7 Are You There? In Front of Your Prospects? When They Research a Business Need? To Offer Them a Solution?
8 Let s Get Started!
9 How Search Engines Work Your site will be indexed if you have: Links, internal and external Content, readable keyword-laden messages Architecture, properly build website
10 Google/Tech Target Research on B2B buyers search engine activity PPC is a vital way to attract clicks and generate leads
11 SEO vs. PPC SEO PPC More Time and Effort Immediate Traffic Long Lasting Promotional Copy Can be Less Expensive over Long Haul Organic Results More Trustworthy An Advertising Expense Generates Leads via Microsites/Landing Pages
12 Lead Generation Approach SEO Prospects will engage with your website, read your story, and need to be convinced of your solutions before giving you their address or calling you for contact. PPC Prospects will be attracted by your offer for free content or information, and engage with that content by offering their address in exchange. Destination: Website Destination: Microsite/Landing Page For long-term growth; both strategies are crucial
13 PPC is a Valid Option when the Following Occurs When you need results quickly When you re in a heavy competitive environment When your website is not optimized for search engines (Need SEO) When you want to test keywords, messages, and calls-toaction When you wish to complement SEO efforts by increasing visibility if your site is not optimized for certain keywords When you need to grow sales, revenue, and market share

26 BUDGET AND ROI
27 Set Goals: What Are Your Expected Outcomes Generate increased traffic into the top of the funnel Convert more prospects into leads; quality leads Increase market share; divert leads from competitors Improve our current PPC return-on-investment Optimize our inbound marketing efforts; complement SEO and social media marketing
28 A Summary of Metrics for Lead Generation PPC The Priority KPIs Return on Investment (ROI). The ultimate goal; is the campaign giving you positive return. This is where using dashboards like marketing automation and Salesforce apps come in handy to match revenue from complex sales with PPC metrics. Conversion Rate. The number of conversions divided by the number of clicks. The metric acts as a barometer of relevancy; content/offer-landing page-call-toaction, ad relevancy, and keyword relevancy are all integral to optimizing this metric. Cost-Per-Conversion (or Lead) and Cost-Per Acquisition (Sale) The PPC ad cost divided by the number of lead conversions or sales. In the middle is CPO, or cost-per-opportunity. The Cost-per-Conversion metric is a measure of efficiency, and is driven by strategic bidding and quality score management, as well as proper conversion architecture. CPA and CPO are driven by nurturing and the sales conversion process throughout the funnel.
29 Projected ROI: Lead Generation Sites Not as easy to measure; complex sales take a while between form submission or sign-up conversion and sales resolution Options: Track conversion rate and cost-per-conversion for every day optimization from the Adwords interface, Use Google s integration with Salesforce or marketing automation platforms that include search marketing modules to measure click-toopportunity-to-sale activity via integration with CRMs. Create custom dashboards (similar to the basic ones shown in this ebook) to manage pipeline activity from click to sales
30 Salesforce for Adwords Salesforce for Google AdWords makes it possible for companies to manage and measure search engine marketing campaigns directly from within Salesforce.
31 The lead source from Google Adwords on Salesforce
32 View the Details (Keyword, Ad, URL) of the Lead
33 Follow the Lead s Funnel Activity to Close
34 Analyze and Measure Pipeline Results
35 An Example of an Interface from a Marketing Automation Platform that Tracks ROI from AdWords
36 Follow the Funnel with PPC; An Example Based on Existing Pipeline Conversion Rates Spend $5,000 on PPC, CPC is $2.00, 2,500 clicks gathered 25% conversion rate from landing page; 625 content downloads Lead nurturing occurs, sales calls occur, qualification process occurs, eventually 5% of the leads who downloaded the initial content become sales opportunities, or 32 10% opportunity-to-close conversion, or 3 sales Average net profit per sale is $5,000, or $15,000 ROI: 200%
37 Next Example: Now Work Backwards and Determine Budget Conversion Rate and Metric Scenarios Sale to Opportunity closing rate: 20% Opportunity to Sales Accepted Lead: 50% Sales Accepted Lead to Marketing Qualified Lead: 50% Marketing Qualified Lead to Inquiries: 20% Inquiries to Clicks: 5% Average Sale Value: $10,000 Estimated Cost-Per-Click: $2.00 Estimated Click-Through Rate: 2% So if I Want 5 sales from PPC, What Can I Expect from PPC?
38 Let s Calculate Based on Scenarios on Previous Slide 5 Sales 25 Opportunities 50 SALs 100 MQLs 500 Inquiries (downloads, trials, registrations) 10,000 Clicks 500,000 Impressions $20,000 Spend $50,000 in Sales 150% ROI
39 Other Costs to Consider The costs to nurture leads into sales via the funnel should ideally be included. The problem is, these costs are spread across all lead generation activities, like social media, SEO, advertising, , trade shows, etc, as they all go through the nurturing process. The cost of sales people to follow-up and engage with prospects from PPC is another factor for true ROI calculations
40 Another Scenario: Looks What Happens to ROI When We Decrease the CPC (Cost- Per-Click) Then Increase the CTR (Click- Through Rate) Then Increase the Conversion Rate NEAT!
41 If You re Not a Complex Sale. Can still track campaign ROI by product, as long as you know average sale conversion rate, average value per sale, and margin.
42 At the End of the Day Getting You Profitable Clicks is the Goal; clicks that turn into quality leads then turn into viable sales opportunities. By understanding and tweaking the variables in this ebook, your sales, and return on investment will increase. Profit is the bottom-line.
43 Now Let s OPTIMIZE GOOGLE ADWORDS
44 Contents Settings Strategy Quality Score Strategy Keyword Strategy Bidding Strategy Ad Text Strategy Landing Page and Conversion Strategy Measurement Strategy A Hodgepodge of Optimization Tactics
45 SETTINGS STRATEGY
46 Location Targeting Study your sales regions. Any underperforming or over performing? Consider a separate campaign for a target sales region that needs emphasis. Strategically give each region a unique budget based on sales goals and expected revenue. Start with a benchmark percent of revenue for budgeting, and adjust accordingly based on sales region activity
47 Advanced Location Targeting Sample Settings: Geographic target: New York City Excluded geography: New Jersey Physical Location: Target those in your defined geography Search Intent: Target those ANYWHERE who combine search query with a location term within your defined geography Do you mind reaching audiences in another state that use the term New York in their query? If so, do nothing, if not, just target Physical Location If you only want your ads to show if the search query includes a location in your geography, target using search intent If you don t want your ads to show at all in your excluded geography, do nothing (default) If you don t want your ads to show in your excluded geography, or if a user searches for a location term in your geography, choose exclude search intent
48 Ad Scheduling Another reason to have unique campaigns by sales region is to optimize time zones, especially targeting 8a-6p M-F. Google doesn t recognize time zones, so running ads starting at 8a ET means the ads run 5a PT. Additionally, if the work day is of most importance, Google allows you to increase bids by time period, or by day of week. Be careful to reduce bid percentages as well during non-key days/times so that the total budget balances out.
49 Ad Delivery For lead generation activity, two strategies are recommended: a. Optimize for conversions: Better performing ads will appear more frequently b. Rotate ads evenly; Ideal for ad copy testing, then after analysis, do option a.
50 Device Targeting Tablets and Smartphones continue to grow in penetration. If for any reason your research says your audience doesn t use these devices, or your landing pages aren t optimized for mobile, tablets, or certain operating systems, then you may deselect these options.
51 Bidding Options If Adwords automatically sets bids, there is no manual bidding for your keywords. Use automatic budget optimizing for a campaign where specific bidding is not crucial to your ROI and you just prefer exposure. Enhanced CPC. If you re tracking conversions, Google will automatically adjust bids to optimize conversion rate. Bid can increase up to 30% Conversion Optimizer. If you have enough conversion history, Google will optimize CPC based on costper-action bids. There s no ceiling on bid increases, because reaching your target CPA is the goal.
52 More on Conversion Optimizer (Cost Per Action) Adwords recommends a maximum CPA bid, but you can customize it as well Target CPA is the average you want to pay for a conversion, rather than a max. Suggestions Test CPA bidding in a separate campaign; split your budget, and analyze results comparing CPA vs CPC tactics with regard to conversions Test within ad groups, and adjust accordingly. Keep the test simple; don t make other campaign changes. Best used for high traffic/high conversion advertisers.
53 Enhanced CPC vs. Conversion Optimizer Enhanced CPC Conversion Optimizer Google automatically increases/decreases CPC based on chances of conversion Google looks at history, geography, browser settings, time of day, to predict bid Bids never exceed 30% You still manage max CPC bids Objective: receive more conversions and reduce cost-perconversion CPA bidding Google adjusts CPC based on historical data; CPC bids adjusted automatically to reach CPA goals So CPC bids are adjusted automatically Recommend testing each and evaluate results Predicted conversion calculated first, then ad rank determined by combining CPA bid, quality score, and the predicted conversion rate Objective: Improve conversions and increase ROI
54 Ad Extensions These are extra clickable options that can coincide with your text ads They usually appear with ads in top 1/2 positions of search results with good quality scores
55 Sitelink Strategy Sitelinks scans your website and gives you options to add as a site link. You can also create new extensions if the links are on microsites or not shown A click on a link will still charge your account As shown in example, link to pages that offer lead gen opportunity or validation links like case studies or testimonials
56 Call Link Strategy Show a business number on ads that appear on mobile phones; click-tocall feature This ad has call metrics and site links! Put a Google 800 number in your ad, that forwards to a business number. Ideal if your call-to-action is a phone number. Text ad should reflect action- call for directions or call sales now Google calls this Call Metrics and can be analyzed along with click data.
57 Social Extensions with Google+ Page If you have a Google+ business page, you can link it to Adwords. All the +1s you get from websites, ads, and search results will now be tallied and shown within the text ads When users +1 your digital properties and listings, your click rates will likely increase
58 QUALITY SCORE STRATEGY
59 What Is Quality Score Quality Score is a dynamic variable assigned to each keyword. By analyzing a variety of factors, the score measures how relevant your keyword is to your ad group, ad text and to a user s query. Google s mission is to ensure user experience, and that means targeting ads that closely responds to the user s query, offering high click through rates, and clicking to high quality landing pages that support the ad and query. Quality Score is ranked Ranks over 7 are considered excellent. Scores under 4 are considered poor.
60 Quality Score Factors Historical CTR of keyword Historical account performance Keyword relevance to ad text Keyword and ad relevance to the search query Relevance of ad text Landing page quality
61 Why Pay Attention to Quality Score The ad rank formula: CPC bid x Quality Score Low quality score will preclude ads from appearing in a keyword auction The lower the quality score, the higher your CPC bid will need to be to achieve a good ad rank The higher the quality score, the lower your CPC bid will be to reach an advantageous ad rank
62 What This Means If your goal is to be in the top 3 ad positions, and your quality score is low, your bid will need to be high to achieve the desired ad rank. Your CTR will be high because of ad position, but the CPC will also be high, and thus you ll receive less overall clicks for your budget If your quality score is high, your bid won t need to be as high to achieve top 3 ad positions. CTR will be high, and because of lower CPC, you ll receive more clicks for your budget
63 Improved Quality Score Impact on ROI Scenario CTR increases because ads are more relevant and ad rank is better CPC is lower because we performed tactics to increase quality score Now look at the ROI increase
64 Strategies to Improve Quality Score Keyword Ads Increase impressions to build history, so that quality score becomes more accurate Boost CTR- add negative keywords, update match options to phrase and exact, match keywords to specific ads, make phrases two words or less to over 3 (long-tail), pause irrelevant terms Ensure keywords are referenced in ad headlines and ad text Consider DKI- Dynamic keyword insertion, which puts user queries within ad headlines or within ads. Need to be careful overdoing this. Landing Pages Ad Groups Restructure so ad groups are tightly themed Ensure ad groups, ads, and keywords are very aligned and relevant to a user s query Good content with keywords that solve user s query needs Look/feel and usability that increase user experience No pop-ups; optimize loading speed
65 KEYWORD STRATEGY
66 Set the Stage Think about keywords within the buying funnel (shown earlier) Don t start with what you do; start with what your prospects need Consider competitive research; gather intelligence
67 Buying Funnel Advertising, Display, Social Media, Internal Needs Create Demand Search terms, as presented earlier, should target audiences throughout their purchase lifecycle The consideration or shopping phase is the most critical to present your case as a solution provider
68 Think Like Your Customers Review your buyer personas What are their needs and pain points? What are their solution options? What content do they need to make decisions?
69 The Long-Tail vs. The Short Query Long-Tail Short Query 3 more terms in your keyword phrase Less Competitive Specific terms easier to match with relevant ads and ad groups One or two-word phrases High traffic; but less relevant; quality score effect (low CTR) Need ample supply of negative keywords Less Traffic Harder to write ads Unless competitive issues call for it, long-tail keywords are always favored for PPC campaign success
70 Those Match Types Broad Match Phrase Match Build awareness and generate immediate clicks Learn what people are searching for, then optimize later Expect high impressions, low CTR, and high bid prices Broad includes synonyms and tense variations Bid less as a start vs. other match types More exact matches Can still learn keyword variations Exact Match Your keyword matches query exactly with no other words in query Less traffic; but most targeted; expect higher CTR
71 Modified Broad Match What It Is Examples Keyword: +accounting software Ad will show for user query: Stops Google from changing broad match keywords to synonyms or related terms Add a + to the broad match term to keep that word in the query Need accounting software programs Accounting tools for dental offices Ad won t show for user query: Financial software reviews Keyword: accounting software Ad will show for user query: Financial software programs Accounting programs for dental offices Keyword: +accounting +software Ad will show for user query: Need accounting software programs Ad won t show for user query: Financial programs for dental offices
72 Long-Tail Research Tools We use tools such as these to populate our long-tail keywords, and output the list in any order, as well as match options. Note the words in column 3 that cover the buying funnel stages as well as user intent
73 Just a Reminder Your ad groups must be aligned with the keyword groups by category. For the example we just did, these would be ad groups: Financial software solutions/tools Financial software firms/companies Accounting software solutions/firms Accounting software discount/cheap Alert: Many consultants have their own methods of ad group structure; just remember; the more relevant, the better quality score and CTR, and thus more efficient conversions
74 Negative Keywords: Include in your Campaigns or Ad Groups What It Is Negative keywords stop ads from showing when certain keywords are in user queries Eliminates unwanted traffic, which in turn increases relevancy, CTR, and quality score Conversion rates will increase as well, and cost per conversion will decrease Examples Keyword query: Certified Salesforce Consultants Negative keywords in account: software, jobs, careers, trainers, Sugar, Microsoft, platforms, cheap, discount, comparisons Ads won t show if the above terms are in user query
75 Example of a Negative Keyword Needed Widener University may have a fine accounting program, but they need the term software as a negative thus their campaign not optimized
76 Keyword Problems? Hover over the bubble in the status column on your keyword tab to check, then use the Google keyword diagnostic tool to run more tests.

81 First Step Make Lists on Your Solutions Search for Competitors; What are they saying? What content or offer are they promoting? Make a list What are your key selling points? Why would prospects buy from you? What makes you unique? Make a list Review content assets. What are prospects interested in? (Buyer persona research!).

87 BIDDING STRATEGY
88 Bidding Considerations for Lead Generation Bids can be adjusted on a keyword level or ad group level; both can work. Bidding on keywords takes more time but can be more profitable in the long run. Two of your key metrics are conversion rates and cost-per-conversion. Bidding management should be to optimize those metrics. Utilize the Google Conversion Optimizer to maximize conversions (explained earlier) Quality Score optimization. As presented previously, the higher your score, the more effective your campaign will be. For optimal ad rank, you ll be able to bid lower when a keyword has a high score Consider match options with bids. Broad matches are more competitive and will cost more; plus quality score will be adversely affected. Watch closely this scenario Competition and ad rank. How important is it to be in the top 3? Granted those positions get the highest CTR and help quality score, but will those efforts be profitable vs. side and bottom of page ad positions? Best to test tactics and bid accordingly. Test the multitude of bidding options as described earlier in Settings and in upcoming slides.
89 Determining Maximum Bid Maximum CPC is the highest you re willing to pay for a click; your actual CPCs will be lower most of the time. Ad position is based on the combination of maximum bid and quality score. Two recommendations to determine the initial bid: 1. Start small; perhaps even $1.00, then start adjusting up and down on an ongoing basis. Consider competition, CTR, conversion rates. 2. Utilize a business formula (see next slide)
90 Maximum CPC Formula: Lead Generation Determine spend for each conversion; use desired profit margin to start. Example: $2,000 per conversion Estimate monthly ad impressions based on history or keywords: Example: 50,000 impressions Estimate click through rate based on history: Example: 2% CTR Use pipeline conversion metrics in order to determine a sale-to click conversion rate. Follow below with examples: Visitor to inquiry: 10% Inquiry to MQL: 20% MQL to SAL: 75% SAL to SQL: 50% SQL to Close: 20% Multiply 50,000 by 2% (1,000), then the product by the pipeline conversions (.10 *.20 *.75 *.50 *.20). Result: 2 sales Divide sales (2) by clicks (1,000)..2% is the actual sales to click conversion rate. Multiply cost per conversion goal ($2,000) by conversion rate (.2%), $4.00 is you maximum cost per click bid. If you re not getting enough volume because your Max CPC is low, increase your Max CPC or work on quality score improvement. Keep an eye on conversion rates and adjust accordingly.
91 How Bidding, Ad Rank, and Quality Score Work Together Ad Rank Formula: Quality Score x Max CPC Actual CPC Formula: Ad Rank of advertiser below you * quality score + $.01 On the top we have the ad positioning of 4 advertisers. Then, Advertiser 3 increased the Max bid to improve ad ranking Advertiser 4 improved quality score In both scenarios, there are advertisers bidding and paying less for higher positions, because of the quality score. Bottom-line, you just have to balance bids and quality score in an effort to optimize your conversion rates and cost-per-conversions. Compare the ad positioning now, and the actual CPC
92 Bidding Tools from Google Google comes with a number of tools to help with the bidding process, besides the ones mentioned earlier.
93 Traffic Estimator By entering search terms, Your Max CPC bid, and a daily budget, we get a sense of monthly impressions, clicks, and an estimated CPC and ad position, plus costs and competitive level. For the above, you may wish to increase the Max CPC for accounting software to increase ad position. This is just a guide and always subject to change.
94 Bid Simulator; Simulate Bidding Scenarios View Ad Group simulations when adjusting Max CPC. Compare total impressions vs. Top (position 1-3) impressions. Apply bid to all keywords or the default bid Test Bid Simulator at the keyword level and affects of bid increases or decreases Caution: These numbers are NOT absolute and change daily depending on quality score, competition, and other factors. It s best to use this for ecommerce sites. Search for bid simulator on Google and you ll see a bunch of reviews, good and bad, on this tool. An increased bit doesn t necessarily mean increased profit or decrease cost-perlead/cost-per sale because of all of the factors involved.
95 First Page and Top of Page Bid Estimates These estimates for 1 st page bid and top page bid (Above organic results) are based on quality score and level of competition, and thus can dynamically change. These columns can be selected on the keyword tab
96 Other Bidding Tips Adjust bids on the Ad Scheduling section of Settings; adjust bids by day of week or time of day if, for example, you want to increase bids by a percentage during 9a-5p work day. If you focus on clicks; use manual or automatic CPC bidding. If you focus on conversions, use enhanced CPC or the conversion optimizer. Don t bid for #1 position; lower positions can be more affordable and may be more profitable. Test.
97 Let s convert LANDING PAGES & CONVERSIONS
98 Principles of Landing Page Conversion Optimization: Single Page or Microsite Destination (Preferred) Content of landing page must align with the PPC message and searcher intent Message must focus on the value of the content or demo you are offering Professional Look and Feel; Establishes Credibility Bullet-point, easy-to-read copy that explains the benefits of doing business with you Third-party testimonials build trust in your solutions Unique Landing Pages for each PPC campaign
99 Principles of Website Conversion Optimization: If You Choose to Capture Leads with Main Website Follow landing page optimization from previous side regarding your destination page Build rapport with your prospect; use language in their terms Engage audiences with your story; prove your solutions solve their business needs Compelling headlines- relevant keywords- and help Google with keyword-laden title tags Guide prospects to your call-to-action easily, and on every page when possible; the decision to contact your firm can occur at any moment during a site visit.
100 Landing Page Previews Because you can preview landing pages before clicking now, it s upmost to have readable, compelling content to attract audiences who choose to preview before making a decision to click.
101 Call-to-Action A properly executed CTA tells prospects what step they need to take to become a conversion. Some best practices: Match offers to audience needs throughout the funnel. Early stage actions lean towards white papers; later stage actions may be free consultations or trials. Don t have prospects dig for your CTAs. It s fine to include a CTA on most pages to reach those prospects whenever they re ready for a conversion action. And keep CTAs above the fold. Make CTAs stand out; bold graphics and colors, and compelling action message that aligns with the offer. Don t confuse prospects.
102 Web Forms for Lead Generation
103 Proper Web Form Architecture Simple fields; keep the number of fields short. Limit required fields to the bare essentials Gather minimal intelligence for initial lead qualification (job title, industry, purchase influence). (Can always gather more during nurturing process) Forms that are completely filled out represent buyers closer to their buying decision and should be scored as such
104 Interesting research from the 2010 Google/Tech Target B2B CIO report Using Radio Buttons make it easy for prospects to select choices
105 The Thank You Page The key page that confirms a conversion; track page via Google Analytics as well as Google conversion code Establishes a relationship; remind audiences of the value they are receiving Opportunity for additional conversion activity (subscribe to content; download more content, register for a video) Offer surveys and gather additional intelligence Promote social media links
106 Google s Website Optimizer Utilize the optimizer to test landing pages and optimize conversions Have meetings with IT or webmasters to help with the test set-up URL:
107 Other Tools we Use for Optimization
108 Track Conversions; Option 1, via Adwords Create a conversion code to embed on your thank you page Give it a Category (purchase, sign-up, lead, page view), and optionally, a value (if you have multiple conversion opportunities) Generate a Code; install.
109 Advanced Conversion Tracking A View-Through tracks banner/display ad views prior to PPC conversions, and thus gives some credit to the effect of display has on search conversions. Enabling de-duplication allows only click conversions to be counted. Disabling mean conversions are counted twice- as click conversions and view-through conversions. And you can customize the amount of time between the ad view and the conversion. 30 days is default. From Google: Reasons to enable setting Most of your online advertising activity is conducted through AdWords and you rely on AdWords Conversion Tracking to monitor CPA performance Reasons to disable setting You're trying to compare campaign information with other non- Google content campaigns that might not include search click activity and you want information about placements that are positively correlated with search ad clicks (for example, users see your display ad and then click on a search ad or you're already using another kind of tracking system (e.g. an ad server)
110 Conversion Types Google offers two types of conversion metrics 1-per-Click Many-per-click If a person performs a conversion, he is only tracked as a conversion once within 30 days after a click If you have multiple conversion tactics, a person can be tracked as conversions multiple times Example: I download a white paper and subscribe to a blog, I am counted as 1 conversion. Example- I download white papers, sign up for newsletters, purchase an item, all within 30 days, I am counted as 3 conversions Conversion (1-per-click) tracks unique people performing a conversion. Many-per-click enables you to track all of the conversion activity even if people are counted more than once
111 Track Conversions, Option 2, Integrate with GA 1. Allow Data Sharing (from Analytics settings) 2. Set-up Conversion Goals from Analytics 3. Import from GA from the Adwords interface
112 So We Can Track and Optimize Conversion Rate, and Cost-Per-Conversion 1-per-Click vs. Many-per click By campaign, ad group, ads, keywords And I can add view-through conversion metrics as well It s a good thing I can use the Conversion Optimizer and Enhanced CPC to assist in the process
113 One More Conversion Thing.. Google by default tracks conversions within 30 days of a click. The window is based on the cookie file remaining on the prospect s PC. Keep in mind, conversion tracking is not perfect- consider: Prospect deletes cookies in between click and conversion Prospect signs up for a 30-day trial, what if he purchases after 30 days? What if the prospect clicks on one PC, and converts from a tablet? Google Adwords tracks conversions based on 1 st touch. That means my initial query gets credit for a conversion, if that conversion occurs within 30 days. If I did two searches via the funnel approach as described earlier, my conversion is still based on the first click. The story is different with Google Analytics..
114 Cookies with Google Analytics Whereby Adwords tracks first click, Analytics tracks activity based on last clickan important note to keep in mind when analyzing data Google Analytics send a number of cookies to a user s computer, tracking visitor sessions, unique visitors, custom variables, and of course traffic sources and navigation. User session cookies can last up to 2 years, but traffic source cookies expire in 6 months, meaning conversion goals by visitor/traffic source can be measured 6 months after a visit (as long as cookies aren t cleared) If you re a techie, you can actually change the default with some coding, especially if your business has a long life cycle- from Google
115 Multi-Channel Funnels; Google Analytics Report This Analytics reports shows within past 30 days how all traffic sources assist and affect conversions. This attribution report attempts to give credit to PPC, social media, , and other sources before the last click visit that became a conversion
116 Dynamic Phone Number Insertion Another way to track phone call conversions is to utilize a third party call tracking firm. Simply, unique phone numbers replace your regular business phone number on your website or landing page, mapped to lead generation tactics (Google, Social Media, even keyword) Benefit. If you rely on phone calls as well as lead form conversions, you ll now be able to track both conversion methods and have a true picture of conversion metrics by media source.
117 A review of other major items to review A HODGEPODGE OF OPTIMIZATIONS
118 Segment Your Results; Find Trends; Take Action Click Type Match Type Device Type Conversion Type Time of Day Day Of Week Ad Position- Top 3 vs. Other Brand New: +1 Annotations! Were you +1 d by Google Plus circle friends or basic audiences in general? Segments can be found on campaign, ad group, ad, and keyword levels
119 How s My Daily Budget? Look at what the potential affects are if your campaigns and adgroups increase their budgets. Note what potential clicks or impressions you re not showing for If your conversion rates and cost-perconversions are strong, this is an option to test..
120 See Search Terms This button on the keyword tab shows actual terms that users clicked. It s a nice tool to see what queries accompanied your match types and their performance. Add or exclude terms accordingly, and also assign bids and URLs for those keywords you add.
121 Opportunities Google analyzes your campaigns and gives ideas to improve campaign performance. The categories for opportunities are Budget and Keyword. Useful tool for when I m looking for performance ideas and new keywords.
122 Mobile Small text ads may also appear on mobile browsers provided the landing pages are optimized for mobile. Click to call is also an option for phone lead capture. Mobile performance can all be tracked with Adwords and Analytics
123 Campaign Competitive Metrics Impression Share: Based on your settings and budget, the percentage of times your ads were shown as compared to the total impressions your ad was eligible to be shown. Exact Match IS (Impression Share): Percentage of time your ads were shown as exact matches compared to exact match keyword searches. In marketing circles, the term share of voice or share of wallet is used to define market share. Google offers metrics that also attempts to ascertain this regarding paid search share. Utilize when reviewing budget and competitive activity. Lost IS (budget): Impressions lost due to insufficient budget. Lost IS (rank): Impressions lost due to low ad rank (CPC x quality score) Again, another measure of what happens when quality score is not at good levels; you have to bid more to recapture impressions.
124 Automated Rules Automated Rules makes account changes automatically based on specific criteria; with the benefits of managing optimization time more effectively. Automation options: Bidding, Maximum bids, budgets Enable or pausing depending on criteria What variables produce the automated activity How often the automation should occur What history to look at before automation occurs Affect keywords, ads, ad groups, or campaigns
125 Automated Rule Examples Pause or enable ads or campaigns for promotional events or offers Pause low-performing ads or keywords based on selected performance metrics Adjust bids up or down based on cost per conversion, desired average position, first page position, ad scheduling Adjust campaign budgets based on conversion goals and daily click activity.
126 Alerts; Get Notified if Certain Criteria Occur You can receive alerts when certain conditions you set up occur. (i.e. failed to reach daily budget) Alerts can apply to specific keywords, multiple keywords, or campaigns.
127 PPC Management Tips Analyze best performing campaigns and look to make them even better; add keywords, test ads, test landing pages Analyze low performing campaigns and follow many of the suggestions in this ebook; review ad groups/ads/keywords for relevancy/alignment, pause terms, update match types, test bidding options.
128 Why We Need Enterprise Management PPC Tools if Your Firm Qualifies You have multiple business units and leadership teams You have a very large amount of products that you promote globally, meaning you have multiple landing page and content needs You do business in multiple countries in multiple languages. That means region-specific keywords, insights, and strategies You need the technology to upload millions of keywords, with support for the languages and currencies You need to do comprehensive testing; multivariate and a/b tests, comprehensive retargeting, and attribution analysis
129 PPC Management Platforms/Tools Besides the basic Adwords interface, these are some of the other paid programs that help manage large scale/enterprise accounts, multiple search engines, and cross-channel integration. For DIY Solutions, the Adwords Editor is a free Google tool that easily manages bulk changes and multiple account navigation
130 MEASUREMENT OVERVIEW
131 Google Analytics For Landing Pages/Microsites, purely measure conversion goals from Thank You pages For Websites, utilize micro and macro conversions Macro: The ultimate conversion that leads to an capture Micro: Activity can leads up to a potential macro conversion, such as time-on-site, pages-per-visit, bounce rates, page events, pricing page views, and other relevant metrics
132 Google Analytics Goals Goals should be set up for every conversion Thank You page, from a submit inquiry, to a content download or webinar (if a form exists) Goals should be given a value, either a dollar figure or on a scale (1-10) so that goals are measured by priority.
133 Google Analytics Event Tracking If your site has downloadable or viewable content but not web forms, you can still track these downloads or views, via Event Tracking. Again, downloads can have values to measure importance.
134 Conversion Tracking with Google Analytics With Google Analytics linked to the Adwords account, we ll be able to measure the conversion rate and per visit goal value of the majority of the Adwords elements- campaigns, ad groups, keywords, ads, landing pages, even match type and ad positioning. Remember goal values from before? The per visit goal value is a favorite measure of mine, and it combines all of the values divided by the visitor sessions. Example: Keyword: accounting software Visits: 20 Free Trial Thank you Page: 10 views, worth $10 each, or $100 total value Pricing/Plans page, 5 views, worth $5 each, or $50 total. Per Visit Goal Value for that keyword: $150/20 = $7.50 Get it? Again, this metric can be analyzed via campaign, ad group, landing page, and ad level
135 A Final Look at PPC Management in Action In this example, we tweaked each ad group, 1. Early Stage: Lowered CPC, increased landing page conversion rate 2. Mid Stage: Increased click-through rate 3. Later Stage: Increased conversion rate And by keeping pipeline conversion metrics the same for this example, ROI increases in each scenario Whatever dashboard we use to manage a campaign, by optimizing specific elements; the growth in ROI is inevitable
