Everything you do in marketing should have clearly defined goals and measurable results. So set your goals first, and decide what you want to achieve by investing in PPC ads.
In general terms, you might want to:
 |
Acquire customers in a more cost-effective way |
|
Target prospects more effectively - and to sell more products profitably |
|
Raise your profile and to generate more leads for your business |
|
Increase qualified and targeted leads |
|
Customer acquisition |
|
Build an online brand |
Defining Specific Goals
If you take the first goal listed above, where you might want to acquire customers in a more cost-effective way, then you'll need to know what this is costing per customer, you before you start a PPC campaign, so that you can compare results. Be specific about the customer numbers, current cost of acquiring a customer, and what you spend on marketing.
If your overall goal is to raise your profile and generate more leads for your business, then you may be in a service industry that does not have direct sales from your website. The specifics you may need here, would be to achieve an increase in unique visitors who then go ahead and contact you, or take the action you want.
When you start a PPC campaign, you soon have all the metrics you need to see if your goals are being achieved.
