The High Cost of PPC Mismanagement
Businesses often waste 25 – 40% of their PPC budget on irrelevant clicks. But the goal isn’t just lowering costs; it’s lowering costs while improving lead quality.
Strategy 1: Keyword Refinement
● Use negative keywords to filter irrelevant clicks.
● Focus on long-tail keywords with buyer intent.
Example: Instead of “dentist,” target “cosmetic dentist teeth whitening Boston.”
Strategy 2: Quality Score Optimization
Google rewards relevance. Improve Quality Score by:
● Aligning keywords → ads → landing pages.
● Boosting click-through rates with compelling copy.
● Reducing bounce rates via optimized landing pages.

Strategy 3: Smarter Bidding
● Test Manual CPC before moving to automated bidding.
● Use Enhanced CPC for balancing volume + conversion quality.
● Implement dayparting (ads show only when leads convert best).
Strategy 4: Geo & Device Optimization
● Exclude low-value regions.
● Prioritize mobile bidding for services with urgent intent (e.g., emergency plumbing).
