Instructor’s Welcome Note:
Hi. My name is Elizabeth Marsten and I want to share with you, these top five money-saving AdWords Tips. These are some methods you can go into your AdWords account right now, and apply. And see a significant difference in performance, in a positive way of course. First up, you’ve got to separate the search and display networks at the campaign level. Search means that someone typed into a search box, and hit Go. Display means that your ad is showing alongside content on a webpage, like an ad in a magazine.
Each network behaves differently, and has different definitions of success, and their quality scores are calculated differently. So, do yourself a favor, and never do this. Always separate them. It’s the number one place, I see people waste the most money, hands down. So what’s that look like? If you go into your Google AdWords account, open any campaign, open the settings tab, and here under type, click edit and you can see whether or not you have your search network only displayed, or search network with display select.
In this case, you want to separate them, so search network only. And hit Save. You’re good to go. Our next one, is to use mobile bid modifiers. By default, mobile devices inherit the bid, that you set for the ad group, unless you change it, after you save a new ad group. The setup wizard conveniently leaves this little detail out. If your site looks awful on a mobile phone, or doesn’t convert well. You want to at the very least, lessen the amount of the bid, or turn it off completely. Let me show you how to do that. To change your mobile bin modifier. Simply open a campaign. Open one of your ad groups, and click settings.
See this gray button here, that says devices? Click that. And it’ll show you computers, mobile devices with full browsers and tablets with full browsers. Go over here, to the bit adjustment column, to change that. Choose from the drop down > Decrease by, and put in 100%. What this will do, is essentially opt us out of showing ads, on mobile devices. If you wan to be on mobile, but just not to the tune of the full-fledged bid, at the ad group level, put a different number in, say like 50, for 50%, to bid half as much. In this case, we’re going to go ahead and leave it as 100.
Click Save, and there you have it, a mobile bid modifier. So, excellent. What’s the number three tip? Send visitors to a relevant landing page, not just the home page. If someone came to your site, on the keyword dog collars, then you should drop them off on a dog collar category, or product page, for goodness sake. You wouldn’t like it if you drove all the way to the store, and asked where the maple syrup was, and the store clerk just said, thanks for coming in. It’s here somewhere. Best of luck to you. Do that, and you can just watch your page search clicks get wasted, as people bounce back, to the search engine results page, in the hunt for their elusive item.
Our next tip, is to focus your spend, rather than spreading it too thin. You can’t buy, all of the keywords all of the time, you just can’t. So, let’s take a look at what that looks like, in a Google AdWords account. Go to your campaigns, and here, I’ve set up, the unfortunate situation of what it looks like, to spread your budget too thin. Taking your budget, and splitting it across multiple campaigns, say, with $5 here, $3 here, maybe $10 here, is a sure-fire recipe, for frustration and tears. Focus your budget. Spend the money where it matters.
Cut out keywords that are not working, you just have to. Alright, the last one has to be good, so, what is it? My next and final tip, is I want you to enable conversion tracking. Pease do this. Please. If you can’t track at the very least what keywords brought a sale, even if you don’t know the amount of the sale. You might as well throw your money down a well, and make a wish. The attribution method is pretty much the same. So, let’s walk through how to do that, in Google AdWords. From here, click the tools ta
