Top 15 Google Adwords/PPC (Pay Per Click) Interview Questions and Answers in 2024

1. What is the actual cost per click?

The actual cost per click (CPC) for advertisers is determined at auction and is not visible, but maybe less than your maximum CPC bid. This is because you only pay what’s required to beat the ad rank of the nearest competitor below you. The equation for determining CPC looks something like this: CPC = (Ad rank to beat / Quality score) + $0.01. However, the average CPC can be seen.

2. Is PPC only appropriate for big brands?

No, businesses of any size can utilize the benefits of PPC. The most important aspect of a PPC campaign is to find the right keywords that are relevant and targeted.

3. What are Invalid Clicks, and how does Google determine them?

An invalid click is one determined to be fake, unintentional, or caused by some malware. Google uses some sophisticated mechanisms and algorithms to determine such invalid clicks from any user account.

4. What is a Converted Click?

Converted clicks have simply clicked that resulted in conversions. Google AdWords no longer track them.

In advertising terms, CTR is the percentage of people who click on your ad after seeing it. The number of impressions divided by the number of clicks is used to compute it.

Remarketing has its own set of KPIs to monitor, just like any other marketing campaign. eCPM, click-through rate (CTR), cost per click (CPC), and return on investment (ROI) are some examples (ROI). Get clear on your aim and the KPIs that best reflect it before you begin your project.
