Decoding Pay Per Click for Local Businesses with Justin Rondeau

The DigitalMarketer Podcast

Who is Pay Per Click (PPC) good for? As a marketing agency, should you be offering PPC as a service?

Justin Rondeau is the Co-Owner and President of InvisiblePPC, offering done-for-you Google PPC ads for marketing agencies. He’s here today to help us evaluate who the best client candidate for local PPC is.

This starts with the customer journey and appreciating where they are at in their decision-making process when they’re searching for a link. If it’s a plumbing emergency, they’re probably going to click on the top link with the closest plumber, right?

But what about other industries? How easy is it to offer local PPC ads in different niches? What are the client expectations and is it worth creating PPC client offers to get a foot in the door?

When it comes to local businesses, there’s not much wiggle room budget-wise to learn on the job. Picking a lane and niching down so that you can speak to your client’s pain points is recommended.

So too is speaking in ranges, not specifics. If a client hears that a lead might cost $50 for a job that is easy for you to set up, they’ll likely hold you to that.

Today’s episode is a lesson in managing client expectations and learning which cards as a marketer to keep close to your chest. Twenty new clients that take you up on a $500 PPC campaign might sound like a good idea to get new business - but is it really?

There’s a way easier option. Learn how to get more leads and sales for your clients with white-label PPC services in over 60+ proven turnkey industries.
