25. Use Sitelinks to boost conversion on
high-volume generic terms.
Separate
‘Auto’
From
‘Home’
prospects
26. Site Location extensions to qualify
clicks.
• Great for geotargeting
keywords
outside of your
core area.
• Make sure
users see
where you are
before they
click
28. PLA strategy.
• CPCs are slightly lower on average.
• Optimize pictures
• Keep fully synced with inventory and up to
date.
• Break out PLA reporting from Paid Search
• Look for ways to manage holistically with
paid search.
32. For better conversion tracking
use JavaScript to show a
tracking number to AdWords
referrals.
Put semantic markup on the ‘real’
phone number and address.
34. Avoid G+ page confusion.
• Verification
process
creates
duplicates.
• Google
Places > G+
Local not a
smooth
transition.
Good luck getting social extensions added!
35. G+ heartache reduction strategy.
• Use a single Gmail address for your brand.
• Unify YouTube, G+, G+ Local, AdWords
under single account.
• G+ is buggy. G+ support content is often
wrong or outdated. Ask your peers. Wait.
