How we picked the best PPC agencies

In the process of selecting the best B2B SaaS PPC agency, we conducted a comprehensive assessment. This involved rigorous testing, meticulous analysis, thorough evaluation, and detailed comparisons among the leading agencies in the industry today.

To identify the top B2B SaaS PPC agencies, our team delved into a rigorous examination, considering factors such as pricing, capabilities, features, functionalities, user interface, ease of engagement, and the quality of customer support.

This assessment was based on our firsthand experience and insights gathered from discussions with fellow professionals in the B2B SaaS PPC field. I diligently assessed and assigned weight to the key features and offerings that are instrumental in making a PPC agency an optimal choice for achieving successful campaigns within the specific context of B2B SaaS.

PPC vs Paid Social

Although agencies running PPC campaigns are often called 'PPC agencies' most of the time they run advertising campaigns on a variety of different mediums such as Social Media Platforms as well as Search Engines. Sometimes agencies will call themselves 'Performance Marketing' agencies or 'Paid Media Agencies' too. When running campaigns on social media platforms it is usually called Paid Social, where as just posting content on social media would be called 'organic social', because you aren't paying to do anything.

Do PPC agencies also do Paid Social?

Yes, most 'PPC' agencies will also provide Paid Social management as a service. The specific social media channels they will specialise in may differ though. For example a B2B specific agency probably won't specialise in lots of Tik Tok advertising and visa versa with B2C and LinkedIn advertising.

Is PPC just for Google Ads?

No PPC usually covers Google Ads, Bing Ads and sometimes other comparison and review sites such as Capterra (Gartner Digital Markets) - this is very common on B2B SaaS. You can also get industry websites that have product listing that will charge on a Pay per Click basis to maintain your position in the list.

Benefits of working with a PPC Agency

There are benefits to working with a PPC agency, that is why they exist as businesses but it can sometimes be difficult to fully understand all of the benefits. Here are the main ones:

What is the ultimate goal of working with a PPC agency?

The ultimate goal of working with a PPC agency is to drive profitable results from your digital advertising efforts. This includes achieving higher traffic, better conversions, efficient budget allocation, and ultimately a positive ROI. PPC agencies use their expertise to continually refine and optimise your campaigns to meet these objectives and grow your business.
