A guide to organizing your campaign

Craft separate campaigns based on factors like region, language, goal, or brand vs. non-brand keywords. When in doubt, mirror your campaign structure to your website’s setup for a seamless connection.
Keyword Grouping in Ad Groups: Crafting Themes for Success
While there’s no one-size-fits-all campaign structure, leverage ad groups to unite ads under a common theme. Consider organizing them by product or service type and keep keywords per ad group to a minimum – ideally, one keyword per group.
Match Types: Choosing Your Battlefield
Opt for broad match for wider ad reach, but act carefully as more clicks mean more expenses. Balance the equation with modified broad, phrase, or exact match types for a narrower but more relevant audience.
Managing for Cross-Groups Negative
In some cases, you may find that your ads are actually competing with one another. This happens, but try to avoid it whenever possible. The best way to do this is to add cross-group negative keywords to the appropriate ad groups to put parameters around which ads appear for specific search terms and which ones don’t.
Creating Ads: The Art of Compelling Copy
Craft compelling ad copy with a clear and prominent call-to-action, aligning with Google’s character limits. Your ad is your voice – make it resonate.
Ad Extensions: Maximizing Impact
Get the most out of your advertising budget by incorporating relevant ad extensions. Google seamlessly adds this information to your ads at no extra cost, amplifying your ad’s impact.
Strategic Bidding: The Bid Dance
Dance strategically with your bids.Increase your bids for terms with a higher click-through rate, like branded terms and exact match terms. In the beginning, allocate less spend to a keyword if you aren’t sure what results to expect. Once you see how an ad performs, you can allocate more budget if you see fit.
A/B Testing: Unleashing Creativity
If you’re getting sufficient data on each ad, A/B testing is the secret sauce of ad success. Set up your ad groups for multiple ads, ensuring a rotation that provides ample data for each.
