ADWORDS

How Does Google Adwords Work?

Google Adwords is the world’s single-largest online advertising network, reaching more than roughly 80% of global internet users. They’re some big numbers, but what does that mean for you?

Google Adwords works by you bidding on given search terms to place your ad amongst your competitors. Whenever a user types in given search term that you’ve placed a PPC bid on, the race begins! How high your ad appears on Google will depend on a couple of things;

  1. How competitive your PPC market is (determined by CPC or Cost Per Click)
  2. Your Google ads ‘Quality Score’ (determined by relevance to search terms, click-through-rate, landing page and content quality and a few other factors set by Google)

A big advantage of a long term investment in Google Adwords Management is that, given our ability to test every PPC theory and continuously improve and optimise your account, the longer your account is active, the better the results a digital agency can get. It’s a simple matter of better understanding from your campaign manager = better results on Google.

Without paid search (Google Ads), you’re heavily reliant on SEO (search engine optimisation), and a few other traffic channels. This approach can work fine for some industries, but in highly competitive industries, operating without Google Ads simply won’t do.

Ripping Remarketing Agency

Remarketing is based on the idea of visibility; the more your ad is seen, the more it is likely to be clicked!  Although most often used in eCommerce, Google remarketing is a powerful way of enabling sites to show targeted ads to users who have already visited your site.

Remarketing is a fantastic way of targeting potential customers, and provides a technique for you to close the loop on things like cart abandonment, or users visiting your site from Google or other means initially, but failing to manage to make an enquiry or purchase.

Some of the benefits of remarketing:

  • Cost effective way of improving your conversion rate
  • Increased brand recognition
  • Improves ad relevance for consumers

As of 2018, customers who see and recognise retargeted ads are 70% more likely to convert on your website.

Our Melbourne agency considers what outcomes you’re after, and by using a winning combination of the following four factors, we manage an outcome that you’ll be grinning about from our Google Adwords Management:

Search Campaigns

“The bread and butter of Google’s advertising platform”.

The process of creatively constructing persuasive text-ad copy and bidding on Google search terms that are most likely to convert users.

Google Display Network

The second arm of Google’s ad platform: as opposed to text ads, the Google Display Network (GDN) is all about the placement of display/visual ads on Google’s website partners websites, giving you an extended reach of over 2 million sites. A campaign manager can advise if Google Display Network is a good fit for your situation.

Google Shopping Management

Allows Google AdWords advertisers to visually show their products above the SERP, allowing for quick decision making. By extension these also integrate with Google Merchant center, required for “near me” searches as well as other product integrations like Google Lens.

YouTube Advertising

Creating dynamic advertisements that display during or before YouTube content. These display as full length features or 6 second (unskippable) bumper ads to build your brand’s awareness.  We pick channels that match your content audience.

It really depends…

Google Adwords is less about paying a certain amount for a given product or service, and more about just how much you are willing to invest per month in PPC.  Although different markets will vary in their minimum bid amounts, as the old axiom goes; “you get out what you put in”, and this no more true than in the world of Google Adwords marketing.

Let’s say you’ve just begun a brand new career, leaving your old job to fulfil your dream of running a small business… You’ve got a sleek new website and sorted out your product line…What’s next?

Well, first we’d get to setting up your keywords and Google budgets.

This means figuring out exactly what kind of market you want to go after…defining your Google search terms is no easy feat, as the process requires a reasonable understanding of your market and your competitors. And, seeing as it costs you money every time someone clicks on your Google ad, you want to make sure your money is going as far as it possibly can.

[PLUG] There’s no point in spending PPC money on Google ads in a hyper-competitive market when you simply don’t have the budget to compete- which is why our Google Certified team are well-placed to work well within your budget to make sure your ads are getting the visibility they deserve.

Once your Google search terms and budgets are set, we then get to analysing the data.

As more people click on your Google ads, the more data you collect on what works and what doesn’t. As your presence grows, we develop a greater idea of how to best manage your ads, the markets and search terms you can go after, to get you the best ROI possible. Basically, we figure out what converts, and put your Google Ads budget to work there!

From there, you will start to form audiences and change your bids accordingly; perhaps more people convert on your Google ads served to mobile devices? In which case you spend more to be higher in those mobile search results and convert more often. Maybe you could be going after less competitive keywords on Google for the same outcome? We respond swiftly to that too. The end goal being that we use all the data available to manage you towards the most efficient, cost effective Google PPC campaign possible and reduce your cost per sale.

So, the real you should be asking is not; ‘ How much should I invest?’, rather ‘How important are leads to you?’
