There’s no question that PPC (pay per click) advertising and an AdWords campaign are must-haves for any company looking to successfully grow their online visibility. An AdWords campaign is relatively easy and quick to set-up, which is where a lot of companies are led up the garden path. They fall under the false impression that AdWords is a set-and-forget tool that will work autonomously with no ongoing input from the creator. This hands-off approach can see the campaign bumble along, burning through your budget on unwanted clicks from the wrong audience that don’t lead to conversions. Let us show you how we constantly till the AdWords soil for the best returns.
If we can compare digital marketing to gardening for a moment, setting up a good AdWords campaign won’t necessarily see you reaping what you sowed. Like nature, the internet is an ever-evolving environment where things are changing constantly. In gardening or digital marketing, failure to adapt can result in a poor harvest or worse yet, complete decimation.
Any gardener worth their mettle will tell you the most fruitful gardens are the ones that receive regular maintenance from an attentive green thumb: weeding, preening, seasonal planting and harvesting, soil prep, fertiliser… etc. There are lots of influencing factors that change over time and require constant tending to achieve success. The same can be said for AdWords campaigns and it takes ongoing management of proactive and reactive measures by a skilled digital marketer to ensure successful campaign optimisation and the ultimate return on your investment.
With a skilled and experienced team of digital marketers doing your (AdWords) bidding for you, you can spend more of your valuable time on other important areas of your business. Here at Apex we take pride in our ability to monitor and manage our clients’ AdWords campaigns on the daily. Let’s look at a few real-world, case-in-point examples of how we’ve identified issues with AdWords campaigns and made tweaks to increase conversions and optimise ROI.
Using Google’s AI tech to influence ad position
We keep a close eye on the position of a campaign’s ads, especially on mobile where not being in the top positions can see a dramatic drop off in conversions. Listings towards the top of the first results page get the lion share of clicks, but it’s not a race skyward at all costs as a high listing is pointless if the ad isn’t converting. In some instances, we employ AdWords’ Smart Bidding strategies and conversion tracking to help address the balance between ad position versus budget and conversions. Even with the help of Google’s AI-powered Smart Bidding tool, finding this balance and achieving optimal results ultimately requires an experienced eye and a deep understanding of which tools and approaches should be used.
Saving you time and money
Hopefully if you’ve read this far you’ve gathered that the amount of time taken to set-up an AdWords campaign is dwarfed by the amount of time we spend protecting our client’s marketing investment with ongoing campaign management and optimisation.
With deep roots in managing successful AdWords campaigns, qualified by our certified Google Premier Partner status, we can easily take the time pressure of fitting campaign maintenance into your daily schedule off your shoulders. We’ll apply our expert knowledge and digital marketing green thumb to cultivating your very own AdWords garden of Eden that will continually bloom financially, month after month.
