campaign which ad draws the most attention , generates more clicks and
conversions.

important presence tool at various points in a company's marketing plan .
3- Plan your budget when creating Adwords campaign
For your campaign to be
successful, you need to know how to properly plan the budget that your company
will make available for online advertising ads.
Even with a low investment it is
possible to create Adwords campaigns, however, you will have to choose your
keywords very carefully, paying attention to even the smallest details.
The budget on Google Adwords is
that it will keep your advertising on the air and available for users to click
and get to know your product or service.
Analyzing the budget is crucial to
the progress of your campaign, without this detailed analysis, you risk losing
money and thus blaming Google Adwords for the poor performance with online
advertising ads.
Tip: To make a monthly budget
calculation, divide by 30 days, and you will reach the maximum amount to be
paid per day, if the campaign is only for working days, divide by 22 days.
4- Choose a location and exhibition time
There is no way to do a Google
Adwords campaign with good results without choosing a suitable display
location.
There is no need to run a campaign
throughout United Kingdom. However, if your company serves the whole of United
Kingdom, it is important to make a specific announcement for each region and
also prepare specific bids for each city or state.
Display times also need to be
defined when creating Adwords campaigns. If your company only serves during
business hours, you have no reason to leave the ad showing 24 hours, if that
happens you still risk losing money invested.
When planning your campaign, you
should pre-define the time and places for your ad to show, so you will avoid
clicking on places and times that can cost you in your daily budget.
5- Define your strategies
The definition of a strategy is
essential to achieve your expectations regarding your campaign, or at least,
present the objectives and goals you want to achieve.
You should never create a Google
Adwords campaign just for creating or having an ad on Google, just because your
competitors do the same.
Design your campaign to increase
your company's revenue and turnover in a fully measurable way and thus have a
significant return on investment.
Have a panoramic view of the
market and have some questions, such as:
·
What is the purpose of your
business with this campaign?
·
What is your target audience or
persona? And what do they look for?
·
What paths should you take to
achieve a satisfactory performance?
·
What are my competitors
advertising?
·
What are my competitors
offering?
You must have the answers to these
questions at the tip of the tongue, so that you will be able to define your
strategy well according to each campaign. I also prepared 3 tips that will help
you in defining strategy. See below:
Do not use generic keywords, they
tend to consume your investment a lot and will not increase your conversion
rate.
Have Google Analytics as your ally
and make the most of this tool.
Target, target, target. That's
right, have a focus and segmentation, so, in addition to the campaign getting
more organized, it will be possible to measure the results in a more practical
and objective way.
6- Types of CPC
There are 3 types of CPC that you
need to understand when doing an Adwords campaign. CPC is the actual amount you
will pay for each click that your ad will receive through a keyword.
Know now the 3 types of CPC:
·
Maximum CPC: This is the
maximum amount that you (the advertiser) are willing to pay.
·
Average CPC: The value is a
result of a sum of the average cost-per-click. Quick example: You have two ads,
one cost 10 cents per click and the other 20 cents per click, the average
amount that will be paid per click is 15 cents.
·
Real CPC: This is the actual
amount to be paid for each click and may vary according to the advertisement
displayed, as auctions are being held at all times.
7- How Google Adwords auctions work
Google Adwords auctions are a fair
way to determine a competition within the concepts of online advertising, in
this case, sponsored links.
So, be aware that Google does not
randomly set the display of ads or divide these impressions, the ads are
displayed according to their quality and also how much you are willing to pay
for them to appear.
There is a peculiarity in Google
Adwords, in addition to the defined CPC values. The quality score of an ad is
taken into account for its display and to measure its relevance, this is a key
element for your campaign's ad to be displayed on Google.
