Pay-Per-Click marketing is a popular form of search engine marketing. In this form of marketing, the business must pay a fee each time their ad is clicked.

This PPC Manager test assesses whether candidates can improve the position of ads for a company using PPC and keywords, and create engaging ads to attract customers. This can include PPC, Adwords, and keyword research.

Candidates who perform well on this PPC Manager skills assessment will have all the technical skills to utilize Google Ads and position company ads favorably. They will also have the soft skills to communicate objectives and targets to their team.

The skills required to excel in executing PPC campaigns will vary depending on your brand, but there are many common themes with what is required across the board. High-quality MS Excel skills are required as you really need to make sure you’re focusing on your knowledge about VLOOKUPs, advanced charting, and pivot tables. Along with this, content marketing and audience engagement metrics skills are very relevant. When engaging audiences and analyzing the data around ad performance, a PPC manager will need to understand which metrics need to be prioritized according to the audience.
There are some core skill sets in order to get the most out of AdWords campaigns. Firstly, an ability to manage ad campaigns for the best returns. This means a PPC manager has to track all the income and expenditure of each campaign, deciding which one is providing better value for money, meaning more returns than the other. Secondly, the skills to lead a team effectively. This will ensure that tasks are assigned to the right individuals and that none of them are unclear of what needs to be done to make the AdWords campaign a success. Finally, a sound understanding of what goals to focus on. The PPC manager needs to have the skills to reassess the importance of goals, allocate the right budget to each campaign, and meet the deadlines that are set.
Keyword research tells a PPC manager what topics people are interested in and how popular those topics actually are among the audience. By researching important keywords that are getting a high amount of searches, a PPM manager can identify and sort the content into various topics that they are looking to create content on. Then will then use these topics to dictate which keywords to look for and target.
