Speak the language of your customer
The best advertising is specific

Google Keyword Planner
Search volume, relevance, competition
What is your customer thinking?
What are they looking for?
How would they search for it?
Identify your unique selling proposition
‘search for new keywords..’ -> add in your keyword terms -> ‘get ideas’
look into different ad groups for ideas, add keyword filters on sidebar, ‘add to plan’ so you can make an ad group from all the keywords you select, type in your landing page and see what Google suggests
‘get click and cost performance forecast’ -> type in keywords -> ‘enter a bid’ -> see daily forecast
Five keyword options
broad match- default, matches words that are closely related such as synonyms, captures large audience, irrelevant clicks
broad match modifier- use + in front of keyword (+womens +hats) contains close modifications but not synonyms, can be in any order, can have irrelevant clicks
phrase match- use quotes around phrase (“womens hats”), must be in specified order
exact match- use brackets ([womens hats]), search cannot contain any other term
negative match- use – (-women) prevents ad from displaying when search contains that term
Creating your first Campaign
+ Campaign -> ‘Search Network Only’ -> click ‘all features’ (dynamic search ads?) -> Name campaign with..
Goal | Objective |Targets | Effort
Ex. Search | Online Reservations | USA SF Intent | Summer Discount
-> Uncheck ‘include search partners’ -> Choose specific locations -> leave locations as recommended -> Unless you have a good reason only target one language ->
Bid Settings
“how much is a sale and what is the max I’m willing to spend each day for your goal”
- 100 for book now and 50 for max per day, Cost per acquisition is 50..
“how many clicks will it take for someone to purchase a sale?”
3% CTR will click on ad with 1000 impressions which is 30 people (people who click on ad is CTR, 3% is good) -> 5% will click on ‘Book Now’ on the site which is 30 people X 5% which is 1
-> In this example you need 30 clicks for 50 dollars or less. Divide 50 CPA (which you determined is the price for a sale) by the clicks needed to get a sale which is 30, so $50/30 = $1.66, which is how much your max pay should be, ‘Default Pay is 1.66’
Set budget based on how much you can afford and how many conversions you can hope for each day. Start out with a sample budget you feel comfortable spending within the first couple months

Deciding on a remarketing budget
Up to 5% as a test budget, target various ad sizes to obtain discounted inventory.
What to ask to determine CPC Variable
Do we want to spend less or more on visitors who already visited our website?
Do we want to adjust our bid to be higher for people who visited our shopping cart?
Can we adjust our bid to be lower for devices that produced a higher bounce rate or even avoid remarketing to those devices?
What to ask to determine daily budget variable
How many new leads can our physical resources handle right now?
During initial tests, did we see a higher conversion rate from our remarketing efforts?
Would we prefer to focus on a new website visitors via old marketing efforts, or do we prefer reengaging old visitors? And what balance shall we strike? For example, we may choose to spend 90% of our budget on attracting new visitors and just 10% on remarketing.
Can you think of any specific visitors to your company’s website for retargeting? What would be the best targeting criteria to apply?
Advanced targeting combinations
Selected keywords- ad gets triggered only when reading relevant content on web

B2C- lower LTV’s, balance lower CPC’s with less accurate targeting
