Book 2

AdWords at a Glance

Building powerful campaigns means starting with the right tools AdWords is just like any other workplace tool – once you understand its features, using them becomes second nature. You don’t think about how to write a sentence; you just pick up a pen and do it. The same goes for AdWords – it may seem complex at first, but once you’ve learned the ins and outs, you’ll find yourself racing around its pages and managing your campaigns like a master. Our first guide helped you make your campaign more effective, better targeted and easier to measure. Here in book 2, we’ll complete your knowledge of the major AdWords features.

Search Terms Report “I’d love to better understand how my customers think.

Stay relevant – search terms report

Apparently the terms they use in searches change all the time. Can I update my keywords regularly to keep up? And how about visitors who find me by chance? What terms did they search? Is there some way I can filter out off-target traffic?”

It’s easy to forget that the words people use in their Google searches change and evolve all the time. So, keywords which worked six months ago might be less effective today. You need to move with them to stay relevant, and the search terms report helps do this by suggesting new keywords. Also, some visitors reach your site by chance – but still make an enquiry or a purchase. The search terms report shows you what words they searched that ultimately led them to you. By adding terms, you can attract more customers, not just clicks.

Comparative Testing “We’re writing our ad and deciding about language. [free delivery] is my preferred phrase. My team like [unbeatable prices]. Is there any way to learn for sure who is right, and which phrases will be most attractive to our customers?”

Contrast and compare – comparative testing Unlike most other forms of advertising, AdWords ads are easily tested. Simply run two ads with different content over the same time period and ‘track conversions.’ Customers vote with their clicks; you’ll quickly learn which ads, phrases, products or services are most compelling for your target audience.

Here are some other tips for writing great ads:  nique Selling Point U What’s your unique selling point that makes your product or offer truly different? Turn it into a quick phrase and test it to see if it works.

 eyword Inclusion K When someone searches on a word that appears in your ad, it will be highlighted in a bold font. So add that keyword into your copy to boost your clickthrough rate.

 all To Action C Tell your prospect what you’d like him or her to do. Call now? Order while stocks last? It sounds obvious, but some ad writers forget to close the deal.

Quality Score “What exactly is my Quality Score? And why is it so important?”

Focus on your rating – Quality Score Your Quality Score is Google’s way of rating how well your landing page matches the ad and keywords that deliver visitors to it. People want a smooth, seamless journey to the relevant section of your website. To boost your Quality Score use the most helpful keywords, and add destination URLs that deliver interested users straight to the right section. This matters because a good score is rewarded with a higher page position and lower advertising costs.

3 tips to boost your Quality Score 1. Think about creating ad groups – small bundles of similar keywords, linked to closely matching ads, that lead to relevant pages on your site. 2. Make sure your landing pages are always matched to specific relevant keywords. 3. Allow seamless navigation to the relevant section of your site.
