So you may be wondering, what is a PPC specialist and what do they do? According to ClickCease, a PPC specialist helps in managing all things related to pay-per-click ads. PPC ads are where companies pay for each click on their advertisement in order to market their product(s) on one or multiple other websites. Given the amount of time it takes to manage these advertisements across the internet, business and website owners aim to hire a PPC specialist to take care of the pay-per-click ads for them. 

The role of a PPC specialist goes beyond managing the active PPC ads. As a matter of fact, PPC specialists are usually involved in the entire process of creating and launching PPC ads from start to finish. For example, PPC specialists are usually in charge of market research, building custom avatars, and coming up with the ad campaign strategy in the beginning stages. Following the planning stage, PPC specialists create or source the advertisement and launch the ads accordingly. Once the ads are running, PPC specialists are in charge of monitoring the performance analytics and feedback for the ads. In addition, is it important that PPC specialists are able to prevent click fraud bots or scammers from generating invalid traffic.
