# From Google AdWords Campaign Management Experts: #1 Reason Paid Ads Fail

 Reading Time: 4 minutes

Nobody of sound mind would set a goal to pour money into paid ad campaigns destined to fail. Yet this is exactly what businesses are doing when they run campaigns without any set strategy in place that promotes audience engagement. When audiences don’t recognize or trust the companies running the ads, there aren’t going to be any clicks. And when zero recognition dictates low CTRs, CPC (cost per click) will be high, and continue to go up.

Here is a typical cycle: your goal to to sell products by driving traffic to a landing page or a website’s multiple pages, and get converted buyers from it. Tat said, you invest in Facebook ads, along with paid adverts for Instagram and LinkedIn. You are also making use of Google Display Network and AdWords. Each one of these sources is attempting to send traffic to your targeted pages that garner sales.

Your CPC is high; it started high because it’s a new campaign and therefore none of the platforms you are using recognize your brand or campaign. That said, a high CPC will be second-nature until [digital marketing agencies offering Google AdWords campaign management](http://webitmd.com/expertise/ppc-paid-search-management/) can prove high engagement as opposed to the pre-existing low engagement signals that exist to slap you in the face with a big catch-22. How do you get out?

## Know the Why

When you start with low engagement rates, and people fail to click on your display and AdWords ads, the cost to show people these adverts goes up, and as a result it becomes more challenging to be profitable while ads get shown to fewer buyer audience members. Your ability to expose yourself to your audience is narrowed, and the cost to show an ad to the next person goes up. This happens when the target audience has no clue as to who you are, and if people don’t know who you are they don’t trust or like you and won’t click your ads.
