Branded keywords are search terms that include your business name. Even if you already show up first in the free organic results, bidding on your own name still has value because it takes up more space on the page and pushes competitors down. Some businesses bid on your brand name just to steal your traffic, so having a paid ad at the top protects that space. The cost is usually low since your own brand is highly relevant to your ads. Do you think paying for traffic you might already get for free is a smart move?

Even if your site already ranks numbee one organically, bidding on your own branded keywords can still be useful. It lets you take up more space on the search results page and blocks competitors from stealing clicks. But if no one else is bidding and your organic CTR is strong, it may not be worth the extra spend.

I think it can still be worth bidding on branded keywords even when a business ranks first organically. Paid ads often take up additional space on the search results page, which can increase visibility and reduce the chances of competitors attracting clicks from people searching for your brand. In some cases, the combined presence of a paid ad and an organic listing can lead to more total traffic.
