Redmond PPC Agency

Our Redmond, WA PPC Management Campaigns

PPC Management refers to creating and optimizing Redmond paid advertising campaigns. Despite that simple explanation, let's explore it further.

A paid advertising firm for Redmond often begins by getting to know your company and its business model before providing expert PPC ads management. Since the way you approach paid advertising for a local area Redmond small business is much different than how you would for an ecommerce brand, this information helps determine the next steps.

For example, localized Redmond service providers are often only interested in qualified leads. To accomplish this, PPC advertising can boost traffic to a landing page or sales funnel that is optimized. Start with Google Local Service Ads or Facebook Lead Forms if those digital assets don't yet exist or need to be substantially improved.

Alternatively, ecommerce brands tend to be interested in online sales. Using paid ads, you can drive traffic to a page optimized for products or categories. In some cases, it might even make sense to include Google Shopping Campaigns. Our sales funnels have also helped us to sell subscriptions, products, and services.

Understanding the metrics that will be used to optimize and scale Redmond paid ads is the next step. For paid advertising to be effective, most Redmond paid ad agencies will implement email collection tactics, such as squeeze pages or lead magnets. To better understand ad attribution and reporting, it makes sense to integrate with Wicked Reports, Triple Whale, or Northbeam. For that to make sense though, your ad spend should be over $1,000/month.

Your Redmond company should use a variety of advertising strategies and marketing tools to be successful with paid advertising. For example, the best Redmond paid ads services will include tactics to:

• Promote your digital assets (websites, sales funnels, etc.) via search engines, social media channels, and third parties.
• Make your Redmond business more profitable by acquiring qualified leads or selling online.
• Integrate third-party attribution tools to better understand ad attribution.
• Present social proof through case studies, white papers, and video testimonials.
• Build and nurture relationships through user generated content, story creation, and email address collection.
• Test the effectiveness of different ad creatives across different media and ad placements.

In addition to managing Redmond-area PPC campaigns, our team also offers Auburn, Bellevue, Bellingham, Everett, Kennewick, Kent, Kirkland, Renton, Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, and Vancouver small businesses and large corporations a premium PPC ads management service.

How Paid Advertising Helps Redmond, WA Organizations

Traffic increases almost instantly with Redmond paid ads.

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

If you are interested in running paid advertising in Redmond, we recommend that you start slowly.

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

If you run into trouble getting the conversions you were expecting, don't blame Facebook or Google. It is usually the creatives, campaign settings, or sales process that is the problem.

Redmond businesses can benefit greatly from the addition of paid advertising to their digital marketing strategy when everything comes together. Remember, more traffic doesn't always mean more conversions!

How We Manage Redmond, WA Paid Ads

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

Keyword Research

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

A search for "Redmond Roofer" on a search engine, for example, might lead someone to a roofing company in Redmond. Targeting that exact phrase wouldn't require in-depth keyword research for that Redmond roofing company's paid ads manager.

What if, however, that exact match keyword wasn't producing enough search volume and the Redmond roofing company wanted to increase their traffic and conversions? To solve the problem, keyword research would be required.

The next steps might involve the paid advertising manager discussing with the Redmond roofing company what types of services they want to target more often and within what geographic areas. A broader keyword targeting tactic than exact matches might also be necessary.

As an example, the Washington PPC manager might find that "Sammamish, WA roofing companies" and "Redmond roof repair" have high search volumes. The first phrase targets a location nearby Redmond that might still be within the company's service area. If the repair work is extensive, the second phrase might result in a more lucrative roof replacement project.

Negative keyword lists can also benefit from keyword research. These are used to stop your paid ads from showing in search queries that you know won't produce conversions.

An individual searching for "free roof repair services" or "when to advertise to roofers" is unlikely to buy a new roof. They might see your paid advertising if you use broad keyword targeting without any negative keywords like "free" or "advertise".

You can see that as you scale your ads and reduce wasted ad spend, the needs for keyword research become more complex.

Audience Research

When you hear audience research talked about in Redmond PPC advertising campaigns, it is often within the scope of scaling social ads on Facebook and Instagram. However, Bing Ads and Google Ads also allow audience targeting.

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

Redmond paid ads managers used Facebook's custom audiences extensively in the past. As a matter of fact, one of the most attractive features of Facebook Ads was its ability to collect data on users, which advertisers in Redmond flocked to take advantage of.

The rise of data privacy and machine learning had a significant impact on custom audiences over time.

When Apple released its iOS 14.5 upgrade, they included a pop up message that allowed users to easily opt out of personalized ad tracking. The change negatively affected Facebook's ability to track user behavior across Redmond and beyond. This even affected the accuracy of ad attribution reporting.

For most Redmond advertising firms, machine learning algorithms greatly reduced the need for custom audiences and lookalike audiences. With such sophisticated algorithms, it's often more harmful to choose your own interests compared to letting Facebook figure it out for you.

While there will still be plenty of Redmond paid ads companies relying on custom audiences, the trend is moving toward broad targeting. Don't take our work for it though. If you've been involved in the creation of Facebook ads, you've probably noticed the removal of interest-based targeting options here and there. Maybe you've even seen changes to how "Advantage Detailed Targeting" is recommended during the setup process.

This blog article from Social Media Examiner does a good job of talking about recent edits to audience targeting.

It's not to say audience research and targeting are going away. Redmond ad campaigns will likely always have targeting options that can be manipulated for extra performance.

Optimizing Landing Pages

The quality of your landing page will be a big factor in the success of your Redmond PPC advertising campaigns.

We begin by examining the landing pages on any paid advertising campaign in Redmond to make sure they follow best practices. In this review, we consider the following factors and more:

• Do you have a headline that emphasizes benefits?
• Is there an image above the fold?
• Is the content written in a compelling manner?
• Do you have a lead form I can use right away?
• What is the visibility of the call to action?
• How quickly does the page load?
• Does social proof exist?
• Can I load the page on a mobile device?

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

Until you have a landing page that follows best practices, don't spend money on Redmond paid ads.

You should never consider your landing page complete. For continuous improvement, run A/B testing every few months.

Including a Sales Funnel

As an alternative to a landing page, you might want to consider building out one or more sales funnels. Our lead generation, email marketing, and even online purchases are heavily dependent upon sales funnels.

For example, we have a client that promotes an online fitness challenge that you could even join from Redmond. While managing their digital 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 Redmond 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 Redmond. It can take years of experience to master funnels, however. You can save yourself some time by looking for a PPC 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 Redmond.

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

1. You sell a $100 sweatshirt in Redmond on your website.
2. You have a 1% conversion rate, meaning for every 100 Redmond 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 Redmond that visits your website you spend 50 cents.
4. To sell 1 sweatshirt, you need 100 clicks from PPC 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 advertising you get two dollars in return.

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

To improve the situation, you hire a paid 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 Redmond 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 Redmond, 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 awesome 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 Redmond.

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 Redmond 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 ads management firm that helps Redmond 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 Redmond website or funnel.

You might be suffering from ad attribution issues 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 Redmond 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 Redmond 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 PPC advertising campaigns are doing.

Types of Paid Ads for Redmond, WA PPC Campaigns

The options for running paid ads for your Redmond business are numerous. The following are some of Redmond's most common paid advertisements options.

Local Business Ads within Redmond

Local ads for your Redmond business can be run through nearly any advertising platform. Depending on the nature of your local Redmond business, you may find better success in one platform versus another. To find out which option works best for you, you should try all of the options available. Here are a few options for localized advertising.

From Google, you'll have two options.

As a first step, you can run traditional Google Adwords, possibly using their newer Performance Max campaign type. This is a very dynamic ad campaign type which utilizes multiple headlines, images, videos, and service locations to allow the Google algorithm to find the best combination of assets to bring you customers in Redmond. Performance Max campaigns are used frequently by accounting, legal, dental, and medical professionals in Redmond. Even local stores use this campaign type.

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. Plumbers, electricians, roofers, and heating installers in Redmond often use Google Local Service Ads.

Facebook Ads can also be used to target people in Redmond. This is a little more straightforward, since it just involves setting up a campaign that has ad sets with geographic restrictions to Redmond as a city, or specific Redmond ZIP codes. Local Facebook Ads are often used by Redmond small businesses of all types.

Social Ads throughout Redmond

Almost all online ads you see on social media networks qualify as social media ads.

Maintaining fresh ad creatives is key to social media advertising. If you don't rotate out ad creatives every few weeks your campaign performance will slowly decrease. A weekly change in ad creative is often recommended for higher-spend ad campaigns.

Using social media marketing allows you to reach audiences who have never thought of your product or service, or aren't thinking about it right now. It's quite the opposite when you run search engine marketing since you only get to show them when someone searches for what you offer in Redmond.

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

Search Ads throughout Redmond

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

In some circles, this is referred to as Redmond Search Engine Marketing, or SEM. An advertisement that appears on the search results page of a search engine is called a search ad.

If you have been running search advertising on Google for a while and have been successful, consider copying your campaigns over to Bing Ads. In an October 2022 study from StatCounter, Bing was the primary search engine used by approximately 3.57% of online users.

Display Ads for Redmond Organizations

Many different message boards, chat rooms, game lounges, news websites (even local Redmond news stations), gossip sites, and more run display advertisements.

Google Ads and Bing Ads commonly offer these campaign types.

With display ads, all you need are a few different sizes of ad creatives. Additionally, you should have a general idea of your target audience, but both ad platforms have algorithms that help you produce results.

Retargeting Ads throughout Redmond

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

To help people return to your website after they've thought through various options, retargeting ads are almost always recommended.

Almost any ad platform can be used for retargeting ads.

Shopping Ads for Redmond Ecommerce Organizations

It was Google Shopping Campaigns that popularized this form of search advertising.

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 Redmond storefront.

With these tools, you can provide Google Ads with an accurate list of all your product data, including title, SKU, image, price, and availability. Then, your products will be displayed at the top of search results based on the right types of search queries.

Video Ads within Redmond

Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and other social media networking sites allow you to run video ads.

Using YouTube Ads is as basic as setting up a video ad campaign in Google Ads.

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

Video is an excellent ad creative in terms of conversion opportunities. Video ads are frequently used to showcase product launches, custom services, and personal introductions.

You should consider incorporating video ads into your paid ads campaigns in Redmond if you have the budget to do so.
