Pay-Per-Click or PPC, is a type of digital advertising where the advertiser pays each time a user clicks on their ads. The most popular channels for PPC advertising are search engines.

The advertisers usually bid (set up a maximum price per click) on a specific list of keywords and their ads appear on top of organic search results, labeled as “Sponsored” or “Ad”. Users search for these keywords, click on advertisers’ ads and land on their websites.

PPC is a fast way to generate traffic and eventually leads/sales to your business if done right. It implies advanced knowledge of PPC ad platforms like Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Amazon Ads, LinkedIn Ads and many more.

PPC (pay per click) advertising in the era of AI

In 2026, AI-powered search engines and chatbots, including conversational search and generative results, are reshaping how users interact with search engines making it even harder for businesses to generate free organic traffic and convert visitors into customers.

In addition to traditional search engines, users increasingly turn to AI assistants and conversational platforms to ask questions, compare services/products, and receive instant recommendations. Instead of clicking through multiple websites, users often receive summarized answers generated by AI systems.

This shift means brands must optimize not only for rankings, but for credibility, authority, and structured content that can be referenced by AI-driven systems. Building expertise, publishing trustworthy content, and strengthening brand presence across multiple platforms are now essential components of modern search visibility.

All this requires a significant amount of effort and knowledge in the area of SEO/AEO/GEO + it’s a long term investment. For faster result and return on investment (ROI) pay per click advertising is recommended.

Creating different types of content and making sure it’s indexed in search engines might not be enough. PPC advertising makes it easier to test and understand what works and what doesn’t, as you can measure the conversion rate and cost per conversion instantly.

Where to advertise your business?

Pay per click model works on different platforms. The biggest one is obviously Google search, but there are other platforms too, for example:

• Search engines - Google, Bing, Yahoo

• Social media - Facebook, Pinterest, Linkedin

• Native advertising platforms - Outbrain, Taboola, Paved

• AI chatbots - ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot

Bing and Yahoo for example support both display and search ads using the PPC model. While Google is the market leader and has the biggest market share, alternative search engines could be also productive if used right.

How to estimate the budget?

Many PPC platforms like Google ads have built in Keyword discovery tools and forecasts to estimate the approximate cost and number of conversions based on the list of keywords and cost per click/conversion. 

These tools don’t give you the actual numbers though, but can be used as a reference to get a general idea in terms of cost.
