Tips for Google Campaigns

Show your ads more often.
Your daily budget determines how often your ad is shown for your keywords.
» To maximize the number of times your ad is shown throughout the day, we will set the daily budget to Google’s recommended amount, unless we determine a more effective budget for your marketing campaign.

Improve your ad's position.
Your ad's position is determined by two factors: maximum cost-per-click and your ad's actual click-through rate (CTR).

» Increasing either your maximum cost-per-click (CPC) or your ad's click-through rate (CTR) will improve your ad's position.

We have conducted studies that prove an inverse correlation between click-through-rate (CTR) and cost-per-click (CPC). In other words, the higher your CTR, the lower your CPC.

Example of our recent findings:
CTR to CPC is about 1.0 to .29%
Example: (+/- .03%)
Data collected from same ad group
with three different alternating ads
CTR = 3.9% CPC = $0.79 served 33%
CTR = 2.9% CPC = $1.11 served 35%
CTR = 1.9% CPC = $1.43 served 32%

Google AdWords ads connect you with new customers at the precise moment when they're looking for your products or services. The Google Network reaches more than 80% of Internet users.

Details for Overture Campaigns

Overture’s Pay-For-Performance (PFP) business model is a little more cut and dry than Google. We simply select the most searched and relevant keywords and set a bid price to achieve a desired position.


Overture’s bid tool is designed so that we can see the maximum cost-per-click (CPC) your competitors are willing to pay for each keyword. We then factor in whether bidding higher or lower is more cost effective in determining your return on investment (ROI).

Search Listings
Search listings are set up with a title, description, and URL tracking code down to the keyword level, which will direct the user to the desired landing page and in turn increase your opportunity for a desired action or sale.
Only ads in the top three positions are guaranteed placement on Overture partner sites.

The Success Rate of Overture depends on good management and research.


Some Overture Partners
» All the web, Alta-Vista, CNN, HP, Info Search, MSN and Yahoo

Google and Overture Campaigns

Content and Keyword Targeting

We will optimize your content and keyword targeting.

Targeting ~ who should see your ad
Select keywords and phrases relevant to your product or service.
General keywords will generate the most impressions, but will often result in the fewest number of clicks.

For example, if you sell golf equipment, you wouldn't want to choose the keyword "golf," because your ads could appear to people searching for subjects (such as golf lessons) unrelated to your business. Instead, you should select more descriptive phrases for your products or services so your ads will appear to those who matter—prospective customers searching for what you have to offer.
You might want to try:
» Golf clubs
» Golf shoes
» Golf Balls
Not everyone will enter the same keyword spellings to search for your type of product or service. You can increase your chances of reaching more prospects by including spelling variations and plurals in your keyword list.

Examples:
» Golf club
» Golf clubs
» Golf Set


Content - What should your ad say?

Include keywords in your ad text or title.
» If your keywords appear in your ad text, users will be able to immediately recognize that your ad is relevant to their search.
» One way to create targeted ads is to create multiple ads within an Ad Group. In each ad, include one or more of the keywords from your keyword list.
» Another way to customize your ad text is to create multiple Ad Groups, each with one keyword and one ad that contains that keyword.

We believe a clear style.
» Short, non-repetitive sentences work best.
» Double-check spelling and grammar.
We will test multiple ads per Ad Group.
» Try different messages, and see what works best.
» Our system tracks the CTR for each of your ads, so we can identify and remove ads that perform poorly.

Identify the unique aspects of your product or service.
» What makes your product or service useful, relevant, better, and different?
» We will call attention to the unique benefits you offer to set you apart from the competition and to attract more searchers.

Example: "Wholesale prices on brand names"
Use a strong call-to-action.
» We will use a call-to-action to prepare your audience for what you want them to do.
» We will make sure that this phrase is unique and specific to your business so that it is more informative and compelling and distinguishes you from the competition.

Example: "Register for membership now," "Save on DVD's," "Get cheap stereos," or "Join now for 20% discount."

Links - landing pages & conversion tracking

Link to relevant and informative web pages.
» Users click on your ad when they are interested in what you offer. We will make it easy for them to find out more by sending them to a relevant destination (landing) page.
» Make your landing page easy and intuitive for the user to understand.

Example: If your ad offers a free product, link directly to a page that clearly displays that product.

Track your conversions.
We intend to generate measurable results. We will work with you to generate custom landing pages, which contain an intentionally laid-out selection of “lead elements.” A lead element is any aspect of the site that generates direct contact between yourself and your potential client. Some of the more commonly used elements include:


» Buy Now
» Order buttons
» Contact forms
» Bulletin boards or forums
» Email newsletter subscription box
» A phone number


Once we have determined which lead elements will appear on your custom landing page, we will ask you to set the relative value of each item. In other words, you may consider a completed contact form more valuable than, say and a subscription to your email newsletter. We can then track the progress of the page over time, making adjustments when necessary. Our objective will be to generate demonstrable increases, not only in leads, but also in the exact kinds of leads you desire, via our PPC Management service.
