PPC ads are paid results on the top or right of the search engine result page (SERP). They also have an “ad” icon next to them. Through search engine optimization (SEO), organic search results can appear high in the SERPs to make sure the right result appears in front of the target audience. 

After the onboarding process, the PPC specialist on the account has a series of recurring checks to ensure the account is optimizing towards the client’s goals.

“Bidding strategy is an option set at the campaign level. It essentially tells Google how to bid and what to prioritize.

There are two categories of bidding strategy: manual bidding and automated bidding. Manual bidding is setting CPC max bids at the campaign, ad group, or keyword level and focuses on click through. Automated bidding is allowing Google to control the bid based on a multitude of factors Smart bidding is the most commonly used which is a subset of automated bidding.
