Tips to Taking the top Keep it simple. To increase your conversions, make your ad clear, and uncomplicated. Your potential customer judges your ad copy in about a half second. Make it easy to understand, and you ll get their attention for a second or two longer.

Tips to Taking the top Don t make Google Ads that include all of your products. Keep it simple and targeted to increase conversions for each of your ad group campaigns. Keep your Display URL simple - even if the landing page you direct to has a long name.

Tips to Taking the top Always include one of your main keywords in your ad copy or header. Google ranks ads based on search matches. The more your ad matches the keyword search, the higher Google will rank your ad. So, if your keyword is highly competitive, such as watches, and you don t use the word watch in your ad copy or header, your ad is likely not going to be one of the top displayed.

Tips to Taking the top The more targeted your campaign, the higher your conversions will be. The optimal number of keywords you want is anywhere from five to twenty. More than 20 keywords will make your ads expensive - and not very targeted. This is true regardless if your campaign is Broad match, Phrase match or Exact match.

Keyword Matching Options allows your ad to show for searches on similar phrases and relevant variations, including synonyms, singular and plural forms, possible misspellings, stemmings (such as floor and flooring), related searches, and other relevant variations.. Example: kittens Searches that can match: kittens, kitten photos, adopt a kitten allows your ad to show for searches that include your broad match keyword or close variations of your broad match keyword. Example: +adopt +kitten Searches that can match: adopt kitten, how to adopt a kitten, best kitten to adopt allows your ad to show only for searches that include the exact phrase, or close variations of that exact phrase, with additional words before or after. Example: "adopt a kitten" Searches that can match: adopt a kitten, adopt a kitten, how to adopt a kitten

Keyword Matching Options allows your ad to show only for searches that use that exact phrase, or close variations of that exact phrase, and no other words. Example: [adopt a kitten] Search that can match: adopt a kitten, adopt a kiten ensures that your ad doesn't show for any search that includes that term. Example: -free Searches that won't match: free kitten adoption, free kitten calendars, who wants to free the kittens
