The Google Marketing Challenge
Project Goal
• The purpose of this exercise is to get a first-hand experience managing a Search Marketing
campaign in Google Adwords.
• Each group will be provided with a Google Adwords account and a budget of 85€ to invest during
three weeks. All the teams will be “competing” to get traffic to the landing page: flashchatapp.com
• The primary goal is to optimize the Cost Per Click, thus the team that gets the lowest average
CPC will be the “winner”.
Getting Started
• Once you receive the user and password for your Adwords account go through the material you will
find at the Adwords Help Center before getting started.
• I strongly recommend you to use the free phone support of Google Adwords (900 800 624) where
you will be assigned a personal assistant that will guide you step by step using the tool.
• You should try both search marketing and display marketing campaigns but focus more on the first
one.
Project Kick-Off
• All the teams should activate their campaigns today at 17:00. It is very important that you set a
maximum daily budget of 4€ / day.
• At the end of each week I will share with you all a dashboard with the performance of each team and
some feedback about how to improve.
