When it comes to online advertising, obtaining and maintaining the consistency is rarely observed — if ever. The PPC Campaign managers and advertisers check the ad copy, do better research keywords, and may attempt to create new campaigns for A/B testing will possibly lead to consistent results after many weeks. Whatever optimization techniques we follow, the Cost we spend on Ad Clicks mostly depends on the external factors play an important role when it comes to Search Ads.
There are many factors that could bring up an unexpected or sometimes we can’t even explain the change in campaign performance. Specifically, a spike in the Cost Per Click (CPC) for Google AdWords Search campaigns, can be caused by a new competitor entrance into the ad space or exit to the bidding process. These can be the important factors that may cause the spike in CPC for your search campaigns.
Increased Competition / New Advertisers in the Industry
In Google AdWords, the total number of advertisers can be found in the Auctions Insights that can be checked for a particular month. This Auction Insights report allows advertisers to monitor the competition metrics in the same dashboard. Although every advertiser can control the cost of their own bids, the competitors determine how much you pay and where your ad will be positioned. As more competitors are advertising for the same keywords, the CPC will rise and get adjusted to the bidding setting that you’ve set. For Ad Impression share and Top Page bidding, your Ad position may come on Top but the CPC will be very high.
Decreased Competition in the Ad Space and Your Ads Quality Score
Google Ads bidding is determined by the Ad Rank which is calculated as Maximum Bid x Quality Score — the highest ranked ad gets the top position in Google Search Results. The CPC is often determined by the Ad Rank of the next highest ad divided by that ad’s Quality Score. For example, If there are 30 competitors bidding the exact same price on the exact same keyword, the ad position will be determined based on the Quality Score of the ad. But if 30 competitors are bidding on the same keywords at different prices, the position of the ad is determined by the Maximum Bid x Quality Score. Since every competitor likely has a different maximum bid, it is easier to determine the order. Increase in Ad position, the more visible location brings with it a more premium location, leading to a more costly CPC.
What can be done to protect your search campaigns from spikes in CPC’s?
Having knowledgeable PPC experts in house to manage your campaigns can prevent some of these changes in your campaigns. Or you can outsource to any PPC Management and Services Company like Immersive Radical Digimedia and get your FREE PPC Audit Report.

For any PPC Campaign, setting goals before the campaign starts is the most crucial activity. Goal setting helps in understanding, tracking and measuring the metrics 24/7 to know whether you reached your goals or not. Since most of the goals are specific and are all a number game, at the end of the day you should be able to figure out what metrics you have in hand in order to figure out how far you’ve achieved the objective of the PPC Campaign.
The goal of the PPC Campaign can be on Brand Reach/Impressions, Engagements, Clicks on the Ads, No of Conversions or Return on Investment etc., For example, if you’ve set your goal to spend $1000 and get 1000 Clicks and at least 100 conversions, you need to measure your total cost and total conversions and the goal and optimization can be on Reducing the Cost per Conversion.

Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs, play a fundamental role in tracking the PPC Ads performance and let you know how well something is or isn’t working. However, there is not a definitive list of PPC KPIs every business should track. Most of the PPC Metrics depend on your Business / Marketing goals.
So before you start tracking any specific metrics, first you need to set clear goals during your campaign planning phase. After that choose the right PPC metrics that match your business goals. Then only you’ll be able to get satisfactory campaign results and increase your ROI.
Here are the 10 most important PPC KPIs to track:
Some of the KPIs are inclusive. It’s likely that the performance on one indicator is the best, the same happens with other KPIs also and vice versa. For example, if the quality score is not good, you can’t expect greater impression share and clicks, that will definitely influence the Conversions also.
Improving the Ads CTR can positively impact Quality Score, and improving Quality Score for all the keywords may impact cost per click and cost per conversion. When setting your PPC campaigns, you need to set realistic goals for your business and choose the KPIs that will help you achieve these goals. You should not be tracking some metrics just because they have big numbers…
Just like a PPC search campaign, for Google Remarketing Ads also you are only paying when someone actually clicks on the ad. Even If they do not click on the ad, you still are able to give a visual reminder about your brand to that potential customer. The targeted visitors list automatically created by Google for easy remarketing.
Types of Remarketing Ads:
Remarketing lets you use Text ads, Display / Image Ads, and Video ads to remind the previous visitors of your website or landing pages about your brand, services and products. Let’s look at some examples.
Text Ads – These are nice simple ads and are very easy to create. The visibility is very high and the impression rate is also very good compared to normal Search Ads. But the clicks rate is very low compared to Search and Display campaigns especially for B2B Industry campaigns.
Image / Display Ads – The Display ads stand out more than text ads and have some visual appeal with your brand colors and making these imperative to your remarketing ads. These are offered in multiple sizes and available for multiple placements dynamically. The clicks rate is good compared to the Text Ads.
The price is always dependent on the type of ads you’re creating. For example, if your campaigns targeted multiple placements including Gmail, YouTube, Websites and Mobile apps, the cost per click is very low compared to standard display ads.
On average, if your Google PPC search ad could have an average cost per click of $2-$3, a remarketing ad has an average cost of $0.25 – $0.50. These numbers are averagely calculated for B2C & eCommerce sites. The actual CPC may vary because of placement and the type of Industry you’re targeting.
Though search Ads are targeted towards the most relevant customers and people who’re actually looking for your products or services, the reach is always limited and you have to spend hundreds of dollars in getting relevant clicks and traffic to your website. But when you speak about the display ads, the cost and how many people click on them, and the traffic quality you may get still delivers a positive ROI for most investors.
Let’s say you’re spending on average $0.5 for each click,
At just 1% click rate out of 1 Million Impressions, that’s still 10,000 people clicking on your ad — 10,000 new potential customers!
The same figures you may not get with search Ads. The minimum rates may range from at least $4 for each click especially for B2B industry products campaigns.
So, with Display Ads there’s a way that you can earn even more relevant and potential customers for your business.
If you do not have a new strategy, take out the old school strategy and get the most out of display advertising with Retargeting.
Yes, Retargeting examines what your visitors looked at on your website and serves them display ads based on their Interests, Actively Looking History and browser Cookies.
The Display Ads Advertising is the one of the most significant and most effective in terms of viewership, and on average, more than 55% of the Impressions you get are relevant compared to your regular display ads. The conversion rates are 60% more likely to happen with the retargeted audience.
