Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising can effectively boost traffic and generate leads. However, without a solid strategy, it can rapidly drain budgets with minimal return on investment (ROI). Many businesses unknowingly exhaust their budgets by making avoidable mistakes in PPC campaigns. Here’s how they often go wrong—and, more importantly, how they can avoid costly errors.

1. Poor Keyword Targeting Many businesses select overly broad keywords that attract irrelevant traffic or miss targeting high-intent keywords essential for conversions, paying for clicks that yield no sales.

2. Lack of Ad Copy Optimisation Even with the right keywords, ineffective ad copy can squander your PPC budget. Generic or uninspiring ads fail to engage or attract the wrong audience, wasting spend on unqualified traffic.

3. Not Using Ad Extensions Ad extensions like call buttons, site links, and reviews enhance ad performance. Overlooking them results in underperforming ads that lack engagement and visibility.

4. Ignoring Mobile Optimisation In a mobile-centric world, neglecting mobile optimisation leads to wasted clicks as users bounce from non-mobile-friendly pages.

5. Failing to Track Conversions Running a PPC campaign without precise conversion tracking is like navigating blindfolded. Many businesses focus on clicks without knowing which convert to leads or sales, leading to ineffective spending and misguided decisions.

6. No Ongoing Campaign Management PPC requires continual adjustments to remain effective. Some businesses set up campaigns and leave them unmonitored, missing optimisation opportunities and allowing poor performance to drain budgets.
