www.promomasters.ch

What are the Goals?

1. As Much Quality Traffic

2. For The Lowest Price Possible

3. With The Least Amount of Work!

www.promomasters.ch

Why Structure Is Important?

What do we mean by AdWords Structure?

This is how you organize your Campaigns, Ad Groups

In an ideal (timeless world) we would have each keyword managed separately – This is not practical!

2 Principal Goals• Make it easier to Manage

• Make it easier to Measure

www.promomasters.ch

What are Campaigns?

Campaigns are the Largest Group within an AdWords account.

For Each Campaign we can adjust:• Daily Budget

• Geographic Targeting

• Which Networks we display our Ads on

• Times of the Day the Ads are displayed

Our Suggestion - Use Different Campaigns for: • Different Niches, Different Countries/Areas, Different Parts of Google

Network

www.promomasters.ch

What Are Ad Groups?

Ad Groups are sub groups of Campaigns

For Each Ad Group you have:• A group of Keywords

• A Specific Ad or Ads

• Destination URL = Landing Page

• Default Max CPC

Use Ad Groups for like minded search terms

www.promomasters.ch

Selecting the Correct Keywords

We need to tell Google what topics/search terms should Trigger Your Ads to Display

Your Initial Link to Your Customer

The Wrong Keywords = The Wrong Customers

Use the Keyword Planner

www.promomasters.ch

Keyword Matching

You cannot put every single different keyword into Adwords. Google helps us by matching our keywords to customers search terms, but we need to tell them how we want it done

[tennis shoes] = Exact Match (An exact term)

• tennis shoes is the only search term possible

“tennis shoes” = Phrase Match (A Phrase)

• Example: red tennis shoes or Nike tennis shoes or tennis shoes for women

tennis shoes = Broad Match (Any Related Search)

• Example: shoes for tennis or tennis trainers or tennis shoe

-Children = negative match (Campaign or AdGroup Level)

www.promomasters.ch

How to Implement?

• Use negative keywords to get rid of irrelevant or undesirable customers

• Use all three match types on all your keywords

• Each will produce a different quality of traffic, then adjust your bid price for each keyword so that they are all independently economical.

• Some will not be economical – Delete them

www.promomasters.ch

Why is CTR so Important?

Your CTR is one of the most important factors in determining the success of your AdWords campaign!

Why? - It determines how much money Google gets paid!

Google Likes getting paid so they reward you with a higher ad position and/or lower CPC

www.promomasters.ch

Why CTR is Important

CTR = Clicks/Imptherefore

Clicks = CTR x Impand

GI (Google’s Income) = CPC x Clickstherefore

GI = CPC x CTR x Imp

Imp = Approx 12 per search (Fixed)

CPC = Limited By What is Economic for each Business

www.promomasters.ch

Why CTR is Important

A Higher CTR means:• A better Ad Position

• Lower CPC

• A Better Quality Score (Next Part)

• You can pay half as much per click for the same ad position as your competitors if you have twice the click though rate!

www.promomasters.ch

Writing Great Ads

We Increase our CTR by:• Having a Good Structure

• Targeting the Correct Customers

• WRITING BETTER ADS

• Customer Will Not Read Your Ad – They Will Glance at it!

• Needs to be consistent with “The Story” but the Number one Goal: GET THE CUSTOMER TO CLICK

www.promomasters.ch

Ad Writing Tips

Headline (25 Characters)• Attention Grabbing

• Must Contain Main Keywords

• Main Selling Point

Body (2 Lines of 35 Characters)• Main Issues, Selling Points, Catch Phrases

• Benefits Sell not Features

• Should Contain Keywords

Display URL (35 Characters)• Must Relate to Destination URL

• Use it, it is Valuable Space

www.promomasters.ch

Ad Writing Applied

• At all times you should be running 2 Ads

• You run the Ads until they have had enough clicks and/or impressions that one is statistically better that the other.

• You delete the Ad with the lowest CTR

• You write an Ad the same as the best Ad with one small change either to the Headline, The Body or the Display URL.

• Make sure you keep the story consistent – You will know when you are going wrong as the conversion rate will drop.

What is a Quality Score?

• The reason Google is so successful is that they are the best at providing relevant search results. This is fundamental to everything they do.

• Quality Score is a Great Development as it makes you a better marketer!
