It has become important for companies to <strong>appear on top<\/strong> of the research pages of these types of websites, especially because more <strong>consumers and candidates<\/strong> spend time looking for results on their reknowned pages. And the good thing is that all these sponsored ads are <strong>accessible for all<\/strong> types of companies. The only thing to do is to learn how to manage these campaigns to know if they are <strong>effective<\/strong> or not. A very interesting article found on<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themaineedge.com\/biz\/the-marketing-edge\/the-marketing-edge-%E2%80%93-how-to-manage-your-pay-per-click-campaign\">The Main Edge<\/a><\/strong>, a blog on marketing, gives us 5 tips to properly <strong>manage<\/strong> pay-per-click campaigns.\u00a0Note that this article explains a lot about <strong>PPC<\/strong> on Google, but these tips can apply to\u00a0job boards like <strong>Indeed<\/strong>. You can find more information about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/how-to-post-a-job-on-indeed\/\">PPC on Indeed<\/a><\/strong> in an article that we published a few months ago.<\/p>\n<h3>Focus on Keywords<\/h3>\n<p>These are the <strong>first words<\/strong> that your customers or candidates will see. They have to be <strong>attractive<\/strong>, you should not lie, but you also have to add some <strong>\u201cnegative\u201d keywords<\/strong>, which means you have to choose the words that will <strong>attract the candidates<\/strong> you want to recruit, and that will push back the <strong>wrong applicants<\/strong>. This technique will prevent you <strong>losing money<\/strong> with <strong>unnecessary clicks<\/strong>. Make sure that the words you use are related to what you offer and your campaign will be <strong>effective<\/strong> and of <strong>quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/27-min.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/27-min.png 326w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/27-min-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/27-min-30x15.png 30w\" alt=\"sponsored ad on Indeed\" width=\"326\" height=\"164\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also, you have to remember to keep an eye on the <strong>competition<\/strong>, because on the Internet, everything goes faster than anywhere else. And the way users search for things also <strong>evolves very quickly<\/strong>. Always stay informed about the <strong>trends<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, make sure that you don\u2019t <strong>duplicate keywords<\/strong> (especially with Google and AdWords which detect these duplications). This will also help your ad to <strong>stand out<\/strong> of the competition and it will make your advert <strong>effective<\/strong>.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ppc-diagram-min.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ppc-diagram-min.png 400w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ppc-diagram-min-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ppc-diagram-min-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ppc-diagram-min-30x30.png 30w\" alt=\"pay-per-click\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Look at the statistics<\/h3>\n<p>Of course you&#8217;ll know whether your campaign is <strong>successful<\/strong> or not, and when I say you, I also mean your <strong>wallet<\/strong>. Since you pay every time someone <strong>clicks<\/strong>, you should know when you&#8217;ve spent the <strong>deposit<\/strong> you put down on the website. But it is important to get more <strong>figures<\/strong>, to see how many people were really <strong>interested<\/strong> in your advert, how long they <strong>spent<\/strong>\u00a0on it, etc. Check your <strong>quality scores<\/strong> to see if there is an issue with your campaign. And the thing to monitor is <strong>CTR, the Click-Through Rate<\/strong>. It determines the interest of people in your campaign, and it impacts<strong> rank and cost<\/strong>. These statistics can be obtained very <strong>easily<\/strong> and you must take them into account when you deal with <strong>pay-per-click adverts<\/strong>.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/index-products-sponsoredjobs-min.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/index-products-sponsoredjobs-min.png 400w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/index-products-sponsoredjobs-min-300x233.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/index-products-sponsoredjobs-min-30x23.png 30w\" alt=\"indeed sponsoring\" width=\"400\" height=\"311\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All these free websites are very attractive at first sight, but they can quickly become real <strong>financial holes<\/strong>. Before beginning your publication on job boards like Indeed, make sure that the<strong> title<\/strong> of your advert and its <strong>keywords<\/strong> are <strong>\u201cpositive\u201d<\/strong> and <strong>\u201cnegative\u201d<\/strong> enough. Establish a <strong>budget<\/strong> and <strong>compare<\/strong> with other specialist job boards to see if they can allow you more <strong>visibility<\/strong> for <strong>less money<\/strong> and <strong>better candidates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For both employers and job seekers,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/en\/best-job-sites\/worldwide-job-portal\">Jobboard Finder<\/a>\u00a0is the\u00a0<strong>first decision-making tool<\/strong>\u00a0for recruitment campaigns and job searches.
