What is PPC (pay-per-click) and how it works for a business

PPC (pay-per-click) is the advertising model where you pay only when someone clicks your ad, not for the impression. The position you appear in is not bought directly with money, it is decided by an auction where your bid and the quality of the ad both count, not budget alone.

Lead generation captures demand that already exists (high intent, limited volume), demand generation creates it (builds future pipeline). Cheap leads are usually low-intent and never convert, so what matters is cost per qualified pipeline, not cost per lead. Optimise for the cheapest lead and you fill the pipeline with contacts that never buy.
