Benefits of Google Ads PPC Advertising
PPC delivers results faster than SEO
Both SEO and PPC are tools to generate more traffic to a website and to attract new customers.
With Google Ads, you will increase relevant traffic to your site in much less time than with organic optimisation. PPC Advertising is instantly visible.
However, don’t forget about SEO. This is a long-term activity that should have a firm place in your marketing strategy. But you won’t make a week-to-week turnaround with it. That’s why you need to have well-set expectations.
Many businesses particularly enjoy SEO where you only pay for results.
Pinpoint targeting
Every Google Ads campaign offers settings options, where you can precisely define which search queries or audiences you want to target with your ad.
Remarketing via Google Ads and performance measurement
In Google Ads, you can see the number of clicks on your ad, new leads and keyword relevance. Based on conversion measurement, you’ll see the campaigns and targeting that contributed to product sales.
When one click does not do the magic
If a PPC ad brings in a new customer, but they still leave your eshop, remind them. With remarketingRemarketing is the repeated display of targeted ads to potential customers based on their previous interactions with the site. Learn more now. More audiences, you can reach users who have left without taking an important action and motivate them to complete their purchase.
How Does the Google Ads Account Structure Work?
Before you successfully advertise, familiarise yourself with the Google Ads structure. You can choose from several campaign types – depending on your business.
Google recommends creating and managing as few campaigns as possible. This is because when measuring conversions, a lean structure will ensure you have enough data to optimise performance.
Setting up a Google Ads account is easy and can be done in minutes. You can do so on this page.
This is how you can see an ad campaign in the Display Network.
How to create an ad in Google Ads?
Once you’ve set up your account, create your ad campaigns, keeping a few factors in mind:
- Set up billing: A daily budget for your ads.
- Decide where to advertise: In Google Search (or Maps and Shopping) or on the content network (YouTube, Gmail, AdSense, DoubleClick Ad Exchange).
- Create an ad campaign: We recommend copying the structure of the e-shop (e.g. Sunglasses) for the title.
- Create an advertising group: Here too it pays to copy the structure of the e-shop (e.g. Ray-Ban sunglasses).
- Add keywords and other extensions (subpages, descriptions or phone) to the ad group.
- Choose an appropriate keyword match and add exclusionary keywords that you don’t want your ad to show for.
- Create text ads: Be concise and try to engage the user as much as possible. Keep in mind that headlines can be a maximum of 30 characters.
