Make an Instant Impact in Search Results
To start, PPC is an amazing tool to use when you want to make an immediate impact on your website’s visibility. With PPC you can instantly launch your dealership to the top of search results by bidding on high volume keywords that will drive new business straight to your site. Not only can you spend as much or little as you want, but you can even strategically stretch your budget to place your ads at high volume search times so that you’re making the most out of your marketing dollar. There’s no need to waste your PPC budget during times that no one is searching for a particular keyword combination you’re bidding on.

Search Engine Optimization
Outrank the Competition and Always Appear First on Google
While SEO, or search engine optimization, is still important for your dealership’s website, pay per click is truly the only way to get your site to the top of Google. Even if your website ranks in first for organic search results on Google or Bing, if your competition is bidding on those same keywords and taking up the first three ad spots, in the eyes of the customer you’re really ranking in fourth.
Depending on the ad type you can even get free leads out of this superior position as well. With deep links, you can feature your dealership address, hours, a link to the contact page, and your phone number. Having this type of information right at the top of search results can lead to people immediately finding the info they want and directly giving you a call or hopping into their car to come directly to the address on the ad without even clicking on it. When that happens it means you got free traffic from the ad and you didn’t have to pay for the click, how cool is that?
See Which Campaigns Are Working, Find Out Which Ones Aren’t
Because Google crawls for PPC daily you don’t have to worry about whether customers are seeing these ads. PPC ads update in real time and offer tangible results where you can see which keywords are working and what times work best for your ads. It also shows you what’s _not_ working, which is just as important. It’s simple to manage and manipulate your campaigns so when you do detect that an ad isn’t performing as well, you can easily move your budget to campaigns that are working or switch up the keywords you are bidding on to try out something new.
You never have to waste your budget on something that doesn’t work with PPC and you can quickly turn a campaign on or off without a waiting period -so long as you have the right partner working on your PPC.
