Google Ads is a way for businesses to promote their services and products through Google Ads search results, other search engines that have partnered with Google and YouTube, Display advertising and Google Shopping. Based on a daily budget set by the advertiser, Google Ads allows for bidding on Clicks, Impressions or YouTube views.
Every time a user clicks on one of these ads or a certain number of users has seen the ads (impressions) a certain amount is deducted from the daily budget.
We have proven this over and over with different brands across different industries. Why we exist as an agency is to ensure it does.
We help your business get prepared for it. We analyze your business and create a custom strategy that works for you. Then we set up an extremely targeted and extremely focused Google ads strategy which ensures that you’re only paying for traffic that actually converts.
The key metrics to look out for to know if your campaign is performing well are:
CTR (Click-through rate)
This is how often people click your ads when they appear. This will tell you what you’re missing out on, if you need to test a different ad copy or review the keywords you are bidding on and so on.
CPC
This is the Cost per click. Large increases or decreases in CPC can mean you may need to refine your campaign strategy or review keywords that are blowing out your budget.
CPA
Cost per acquisition tracks the action on your website as conversions, it is very important to understand how much you are spending per conversion (sales, leads, downloads) and if the ROI is positive.
ROAS (return on ad spend)
For eCommerce websites, your main metric should be ROAS. This will tell you how much return you make for every $1 of ad spend.
