Choosing the correct tactic for what you need.
Speed. PPC is a great way to get your message in front of an audience quickly without waiting for organic tactics such as SEO or content marketing. Organic rankings can take months and Google Search ads can take hours.
Cost. Depending on the cost per click and competition levels, PPC can be cheaper than SEO. PPC can also be cheaper than traditional advertising methods by finding the specific audiences you're looking to reach.
Testing. PPC allows you to test different messages before committing to long term strategies.
Targeting. With PPC you can target by location, language, device, and time of day to ensure that your message reaches the right people at the right time.
Cost. The main disadvantage of PPC marketing is that it can be expensive. Accounts not managed correctly or forced to spend in competitive markets may result in a bad return on investment.
Scalability. The ceiling is only as high as your budget. More clicks mean more cost, which is not the case with organic SEO traffic. Organic allows for exponential traffic which is music to anyone's ears.

Measuring your post-click data is the key to a successful campaign. Unlike SEO, you’re paying for each click, so knowing the data of what you've paid for is crucial. Configuring conversion events in Google Analytics 4 is the first step to knowing your ROI.
