Frequently Asked Questions

What is paid search?

Paid search is a digital advertising strategy where businesses bid on keywords so their ads appear at the top of search engine results pages (SERPs). Instead of waiting for organic rankings, paid search places brands immediately in front of people actively looking for specific products or services. Brands pay only when someone clicks, making it a measurable, intent-driven way to drive traffic, leads, and revenue.

What are PPC management services?

PPC (Pay-Per-Click) management services involve the strategy, setup, optimization, and ongoing monitoring of paid advertising campaigns across platforms like Google Ads, Bing Ads, Meta, Amazon, and more. A paid search agency ensures ads reach the right audience at the right time while maximizing conversions and minimizing wasted spend. Effective PPC management includes:

  • Keyword and audience research
  • Ad creation and testing
  • Bid and budget optimization
  • Landing page recommendations
  • Conversion tracking setup
  • A/B testing
  • Ongoing performance adjustments
  • Transparent reporting and insights

In short: PPC management services handle every aspect of paid search campaigns to make sure advertising dollars work harder and generate measurable ROI.

Why should my company invest in PPC management?

Effective PPC management ensures ad dollars are optimized instead of wasted. Arc Intermedia uses data-driven strategies, rigorous testing, and precise targeting to:

  • Reach motivated buyers
  • Reduce unnecessary spend
  • Increase conversions
  • Improve ROI
  • Continually refine performance through hands-on management

Our campaigns are built to maximize revenue, not just impressions.

How much do I need to spend on paid search, and what kind of ROI can I expect?

There’s no single “right” budget or guaranteed ROI for every business. The ideal investment depends on the industry, sales cycle, how competitive keywords are, specific goals, and how well the website or landing pages convert.

We work with businesses to define a starting budget that’s large enough to generate meaningful data and allow for smart optimization. From there, we scale up or down based on performance, not on gut feelings. Whether it’s an investment of $3,000 a month or $300,000 a month, the goal is the same: use budget efficiently, avoid wasted spend, and drive real business impact.

ROI from PPC will vary, but what we can control is how efficiently we turn ad spend into qualified leads, sales, or other key actions. We focus on metrics like cost per lead, cost per acquisition, revenue per click, and return on ad spend (ROAS). Then we continually optimize campaigns to:

  • Increase conversion rates
  • Improve lead or sale quality
  • Reduce wasted spend

We don’t promise a specific ROI number, but we do commit to a transparent, data-driven approach that’s built to improve profitability over time.

What platforms does Arc manage paid search campaigns on?

Arc Intermedia manages paid campaigns across all major platforms, including:

What’s the difference between Google Ads and Bing Ads?

Google Ads has a larger market share and typically reaches more users, while Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) often has lower competition and cost-per-click. Both platforms offer unique benefits, and we often recommend a mix of both depending on audience and budget.

How does Arc determine which keywords to target?

Our keyword research includes:

  • Industry research
  • Search query and trend data
  • Competitor analysis
  • User intent and behavior
  • Cost-per-click
  • Conversion potential
  • Machine learning enhanced forecasting

We only target the terms that are most likely to drive qualified leads or sales, not just clicks.

How does Arc determine the best campaign strategy for my business?

We start by learning about business goals, target audience, competitive landscape, and current performance. From there, we conduct in-depth keyword research, analyze market demand, review historical data (if available), and assess where customers are in the buying journey.

Using these insights, we identify the most effective platforms, ad formats, targeting options, and bidding strategies to reach ideal audiences. We then build custom campaign plans focused on maximizing ROI while balancing budget allocation, creative messaging, landing page experience, and ongoing optimizations.

The result is a tailored PPC strategy built around business objectives, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Does Arc create the ad copy and landing pages?

Yes. We write compelling ad copy designed to attract clicks and drive conversions. And because landing pages are critical to PPC success, we audit existing pages and recommend or design updates intended to:

  • Improve conversions
  • Strengthen user experience
  • Increase Quality Scores
  • Lower cost-per-click

Better pages = better results.

How does Arc track PPC performance, and will I have access to the data?

We implement robust conversion tracking through tools like Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and platform-specific tracking pixels. Whether it’s form submissions, phone calls, purchases, or other key actions, we define and track the conversions that matter most to business. Our clients get:

  • Custom KPI dashboards
  • Clear insights on spend and results
  • Regular reporting and strategy reviews

Clients always have full access to ad accounts and campaign data. Transparency is a core value at Arc Intermedia, so clients can see exactly how campaigns are performing and where opportunities for growth exist. No confusing obfuscation, just actionable data.

Can Arc take over an existing Google Ads account?

Yes. We regularly audit and take over existing accounts. Our team will review any current campaign structure, performance data, and opportunities for improvement. From there, we’ll develop a strategic plan to optimize the account and improve results.

How often are campaigns optimized?

Campaigns are monitored daily. We adjust bids, targeting, keywords, ads, and budgets continuously based on performance signals. Our approach is hands-on, not set-and-forget.

How long does it take to see results from a PPC campaign?

Most campaigns begin generating traffic and leads shortly after launch. However, true performance optimization typically occurs over the first 30–90 days, as we gather data, test ad variations, and fine-tune targeting. We provide ongoing analysis and recommendations to improve results over time.

Can PPC work alongside other marketing tactics?

Definitely. Paid search performs even better when combined with:

Arc Intermedia specializes in multi-tactic, integrated programs that increase results while lowering overall costs.

How much do PPC management services cost?

Fees vary by program size, platform mix, and objectives. PPC management services typically range from $500 to $10,000+ per month, depending on how complex campaigns are and how much is being invested in ad spend.

Common pricing models include a flat monthly fee, a percentage of ad spend, an hourly rate, or a hybrid of these (for example, a percentage of ad spend plus a fixed management fee). Many programs also include a one-time setup fee.
