Pay-per-click (PPC) refers to the online advertising model where payment is made to a search engine when a searcher clicks on a displayed paid ad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PPC ads commonly appear on the top premium positions on a search engine results page (SERP), and is also often referred to as Search Engine Marketing (SEM).<\/p>\n

A keyword-targeted ad is ranked on a search engine result page (SERP) based on the matched keyword’s maximum cost-per-click (CPC) bid and Quality Score. The CPC is determined by the cost of individual keywords, which are part of a larger bidding system.<\/p>\n

Some keywords are more expensive than others, but the cost can be managed with the proper strategy and mechanisms in place, which is why PPC keyword research is essential for identifying certain target keywords.<\/p>\n
