Paid Search (Google Ads & Bing Ads)
There’s no better audience than the one that’s already actively seeking what you offer. Search engines are constantly changing. For now and into the foreseeable future, searchers will see and click paid search first.
Anyone can set up a paid search account that focuses on the obvious keywords and lets Google do the optimizations. But you have real goals and your audience is using millions of variations of search queries. Paid search is about performance and Parallel Path achieves marketing goals through our proven data-driven approach to paid search that has been refined and developed over 15 years.
-
More than 4.7 billion search queries happen every day
-
Of these, 15% haven’t been seen by search engines in the last six months (if ever)
-
70% of search queries have no keywords in a paid search account that exactly match to any paid search marketing campaigns
If your paid search strategy doesn't go deeper and over relies on broad match types, header terms, and Google automation then you are paying too much per click, too much per conversion, and spending your budget inefficiently. And we can prove it with our Paid Search Audit. We can show you how and where your paid search dollars are working today and more importantly what the real potential is for your return on investment.

Architecture
Keyword theme alignment, depth, match type usage, organization, and relevance is the foundation of our paid search architecture. Think hundreds of thousands, not hundreds or thousands of keywords. The value from paid search is tapping the market demand with precision.
Relevance
Relevance is direct and must be in 100% alignment between what a searcher is asking for and what you’re delivering. Our approach ensures alignment between keyword, ad copy, and landing page.
