AI technology is revolutionizing the role of PPC managers allowing them to prioritize initiatives, like campaign inputs and back-end management of manual tasks.

The increased efficiency and effectiveness brought about by this evolution is truly exciting!

As PPC continues to evolve AI will play a role in day-to-day operations.

Let’s take a look at how AI will impact the activities of PPC account managers.

Less Manual Algorithm Management

Automation has already made transformations in the world of PPC. This trend is expected to continue. Over the years we anticipate substantial changes in how PPC managers carry out their work.

As automation and AI become more prevalent PPC managers will have time-consuming tasks such as monitoring search queries and implementing keywords. There’s no need to worry! This positive development will free up their time for responsibilities.

Contrary to some concerns automation won’t eliminate jobs in PPC. Instead, it will lead to a shift in roles and responsibilities for managers. They’ll be focused on managing algorithms rather than individual keywords.. Trust me when I say there will still be plenty for them to do!

In fact, with tasks on their plate PPC managers may find themselves busier than ever before – ultimately becoming even more valuable assets, to their companies.

Collaboration, between PPC managers and data Teams

This partnership involves working on tasks, such as implementing tagging infrastructure analyzing website data accessing CRM systems, and utilizing automation and data reporting.

In the past, the collaboration between the data/analytics and PPC teams may have been limited. This was especially true when PPC heavily relied on a few tracking pixels. Once those were in place there may not have been a need for collaboration.

However, it is now essential to establish an ongoing relationship with your data/analytics team to ensure success in your PPC campaigns. Even if you haven’t had this kind of partnership before it is crucial to strive towards building one for results.

This means getting to know the people in your company who are in charge of these data projects and making strong connections with them. This makes sure you have the tools and help you need to stay competitive and get things done.

Checking for Attribution and Incrementality

Paid search managers know how to show that paid search is valuable to a marketing plan as a whole. A lot of PPC programs use sales, income, return on ad spend (ROAS), lifetime value (LTV), and other value-based metrics to measure their success.

Maybe you already use incremental analysis as part of your PPC plan. Good job! But I know that PPC schools are building these skills, and now is the time!

Media Mix Modeling (MMM) and incrementality testing are necessary to learn important things about how well and efficiently marketing strategies work:

MMM gives managers a full picture of how different channels work together and affect customer behavior, which helps them make the best use of their funds. PPC managers need to be a part of this!

Because of the rise of data-driven decision-making, incremental testing is becoming more important. It helps pay-per-click (PPC) managers figure out what the real effect of a certain marketing strategy or medium is and how much extra value your PPC campaigns create. Also, it helps you figure out the best bidding strategies, confirms the outcomes of A/B tests, and raises responsibility by giving you an easy way to track and share the results of your marketing efforts with those who matter.

In today’s marketing landscape, with data, it is imperative for PPC managers to make informed decisions while considering the broader impact of their campaigns.

I hope you’re already involved in these projects at your company. If not it’s time to get started!

Building and managing an audience

Targeting the audience has been a proven strategy, for PPC managers for a while. While AI and automation won’t completely change this approach the emergence of privacy regulations means we need to adapt our tactics and strategies for creating, developing, sculpting and managing audiences.

To effectively handle your PPC campaigns it’s crucial to make the most of your CRM data. If your PPC program has already incorporated this you’re ahead of the game! However many PPC programs still need to establish their first-party audience processes.

Audience lists may not be as precise when it comes to automated campaigns like Performance Max and Demand Gen. Nevertheless they still help shape impression delivery through look-a audiences and algorithmic signals.

PPC managers will have a role in crafting audiences that generate results in their paid media campaigns. While some PPC managers might not be significantly affected by this shift due to their audience strategies many others will need to consider new directions and factors.

Developing and testing ad creatives

Over time creative assets, in PPC advertising have made progress. The advertisement has always been the method, for PPC (Pay Per Click) campaigns. It’s easy to understand why. However, the landscape is. Will continue to do

PPC is no longer limited to search ads. Image ads have been in play for quite some time now through platforms like Google Display Ads and Microsoft Ad Network.. Let’s not forget about video ad delivery, which PPC managers have been utilizing on YouTube for years. With Performance Max these advertising formats will only become more diverse.

While PPC managers used to rely on managing search queries and manual bid adjustments to save time they will now need to prioritize assets.

As automation takes over aspects of optimization, the importance of creative messaging becomes even more crucial. PPC managers must collaborate closely with their creative teams to develop variations of ads for images, videos, texts and more.

Speaking of creativity PPC managers should ideally have time for planning when it comes to their landing page or website experience. Conversion rate optimization (CRO) has been a cornerstone of marketing since its inception. However with increased automation and AI-driven tactics, at play, advertisers must find ways to differentiate their company and products from the competition. Ensuring ad creatives and a seamless website experience is absolutely vital.

It will be crucial for PPC managers to strengthen their relationships with teams, in the future.

Collaboration in SEO

As automation saves time PPC managers will delve deeper into collaborating with their SEO team.

Teams should avoid working in isolation. It is important to have a shared vision for a SERP optimization strategy.

Given the changing SERPs and the rise of SGE and AI-driven content, paid and organic teams must collaborate to optimize the SERP.

Furthermore understanding the roles and responsibilities of PPC and SEO teams is essential. PPC managers should stay informed about the trends and techniques in paid advertising while SEO experts should focus on optimization and content creation.

By working these teams can complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses resulting in a comprehensive and effective optimization strategy. Regular communication and collaboration are vital to ensure alignment toward goals.
