FAQs
-
Paid search is an advertising method where teams pay to bid on various keywords and search queries, allowing their advertisements to appear in relevant user search engine results. These paid search ads display above organic search results and are demarcated with "ad."
Advertisers commonly execute paid search campaigns using Google Ads. They set up the campaign in-platform, providing ad content, inputting objectives, and setting targeting parameters for audience, keywords, phrases, and bidding criteria.
Google's search engine technology places ads in relevant search results based on factors like the search terms used, ad content quality, and the advertiser's bidding price, among other considerations. Advertisers primarily use the pay-per-click model (PPC) in paid search, only paying when users click on their ad.

We provide them with people, workflows, and technology to help them execute paid search campaigns successfully. Additionally, we will do the execution for them, freeing up capacity for teams and agency leaders.

To effectively target audiences in paid search campaigns, teams must understand the capabilities of paid search platforms, like Google Ads, which allow targeting based on users’ physical location, language, demographics, interests, etc. Leveraging this granularity and aligning it with the target audience profile adds another layer of accuracy and precision to the campaign.
-
Most businesses can benefit from paid search ad campaigns, as search engines receive massive volumes of diverse traffic daily. Some portion of their target audience likely resides within this traffic, making paid search a great chance to reach them.
However, it always depends on the business objective and where it falls within the marketing funnel.
