Optimize Your PPC Campaign Spend with Budget Pacing

Ever wish it was easier to monitor how your PPC campaigns are pacing relative to your target budget?

The new budget pacer will monitor and forecast your month end spend pace and compare it to your budget.

  • Pacing behind? The Budget Utilization Alert will appear to let you know that your campaign is forecasted to under deliver (ie. based on current bids you won't be able to deploy your full budget)
  • Pacing ahead? The Low Budget Alert will appear to give you a forecast of what you'd need to increase your monthly budget to in order to prevent your budget from running out mid-month and your campaigns getting disabled

Budget pacing alerts instantly do the math on the fly for you so you can just monitor your dashboard to quickly check in on how your campaigns are pacing relative to your budget and gives you actionable tips of how to optimize your bids and budget to generate the most amount of clicks and leads.

Weekly Newsletter Sponsorship Now Available Separate

Since launching the new dynamic PPC auction for the Home Page + Newsletter placement (Jan '25 Update) , we have had lots of vendors inquiring about just advertising in one or the other.  

As such, we have decided to split these into two distinct auctions allowing advertisers to be able to bid on each separately.

If you had an active bid in the Home Page + Newsletter auction your settings (bid amount and tracking link) have been applied across both of the new auctions to ensure that you continue generating visibility across each.

In addition to splitting out the auctions to make each available individually for enhanced targeting, the Weekly Newsletter is now available for fixed price sponsorships.  Single sends and discounted 4x packs are available which you can learn more about below.

Introducing the Live PPC Auction

We're excited to announce a new way to generate even more visibility and leads via HotelTechReport through the all new, live PPC Auction 🚀.  The live PPC Auction will be available in select categories at launch and will open up a scalable new ad format to drive clicks to your website in autopilot.

Learn more



TL;DR

  • What.  HTR launched a live pay-per-click (ppc) ad auction platform
  • Why. Scale demand generation by running campaigns to drive hyper targeted clicks to your website. The best part, HTR's PPC campaigns run in full autopilot meaning they're easier to manage than Google PPC and more targeted than Linkedin. No keyword strategy required or expensive ad agencies taking a percentage of spend.
  • How. Just set your bid, budget and target categories - then watch the conversions come in on Company name's website like magic 🪄
  • Cost. You set your own budget and bids to win clicks in the auction so campaigns can be optimized for any size budget.  Want to know how much to budget to generate max clicks? We recommend ~3-5x your lead forecast or allocating 20% of your current PPC spend on other platforms like Google or Linkedin so your demand gen team can compare the results of HTR's PPC program against other platforms and scale up or down accordi
