E-Commerce PPC Management Services
In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, e-commerce has emerged as an indispensable facet of modern business. Brands, both big and small, have come to recognize the immense potential of online platforms to reach a global customer base, revolutionizing the way products and services are bought and sold.
According to economic forecasts, the growth of e-commerce shows no signs of slowing down. The number of digital users engaging in online purchases is projected to reach staggering heights in the coming year, having grown 15% in retail sales between 2019 and 2021 and projected to increase 27% by 2026. In this context, harnessing the power of e-commerce PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising has become a vital strategy for businesses seeking to thrive in the competitive online marketplace.

Do You Need to Upgrade from Traditional PPC?
PPC is a form of digital marketing in which a business advertises on search engines so that they appear at the top of the search results for target keywords. Considering the ad spend fee is directly tied to the amount of clicks you are getting from your ads, as long as you have effectively-constructed content that drives conversions properly, you are nearly guaranteed to get your money’s worth out of this tactic.
In terms of e-commerce, PPC has become more important than ever. New e-commerce listings have been steadily added to the search engine results page (SERP), including shopping results, reviews, and site links. Most product-oriented SERP features have options for paid advertising, enabling brands to appear first in a promoted section. This is all in addition to the paid promotional portions of the SERP at the top of the page, in which you can send users to a meticulously-designed landing page to drive as many conversions as possible.
Incorporating PPC into your e-commerce marketing strategy is incredibly beneficial, as it:
- Allows you to manipulate a flexible budget at any point
- Provides immediate analytics to inform your strategy
- Gives you the ability to target users with specific keywords and specific ads
- Generates brand awareness with every impression
- Allows you to create custom-tailored landing pages for each user type
What Is the Difference Between Traditional PPC and PPC for E-commerce?
PPC is a type of online advertising where advertisers pay a fee each time their ad is clicked. While the overall goal of PPC is to drive traffic to a website, specific objectives and strategies can vary depending on the type of business.
The differences between traditional PPC and e-commerce PPC mostly stem from these distinct objectives.
Traditional PPC often aims to boost brand visibility or drive specific actions like form submissions or downloads. E-commerce PPC primarily seeks to generate online sales.
Traditional PPC might utilize broader, more informational keywords to attract potential customers. E-commerce PPC tends to target transactional keywords indicating a strong purchase intent.
Both types can use a variety of platforms, but E-commerce PPC tends to rely more on shopping ads platforms such as Google Shopping or Amazon.
E-commerce PPC often uses product listing ads that display product images, prices, and more, while traditional PPC ads are typically text-based and appear on search results pages.
Traditional PPC ads often direct to an informational page or a sign-up form, while e-commerce PPC ads usually link directly to a product page for immediate purchase.
Success for traditional PPC might be measured by form completions or downloads, while e-commerce PPC straightforwardly tracks product sales.
E-commerce PPC campaigns require a different approach to budgeting and bidding since they’re directly tied to product sales.

Current PPC Campaign Assessment
Improving your PPC success begins with a thorough understanding of the current campaigns’ effectiveness and efficiency as well as your business goals. This discovery process enables our team to develop a clear vision and bridge any gaps between your current campaigns and your goals. During this process we identify and resolve problems such as poor keyword choices, confusing landing page experience, etc.
Keyword Research
A major road block to the success of your PPC campaigns is poor keywords. Without proper keywords, your campaigns success will be limited. At FourFront, we use our proprietary artificial intelligence-based keyword research tools to find keywords your target audience is using to search and align your campaigns to match those keywords. Identifying keywords using a data-driven approach leads to increased click-through-rates and conversions.
Ad Copy Creation
Having strong ad copy that connects with your audience is vital, because it is the deciding factor on whether your audience clicks on your ads. Our ad copy specialists use in-depth industry research to craft and continuously refine compelling headlines and descriptions that lead to increased click-through-rates and brand awareness.
Landing Page Optimization
Landing page experience is one of the key factors that impacts conversions. The primary reasons why visitors leave a landing page without converting is because it did not meet their expectation, the offer was not enticing, or the next steps were not clear. So, it is essential to write compelling copy that engages the audience, aligns with their expectations, and convinces them to go deeper down the buyer’s journey. FourFront leverages its extensive knowledge of content optimization and user experience (UX) to design and build landing pages that entice and keep customers moving through the sales process, ultimately leading to a conversion.
Mobile Ad Optimization
With the majority of consumers now purchasing goods and services online using mobile devices, it is extremely important to make sure your ads are optimized for mobile. You will miss out on a lot of sales if your mobile PPC strategy isn’t up to par. FourFront has a team of highly skilled PPC professionals who will not only optimize your PPC campaigns for mobile, but also the corresponding landing pages to meet the different needs of the mobile audience and search engines. This process includes providing top notch UX, CTA placement, page load speed, and other recommendations.
Bid Management
Since bid management is crucial to the success of PPC campaigns, we employ multiple strategies to ensure you get the most out of your ad dollars. We believe a single solution does not fit the needs of all clients; it really depends on the client objectives. More often than not, we employ a combination of manual bid management, machine learning, and SMART goals to increase the ROI of your campaigns.
Analytics + Reporting
Analytics and reporting are at the core of everything we do at FourFront. We use analytics to monitor how your PPC campaigns are performing and to ensure they are meeting your goals. We also analyze the analytics reports to find hidden opportunities to increase conversions and drive down costs.
