PPC or Pay Per Click is a term used to reference Google and other internet search engines paid advertising programs. To keep it simple you can “pay to play” as they say and pay for clicks and rankings for certain keywords. For instance if you wanted to be at the top of the search engine for “Arborist in {my city}” You can “bid” on that keyword. In certain locations you may have lower CPC or cost per click depending on popularity to the keyword and city size and competition. While you may have other company’s competing for the same keywords having a properly designed and branded landing page that is built specifically to that keyword will make the difference in answering the prospects questions and getting the sale.
