With this in mind, it’s vital that your ad copy makes the most of this space, being direct, providing the next step and being relevant to the audience you are targeting.
But it’s not only your ad copy that needs to be great; the corresponding landing page also needs to have fantastic copy.

From there, just like your ad copy, your landing page should have a direct and clear message and call-to-action which should aim to move your potential client to the next step of your conversion funnel.

Increase your ad space
Another ad extension which can be a powerful PPC strategy for your firm, giving you more real estate for your ad is the site link extension. This extension allows you to show four relevant page links in your ad, giving you great real estate within search results as well as being able to highlight your firm’s key services alongside your ads offer.
