All-Inclusive Guide to PPC

Kacey Grant, 7 July 2025

At iSonic Digital, we don’t just run PPC campaigns — we build intelligent, high-performing strategies that drive real business results. Whether you’re looking to generate leads, increase online sales, or scale nationally, PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising is one of the fastest and most controllable ways to get there. 

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the PPC essentials — what it is, how it works, and most importantly, how our team helps you make every click count. 

What Is PPC? 

PPC, or pay-per-click advertising, is a digital marketing model where you pay only when someone clicks your ad. It’s a powerful way to buy visits to your website, especially when you want immediate visibility or results. 

The most well-known form of PPC is Google Ads, where your ads appear at the top of search engine results pages (SERPs) for relevant keywords. But it’s also widely used across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn — and iSonic Digital has experience across them all. 

 How PPC Works (and How We Make It Work Better) 

A typical PPC campaign involves: 

  1. Keyword research – identifying the right search terms your customers are using. 
  2. Ad creation – writing engaging copy and designing compelling ads. 
  3. Bidding – setting a maximum cost-per-click (CPC) for each keyword. 
  4. Ad placement – your ad enters an auction each time someone searches your target keyword. 
  5. Click = cost – you only pay when someone clicks through to your website. 

At iSonic Digital, we go beyond the basics — analysing your audience, refining your targeting, building custom landing pages, and optimising ad performance continuously. Our goal? More conversions. Lower costs.

The iSonic Approach to Campaign Setup 

Setting up a PPC campaign involves more than ticking boxes. Here’s how we do it: 

  1. Account Setup & Audit: New or existing, we build or clean up your PPC account structure. 
  2. Keyword Strategy: We find high-intent, high-value keywords specific to your market. 
  3. Campaign Architecture: Organised campaigns and ad groups that improve quality scores. 
  4. Creative Development: Compelling ad copy and visual assets that drive clicks. 
  5. Landing Page Design: Optimised pages are designed to convert traffic into leads or sales. 
  6. Conversion Tracking: Full setup of goals and analytics to track real business impact. 

Every campaign is custom-built, and our team works closely with you to align everything to your sales funnel. 

Quality Score: The Key to Smarter Spending 

One of the most important factors in Google Ads is Quality Score — a rating that affects where your ad appears and how much you pay per click. 

It’s based on: 

  • Expected Click-Through Rate (CTR) 
  • Ad Relevance 
  • Landing Page Experience 

We optimise all three to help your ads perform better, and for less. This is a major area where iSonic Digital consistently outperforms DIY and templated setups. 

Keyword Research & Negative Keywords 

We don’t just pick obvious keywords — we dig deep. Our research covers: 

🔍 High-intent phrases with strong commercial value. 

🔁 Long-tail keywords that are cheaper and often more targeted. 

⛔ Negative keywords to block irrelevant traffic and reduce wasted spend. 

This level of research and filtering is critical to reducing cost-per-acquisition and improving ROI, and we handle it all. 

Ongoing Management & Optimisation 

Unlike set-and-forget agencies, we stay hands-on. Once your campaign is live, we: 

  • Add new keywords and refine bids 
  • A/B test ad variations 
  • Review performance metrics weekly 
  • Optimise landing pages 
  • Adjust budgets and targeting to maximise return 

We provide monthly reports and clear recommendations so you’re always in the loop — and always improving.
