Google AdWords on CPCS- Cost Per Click
Large companies pay billions of dollars annually for television, newspaper and magazine advertisements, hoping that customers will pay good attention and money to their product or service. Google AdWords is a bit of a rebel; a rebel with a good cause of course. Based on a Cost per Click (CPC) method, this means you only have to pay when someone clicks your ad and lands on your website. Here’s a basic scenario. If you’re a portrait photographer, the keywords you would be bidding for are ‘portrait’ and ‘photography.’ Want to be at the top of the class? You have the ability of specifying your Google AdWords by including the city or state your business is located. Unlike other paid advertising mediums, you can set a daily budget so you don’t have to deal with the misfortune of bullies clicking your ad unnecessarily.
Research and Test method
Before you purchase a Google AdWords advertisement, research what big competitors and businesses are doing by analysing the content and how they are displayed on the search engine. Most successful ads cater to a large demographic but are specific to the niche industry they are targeting. If you aren’t getting your desired results, change your ads description accordingly. Google AdWords is like a Science lesson where trial and error is highly encouraged.
Focus on quality and your customer
Google looks at your ad and analyses how relevant your keywords are in relation to what a user is searching. This means when your advertisement obtains a greater Quality Score centred on relativity, Google will position you to the top of other ads no matter how high the keyword bid of another business. Placing an importance on your customers’ needs and wants is the most important formula in achieving a Quality Score. Create an ad copy that specifically caters to the need of the identified search. You can create competitive value by adding free shipping, online discounts as well as a call to action. Focus on your consumers’ needs and wants and they’ll be loyal to you.
Implementing Negative Keywords
Negative keywords are words you don’t want on your ad display. You want to create a campaign that’s tightly-targeted, removing completely unrelated enquiries that’s proven to be costly. For example, if you were advertising a portrait photography service and just wanted people to search for your services as opposed to people searching for a photography job, you would apply they word ‘jobs’ and other affiliated words in to your negative keywords campaign.
