Different Types of PPC Visitors, Need Different Types of Offers

They don’t know you and they’re not looking for what you offer.

Cold Visitors

They’re interested in what you offer, but not sure if you’re their solution.

Warm Visitors

They’re searching for your brand name and want to do business with you.

Hot Visitors

When new PPC channels aren’t working, it’s because you’re not matching your call-to-action with their temperature.

Testing New Offers…

The fastest way to gain PPC traction, is by lowering “the ask” of what you want

the visitor to do.

By Lowering The “Threat”

“Does your car qualify for uber?”
