Maximize Your PPC ROI

Whether you are working with a smaller budget or simply looking to cut down costs, spending your PPC budget wisely is more important than ever. Instead of simply pausing your campaign or lowering your daily budget, try thinking smarter and following the tips included below to keep costs down and conversions up!

Improve Targeted PPC Campaigns

  1. Experiment with Day Parting: Day Parting allows users to pause their PPC campaigns during parts of the day where their budget may be going to waste, or to simply save their budget for hours where they have experienced high conversion rates in the past. This helps ensure your budget is being used during peak hours for each campaign.
  2. Run Campaigns Targeted at Different Geo-locations: Do not simply default to targeting your campaign to the entire United States – think strategically about your top feeder markets and try targeting them through a separate segmented campaign.
  3.  Experiment with Mobile PPC: A campaign targeted specifically to mobile users within your local market is a great low cost opportunity to capture some last minute conversion.
