What is PPC and Why Should You Care?
If you’ve searched for something on Google and the first few recommendations have come up under “Sponsored” or “Ad”, then you’ve seen PPC in action.
PPC, or pay-per-click, is a form of digital marketing where you bid on keywords and your ad shows up when people search those keywords. However, you only pay when someone clicks on your ad.
Although it sounds simple enough and you can set up PPC campaigns by yourself, making it work for you in the long term takes a serious strategy. You need the right mix of keywords, great ad copy, landing pages that convert, and bidding strategies that actually make your budget work for you. That’s why working with a PPC agency matters.
Working with a good PPC or Google Ads agency in Brisbane won’t just help your traffic increase, but it’ll also help you get results that matter, such as actual leads and sales, not just vanity clicks. From A/B testing and keyword research to budget control and campaign optimisation, expert PPC management turns guesswork into growth, and your ad spend into serious ROI.
Benefits of PPC (Why It’s a No-Brainer)
You Only Pay for Results
No more throwing money into the digital marketing abyss. With PPC, you only pay when someone actually clicks, not when they scroll past or briefly look at your ad.
Instant Traffic
While SEO is a slow burn (which we love), PPC is like flipping the switch. If you want to be on the first page of Google tomorrow, PPC can get it done.
Laser-Focused Targeting
Reach the right people, in the right place, at the right time based on location, device, and interests.
Total Budget Control
With PPC, you set the budget and you control the bids. You can decide when to pause, tweak, or scale with zero surprises.
Supercharged ROI
When your campaigns are dialled in, PPC delivers some of the highest returns in digital marketing. It’s not just traffic, it’s revenue.
Supports Your Other Marketing Channels
PPC boosts brand visibility while your SEO gains traction, complements your social strategy and brings qualified traffic to your site while you’re building long-term funnels.

Each of these platforms offers unique strengths, but the trick is choosing the right mix to reach your ideal audience and stretch your budget further. Here’s a breakdown of each PPC platform.
Google Ads
As the most popular search engine in the world, Google Ads puts your brand in front of hundreds of millions of searches every day. Whether it’s Search, Display, Shopping, or YouTube ads, Google Ads is where serious ROI begins.

Hyper-targeted and visually driven, Meta Ads are perfect for reaching people where they scroll. This form of PPC is great for awareness, lead gen, and retargeting your audience with laser precision.

YouTube Ads
These ads appear before, during, or after YouTube content. Run through Google Ads, these are ideal for brand storytelling, product demos, or just getting seen.

Reach a Range of People with Google Ads
Google’s ad platform isn’t just a powerful machine, it’s also packed with plenty of options. From search results to shopping feeds, and video content to AI-powered placements, it’s about meeting your audience exactly where they are and making it easy for them to choose you. Here’s how we tap into Google Ads for serious PPC performance:
Google Search Ads
The OG of PPC. Search Ads appear at the top of Google when someone searches for keywords you’re targeting. These users are already in the market, and you’re showing up at the right moment.

Google Shopping Ads
Visual, direct, and made-for-product-based businesses. Shopping Ads put your product, image, price, and brand front and centre in the search results, giving shoppers what they need to buy then and there.
Google Display Network
Display Ads appear on millions of websites, YouTube channels, and apps. Whether you’re targeting past visitors or building brand awareness, Display keeps you in front of potential customers without needing them to actively search.

Performance Max
This campaign type uses Google’s machine learning to deliver ads across all channels: Search, Display, YouTube, Gmail, and Discover. You provide the creative assets and Google handles the rest. This type of ad network is smart, automated, and designed to drive results at scale.
Demand Gen
Think of Demand Gen as Performance Max’s cool cousin—purpose-built for social-style ads across YouTube, Discover, and Gmail. These ads are designed to spark interest, boost engagement, and drive action using your strongest creative assets.
YouTube Ads
YouTube Ads let you target audiences with skippable or non-skippable videos before, during, or after content. You can also remarket to site visitors or build awareness with compelling storytelling.
How to Get Started
Starting with a PPC agency shouldn’t feel like rocket science, and with the right team. It doesn’t. Here’s what it usually looks like when you get started with Maven Marketing.

Launch Your Campaigns
The fun begins! We’ll build your ads based on keyword targeting, bidding, ad copy, creative, landing pages, and extensions. Then we launch strategically, not all at once, to keep your performance on point.
