What is PPC or Performance Marketing?

Pay per click (PPC) advertising is a type of digital marketing activity. Advertisers pay a fee every time an ad is clicked. Unlike traditional offline advertising (TV, print, radio etc) you can see the direct result and performance of your advertising campaigns (eg. impressions, clicks, conversions, revenue). The benefits of PPC advertising is guaranteed visibility and only paying when a user clicks to view your content. Though whilst this brings certainty that your ad has been seen, it does not guarantee your target audience or even a quality audience has been brought to your site. Kindred’s experienced campaign managers will help you to define a high performing campaign strategy and optimize continually.
