Been there, done that

Most small businesses are not very fond of Google Adwords advertising when we first speak to them. Here are 4 common things we see from small businesses involving Google Adwords.

  • Unsuccessful

    Tried using Google Adwords in the past with no success.

  • Paying Too Much

    Already have Google Adwords, but paying too much for the management of their account.

  • Poor management

    Incorrect settings and ads on their account while trying to manage by themselves.

  • Never Tried it

    Seems overwhelming and they don't know much about it, so they've never tried it.

Tips & Tricks for Google AdWords

In our experience with Google Adwords, we've heard a highly achieved Google Adwords manager once say “I won't accept a client that has a budget. Google Adwords always works, but it doesn't always work if the client has a budget that is too small." One of the things that we have learned over the years is that this statement is true.

You have to spend money to make money. The amount of money you spend will correlate to the amount of clicks you receive.

Google has some choices that match types of your keywords. Your choices are:
Broad Match, Phrase Match or Exact Match.

I would recommend using Phrase Match to most of our clients. This means that the keywords in your quotes will have to be part of the search of your potential customer. From my experience, this has been the way our clients find success with cost effective means.

Broad match is very popular as well, but you don’t want wasted clicks. If you are paying for each click, what is the point if someone exits your page right after clicking on it? Your ads should be targeting potential customers and not random small business searches.

People are paying too much money when their clicks are being wasted. Useless clicks that don’t lead to new customers is just money out of your pocket.

For instance, “local” might be one of your keywords, and this is great, but you want to make negative keywords that could mislead the web surfer.

Your Adwords will have a landing page for your website. A poorly designed page could lead to a quick exit from your potential customer.

It is very important for your potential customer to find what they are looking for easily. The attention spans of internet users is very short. Call to action is very important and should be clearly represented in your website design.

Making your advertising similar or exact to other advertisements is one of the worst things you can do. Fortunately, Ad Extensions will give your Ad its own identity. You want your Ad to stand out, and this is how to do it.

One example would be making your Ad look larger. Having a larger space will attract more attention, and give opportunity for more information to be displayed.

As a Google Adwords customer, you will be able to talk to Google Adwords representatives. This could prove to be very helpful or could be a waste of time. The advice I have taken from Google representatives in the past has lead to failure. I am not speaking for all Google representatives, but some of them have no idea what they are talking about.

At Leadbumps we are happy to manage your Adwords at a very affordable cost. We will always be ready to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
