Our Role as a PPC Agency

At Big Human, we specialize in creating and executing data-driven paid search and PPC campaigns that deliver real, measurable results. Our hands-on approach blends strategic targeting, creative ad copy, and continuous optimization to make sure your ads reach the right audience at the right time. We focus on nurturing quality traffic, increasing conversions, and fostering sustainable growth to help you build brand awareness, drive ROI, and reach your business goals.

What are SEM, Paid Search, and Pay-Per-Click?

Though they’re used interchangeably, paid search, pay-per-click, and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) aren’t exactly the same.

SEM is the broadest term; it includes all digital marketing strategies used to increase visibility on search engines, both paid and organic. Paid search falls under the SEM umbrella and typically focuses on targeting specific keywords through paid ads that appear on search engine results pages (SERPs). Pay-per-click advertising is a pricing model within paid search, where advertisers only pay when someone clicks their search ad. While PPC is most common in search ads, it also applies to social media and other platforms. 

All three work together to maximize reach and increase conversions, giving you instant visibility and connecting you with high-intent customers at the right moment.

What Does Paid Search Look Like?

A fully developed PPC strategy involves several moving parts, but they all come together to optimize performance and achieve your business goals.

Strategy: Paid search is only as strong as the marketing strategy behind it. We work with you to figure out where and how to focus your efforts for the biggest impact, from audience targeting and relationship-building to brand messaging, creative testing, and everything in between.

Keywords: At the core of every PPC campaign are keywords. They determine when and where your ad appears based on what users are searching for. Our extensive keyword research helps you reach your audience more effectively, ensuring you show up in relevant searches and attract high-intent customers who are ready to convert.

Copy & Creatives: In paid social and search ads, great copy and creatives are what really stand out. From the headline and description to even the display URL, our copywriters know how to craft persuasive ad copy that grabs attention and encourages users to click — while our design team creates eye-catching visuals that reinforce your message.

Display Ads: Banner and video ads spotlight your offers, latest promotions, or newest products. They help keep you top-of-mind, increasing your visibility across different websites and channels. We design your PPC ads to be dynamic and compelling to ensure they capture — and hold — your audience’s attention.

Landing Pages: Once users click on your ad, the landing page is the first thing they’ll see. We make sure your landing page reflects the promise you’ve made in your ad — with a clear Call-to-Action (CTA) and engaging user experience that keeps visitors moving through the funnel.

Retargeting Ads: Retargeting means reconnecting with users who are still in the awareness or consideration stage of the marketing funnel. As part of our PPC strategy, we use retargeting to reach those who have already interacted with your brand, offering additional incentives that motivate them to take action.

Data & Analysis: Paid search is a constant feedback loop — test, learn, optimize, repeat. The Big Human team regularly tracks and analyzes your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to see how well your ads generate traffic and drive conversions, then use those insights to make your PPC campaigns even stronger. 

SEO Content Strategy

As a top SEO content strategy agency, we’re aware SEO isn’t one-size-fits-all. Taking the same care with your content as we do ours, we dive deep into who you are to create a personalized strategy that maximizes output and impact.

Research & Strategy

Here, we dive into your business, goals, competitors, and target audience to uncover new opportunities — and analyze competitor strategies and your audience’s search behaviors. Our keyword research helps us develop high-quality PPC marketing campaigns and craft a bidding strategy that allows you to reach the right people at the right time.

Ad Creation & Landing Page Optimization

This is where your search ads and display ads come to life. Our team turns your PPC strategy into high-impact creative — conversion-focused ad copy, scroll-stopping visuals, and landing pages built to perform and convert. And if you need help beyond search campaigns, our full-service creative agency is here to support everything from digital product design to development.

Launch & Management

Before launching your Google ads and paid search ads, we fine-tune your PPC strategy to make the most out of your ad spend. Once live, we track performance in real time, making smart adjustments to bids, budgets, and audience targeting to power the best results.

A/B Testing & Optimization

We don’t stop when your PPC campaigns go live — that’s just another step in the full PPC strategy. Our team continuously A/B tests different ad copy, calls-to-action, and landing pages to boost performance and drive better results. We also expand and refine your keywords based on performance and audience behavior, modifying bids to find qualified leads and target the most cost-effective conversions.

Performance Analysis & Scaling

To further assess the effectiveness of your campaigns, we carefully monitor key metrics like conversion rates, click-through rate (CTR), cost-per-click (CPC), and return on ad spend (ROAS). By identifying what’s working, we make data-driven adjustments to improve performance. To refine the overall PPC strategy, we scale your top-performing search campaign, ensuring continuous growth while making the most of your ad spend.
