too many options to stray from your site

37. Questions to ask your PPC Provider
37
• How much of my budget will go to Google AdWords Spend vs. Management Fee’s
• What type of tracking will you be putting in place? Do you do AdWords Call & Web Form Conversion
tracking?
If you don’t have web & call conversion tracking that pulls into AdWords you will be at a
MAJOR disadvantage vs. the competition.
Will you delineate PPC calls vs. Organic Calls?
• How will we track our our Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)? Will I be provided with a live
dashboard?
Key Metric - Average cost per lead generated
• Will you be setting up specific landing pages for each AdGroups or will the traffic be directed to the
home page?
If you are driving traffic to landing pages how will those pages be optimized for conversion?
• Do you split-test test ads for each Ad Group?
• Will you be leveraging all of ad extensions to make my text ads stand out in the search results?
• What are our targets in terms of Cost Per Lead & Return On Investment (ROI)?
38. What makes our campaigns better / different
38
• We split the campaign into strategic AdGroups based on our experience in the Plumbing & HVAC
business to help target your most profitable services
• We setup conversion optimized landing pages
• We setup true CONVERSION OPTIMIZATION so that your conversions (calls & web form submissions) are
tracked and associated with the campaign & keyword in AdWords…so that we can adjust the bid /
spend strategy based on the campaigns & keywords that drive the best conversions. There is a HUGE
difference between this and simple “call tracking”.
You will know exactly how many calls came via PPC vs Organic and listen to recordings of those calls
You will know which keywords within your AdWords campaign drove calls & at what cost
• This makes it possible for us to optimize based on the keywords that result in calls and stop
wasting money on terms that don’t net a result
• For each AdGroup we setup multiple text ads and rotate based on the best converting ads each
month…so our click through rates / quality scores improve over time
• We provide you with a KPI Dashboard to help track the most important metrics
• If you are a ServiceTitan User we will report against revenue generated for true ROI tracking
• Complete transparency in terms of Spend to AdWords &
