PPC Advertising

Stop Wasting Ad Spend on the Wrong Audiences

We build PPC campaigns that consistently deliver qualified leads by targeting the right accounts with messages that resonate with cybersecurity decision-makers.

Generic PPC approaches fail in cybersecurity because the audience is sophisticated and skeptical. They can immediately identify irrelevant ads and generic messaging. Your campaigns compete not just for clicks, but for the trust of technical experts who research thoroughly before making decisions.

Effective PPC for cybersecurity requires precise targeting, expert messaging, and a deep understanding of the buyer's journey. It must complement your broader marketing strategy and consistently deliver high-quality prospects.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does PPC differ from SEO for cybersecurity companies?

While SEO focuses on organic rankings and is a long-term strategy, PPC delivers immediate visibility at the top of search results through paid ads. For cybersecurity companies, PPC is valuable for capturing high-intent searches, testing messaging, and targeting specific accounts. Most effective strategies use both channels together.

What platforms work best for B2B cybersecurity PPC?

Google Ads captures high-intent searches and is typically the foundation. LinkedIn Ads excels at targeting specific job titles and companies for account-based strategies. Microsoft Ads reaches enterprise users in the Microsoft ecosystem. The right mix depends on your target audience, budget, and goals.

How much should we budget for cybersecurity PPC campaigns?

Cybersecurity keywords are competitive, with CPCs often ranging from $15-50+ for high-intent terms. Most B2B cybersecurity companies need at least $5,000-10,000/month to generate meaningful results. We help you determine a cost-effective strategy based on your target market, competition, and revenue goals.

How do you ensure we're getting qualified leads, not just clicks?

We focus on targeting precision and lead quality from the start. This includes using negative keywords aggressively, targeting high-intent searches, implementing account-based targeting, and optimizing landing pages for qualified conversions. We track lead quality through the sales funnel and optimize campaigns based on pipeline metrics, not just click-through rates.

How quickly can we expect to see results from PPC?

PPC delivers faster results than SEO—you can start generating traffic immediately. However, optimization takes time. Expect 2-4 weeks to gather enough data for meaningful optimization, and 2-3 months to fully refine targeting, messaging, and landing pages for optimal performance.

Do you handle landing page creation as well?

Yes, we create dedicated landing pages optimized for PPC conversions. These pages are designed specifically for paid traffic, with messaging that matches ad copy, clear value propositions, and conversion-focused layouts. We continuously test and refine landing pages to improve conversion rates.
