PPC

What is PPC?

PPC (Pay-per-Click) is a billing model used in online advertising: The advertiser doesn’t pay for impressions, but rather for each actual click on their ad. The leading platforms include Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and social media channels such as Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok. Good click prices depend on keyword selection, quality score, target audience, and landing page relevance. At Waterproof Web Wizard, we always consider PPC in conjunction with the landing page and conversion tracking, a cheap click without a conversion is just expensive traffic.
