1. You have a maximum cost-per-click (max. CPC) bid of US$1 for keyword. To determine the prospective impact of
raising this bid to US$3, you could use
• Keyword Simulator
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
• CPC Simulator
• Porfolio Simulator
• Bid Simulator
Explication:
The bid simulators collect and analyze data from ad auctions on the Search Network and the Display Network while considering information
such as Quality Score, keyword traffic, and competition in the ad auction. The tools use this information to estimate how your ads might have
performed in terms of key metrics like cost, impressions, clicks, and conversion volume. Remember, the bid simulators can provide insight into
how different bids might have affected performance over the past 7 days, but they don't attempt to predict future performance. For instance,
if you believe that your ad performance might change significantly in the coming weeks, you’ll want to be careful using bid simulator data to
choose your bids.
2. Your client's product costs US$50 to produce, and it sells for US$150. She sold 10 units and spent US$700 on her
Adwords campaign. How would you calculate her return on investment (ROI) to help her understand the benefit
of using AdWords?
• [US$150 (sales price) – US$1500 (cost)]/ US$700 (AdWords spend)
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
• [US$1500 (revenue) – US$1200 (cost + AdWords spend)] / US$1200 (cost+AdWords spend)
• [US$1500 (revenue) – 10 (number of products sold)] / US$1200 (cost+AdWords spend)
• [US$1500 (revenue) / US$1200 (cost+AdWords spend)
Explication:
ROI is the ratio of your net profit to your costs. It's typically the most important measurement for an advertiser because it's based on your
specific advertising goals and shows the real effect your advertising efforts have on your business. The exact method you use to calculate ROI
depends upon the goals of your campaign. One way to define ROI is:(Revenue - Cost of goods sold) / Cost of goods sold
3. Which option can you use to capture business later on the day, even on the limited budget?
• ad automation
• ad delivery
• bid capping
• bid allocation
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
Explication:
Your ad delivery method can determine how long your budget lasts. If your budget is limited, choose a “standard” or “accelerated” ad delivery
method to determine the pace you want your ads to show throughout the day. This article outlines the two types of ad delivery methods and
when you may want to use them.
4. One factor The AdWords system use to calculate an ad's actual-per-click (CPC) is the:
• location targeting of the ad showing one position lower on the page
• maximum CPC bid of the ad showing in the #1 position on the page
• maximum CPC bid of the ad showing one position lower on the page
• cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM) of the ad showing one position lower on the page
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
Explication:
Your actual cost-per-click (actual CPC) is the final amount you're charged for a click. You're often charged less -- sometimes much less -- than
your maximum cost-per-click (max. CPC) bid, which is the most you'll typically be charged for a click. Actual CPC is often less than max. CPC
because with the AdWords auction, the most you'll pay is what's minimally required to hold your ad position and any ad formats shown with
your ad, such as sitelinks. Keep in mind that your actual CPC may exceed your max. CPC if, for example, you’ve enabled Enhanced CPC or if
you've set a bid adjustment.
5. The AdWords Application Programming Interface (API) allows developers to use applications that:
• interact directly with the AdWords server
• are accesible only through AdWords Editor
• can apear throughout the Google Search Network
• can be uploaded into the Ad gallery
Explication:
The AdWords API (application programming interface) allows developers to create and use applications that interact directly with their
account details on the AdWords server. The API can help advertisers efficiently manage large AdWords accounts and campaigns. For example,
you can compile your AdWords data to use with other systems like inventories, generate regular reports, and make campaign adjustments in
bulk. To use the AdWords API, you'll need a My Client Center (MCC) account and a Developer Token. The AdWords API is a good option for
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
advertisers who have a developer or programmer who has the technical skills. If you don't have these resources but still want an extra tool to
help manage large changes to your account, try AdWords Editor instead.
6. What information does a target cost-per-acquisition (CPA) bis strategy need in order to find the optimal cost-per-
click (CPC) bis for an ad each time it's eligible to appear?
• Test conversions
• Manual bid changes
• Historical conversion data
• Forecast data
Explication:
Using historical information about your campaign and evaluating the contextual signals present at auction-time, Target CPA bidding
automatically finds an optimal CPC bid for your ad each time it's eligible to appear. AdWords sets these bids to achieve an average CPA equal
to your target across all ad groups and campaigns using this strategy.
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS
7. You're using target search page location bidding. You know it's working because you see your ad:
• on the second page of Google search results or in second positions
• repeatedly mixed in with the organic search results
• at the bottom of the every page of search results
• on the first page of Google search results or in the top positions
Explication:
“Target search page location” is a type of flexible bid strategy that automates bidding across multiple campaigns, ad groups, and keywords to
show your ad on the top of the page or on the first page of Google search results. The “target search page location” bid strategy doesn't
guarantee placement on the first page, or ad position on the first page of search results. These estimates and the bid strategy will typically
attempt to achieve your target location, but final placement is ultimately determined by the outcome of the ad auction, which is influenced by
advertiser competition and Quality Score.

8. You are tracking conversions in a budget-constrained campaign. If you raise cost-per-click (CPC) bids within the
budget constraint, which result is most likely?
• receive fewer conversions while paying more on average per conversion
• receive more conversions while paying more on average per conversion
• receive fewer conversions while paying less on average per conversion
• receive more conversions while paying less on average per conversion
Explication:
Confusing question. Largely depends on particular product and situation. Clicks and conversions are not the same, if you get less clicks it
doesn't mean you get less conversions. For me first 2 answers are equally correct. For google its the first one.

9. An Advertiser implements target cost-per-acquisition (CPA) bidding and notices that the campaigns are recieving
fewer conversions. What could help increase the number of conversions?
• set the campaigns bidget to 30-day cycle
• specify the bid amount for each individual campaign
• try a different automated bid strategy
• increase the target CPA bid
Explication:
This is the average amount you’d like to pay for a conversion. The target CPA you set may influence the number of conversions you get. Setting
a target that is too low, for example, may cause you to forgo clicks that could result in conversions, resulting in fewer total conversions. If your
campaign has historical conversion data, AdWords will recommend a target CPA. This recommendation is calculated based on your actual CPA
performance over the last few weeks. We’ll exclude performance from the last few days to account for conversions that may take more than a
day to complete following an ad click. You can choose whether to use this recommended target CPA or to set your own.

10.Dynamic search ads would be most helpful for:
• campaigns that need to reduce exsposure on competitive keywords
• moving an ad's position dynamically in whatever direction a person's eyes are looking
• a local restaurant with a dynamically changing menu that offers fresh, new entrees every day
• websites with hundreds or thousands of products, services, or listings that change freaquently
Explication:
Dynamic Search Ads are the easiest way to find customers searching on Google for precisely what you offer. Ideal for advertisers with a well-
developed website or a large inventory, Dynamic Search Ads use your website to target your ads and can help fill in the gaps of your keywords-
based campaigns. Without DSA, even well-managed AdWords accounts with many keywords can miss relevant searches, experience delays
getting ads written for new products, or get out of sync with what's actually available on advertisers’ websites.

11.True or False: If you'd prefer to reach as many people as possible, use exact match or phrase keywords.
• true
• false
Explication:
Exact match keyword setting allows your ad to show only when someone searches for the exact phrase of your keyword or close variations of
the exact phrase of your keyword. The exact match keyword "bicycle bell" can cause your ad to show only if someone searches for "bicycle
bell" or close variations of "bicycle bell" exactly, with no other words.

12.The format of a Shopping ad is different from that of a standard text ad in that it includes:
• a product image, background color price
• a product image, title, price
• a product image, title, price, and merchant name
• a product image, title, price, and extension
Explication:
If you're a retailer, you can use Shopping campaigns to promote your online and local inventory, boost traffic to your website or local store,
and find better qualified leads. To get started, you'll send us your product data with Merchant Center and create a campaign in AdWords. Then
we'll use your campaign to create ads on Google and around the web where potential customers can see what you're selling. Shopping ad

13.An advertiser makes edits to an ad and notices that its position is then lower than that of the previous version.
What's the most likely cause?
• the edited ad is less relevant to the keywords in the ad group
• the advertiser's landing page is down for maintenance
• the edited ad has a lower conversion rate
• the advertiser's budget has been depleted
Explication:
Ad position is determined by a formula called Ad Rank that gives your ad a score based on your bid, the quality of your ads and landing page,
and the expected impact of extensions and other ad formats. So even if your competition bids more than you, you can still win a higher
position -- at a lower price -- with highly relevant keywords and ads.

each and every auction. Target CPA is available as either a standard strategy in a single campaign or as a portfolio strategy across multiple

setting up conversion tracking for a client's Search Network campaign?
• cost-per conversion data can indicate whether her profit will increase
• set a theme for each campaign and choose related keywords
• cost-per-conversion data can be compared with competitor's cost-per-cpnversion data

Explication:
Conversion tracking is a free tool that shows you what happens after a customer clicks on your ads -- whether they purchased a product,
signed up for your newsletter, called your business, or downloaded your app. When a customer completes an action that you've defined as
valuable, these customer actions are called conversions.Not all conversions are equal — some are worth more to your business than others. If
you assign values to your conversions, you'll be able to see the total value driven by your advertising across different conversions, rather than
simply the number of conversions that have happened. Conversion values help you track and optimize your campaigns' return on investment
(ROI).

36.Which statement about ad extensions isn't true?
• they can help improve cliskthrough rate
• they often appear below the organic search results
• they tend to improve an ad's visibility
• they show additional information about a business
Explication:
AdWords shows one or more extensions with your ad when it calculates that the extension (or combination of extensions) will improve your
performance, and when your Ad Rank is high enough for it to appear. Adding an extension won’t guarantee that it will show with your ad, but
you can keep track of when your extensions are appearing on the Ad extensions tab. Since AdWords requires a minimum Ad Rank (factoring in
your extensions) before showing extensions, you may need to increase your bid or your ad quality (or both) in order for your extensions to
show.

86.You’re reviewing the campaigns of a new client who wants to better promote his child daycare facility to parents
researching childcare on their mobile devices. Currently, his ads include
• generic text about childcare. To optimize his ads for mobile, you might create ad with

reading together

see when they last visited the clients website

clients business is located

up for the facility’s newsletter
Explication:
Confusing question. Many online tutorials are pointing to the first answer, but a key factor is that child daycare facilities are based on
locations. Location in this case is more important than a nice image/video.

sales?
• increase the number of keywords in each ad group

we'll use your campaign to create ads on Google and around the web where potential customers can see what you're selling. We call these
placements Shopping ads, because they're more than a text ad--they show users a photo of your product, plus a title, price, store name, and
more. These ads give users a strong sense of the product you're selling before they click the ad, which gives you more qualified leads.

94.Someone searches on “laptop computers” and clicks an ad. Which landing page would be most relevant?
• A page showing both laptops and desktops
• A computer store homepage
• A page showing laptops
• A computer store homepage
Explication:
Landing page experience is AdWords’ measure of how well your website gives people who click your ads exactly what they’re looking for--
quickly and effortlessly. Your landing page is the URL people arrive at after they click your ad, and the experience you offer affects your Ad
Rank and therefore your CPC and position in the ad auction. Your ads may show less often (or not at all) if they point to websites that offer a
poor user experience.

97. Daley is managing multiple Adwords accounts for a grocery store chain and using conversion tracking. What
might make her daily Adwords tasks simpler:
• combining the accounts for streamlined reporting
• using multiple conversion code snippets with single-account conversion tracking
• setting up automated conversion rules for both accounts
• using 1 conversion code snippet with cross-account conversion tracking
Explication:
With AdWords conversion tracking, you can see how effectively your ad clicks lead to valuable customer activity, such as website purchases,
phone calls, app downloads, newsletter sign-ups, and more. Depending on the type of conversion you’re tracking, the setup process is
different, so the first step in setting up conversion tracking is choosing a conversion source, or where your conversions come from. To use
cross-account conversions, you’ll need to have more than one AdWords account and a manager account that’s linked to those accounts.

how to:
• adjust your client’s budget
• optimize your client’s ad text
• all of the listed answers are correct
• optimize your client’s keywords
Explication:
Yes, it's a correct answer in this test. About ROI: Whether you use AdWords to increase sales, generate leads, or drive other valuable customer
activity, it's a good idea to measure your return on investment (ROI). Knowing your ROI helps you evaluate whether the money you're
spending on AdWords advertising is going to a good cause: healthy profits for your business.
Misleading question. ROI doesn't help to optimize ad Text. Not directly. Same with Keywords. "Adjust your client's budget" is more logical
answer in my opinion as it's directly concerned.

  • 4. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 1. You have a maximum cost-per-click (max. CPC) bid of US$1 for keyword. To determine the prospective impact of raising this bid to US$3, you could use • Keyword Simulator
  • 5. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS • CPC Simulator • Porfolio Simulator • Bid Simulator Explication: The bid simulators collect and analyze data from ad auctions on the Search Network and the Display Network while considering information such as Quality Score, keyword traffic, and competition in the ad auction. The tools use this information to estimate how your ads might have performed in terms of key metrics like cost, impressions, clicks, and conversion volume. Remember, the bid simulators can provide insight into how different bids might have affected performance over the past 7 days, but they don't attempt to predict future performance. For instance, if you believe that your ad performance might change significantly in the coming weeks, you’ll want to be careful using bid simulator data to choose your bids. 2. Your client's product costs US$50 to produce, and it sells for US$150. She sold 10 units and spent US$700 on her Adwords campaign. How would you calculate her return on investment (ROI) to help her understand the benefit of using AdWords? • [US$150 (sales price) – US$1500 (cost)]/ US$700 (AdWords spend)
  • 6. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS • [US$1500 (revenue) – US$1200 (cost + AdWords spend)] / US$1200 (cost+AdWords spend) • [US$1500 (revenue) – 10 (number of products sold)] / US$1200 (cost+AdWords spend) • [US$1500 (revenue) / US$1200 (cost+AdWords spend) Explication: ROI is the ratio of your net profit to your costs. It's typically the most important measurement for an advertiser because it's based on your specific advertising goals and shows the real effect your advertising efforts have on your business. The exact method you use to calculate ROI depends upon the goals of your campaign. One way to define ROI is:(Revenue - Cost of goods sold) / Cost of goods sold 3. Which option can you use to capture business later on the day, even on the limited budget? • ad automation • ad delivery • bid capping • bid allocation
  • 7. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS Explication: Your ad delivery method can determine how long your budget lasts. If your budget is limited, choose a “standard” or “accelerated” ad delivery method to determine the pace you want your ads to show throughout the day. This article outlines the two types of ad delivery methods and when you may want to use them. 4. One factor The AdWords system use to calculate an ad's actual-per-click (CPC) is the: • location targeting of the ad showing one position lower on the page • maximum CPC bid of the ad showing in the #1 position on the page • maximum CPC bid of the ad showing one position lower on the page • cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM) of the ad showing one position lower on the page
  • 8. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS Explication: Your actual cost-per-click (actual CPC) is the final amount you're charged for a click. You're often charged less -- sometimes much less -- than your maximum cost-per-click (max. CPC) bid, which is the most you'll typically be charged for a click. Actual CPC is often less than max. CPC because with the AdWords auction, the most you'll pay is what's minimally required to hold your ad position and any ad formats shown with your ad, such as sitelinks. Keep in mind that your actual CPC may exceed your max. CPC if, for example, you’ve enabled Enhanced CPC or if you've set a bid adjustment. 5. The AdWords Application Programming Interface (API) allows developers to use applications that: • interact directly with the AdWords server • are accesible only through AdWords Editor • can apear throughout the Google Search Network • can be uploaded into the Ad gallery Explication: The AdWords API (application programming interface) allows developers to create and use applications that interact directly with their account details on the AdWords server. The API can help advertisers efficiently manage large AdWords accounts and campaigns. For example, you can compile your AdWords data to use with other systems like inventories, generate regular reports, and make campaign adjustments in bulk. To use the AdWords API, you'll need a My Client Center (MCC) account and a Developer Token. The AdWords API is a good option for
  • 9. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS advertisers who have a developer or programmer who has the technical skills. If you don't have these resources but still want an extra tool to help manage large changes to your account, try AdWords Editor instead. 6. What information does a target cost-per-acquisition (CPA) bis strategy need in order to find the optimal cost-per- click (CPC) bis for an ad each time it's eligible to appear? • Test conversions • Manual bid changes • Historical conversion data • Forecast data Explication: Using historical information about your campaign and evaluating the contextual signals present at auction-time, Target CPA bidding automatically finds an optimal CPC bid for your ad each time it's eligible to appear. AdWords sets these bids to achieve an average CPA equal to your target across all ad groups and campaigns using this strategy.
  • 10. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 7. You're using target search page location bidding. You know it's working because you see your ad: • on the second page of Google search results or in second positions • repeatedly mixed in with the organic search results • at the bottom of the every page of search results • on the first page of Google search results or in the top positions Explication: “Target search page location” is a type of flexible bid strategy that automates bidding across multiple campaigns, ad groups, and keywords to show your ad on the top of the page or on the first page of Google search results. The “target search page location” bid strategy doesn't guarantee placement on the first page, or ad position on the first page of search results. These estimates and the bid strategy will typically attempt to achieve your target location, but final placement is ultimately determined by the outcome of the ad auction, which is influenced by advertiser competition and Quality Score.
  • 11. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 8. You are tracking conversions in a budget-constrained campaign. If you raise cost-per-click (CPC) bids within the budget constraint, which result is most likely? • receive fewer conversions while paying more on average per conversion • receive more conversions while paying more on average per conversion • receive fewer conversions while paying less on average per conversion • receive more conversions while paying less on average per conversion Explication: Confusing question. Largely depends on particular product and situation. Clicks and conversions are not the same, if you get less clicks it doesn't mean you get less conversions. For me first 2 answers are equally correct. For google its the first one.
  • 12. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 9. An Advertiser implements target cost-per-acquisition (CPA) bidding and notices that the campaigns are recieving fewer conversions. What could help increase the number of conversions? • set the campaigns bidget to 30-day cycle • specify the bid amount for each individual campaign • try a different automated bid strategy • increase the target CPA bid Explication: This is the average amount you’d like to pay for a conversion. The target CPA you set may influence the number of conversions you get. Setting a target that is too low, for example, may cause you to forgo clicks that could result in conversions, resulting in fewer total conversions. If your campaign has historical conversion data, AdWords will recommend a target CPA. This recommendation is calculated based on your actual CPA performance over the last few weeks. We’ll exclude performance from the last few days to account for conversions that may take more than a day to complete following an ad click. You can choose whether to use this recommended target CPA or to set your own.
  • 13. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 10.Dynamic search ads would be most helpful for: • campaigns that need to reduce exsposure on competitive keywords • moving an ad's position dynamically in whatever direction a person's eyes are looking • a local restaurant with a dynamically changing menu that offers fresh, new entrees every day • websites with hundreds or thousands of products, services, or listings that change freaquently Explication: Dynamic Search Ads are the easiest way to find customers searching on Google for precisely what you offer. Ideal for advertisers with a well- developed website or a large inventory, Dynamic Search Ads use your website to target your ads and can help fill in the gaps of your keywords- based campaigns. Without DSA, even well-managed AdWords accounts with many keywords can miss relevant searches, experience delays getting ads written for new products, or get out of sync with what's actually available on advertisers’ websites.
  • 14. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 11.True or False: If you'd prefer to reach as many people as possible, use exact match or phrase keywords. • true • false Explication: Exact match keyword setting allows your ad to show only when someone searches for the exact phrase of your keyword or close variations of the exact phrase of your keyword. The exact match keyword "bicycle bell" can cause your ad to show only if someone searches for "bicycle bell" or close variations of "bicycle bell" exactly, with no other words.
  • 15. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 12.The format of a Shopping ad is different from that of a standard text ad in that it includes: • a product image, background color price • a product image, title, price • a product image, title, price, and merchant name • a product image, title, price, and extension Explication: If you're a retailer, you can use Shopping campaigns to promote your online and local inventory, boost traffic to your website or local store, and find better qualified leads. To get started, you'll send us your product data with Merchant Center and create a campaign in AdWords. Then we'll use your campaign to create ads on Google and around the web where potential customers can see what you're selling. Shopping ad consist of product image, title, price and your business name.
  • 16. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 13.An advertiser makes edits to an ad and notices that its position is then lower than that of the previous version. What's the most likely cause? • the edited ad is less relevant to the keywords in the ad group • the advertiser's landing page is down for maintenance • the edited ad has a lower conversion rate • the advertiser's budget has been depleted Explication: Ad position is determined by a formula called Ad Rank that gives your ad a score based on your bid, the quality of your ads and landing page, and the expected impact of extensions and other ad formats. So even if your competition bids more than you, you can still win a higher position -- at a lower price -- with highly relevant keywords and ads.
  • 17. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 14.You can use target cost-per-acquisition (CPA) bidding to help: • get as many clicks as possible within you budget • generate more clicks than manual bidding would generate • get as many conversions as possible within a flexible budget range • get as many conversions as possible within your budget Explication: Target CPA is an AdWords Smart Bidding strategy that sets bids to help get as many conversions as possible at the target cost-per-acquisition (CPA) you set. It uses advanced machine learning to automatically optimize bids and offers auction-time bidding capabilities that tailor bids for each and every auction. Target CPA is available as either a standard strategy in a single campaign or as a portfolio strategy across multiple campaigns and ad groups.
  • 18. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 15.Which of these statements is true? • location extensions appear when an advertiser targets a geographic location • location extensions appear when someone who's physically near the business searches on relevant terms • location targeting determines which business address appears in an extension • location targeting enables location extensions Explication: When you use location extensions to show your business location, phone number, and a map marker Explication with your ads, you can specify a radius around your business locations to show your ads to people located near your business and set different bids for these potential customers. This can be helpful if you find that people located within a certain distance from your business are likely to become customers.
  • 19. www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS www.onlineseotrainer.com ADWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING EXAM ANSWERS 16.Based on AdWords editorial and professional requirements, which headline is most likely to generate clicks? • Custom Tees, Click Here • We sell custom t-shirts! • Free shipping on CuStOm Ts • Design Your Own T-shirt Explication: In order to provide a quality user experience, Google requires that all promotions meet high professional and editorial standards. The standard requirements for clarity, correct spelling, and use of capitalization and symbols apply to all ads.
