Our Crypto PPC agency for blockchain projects & companies (a.k.a – Crypto Paid Ads Advertising on Google, Bing, & LinkedIn) can be very effective for cryptocurrency entities but there are certain restrictions for both platforms.

This is why finding a proven and experienced crypto PPC agency is critical to long-term growth.

According to a recent Google Ads support article, “Cryptocurrency exchanges are allowed to advertise through Google Ads, but they must be certified by Google, and their products, landing pages, and ads must meet all local legal requirements of the country they want to get certified for”. However, several projects choose to advertise in regions outside of the United States to not worry about the regulation associated with the USA.

Can You Advertise Cryptocurrency Projects on Bing Ads?

Although Microsoft’s Bing blocked about 5 million cryptocurrency ads in 2018, they have recently been more lenient on allowing certain projects to advertise. According to our assigned Bing Ads Agency rep, they are now allowing advertisers to promote several crypto entities similar to those allowed to advertise in Google. This allows advertising for cryptocurrency wallets and exchanges that are registered in the US and targeting US customers. There are other countries such as Europe that are able to advertise certain cryptocurrency businesses. As the same for Google, Bing does not allow advertising for ICO’s or entities promoting the sale, trade or purchase of specific cryptocurrencies.

How Much Of Your Advertising Budget Should You Allocate Towards Crypto Paid Ads?

Since there are many other effective and efficient ways to advertise your blockchain company and not just crypto paid ads, we do not recommend you spend your entire budget on Google and Bing Ads. We suggest identifying your unique goals ahead of time to determine exactly who your target audience is, along with realistic goals. We offer a free consultation with our expert team who have helped hundreds of companies dramatically increase their revenue online. Typically, we recommend about 15-25% of your total advertising budget should be allocated to pay per click campaigns.

How To Choose The Best Crypto PPC Marketing Agency For Your Cryptocurrency Project?

There are several crypto PPC agencies or individuals who represent themselves as experts in the field but it can be difficult to filter who is the best. Teaming up with the right company that truly understands the regulations and loopholes in the industry is under-appreciated. If you hire a crypto marketing team with experience running crypto ads, you have a much better chance of getting your ads serving faster and more efficiently. If you don’t choose the right team, you could get your ads and even site suspended which will also affect your crypto SEO campaign.

Here are some determining factors on how to choose the best crypto paid ad agency.

Is the agency a Premier Google Partner and Microsoft Bing Ads Partner?

We have access to internal teams that can assist with ad approval, beta campaigns, industry reporting and analysis, ect.

Does the agency specialize in Blockchain and Cryptocurrency advertising?

Work with a company that day in and day out works within the crypto space and you will get better results than working with a typical ad agency.

Make sure the agency has meticulous tracking and you know your exact goals

There is nothing worse than spending money and having no idea where it is going. Rather than throwing darts against the wall to see what sticks, create specific goals and track your ROI and ROAS down to the search query.

Don’t work with an agency that requires a contract or long commitment

This is a red flag that agencies require a 6 month or 12 month contract when advertising. Our philosophy is tracking, data and testing. If we are noticing another advertising platform or service is yielding better ROI, we try to maximize growth where we see fit.
