WHAT WE DO AS A SPECIALIST AWARD-WINNING
PPC MANAGEMENT AGENCY
Strategic Paid Search (PPC) starts with understanding commercials, budgets, data sources, and reporting. Microelements such as targeting and bidding play a key role in paid search, however, these are just components of the bigger picture.
What moves the needle is watertight best practice combined with a holistic understanding of how your business works. Your data is the heart of everything in paid search, and we cut through the smoke and mirrors to provide clarity on exactly where and how you should be investing your budget.
We’ve scaled the biggest (and smallest) paid search accounts, from multinational brands to localised e-commerce retailers. We’re an end-to-end consultative partner, not an agency that just manages your PPC.
THE OUTBLOOM WAY
HOW WE WORK
Data analysis and systems integration hold the key to unlocking your paid search potential. Without this, you’re spending blind.
ANALYSIS & REPORTING
Reviewing all data sources, ensuring tagging meets expectations. Whilst managing data integrations, tagging implementation, and more. We offer complete reporting (internal and external) and bespoke account audits to highlight areas of opportunity, never dwelling on the previous set-up. This is where growth opportunities are identified and the point where we can start to spot efficiencies that can be made.
CONNECTIONS & BUILD
Whatever the data source, we want to ensure we ingest data down to the most granular detail, even if this involves a bespoke CRM. At this point, there may be restructuring required (feeds/campaigns/assets etc.). Once complete, and we are confident that the account is optimising towards your primary and secondary KPIs, this is the point where campaigns should be activated.
ACTIVATE, TEST & REFINE
Activating ahead of thorough planning can be detrimental, hoping for the best and seeing what sticks. Before anything goes live, we look as far ahead as possible to provide complete forecasting, down to market/campaign type/keyword (if necessary), allowing you to align your budgets and plan for the next week/month/quarter/half or year using specific data points to visualise expected returns on your paid search spend.
FIRST PARTY DATA
Customer data has always been key in paid search, more so in recent years with the depreciation of third-party cookies. There are many ways to ingest your CRM data and set out a path for the integration if you are just beginning. This audience type is critical in providing the most accurate consumer data to assist in machine learning. We manage the entire process, end-to-end, guiding you through segmentation, integration, and more.
