When implemented correctly PPC campaigns can significantly improve your company's bottom line by placing your ads prominently on the first page on day one. You get noticed very quickly, not only by consumers but competitors as well.

There isn’t a single successful used car dealer that isn’t employing a Google AdWords (PPC) campaign. Any marketer worth his or her salt knows that PPC ads or companies with great SEO that rank organically in the top 3 positions get the majority of the clicks. Having PPC ads that stand out ensures that your dealership will not only be competitive but over time with a good balance between SEO and SEM expertise, become dominant in the search engines and in their DMA.
The effectiveness of PPC campaigns shouldn’t be measured simply in the leads generated, but in the intelligence gathered. Via Google Analytics, we can determine which ads and keywords perform the best, how long people stay on the site, demographic information, conversion data including CPAs, and much more. Adjustments can be made via the analytics to better streamline the campaign. Clearly, many used car dealerships simply don’t have the time or expertise to implement properly executed PPC campaigns.
