Handbook of PPC Advertising by Dr. Anubhav Gupta
A practical paid media guide for marketers, founders, agencies and growth teams who want to plan, execute, optimise and scale PPC campaigns with stronger strategy, sharper tracking and better return on ad spend.
What is Handbook of PPC Advertising?
Handbook of PPC Advertising is a practical paid media book by Dr. Anubhav Gupta. It explains how PPC campaigns should be planned, structured, tracked, optimised and scaled across platforms such as Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads and other performance channels.
Most PPC accounts waste money before the first click becomes useful
Paid advertising can be powerful, but only when the campaign has clear targeting, clean tracking, strong landing pages, sensible bidding and regular optimisation. Otherwise, budget burns quickly and learning remains scattered.
Campaign architecture
Learn why campaign structure, ad groups, intent buckets and landing page mapping affect cost and performance.
Audience and intent
Connect keywords, remarketing, lookalike audiences, buyer stages and high-intent search behaviour.
Tracking and analytics
Understand how conversion tracking, GA4, lead quality and attribution influence PPC decisions.
ROAS discipline
Optimise for sustainable return, not only cheaper clicks, vanity reach or surface-level engagement.
A practical learning map for paid media planning and optimisation
The book explains PPC as a complete system: strategy, setup, bidding, targeting, creative, landing pages, analytics and improvement loops.
Keyword and intent strategy
Use keyword research, match types, negative keywords and intent segmentation to improve traffic quality.
Bidding and budget logic
Understand manual bidding, automated bidding, budget pacing, CPA targets and scaling decisions.
Ad copy and creative testing
Create clearer hooks, offers, proof points and ad variations for search, display and social platforms.
Landing page alignment
Match ad intent with page messaging, trust signals, enquiry forms and conversion-focused page design.
Conversion tracking
Set up tracking discipline so campaigns are judged by useful enquiries and revenue signals, not only clicks.
Scaling and optimisation
Use performance data, search terms, audience behaviour and creative tests to improve campaigns over time.
PPC should be built like a measurable growth system
The strongest PPC accounts are not built on guesswork. They are built through a repeatable process of strategy, setup, launch, testing, tracking and refinement.
Define the business objective
Decide whether the campaign is meant to generate leads, sales, calls, enquiries, trials, visits or retargeted conversions.
Map audience and funnel stage
Separate cold searchers, warm visitors, comparison-stage users and remarketing audiences before deciding platform and budget.
Build campaign architecture
Structure campaigns around intent, offer, geography, audience, landing page and expected conversion action.
Create landing page alignment
Make sure ad promises, page content, proof, form design and CTA language are aligned before scaling spend.
Track useful conversions
Measure calls, forms, leads, sales, WhatsApp clicks and enquiry quality so budget decisions are not made blindly.
Optimise and scale carefully
Use search terms, audience performance, creative tests, cost data and conversion quality before increasing budgets.
