Want to blend different campaign types?

Google Ads (formerly Google Adwords) is a complex platform, with a whole lot of different campaign types. Search (keyword bidding), display, retargeting, app and video – where do you start?

Finding the right blend of ad options is key to a successful campaign, balancing where your budget goes and staying nimble enough to change strategy if need be. As a seasoned Google Ads agency, we’re on hand to provide and implement informed recommendations, based on years of managing high-performing campaigns.

Naturally, the options we recommend need to reflect what you want from your campaign. If your goal is getting your brand out there, then display and video ads are for you. Need direct return on investment? Search and retargeting ads might be the way forward.

Unsure how to best utilise automation with Google Ads?

Google campaigns now come with a lot of smart options for key processes. Auction bidding, advert creation and even some targeting can all be done automatically using Google’s machine-learning technology. 

Used correctly, it can all be very useful, saving money and speeding up campaign optimisation. But these automated processes aren’t perfect, and still need a human touch. There are some things that algorithms just don’t understand.

That’s where we come in, making strategic human based decisions along the way. Analysing lead quality, anticipating changes in the market or correcting wrong moves by Google: just some of the ways we can help.

Want to improve A/B testing?

As we’ve said, there’s a whole load of options when it comes to targeting an individual through Google Ads, and the only way to find the best route for each advertiser is to test as much as possible. 

It could be copy, bid strategy, the time of day, device or location – little tweaks in the right places can make all the difference. And we’re methodical with these tweaks, making sure we can identify that golden variable that’s performing well.

It’s also important not to get complacent and think that once the campaigns are profitable, that’s the end of it. Users are pretty unpredictable and behaviour changes all the time, so we have to constantly test and refine, even going back to options that didn’t work before.

How do you set budgets for a Google Ads campaign?

Budgets are managed at the campaign level (another reason for having audiences precisely segmented), so you either set a daily average or a campaign total. An average gives you more flexibility, but needs closely monitoring as Google can spend up to double your average on one day if they even it out over the month. A campaign total works with an end date set when kicking the campaign off.

What’s the difference between retargeting and remarketing?

In some cases, there isn’t a difference. Google themselves use them interchangeably, but in a traditional marketing sense, retargeting is an advertising term, and remarketing something is more closely associated with email marketing.
