4   How AdWords works




    Before we get in to the details of your account
    here's a quick reminder of the AdWords essentials.
    AdWords is an automated auction. You write your ads and
    choose relevant keywords (a keyword is the search term –
    word or phrase – that a person searching on Google types in
    which will then trigger your ad). Then, a prospective customer
    searches and all the ads with keywords related to their search
    query are put into an auction, including yours.

    The top ads will appear to your potential customer under the
    heading ‘Sponsored Links’, on the right-hand side or above
    Google's search results. An interested customer will click on
    your ad and be directed to your website.
                                                             Your ad appears here when
                                                             potential customers search
                                                             for your business on Google




                                                     -




                                                     -




                                                                Search results

6   How AdWords works




    The most important thing to think about
    when looking at your AdWords account
    is quality.
    Google rewards relevant, quality advertising with a
    higher position on the search page and lower costs, so
    making sure your ads are high quality is really important.

So, what do we mean by quality?                All users are the same. They want to find

want to be taken directly to the product/
service page for more information.              This is the basis of how AdWords works:
                                                you create high-quality, relevant ads that
                                                are useful to those people searching for

     Account structure
     Take a fresh look at your account
     Structuring your account effectively can have a dramatic
     impact on the success of your AdWords campaigns.
     A little organisation will make it much easier to create quality
     ads. It'll also help you determine what's providing value so
     you can build on your most successful campaigns and edit
     those that aren't working as well.

Tips for creating a winning account structure
A well managed account is a successful account.
Implement our tips below to ensure your campaigns thrive.


                                                                Split each campaign into

                        will make tracking and editing
                        your campaigns much simpler.



                                                         Try to aim for at least three ad groups
            Stick to one theme per campaign.             per campaign. The number of ad groups
            We recommend you structure                   you need will vary depending on the size
            your AdWords account similar to              of your product offering and business but
            the structure of your website, i.e.          aiming for a minimum of three will ensure that
            separate your campaigns by the               each ad group is tightly themed and will help

                        Just like campaigns, each ad group should have one common theme.
                        Focus on a single product or service that you offer in each ad group. This will
                        make it simple to create focused, effective keywords and ads. For example, a
                        garden centre could have a campaign with the theme of "Seeds", an ad group
                        in that campaign might be "Flower seeds".
14   Keywords




     Keywords
     Reach the right customers
     Keywords are the roots of your ad campaign. They set the entire advertising
     process in motion. If your potential customers are searching for your product
     or service, they’ll find you more quickly if you’ve chosen the right keywords.




                                           You should think about your keywords in the same way
                                           you have structured your campaigns and ad groups.
                                           Each of your ad groups should contain tightly themed
                                           keywords. A small group of carefully targeted keywords
                                           are far better than a large group of un-targeted keywords.

                                           For example, an ad group with the theme of climbing
                                           roses should only contain keywords specifically related
                                           to climbing roses rather than a large group of keywords
                                           related to flowers or roses in general. There is no
                                           one-size fits all answer but try to aim for between 5
                                           and 50 keywords in each ad group.

                                           Theming your keyword groups in this way will help you
                                           when writing your ads and, most importantly of all, make
                                           your advertising high quality — allowing your customers
                                           to find you easily.
Keywords     15




Get to grips with the essentials
When picking your keywords you have the choice to
use different matching options. These options give
you further control over when your ads should show.
To reach the right customers we recommend that you
focus your campaigns using broad match keywords
along with negative match where needed.

Broad Match reaches the most users by showing your ad
whenever your keyword, or a relevant variation of your keyword,
is searched for. For instance if your keyword is red roses,
it will trigger your ad on searches such as red roses, red and pink
roses or roses coloured red. This is the default option for keywords.

Negative Match prevents your ad from showing when a word
or phrase you specify is searched for. If you have red roses as a
keyword and specify synthetic as a negative match your ad won't
show on search terms such as synthetic red roses. To add negative
keywords go to the “Keywords” tab. Scroll down to the negative
keyword section, click on the plus sign and add your negative
keywords in the box.

If you would like to try more advanced options then there are two
further keyword options which can be used. We only recommend
you use these if you are confident with monitoring the success of
your campaign and are able to assess keyword performance. For
more information search for “keyword matching options” in the
AdWords Help Centre.
16   Keywords




     Examples and ideas you can implement
     Lets look at a 3 step example of how you might approach creating your own keywords. In this example the
     campaign is roses and each ad group is a type of rose.


     1. Begin by listing all relevant keywords for a campaign.
     roses, climbing roses, climbing rose, fragrant climbing roses, rose plants, buy bush roses, rose bush, rose bushes,
             best roses, bush rose sale, shrub roses, luxury red bush roses, hardy climbing roses, cheap roses,
                            climbing rose varieties, rambling roses, climbing roses, spring roses

     2. Next split your keywords into your themed ad groups, with relevant ad texts.

          Ad group 1: Climbing roses                                              Ad group 2: Bush roses

         Beautiful Climbing Roses                                                 Beautiful Bush Roses

         GardenCentreSite.com/ClimbingRoses                                       GardenCentreSite.com/BushRoses

          Keywords: (1) roses, climbing roses, climbing rose,                     Keywords: (2) rose plants, buy bush roses, rose bush,
          fragrant climbing roses, (2) rose plants, hardy                         rose bushes, (4) best roses, cheap roses, bush rose
          climbing roses, climbing rose varieties, rambling                       sale, shrub roses (5) luxury red bush roses,
          roses, spring roses, (3) - delivered, - free                            (3) - delivered, - free

     Please note these examples are fictional and are intended for illustrational purposes only.


     3. Review and refine.
     Reviewing the keywords above we have identified 5 we would like to refine:
     (1) Roses may be too generic to be a good keyword.
     (2) Make sure you don’t use the same keyword in multiple ad groups within the same campaign. (Our system
         interprets this as increased competition for this keyword, resulting in a higher cost-per-click (CPC) for it).
     (3) Negative match keywords like delivered and free prevent your ad from showing for searches that contain
         those keywords. This business doesn’t offer delivery or free products so they should include these as
         negative keywords.
     (4) Keywords like best roses and cheap roses don’t give enough details about the product or products
         being offered.
     (5) Keywords like luxury red bush roses may be too specific to be effective.

    they see an ad that is very relevant to
    their search.                                Use negative keywords. Prevent your ad
                                                 from showing on a search which is not relevant
                                                 for your business. For example if you sell
                                                 lawnmowers you may not want your ad to show

     competitors' based solely on what they see in your ads.
     If your ads don't grab their attention, you could be missing
     out on valuable sales.
     To get the best results your ads should directly relate to your keywords.
     This means that when a potential customer searches for your product they
     see a very relevant ad and will visit your site.

     Once you have organised your account and have your keywords grouped
     into ad groups your ads should be easy to write.

                       Get to grips with the essentials
                       AdWords makes it really easy for you to test out your messaging and
                       see which ads work for your customers. Try testing different ads in each
                       ad group, you may be surprised at what is the most successful.
                       To test your messaging, write three or four variations of the same ad text in each
                       ad group (as shown below). These ads will all run from the same set of keywords. If you
                       have more than one ad in each ad group AdWords will rotate which of your ads is shown,
                       at no additional cost.

                       This example shows some ads that could be tested in an ad group focused on garden sheds.

                                                                  Use a strong call-to-action.
                                                                  Tell potential customers what action

                       What makes your product or
                       service offering different from
                       your competitors?

                                                       which is most relevant to each ad.

     Content network
     Reach customers on relevant websites
     Did you know that in addition to showing your AdWords ad on Google search,
     you can also show it on relevant websites that your customers visit?
     The Google content network is a large, diverse network of different kinds of sites that partner
     with Google. On this network, you can show your ad to potential customers when they're looking
     at sites related to your products or services.




     Get to grips with the essentials
     Internet users spend the majority of their time online
     browsing websites. By advertising on both search
     and the content network, you can reach your target
     audience no matter what they are doing online.
     When your campaign is opted into the content network, AdWords
     automatically targets your ads to relevant content on websites.
     This means your message is matched to the right audience at the
     right time.

     For example, if you're selling garden tools, our system may place
     your ad next to a news article that reviews the latest garden tools.
     In this case, you know that a user who is looking at this web page
     is likely to be interested in your product.

Tips for getting the most out of your
content network campaign
To get the most out of advertising on the content network
make sure that you create a tightly themed campaign that
represents your business.
This will help our system match your ad with the most relevant sites on the web.
The good news is that the tips in this booklet for creating effective ads and keywords
on search also apply to your performance on the content network. For example, follow
ad best practices like using a strong call to action in your ad and making sure you have
clear themes in your ad text that match with your keywords.

Together these basic actions allow our system to see very clearly what your product
or service is and match your ads to relevant websites.


How to review your performance
To understand what's working for your ads on content network
websites you should go to the “Networks” tab of your AdWords
account and click on “show details” beside your content placements.
Here you can review all of the websites your ads have shown on. As well as this
you can see statistics about each site that will help you assess how your ads are
performing. To learn more about measuring performance you should refer to the next
section in this booklet.

On the content network the most important statistic to look at is the clickthrough rate
(CTR). CTR is how often people click on your ad, it will give an indication of how well
each site is performing. Note that CTR on the content network will typically be lower
than for search. After your ads have been running on these websites for a period
of time you will be able to use these metrics to see which are the best performing
sites for you. You can then look at the possibility of individually managing your
cost-per-click (CPC) for the top sites and focus more budget on them. For more
information on managed placements search for "managed placements" in the
AdWords Help Centre.

     ad leads directly to user behaviour you deem valuable, such as a
     purchase, signup, page view, or lead. Conversion tracking is a free
     way to monitor and evaluate how well your ad campaigns convert
     into meaningful actions like a sale.

You write your ads and choose relevant keywords (a keyword is the search term – word or phrase – that a person searching on Google types in which will then trigger your ad). Then, a prospective customer searches and all the ads with keywords related to their search query are put into an auction, including yours. The top ads will appear to your potential customer under the heading ‘Sponsored Links’, on the right-hand side or above Google's search results. An interested customer will click on your ad and be directed to your website. Your ad appears here when potential customers search for your business on Google - - Search results

Your AdWords account is structured to Take inspiration from the structure of your help you create highly targeted advertising. website when deciding what campaigns Your account is split into campaigns and ad groups to create.

The number of ad groups We recommend you structure you need will vary depending on the size your AdWords account similar to of your product offering and business but the structure of your website, i.e. aiming for a minimum of three will ensure that separate your campaigns by the each ad group is tightly themed and will help themes or product lines your website you to write specific ads targeted to is divided into. your customers. Just like campaigns, each ad group should have one common theme. Focus on a single product or service that you offer in each ad group. This will make it simple to create focused, effective keywords and ads. For example, a garden centre could have a campaign with the theme of "Seeds", an ad group in that campaign might be "Flower seeds".
  • 16. 14 Keywords Keywords Reach the right customers Keywords are the roots of your ad campaign. They set the entire advertising process in motion. If your potential customers are searching for your product or service, they’ll find you more quickly if you’ve chosen the right keywords. You should think about your keywords in the same way you have structured your campaigns and ad groups. Each of your ad groups should contain tightly themed keywords. A small group of carefully targeted keywords are far better than a large group of un-targeted keywords. For example, an ad group with the theme of climbing roses should only contain keywords specifically related to climbing roses rather than a large group of keywords related to flowers or roses in general. There is no one-size fits all answer but try to aim for between 5 and 50 keywords in each ad group. Theming your keyword groups in this way will help you when writing your ads and, most importantly of all, make your advertising high quality — allowing your customers to find you easily.
  • 17. Keywords 15 Get to grips with the essentials When picking your keywords you have the choice to use different matching options. These options give you further control over when your ads should show. To reach the right customers we recommend that you focus your campaigns using broad match keywords along with negative match where needed. Broad Match reaches the most users by showing your ad whenever your keyword, or a relevant variation of your keyword, is searched for. For instance if your keyword is red roses, it will trigger your ad on searches such as red roses, red and pink roses or roses coloured red. This is the default option for keywords. Negative Match prevents your ad from showing when a word or phrase you specify is searched for. If you have red roses as a keyword and specify synthetic as a negative match your ad won't show on search terms such as synthetic red roses. To add negative keywords go to the “Keywords” tab. Scroll down to the negative keyword section, click on the plus sign and add your negative keywords in the box. If you would like to try more advanced options then there are two further keyword options which can be used. We only recommend you use these if you are confident with monitoring the success of your campaign and are able to assess keyword performance. For more information search for “keyword matching options” in the AdWords Help Centre.
  • 18. 16 Keywords Examples and ideas you can implement Lets look at a 3 step example of how you might approach creating your own keywords. In this example the campaign is roses and each ad group is a type of rose. 1. Begin by listing all relevant keywords for a campaign. roses, climbing roses, climbing rose, fragrant climbing roses, rose plants, buy bush roses, rose bush, rose bushes, best roses, bush rose sale, shrub roses, luxury red bush roses, hardy climbing roses, cheap roses, climbing rose varieties, rambling roses, climbing roses, spring roses 2. Next split your keywords into your themed ad groups, with relevant ad texts. Ad group 1: Climbing roses Ad group 2: Bush roses Beautiful Climbing Roses Beautiful Bush Roses Sale Now On. Large Variety Sale Now On. Large Variety of Colours and Brands. Buy Now! of Colours and Brands. Buy Now!

Review and refine. Reviewing the keywords above we have identified 5 we would like to refine: (1) Roses may be too generic to be a good keyword. (2) Make sure you don’t use the same keyword in multiple ad groups within the same campaign. (Our system interprets this as increased competition for this keyword, resulting in a higher cost-per-click (CPC) for it). (3) Negative match keywords like delivered and free prevent your ad from showing for searches that contain those keywords. This business doesn’t offer delivery or free products so they should include these as negative keywords. (4) Keywords like best roses and cheap roses don’t give enough details about the product or products being offered. (5) Keywords like luxury red bush roses may be too specific to be effective.
