PPC marketing can be confusing at first because of all the acronyms and technical jargon, but we’ll simplify it to make it easy to understand. In this article, we will explain what PPC marketing is, how it works, and why businesses should consider it as part of their [digital marketing strategies](https://blog.fuze32.com/blog/digital-demystified-7-misconceptions-about-digital-marketing). [![CTA - How to Generate More Leads Through Your Website](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/9486216/fe5969e8-6ffe-4177-b272-20e84a3b3103.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/9486216/fe5969e8-6ffe-4177-b272-20e84a3b3103) ## What Is PPC Marketing? PPC marketing means pay-per-click marketing. It is a digital advertising model that shows ads to online users, but advertisers only pay when a user clicks on one of the ads. This type of marketing is typically used in search engine advertising, such as [Google Ads](https://fuze32.com/services/digital-advertising/google-ads/) or Bing Ads, as well as on [social media platforms](https://blog.fuze32.com/blog/explore-the-possibilities-of-social-media-advertising) like [Facebook](https://blog.fuze32.com/blog/fuze32/blog/how-businesses-are-successfully-using-facebook), Instagram, [Twitter](https://blog.fuze32.com/blog/fuze32/blog/twitter-and-tweets-a-guide-to-everything-twitter), and [LinkedIn](https://blog.fuze32.com/blog/fuze32/blog/how-to-reap-the-benefits-of-linkedin). Pay-per-click marketing can take several different forms, including text, images, video, or a combination. These ads also come in different display sizes. ## How Does PPC Marketing Work? In a PPC campaign, advertisers bid on [specific keywords or phrases](https://blog.fuze32.com/blog/fuze32/blog/why-are-keywords-important-for-seo) that they want their ads to appear for when someone searches for those terms. The cost per click (CPC) can vary depending on the competition for those keywords, the relevance of the ad to the search query, and the quality score of the ad. The more popular keywords will [cost more](https://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2022/05/18/search-advertising-benchmarks). For example, keywords for attorneys advertising legal services can cost $8.67 per click on average. Other high-cost keywords in pay-per-click marketing include dentists, home and home improvement, finance and insurance, and B2B products. Real estate, arts and education, and travel have PPC costs averaging $1.36 to $1.63. Keep in mind, however, that these costs will vary depending on competition and, in some cases, seasonality. At the other end of the scale are long-tail keywords. Long-tail keywords are words and phrases that are longer and more specific than more commonly used keywords. They tend to also have conversion values because they are less common and more precise. They drive less traffic but are highly targeted. They are less expensive and often attract consumers that are closer to the point of purchase. For example, "*pancakes"* is a keyword that gets a lot of search traffic. "*Light and fluffy pancakes without gluten"* is an example of a long-tail keyword.
