma PPC is the next step. For paid advertising to be effective, most Oklahoma paid ad firms will implement email collection strategies, such as squeeze pages or lead magnets. For ad budgets over $1,000/mo, it often makes sense to integrate with Wicked Reports, Triple Whale, or Northbeam to better understand ad attribution and reporting.

Your Oklahoma small business should use a variety of advertising plans and marketing tools to be successful with paid ads. Some of the best paid advertising packages in Oklahoma include:

• Get traffic from search engines, social networks, and third-party websites to your digital assets (websites, sales funnels, etc).
• Make money online or through qualified leads for your Oklahoma business.
• Better understand ad attribution through the integration of third-party attribution software.
• Provide social proof with case studies, white papers, video testimonials, etc.
• Engage users in story creation, email collection, and user generated content.
• Test ad creatives across various ad placements and between different media formats.

Our PPC management firm is happy to provide Oklahoma City, and Tulsa businesses with expert PPC advertising consulting packages.

Pricing for Oklahoma Paid Ads Management

The cost of our PPC management packages is calculated based on the monthly time allocation you request for your campaigns. Below is the starting cost for our PPC ads management plans, but we are happy to have a conversation about adjusting the budget if your ad spend or service requirements exceed our initial estimate.

How Paid Advertising Helps Oklahoma Organizations

Traffic increases almost instantly with Oklahoma paid advertising.

It is entirely dependent on the quality of your ad creatives, landing pages, and business model whether or not traffic increases lead to conversions.

The first recommendation we offer to Oklahoma small businesses interested in running paid advertising is to start slowly.

Make sure you have realistic goals, a working sales funnel, and the ability to gather actionable data before diving into paid ads or scaling your ad campaigns.

If you're not getting conversions, don't blame Facebook or Google. The issue is often in the ad creatives, campaign settings, or sales process.

Oklahoma small businesses can benefit greatly from the addition of paid advertising to their website marketing tactics when everything comes together. It's important to keep in mind that increased traffic does not always translate into more conversions.

How We Manage Oklahoma PPC

With in-depth knowledge of the latest PPC trends for nearby businesses in Oklahoma, we are a team of paid advertising specialists. We have experience across dozens of business industries, so we can help you generate traffic and conversions to your Oklahoma digital assets.

Keyword Research

In the context of paid advertising, keyword research largely relates to Google Ads and Bing Ads search campaigns. After all, Bing and Google only show ads based on what people search for.

For example, a person searching for a roofing company in Oklahoma might search "Oklahoma Roofer" on a search engine. Targeting that exact phrase wouldn't require in-depth keyword research for that Oklahoma roofing company's paid advertising manager.

However, what if the exact match keyword isn't generating enough search volume and the Oklahoma roofing company needs to expand their advertising reach? Researching keywords would be necessary for the solution.

After discussing options, the next step might involve the paid ads manager talking with the Oklahoma roofing company what services they want to target more often and where. It might also require some broadening of the keyword targeting.

As an example, the PPC manager might find that "Oklahoma roofing companies" and "Oklahoma roof repair" have high search volumes. The first phrase targets the plural form of the business industry within Oklahoma. The second phrase is targeting a slightly different service, which might result in a more lucrative roof replacement project if the repair work is extensive.

Negative keyword lists can also benefit from keyword research. You can use these to prevent your PPC advertising from showing in search queries that you know won't convert.

A person searching for "free roof repair work" or "how to advertise to roofing companies" is unlikely to buy a roof replacement. Your paid ads may appear if you use broad keyword targeting without negative keywords such as "free" or "advertise".

As you can see, no matter how obvious your keyword research needs might be at the start of building out your campaign, they become more complicated as you begin to scale your ads and reduce wasted ad spend.

Audience Research

Audience research is often mentioned as part of scaling social media ads on Facebook and Instagram in Oklahoma paid advertising campaigns. There are options within Google Ads and Bing Ads for audience targeting as well though.

Let's take a look at audience research and targeting within Facebook Ads.

Facebook custom audiences were heavily relied upon by Oklahoma's PPC advertising managers in the past. As a matter of fact, one of the most appealing features of Facebook Ads was its ability to collect data on users, which advertisers in Oklahoma flocked to take advantage of.

A number of factors, including data privacy and machine learning, have had an impact on custom audiences over time.

When Apple released its iOS 14.5 update, they included a pop up message that allowed users to easily opt out of personalized ad tracking. As a result, Facebook had difficulty tracking mobile device behavior. Even ad attribution reporting was affected.

Then came improvements to their machine learning algorithms, which greatly diminished the need for custom audiences and lookalike audiences for most Oklahoma ad firms. By choosing your own interest-based targeting, you tend to do more harm than good because their algorithm often understands your ideal audience better than you do.

Though there will still be plenty of Oklahoma paid advertising companies using custom audiences, the trend is moving toward broad targeting. You can see it for yourself. Every few months Facebook rolls out updates that gradually remove lesser-used interest-based targeting options. They even keep changing out "Advantage Detailed Targeting" is pushed in the ad set creation.

Interested in another take on audience targeting? Social Media Examiner's blog article does a good job of explaining recent changes.

This isn't to say audience research and targeting is going away. Oklahoma ad campaigns will likely always have targeting options that can be manipulated for extra performance.

Landing Page Creation & Optimization

The quality of your landing page will be a big factor in the success of your Oklahoma paid ads campaigns.

Our first step when managing a paid advertising campaign in Oklahoma involves reviewing the landing pages for best practices. In this review, we consider the following factors and more:

• Is there a benefit-focused headline?
• Are there any images above the fold?
• Is the content written in a compelling manner?
• Am I able to find a lead form right away?
• Are the call to actions easily noticeable?
• Does the page load quickly?
• Is there social proof?
• Am I able to load the page on a mobile device?

There are so many factors that come into the design and development of a quality landing page.

Please, don't spend money on Oklahoma paid advertising until you have a landing page that follows best practices!

Ideally, you should never consider your landing page to be finished. Try running A/B testing every few months to continue refining your Oklahoma sales pitch.

Conversion Funnel Development

As an alternative to a landing page, you might want to consider building out one or more sales funnels. We rely heavily on sales funnels for lead generation, email audience building, and even online purchases.

For example, we have a client that promotes an online fitness challenge that you could even join from Oklahoma. While managing their website advertising we built multiple sales funnels within Click Funnels. Here are some of the funnels we made:

• We used squeeze pages to help capture email addresses while building awareness for the program.
• We used lead magnets to provide people with healthy eating tips, fitness tips, webinars, and sneak peaks in exchange for an email address.
• We used application funnels to push people toward the idea of wanting to apply to participate in exclusive programs.
• We used sales letter funnels to serve as the registration system for the online program.

There are many different types of funnels, so your Oklahoma organization isn't limited to only these options. Just keep in mind these can be incredibly helpful for gauging interest in a product or service, building out an email subscriber base, and selling a product or service online.

If you do decide to implement a funnel, take your time at it. Doing this type of work yourself can take weeks of training, whether you learn it at home by yourself or at a technical school in Oklahoma. It can take years of experience to master funnels, however. You can save yourself some time by searching for a PPC ads management firm, like WebCitz, to handle the heavy lifting!

Conversion Rate Optimization

Having a clear understanding of your conversion rate is critical to making informed advertising decisions. The average conversion rate is between 1-3%, but that varies greatly between industries, products, and services throughout Oklahoma.

Let's run through a basic scenario to help illustrate the impact of conversion rates.

1. You sell a $100 sweatshirt in Oklahoma on your website.
2. You have a 1% conversion rate, meaning for every 100 Oklahoma residents that visit your website you sell 1 sweatshirt.
3. You have a $0.50 average cost per click (CPC), meaning for each person in Oklahoma that visits your website you spend 50 cents.
4. To sell 1 sweatshirt, you need 100 clicks from paid advertising, which would cost you $50. This is known as your cost per acquisition (CPA).
5. Your return on ad spend (ROAS) would be 2x, meaning for every dollar spent in paid ads you get two dollars in return.

For most Oklahoma businesses, this return on ad spend wouldn't be acceptable unless the margins were great.

To improve the situation, you hire a PPC advertising firm to modify your campaign settings, ad creatives, and landing page experience.

Let's assume those improvements bring your conversion rate up from 1% to 2%. That means for every 100 visits to your website you now sell 2 sweatshirts. This is twice the return on ad spend! You might be profitable now selling those sweatshirts.

Understanding your conversion rate, and knowing how to improve it, can be crucial to the management of your Oklahoma paid advertising.

Ad Creation

This is potentially one of the most important aspects of a Facebook Ads account.

When you run Facebook Ads or Instagram Ads in Oklahoma, you are mostly targeting a cold audience that is more interested in quickly scrolling by advertisements in favor of seeing what their friends and family are up to online.

You should develop an understanding of how to capture someone's attention in a split second.

To do this, you need to build out attractive ad creatives that make someone stop for a second and say to themselves, "wait a second, what...?"

This doesn't happen by running the same ad creative over and over and over again. Even if it is a great ad, it will eventually become stale. You should change things up frequently, even if you are just targeting people in Oklahoma.

If you don't change out your ad creatives and test new ideas, you'll suffer from what is called "ad fatigue." This is the state in which your target audience (in Oklahoma and beyond) has already seen your ad so many times that they instinctively scroll by it without ever interacting with your brand.

Don't be caught in this situation. You should understand when to pause an ad because it isn't performing as well as it once did. You should understand when to test new ideas, especially if you are emotionally attached to an ad that you spent a lot of time making.

This is one of the benefits of working with a PPC management firm that helps Oklahoma businesses, since we are proponents of testing new ad creatives regularly.

Ad Attribution Consulting

Knowing your ad attribution is important. If you don't know what ad attribution is, it is the process of determining which advertisement resulted in the conversion you experienced on your Oklahoma website or funnel.

You might be suffering from ad attribution concerns and not even know it.

Do you rely on Facebook Ads or Google Ads to tell you which campaigns, ad sets, and ads are performing the best?

If so, you are relying on incomplete data to form critical decisions about when to turn off or scale an ad.

For Oklahoma ecommerce businesses running on Shopify, we recommend you look at ad attribution companies like Triple Whale or Northbeam to get a much clearer picture of your ad attribution.

For Oklahoma content-based websites, or ecommerce websites in platforms other than Shopify, check out ad attribution companies like Wicked Reports or Hyros to get a better idea for how well each of your paid ads campaigns are doing.

Types of Paid Ads for Oklahoma PPC Campaigns

The options for running paid advertising for your Oklahoma company are numerous. The following are some of Oklahoma's most common paid advertisements options.

Local Advertising throughout Oklahoma

Local ads for your Oklahoma organization can be run through nearly any advertising platform. One platform may be more effective for your local business in Oklahoma than another. It is important to try out every available option to see which works best for your needs. Here are a few options for nearby advertising.

Google is going to offer two options.

In the first case, you can run traditional Google Ads, possibly using the newer Performance Max campaign type. The Google algorithm finds the best combination of headlines, images, videos, and service locations to bring you local customers using this type of dynamic ad campaign. We often use Performance Max campaigns for professional services companies in and around Oklahoma, such as accountants, lawyers, dentists, and physicians.

Alternatively, if your business qualifies, Google offers a Local Service Ads option. Using Local Service Ads, you get charged a flat fee for each lead the platform generates. We often use Google Local Service Ads for home services contractors in Oklahoma, like plumbers, electricians, roofers, and heating installers.

Facebook Ads can also be used to target people in Oklahoma. The first step is to set up a campaign with ad sets restricted to Oklahoma, or specific ZIP codes within Oklahoma. For all types of Oklahoma businesses, we often use Facebook Ads.

Social Ads for Oklahoma Websites

Pretty much any online ad you see on a social network website is going to qualify as a social media ad.

It's important to keep the ad creatives fresh when running social media marketing. The performance of your campaign will gradually decline if you do not rotate your ad creatives every couple of weeks. For higher spending ad campaigns, you might need to look at weekly ad creative changes.

Using social ads allows you to reach audiences who have never thought of your product or service, or aren't thinking about it right now. The opposite is true when you run search engine ads since your ads will only show when someone is actively searching for what your Oklahoma business has to offer.

It can also be a curse, as conversion rates often drop when people aren't closer to making an immediate purchase.

Search Engine Marketing within Oklahoma

If you know people are looking online for the products or services you offer, you'll want to invest in search advertisements.

Some people refer to this as Oklahoma Search Engine Marketing, or SEM. There are different ways to explain search ads, which are advertisements displayed on search engines' search results pages.

If you've been running search engine ads on Google for a while and have been successful at it, we suggest considering copying the campaigns over to the Bing Ads platform. According to a StatCounter study from October 2022, about 3.57% of online users use Bing as their primary search engine.

Display Ads throughout Oklahoma

There are display ads on message boards, chat rooms, game lounges, news websites (sometimes even local Oklahoma news stations), gossip websites, and more.

Bing Ads and Google Ads both offer these.

To get started with display ads, you just need a set of ad creatives in different image sizes. Additionally, you should have a general idea of your target audience, but both ad platforms have algorithms that help you produce results.

Retargeting Ads in Oklahoma

Not everyone is going to convert during their first experience with your Oklahoma website, landing page, or sales funnel.

Retargeting ads are almost always recommended to help bring people back to your website after they have weighed their options.

Almost any ad platform can be used for retargeting ads.

Shopping Ads for Oklahoma Ecommerce Businesses

This type of search ad was popularized by Google Shopping Campaigns.

To get started with Google Shopping, you just need an ecommerce website, a product feed (CSV or TXT), a Google Merchant Center account, and a Google Ads account for your Oklahoma storefront.

With these tools in place, you'll be able to provide Google Ads an updated list of all your accurate product data, including the title, SKU, image, price, and availability. From there, they will be able to find the right types of search queries to display your products at the top of the search results page.

Video Ads for Oklahoma Small Businesses

You can run video ads on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and other social networking websites.

If you are interested in running YouTube Ads, you'll just need to set up a video ads campaign in Google Ads.

To run video ads in Facebook or Instagram, you'll need a working Facebook Ads account.

Both ad platforms offer excellent conversion opportunities with video ads. We frequently use video ads to showcase product launches, custom services, personal introductions, and more!

If you have the budget to support ad creatives in video format, look to implement them into your Oklahoma paid advertising campaigns.
