PART III: DIGITAL AD TYPES AND AD DESIGN<br />

PAY-PER-CLICK (PPC) SEARCH ADS<br />

Call-to-Action Strategy<br />

PPC ads are a great place to<br />

showcase your content and<br />

products, but keep in mind that<br />

people who search for your<br />

keywords may be unfamiliar with<br />

your company. This means that it<br />

often doesn’t make sense for your<br />

CTA to always be a sales pitch.<br />

Instead, offer them a piece of<br />

content that is applicable to their<br />

search query.<br />

As an example, take a look at this<br />

LinkedIn ad that appears for the<br />

keyword “social selling”. LinkedIn<br />

offers their audience a how-to<br />

guide on social selling. LinkedIn<br />

also offers up some stats in the ad<br />

itself that helps prove the value of<br />

social selling for your business.<br />

Although most people are familiar<br />

with LinkedIn, the brand wants to<br />

offer a valuable piece of content<br />

to help educate its audience<br />

instead of merely talking about its<br />

own product.<br />

Ad Extensions<br />

You can ad additional<br />

information to your PPC ads with<br />

ad extensions, including:<br />

• Sitelink extensions<br />

• Location extensions<br />

• Call extensions<br />

• App extensions<br />

• Review extensions<br />

• Callout extensions<br />

Here is an example of a PPC ad<br />

from ShoeDazzle that includes<br />

sitelink extensions for its<br />

website—the blue text at the<br />

bottom of the ad.<br />
