PPC (Pay-Per-Click) can be super effective for financial services if you use it the right way.
Basically, with PPC, you’re paying to show your ads on search engines or websites, and you only get charged when someone actually clicks on your ad. That’s great for financial services because you can target very specific keywords like “best retirement plan” or “how to invest in crypto,” and reach people who are actively looking for what you offer.
Here’s how it typically works:
You choose keywords related to your service (e.g. “forex trading tips” or “personal loan help”).
You write an ad and set a budget.
Your ad shows up when someone searches those terms or visits relevant websites.
You pay only when someone clicks—and hopefully, they convert on your landing page.
Now, the tricky part with financial services is that some big platforms (like Google Ads) can be really strict about what types of finance ads they allow. Plus, the cost per click can be pretty high because it’s a competitive space.
That’s why I started testing alternative PPC networks like 7Search PPC. It’s a smaller platform, but it’s actually been a good fit for finance campaigns. The traffic costs less, and they’re more flexible with finance-related content. I’ve been able to get targeted traffic without burning through my budget in a day, which helped a lot when I was still figuring out my funnel.
So yeah—PPC definitely works for financial services, but you need to:
Target the right audience
Have a clear, trustworthy landing page
Watch your costs carefully
If you’re on a smaller budget or just starting out, platforms like 7Search PPC are worth looking into while you test things out.
