PPC Advertising
My Project Goal
The goal of this project was to design and manage high-performing pay-per-click (PPC) ad campaigns that generated qualified leads, improved sales, and drove traffic to conversion-focused landing pages. By targeting high-intent, bottom-of-the-funnel (BOF) keywords and audiences, the objective was to deliver measurable ROI while optimizing ad spend across Google Search and LinkedIn campaigns.
Process
I developed and managed PPC campaigns using a strategic, data-driven approach
Keyword Research
Conducted in-depth research using SEMrush and Google Keyword Planner to identify high-intent keywords for both broad and niche search terms. Mapped keywords to specific stages of the buyer’s journey, ensuring campaigns targeted bottom-of-the-funnel users ready to convert while excluding irrelevant or low-quality search terms through negative keywords.
Campaign Creation
Structured campaigns into ad groups based on themes, services, and search intent to maintain tight targeting and improve Quality Scores. Set up location-based targeting to reach decision-makers in key service areas, and scheduled ads for peak performance times based on audience engagement data.
Ad Copy & Testing
Wrote multiple ad variations for each ad group, focusing on compelling headlines, clear value propositions, and strong CTAs to maximize click-through rates. Conducted A/B testing on headlines, descriptions, and display URLs to find the best-performing combinations while adhering to Google’s Responsive Search Ads format for optimal performance.
Landing Page Development
Designed over 20 dedicated landing pages tailored to each ad campaign using WordPress. Pages were built with mobile-first principles, fast loading times, and conversion-focused layouts featuring CTAs above the fold, minimal distractions, and concise lead forms.
Tracking & Management
Installed GA4 conversion tracking, set up event goals, and refined targeting based on real-time performance data to improve ROI. Monitored daily ad spend, cost-per-click (CPC), and conversion costs to allocate budget toward top-performing campaigns.
