Keywords Keywords are the nuts and bolts of your campaign Important to regularly review to discover missed opportunities Think about where you find your keywords Ensure you are maximising keyword coverage and growth

utilising Dynamic Search Ads

Page 9: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

Brand Coverage Until 2008, Google didn’t allow advertisers to bid on

competitor brand names. Then the floodgates opened Take reasonable steps to protect your brand Does this mean bidding on your brand? For some

businesses, yes – but for others, it’s just not worth it Is anyone else bidding on your brand? Bidding on brand to control messaging Bidding on brand + product keywords

Page 10: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

10

Match Types Auditing & optimising match

types is crucial

Without control of keywords, you lose control of budget

Page 11: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

Impression Share Auditing the impressions share and average position

of your keywords is key to a successful campaign Structure is crucial to ensure maximum visibility and

understand where you’re losing out - rank or budget

Page 12: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

Impression Share Forecasting Developed a forecasting tool to show advertisers how they could improve sales by

increasing budgets

The Challenge (Insurance Company Brand) Performance was good but we suspected more gains could be made by opening

budget caps Used our tool to analyse the account. Forecasted with open caps we could achieve

11% more spend with 11% more conversions

The Results Spent 24% more and increased conversions by 25%

Metric Current Performance Performance with Open Caps (0% Imp Share Lost to Budget) Delta Change %Change

Landing Pages Think of ads as the shop window and landing pages as

inside your shop Deep link landing pages relevant to ads and keywords –

each click costs money and reputation Negatively impact Quality Score (QS) – higher CPCs Are your landing pages optimised well enough? Are you’re A/B split testing?

Page 14: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

14

Quality Score Quality Score affects Ad Rank and the amount you pay Ad Rank is a complicated secret formula, but the basis is:

Ad Rank = Bid (CPC) x Quality Score (QS)

Improve Ad Rank by increasing your bid, or improving QS

Page 15: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

15

Text Ads The first contact with your audience in a competitive space

Headline - Include keyword content Display URL - display where the click will go Description - USPS, promotions and call to action

Dynamic keyword insertion - improve CTR & relevancy Use three pieces of text ads per ad group. You don’t know

if one message will appeal to all customers Ensure you’re using mobile preferred ads

Page 16: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

16

Ad Extensions Ad extensions are a no-brainer. They make your ads more

clickable with more search real estate They help improve CTR, Ad Rank, CR and Quality Score

Page 17: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

Campaign Targeting AdWords offers a wide range of targeting options True power of targeting can be found when you dig a little deeper Targeting ads to users in certain locations, or certain devices. More control over

who sees your ads and when Get this right and the benefits are tremendous and save you money

Top AdWords Considerations - RLSARLSA for Shopping RLSA for Shopping - customise shopping ads for previous visitors Target Cart Abandoner’s, Previous Buyers, or even specific Product/Categories

Get more sophisticated with RLSA your audiences Review duration of consumer journey and segment further Tier bid modifiers to ensure visibility increased for users most likely to purchase Set up product category visitors, who didn’t add to basket and apply modifiers to

relevant product campaign Segment customer match by visitors who have/n’t converted and adjust bids Set low bid modifiers to similar audiences/all visitors to avoid missing visitors

Top AdWords Considerations – Customer Match

Google's equivalent of Facebook Custom Audiences

Uses email addresses to target ads and display across GSP and YouTube

Greater scope for personalised PPC campaigns with more possible segments

Follow customers across mobile, tablet and desktop

Page 22: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

Top AdWords Considerations – Demographics for Search

Reach customers likely to be within the demographic groups of your choice

Age ("18-24", "25-34", "35-44", "45-54", "55-64", "65 or more")Gender ("Female", "Male”)Parental status ("Parent", "Not a parent")

Customise ads and bids to people in different age groups and life stage

Combine demographic data with your targeting strategy on GDN

Page 23: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

Cross Device Attribution

40% of online shoppers start their journey on a mobile, before converting on a desktop or table. Cross device insights help advertisers measure more conversions

Page 24: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

24

Cross Device Attribution Google have been predicting mobile search queries will overtake desktop. Already

happening, during weekends and key seasonal events (Christmas or Easter Bank Holidays)

Cross-device attribution has been and will continue to be a challenge in 2016

Many marketers believe consumers don’t convert via mobile. Mobile is a key tool for consumers researching before they buy on a different device

It’s important to test to compare an aggressive mobile strategy versus a traditional strategy, where mobile sees little or no traffic

Maximising Revenue with Bid Management

Case Study 1:

For a large car buying brand we are driving 120% more traffic year on year, at a 5% cheaper cost per click, generating over 10,000 more leads! Not surprising when you consider over a 30 day period Kenshoo has made 82,500 bid changes.

Case Study 2:

For a large online retailer we are driving 45% more traffic from just 28% more spend. ROI has stayed on target ROI and same YoY despite more spend. It also dropped CPC’s on Mobile by 30% but increased traffic.

This resulted in mobile ROI on KPO campaigns being 17% better than non-KPO campaigns. The results are not surprising when you consider that over a 30 day period Kenshoo has made over 1million bid changes.

Page 36: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

36

The Value of CallsThe value of calls paid search drives can go unnoticed. This can be detrimental to a campaign performance.

Case Study:We noticed a drop off in online conversions. We identified that this was due to an increase in call centre staff, able to follow up and convert the on leads more quickly.

As they tracked these call as PPC leads we could feed this data back into our campaigns and found 20% of all paid search bookings were made via the call centre.

We focussed on driving as many leads as possible and drove 114% more bookings YoY from just 90% more spend.

Think about how your consumers want to engage with you and how they can purchase.

At the very basic level use Googles click to call but also consider tools like Response Tap or Infinity – track all you media effectiveness this way

Page 37: Future-proofing your AdWords for 2016.

37

Importance of ForecastingPaying for every click means your number one focus will always be what ROI can I expect from budget and how can I improve ROI?

Majority of budget will be spent on AdWords we always start by auditing an AdWords account to see where we can improve the bottom line
