1) Collect Your Data
Social media provides valuable information that can be used to hyper-target your social PPC campaign. You should initially spend your time and energy analyzing one social media platform such as Facebook. Create a spreadsheet and track which headlines receive the most engagement and by who. Use this data to create similar content to encourage likes, comments, and shares.Â
Pro Tip: Do you post on social networks at optimized times? Start recording what days and times that your posts receive the most interaction.
2) Google Your Competition
It goes without saying that you should never steal what others are doing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be aware, especially when it comes to social media and paid advertising. Take note of the headlines and images shared across social media and PPC campaigns. What types of posts get the most clicks? More than likely, that is what your consumers are looking for.Â
3) Stay Consistent
Whether you’re writing Google ads, social media ads, landing pages, or social posts, the overall feeling of your brand should remain the same. This means keeping the same tone, style, and visuals across all social platforms and paid advertising. It can be easy to stray, but remember that inconsistencies stand out to your followers and Google. When your brand doesn’t feel genuine, it’s nearly impossible to build consumer trust.
Stand Out with Social Media and PPC
It’s not easy to stand out when so many companies offer the same or very similar products. That’s why it’s important to invest in paid advertising alongside organic social media and SEO tactics. Whether you own a large corporation or a small business, you can improve your brand awareness while generating leads with social media and paid search.
