Pay-Per-Click (PPC)

Pay-per-click is an advertising model where advertisers pay only when someone clicks their ad. Google Ads is the most common PPC platform, showing ads on search results and partner sites. PPC provides immediate visibility with granular control over targeting, budget, and messaging.

How This Applies to Home Care Marketing

PPC allows home care agencies to appear immediately for valuable searches while SEO efforts build. Target keywords like “home care services [city]” or “24-hour home care near me” to capture high-intent searches from families actively seeking care.

Success requires careful management: bid strategy optimization, negative keyword refinement, ad copy testing, and landing page optimization. Without proper management, PPC can waste budget quickly. Consider professional management or invest time learning platform optimization.

Key Takeaway

Use PPC to capture immediate high-intent traffic while developing organic visibility. Invest in proper campaign management—whether in-house expertise or professional help—to ensure positive return on ad spend.
