Setting Up Your PPC Campaigns
A PPC account is structured in four main sectors: Campaigns –> Ad Groups –> Ads –> Keywords
Campaigns
First of all, you’ll need to set up a PPC campaign on Google Adwords. However, be careful with the settings and targeting
parameters on the campaign level, because one wrong setting can result in a waste of your budget or targeting the
wrong people/location.
Ad Groups & Ads
Now that the campaigns are set up, it’s time to create the different ad groups within each campaign. After hitting the
‘New Ad Group’ button, you’ll have the possibility to name the Ad Group and write the actual ad shown in the SERPs.
Keywords
Now get your segmented keywords, which should trigger your ads, from the keyword research and start adding them to
the appropriate ad groups, because having keywords that aren’t closely related will result in a low ad quality score, low
click through rates and a poor call to action overall.
