Optimising Your AdWords Management Campaign

by Maxine Stirling

The nice thing about making use of a pay per click advertising service such as Google AdWords is that you have the ability to spend advertising dollars only on people who are already interested in what you have to offer. But if you don’t do a good job converting these people into quantifiable sales, then your efforts are wasted.

In order to truly run an efficient pay per click campaign, you need to optimize your operation and limit any excess waste. This will ensure that you get the biggest return on your investment. There are different schools of thought on how to do this, but most of them come back to the same starting point - keyword selection.

First and foremost, you need to pick extremely specific keywords as a way of maximizing conversion rate. Don’t pick keywords that are generic within your industry, but rather pick keywords that are extremely specific to the exact product or service that you plan to offer your customers. This will help ensure that every prospect that clicks on your link is genuinely interested in what you have to offer. Furthermore, they will know exactly what you offer before they get to your website, so there will be no surprises once they reach your site.

Next, you need to remember that probably the most critical aspect of managing a successful AdWords optimization campaign happens on the backend - that is, your end, and has absolutely nothing to do with Google or any PPC provider. Once a prospective customer gets to your website, it is important that the reason they came to your site is right in front of them. Create multiple landing pages if necessary, so that your prospects do not have to dig deep into your site to find what they are looking for. If necessary, have an objective third party or a group of testers come to your site and see if it makes sense to them.

The last strategy you may want to consider is taking a very careful look at where your prospective customers are at when it comes to making a purchase. Many consumers choose to gather information for a certain period of time before they decide to make a purchase. If you are adding words like information onto the end of your keyword phrases, you will likely get clicks from prospects that are in the information-gathering stage. When it comes time to make a purchase, they may or may not come back to your site. To truly optimize your campaign, you may want to exclusively target prospects that are ready to buy.

These are some of the simple strategies that help take your Google AdWords management campaign from average to all-star. Just remember that there are two parts to every successful pay per click campaign - your keyword ads and your website. Take a look and make sure they are both up to par.
