47. I am conscious that the 102 chosen keywords are a low
number for a Google Search Campaign and I have chosen the
most obvious ones related to THE CLIENT business. In a real
demand, I would go much deeper by using variations of
the core keywords.
NOTES
48. Even though this campaign was planned for the Irish market,
in a real demand, I would consider other secondary ones
as I have seen that about 10% of the desktop traffic came
from United Kingdom and other English-speaker
countries. I would make this decision based on conversions
from those other markets.
NOTES
49. For keywords related to the brand name I estimated a
different conversion rate of 3.9% just because based on my
own experience those brand keywords convert 3x more
than other ones.
NOTES
50. The shown estimated scenario was mostly based on the
Google Keywords Planner tool. However, I imagine that THE
CLIENT’s Google Tag has already knowledge enough
about those who convert most and it might get better
results for the chosen keywords including the ones that
seem to be “bad” based on the plan.
NOTES
51. In a real demand, I would use the presented data as well as
results from previous campaigns and e-commerce
reports from Google Analytics in order to make better data-
driven decisions.
NOTES
