PPC marketing in Google Adwords is no different. There are so many costs involved in PPC marketing such as cost per conversion, cost per click and so on. Remarkably, they are all inter-related, for instance your cost per conversion is sure to go down if your cost per click descends. So you work on one thing and everything automatically gets on the track.
There are two ways you can lower your CPC either you lower your bid, which is however not recommended or Google lowers your CPC depending upon your ad rank prized by it. Now what would be the ways that will make Google improve your ad rank and eventually reduce your CPC? Here are six most basic ways that will help you reduce cost per click in Google Adwords.
1) Right targeting
When you start creating highly targeted ads to your one keyword, it will eventually increase the click-through rate that will in turn increase your quality scores making your ad rank to go up and lowering your CPC in the end. Therefore, the more relevant your ads are, lower will be your CPC.

Quality Score is Google’s rating of the quality and relevance of your keywords, landing pages and PPC ads. Google determines your cost per click through it and also determines your ad rank by multiplying it to your maximum bid. Higher your quality scores are, lower will be your cost per click.
4) Click-through Rate
It is the metric that really happens to be very important when it comes to the lowering of cost per click. If people who see your ads click it, it indicates Google that your ads are relevant and helpful to the visitors. So, based on such indications Google lowers your cost per click if your click-through rate is high.
