Search engine optimisation (SEO) is an essential method of website optimisation that any company with an online presence should not be without. But there is another area you should pay attention to as part of a comprehensive search marketing strategy - pay-per-click (PPC) advertising.

Some people will argue about whether SEO is more effective than PPC advertising (and vice versa) until the cows come home. But the fact is that you should combine your efforts in both to achieve your goal, which is simply getting more people to visit your website.

While you might think that an SEO agency would only deal with the former, those who understand that truly successful SEO is a sum of many parts will also offer PPC management. They can help you to make sure that you're targeting the right people, and doing so in the most effective way.

There are many things to consider when crafting and managing your PPC advertising campaign. Here are five ways in which you can give it a boost.

• Start with your target customers in mind - The key to all good advertising is getting into the mindset of your target audience. By understanding your customers and having a clear idea of who they are, you can put yourself in a better position to offer them something they want.

• Set clear objectives for your PPC campaign - As with many things in business and life, you need to set your objectives in order to reach them. Are you aiming to get a certain number of conversions out of your campaign? A specific amount of click-throughs within a certain time period?

• Monitor closely - Wouldn't it be great if you could just set your campaign running, and then leave it to its own devices as the hits flood in? Sadly that isn't the case. PPC advertising is every bit as competitive as SEO and needs to be constantly watched over and tweaked to achieve the best results possible.

• Make sure your landing pages tie in to your ad - You could create the most catchy, clickable ad in the world, but if it takes web users to something they weren't expecting it could be close to useless. When someone clicks your ad they should be taken straight to a high quality page that is directly relevant to the reason they clicked through.

• Do your research - Knowing what people are searching for and the most cost-effective way to target it is half the battle, at least, and essential for PPC management.
