If you are setting up your Google Ads then below step by step instructions I created will help you get the most out of Google Ads.
Each campaign can have ad groups and in each ad group you can create multiple ads.
Some tips to optimise the ads in your ad groups:
- You must create at least 3 Ads in Each Ad group. Google will find out which ad is performing the best and will show it more often.
- Edit the keywords with Low Quality Score (Google tells you with a notification which keyword has low score). Make them short and if you have low Quality Score in phrase match and Exact Match keywords then change them to Broad Match Modifier. You can do this by adding (+) sign in front of important keywords. Example: +Best +Italian +Restaurant +Sydney This means that no matter what your potential customer search, if these 4 keywords are there in the search term then your ad will show.
- Avoid using Long tail Keywords. Two words are enough or sometimes 3 for Broad Match Modifier.
- If you strictly want to show your ad for exactly the keywords you entered then keep it in Exact match. Ex- [Shoes online] Usually more advance users use these options because they have the skills and right tools to find out exact keywords.
- If you have added any keyword which is not bringing any impressions or clicks then feel free to pause them or remove them. I recommend test it first for few days though.
Make 1 Ad with Dynamic Keyword Insertion: If keyword matches with search term. The search term will automatically become your headline. Create New Text Ad> Headline 1 Write “{” bracket > Select Keyword Insertion> Write the any keyword in Default Text. Ex – Geotechnical > Apply> It will look like {keyword: Geotechnical} Geotechnical Engineer in Australia | Call Now . Save.
Performance Monitoring: Includes the ability to track the overall performance of your campaign(s).
Don’t forget to add extensions.
The extensions can expand your ad occupying more space in Google results page means more visibility and of course gives you chance to add other useful info.
