Yes, PPC budget is depleted before day is over (or earlier in the day vs. before)

Learned so far:

  • Site conversions are down
  • Your traffic is down but your competitors' traffic is stable or even up
  • PPC traffic and impressions are down most likely because your PPC budget is getting depleted earlier in the day

Next steps:


This wizard ends here. But you should check the following
  • Check in Unica NetInsight (with PPC integration option) or your PPC tool for which keywords your daily costs have gone up impacting your budget shortages
  • On Google, check whether your quality score has gone down for these keywords causing you to pay a higher CPC now. If so, work with marketing to counter act, e.g. by improving landing pages.
  • Otherwise, work with marketing to consider the following
  • A.) Lowering your bids to drop ad rank slightly (but not too much)
  • B.) Increasing daily (and total) budget
  • C.) Shifting to different keywords (e.g. more narrow terms)
  • D.) Site optimization to increase conversion rates for remaining traffic
  • E.) SEO to gain more traffic without paying per click
  • F.) Interactive marketing to increase lifetime value of remaining customers
