PPC (Pay-Per-Click) Advertising Done Right

At Guello Marketing, our PPC service is grounded in research, brought to life by creativity, and driven by accountability. We combine deep keyword and audience insight with imaginative ad copy and landing-page design to deliver real and measurable results.

Why PPC Matters

When a business leverages a well-targeted pay-per-click (PPC) campaign, it immediately secures one of the most valuable spots in the digital marketplace: the top of the search engine results page. Unlike organic results that must fight for visibility over time, PPC ads “buy” you visibility up front — appearing ahead of, or alongside, the natural listings regardless of where you rank organically. That means a business using PPC gets in front of customers while they’re actively searching for exactly what the company offers — a highly motivated, intent-driven audience. For example, studies show that while the #1 organic result may receive roughly 39.8% of clicks, the top paid ad position still gives instant placement and capture of high-intent traffic. Because PPC delivers near-instant visibility, companies using it often see faster returns than those relying solely on organic SEO — think days or weeks instead of months. Over time, that early advantage allows them to test keywords, refine messaging, convert prospects, and build momentum while their competitors wait for rankings to climb. In short: businesses without PPC are sitting back and waiting for customers to find them; businesses with PPC are already placing themselves in front of the right customer at the right moment.

  • A strong click-through-rate (CTR) dramatically increases ad exposure, lowers cost per click, and boosts return-on-investment. According to benchmarks, a “good” PPC search-network CTR sits at roughly 4-6% or higher. 
  • For non-profits using the Google Ad Grant ($10,000/month in free Google Ads budget), maintaining a 5% CTR minimum is typically required to remain in compliance. We manage every aspect of Ad Grant campaigns—keyword selection, ad copy, landing-page relevance, conversion tracking—to protect your budget and maximise impact.
  • PPC allows targeted outreach: we can craft campaigns based on search intent, geography (for Michigan or specific counties), device types, times of day, and more—we test, measure and refine so your ad spend is smart and effective.

FAQ’s

What is PPC and how does it differ from organic marketing?
PPC means you pay each time someone clicks an ad. Organic marketing (SEO) relies on unpaid search-traffic over time. PPC gives immediate visibility, while organic builds longer-term strength.
How quickly will we see results?
PPC can generate clicks and traffic almost immediately after launch. But real results—leads, enquiries, conversions—depend on landing-page relevance and tracking. We set realistic benchmarks, test, refine, and improve.
What is a “good” click-through-rate (CTR)?
While it varies by industry and campaign type, many search campaigns average 1.9% CTR overall. Top-performing campaigns often achieve 4-6% or more. For Google Ad Grant accounts you should aim for at least 5% to remain compliant and effective.
How much budget is required?
For non-profits with Google Ad Grant: budget is provided (up to $10,000/month). For other clients, budget depends on your goals, competitive keywords, and target markets. Guello Marketing will work with you to set a realistic budget aligned with the results you need.
Is the Google Ad Grant really $10,000 per month?
Yes — eligible non-profits can receive up to $10,000 per month of Google Search ad credits. But it comes with rules (for example, minimum CTR requirements, valid landing pages, no single-word keywords, etc.). Guello Marketing handles those technicalities so you stay compliant and get maximum benefit.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Done Right

SEO is where Guello Marketing’s deep research meets creative talent, giving your website not only visibility but lasting credibility and growth. We don’t just optimize — we craft a strategy that is authentic, unique, and accountable for results. In a digital landscape where organic search drives nearly 49% of marketers’ best ROI, being found online isn’t optional — it’s essential. The #1 result in Google captures around 39.8% of all clicks, while lower-ranking pages see only a fraction of that traffic. Yet, many websites fail to reach their potential — with 66.5% of all backlinks broken or non-functioning, and sites without blogs missing out on 97% more inbound links than their competitors. That’s why our SEO approach prioritizes what truly moves the needle: high-quality backlinks, great content, search intent alignment, and superior user experience. Even in local searches — like “best chiropractor in Tuscola County, MI” — backlinks and citations remain key to performance. At Guello Marketing, we turn these insights into action, ensuring your website earns attention, authority, and measurable results.

Why SEO Matters

SEO matters because it remains the single most powerful way to attract high-quality, long-term traffic to your website. In fact, organic search drives nearly 49% of marketers’ best ROI across all marketing channels, proving that consistent visibility pays off. The difference in ranking is dramatic—the #1 result in Google captures roughly 39.8% of all clicks, while lower positions see only a fraction of that traffic. To achieve and maintain top rankings, Google rewards websites that offer a complete package: high-quality backlinks, valuable content, and a seamless user experience. That’s why our SEO approach at Guello Marketing focuses on all of these elements together—building authority, optimizing performance, and helping your business earn trust (and clicks) naturally over time.

Local SEO & Google Business Profile management – especially valuable for Michigan-based businesses targeting local markets.
Social media & content amplification – while social signals may not directly influence ranking, they support brand awareness, link acquisition, and traffic diversification.
Reporting & accountability – we set KPIs (rankings, organic traffic, lead generation), track progress, refine strategy, and ensure you see measurable improvement.

FAQ’s

How long does SEO take to show results?
SEO is a long-term investment. You may start seeing traffic improvements within 3–6 months, but stronger gains in rankings and lead generation often take 6–12 months or more. Part of our account is providing realistic timelines, monthly progress reports, and continuous optimisation.
Do I need both SEO and PPC?
Yes—while PPC delivers immediate results, SEO builds sustained, long-term visibility and organic leads. At Guello Marketing we integrate both so you’re not “either/or” but “both/and”.
What is backlinking and why is it important?
Backlinking is when other reputable websites link to yours—it’s like a vote of confidence to search engines. Pages ranking #1 often have significantly more backlinks than those ranking lower. But not all links count—quality and relevance matter more than sheer quantity.
How do you measure SEO success?
We track multiple metrics: organic traffic growth, keyword rankings, improved position of specific pages, backlink profile growth, and ultimately conversion or lead generation from organic sources. Your dashboard will show progress and next-steps.
What if my website is currently slow, outdated or not mobile-friendly?
That’s precisely where we begin. Technical issues can block your SEO before you even begin content or link efforts. Our research-first approach puts site audit and remediation first, then creative content and backlink strategy follow—so you’re building on a solid foundation.
