4. Keywordās Click Through Rate (CTR)
27/10/2015 Copyright Dynamic Labs 2014 10
11. Keyword Relevance
27/10/2015 Copyright Dynamic Labs 2014 11
The closer your ads
triggering keyword is
to the searched phrase
the greater your
chance of success
12. Ad Text Relevance
27/10/2015 Copyright Dynamic Labs 2014 12
It is always better
to match the ad
heading and ad
copy to the
triggering keyword
13. Landing Page Relevance
27/10/2015 Copyright Dynamic Labs 2014 13
For a greater
quality score
always try to
match the page
heading <h1,h2>
to the ad title
15. So why do I need a good quality score?
ā¢ Improves your ad position
ā¢ Reduces your cost per click (CPC)
You can check your quality score by clicking on the
speech bubble next to your keyword status.

17. What is keyphrase analysis?
ā¢ Identifying the keywords your potential customers will type into
Google when searching for your products and services
ā¢ Identifying negative keywords
27/10/2015 Copyright Dynamic Labs 2014 17
18. Keyword Match types
1. Broad match: ads are displayed when the searcher types the phrase plus
synonyms and other terms that Google believes are related
(Set as default by Google)
2. Broad match + modifier: similar function to the broad match, however
with more closely related criteria. The modifier means that the word in
the keyword following the + must be present in the userās search term in
order for the keyword to trigger your ad to show
27/10/2015 Copyright Dynamic Labs 2014 18
19. Keyword Match types
3. Phrase match: ads are only displayed when the exact phrase is
contained within the user search query
4. Exact match: ads are only displayed when the exact phrase is typed
5. Negative match: ads containing negative keywords are prevented
from displaying when the word/phrase is searched
27/10/2015 Copyright Dynamic Labs 2014 19
21. Long & short tail keywords
ā¢ Short tail keyphrases will provide high
volume and impressions. However they
are more likely to provide low conversions
and CTR, since they are less targeted
ā¢ Long tail keyphrases are the opposite
providing lower volume, however should
generate more targeted traffic, provide a
higher CTR and conversions
27/10/2015 Copyright Dynamic Labs 2014 21
22. āQualifierā Examples
1. Comparison/quality: ācompare car insuranceā, this can be high volume
2. Action request: ābuy car insuranceā, relatively low volume, however shows high intent
3. Adjective: (price/product qualifiers) ācheap car insurance, womenās car insuranceā
4. Intended use: āhigh kilometre car insuranceā
5. Product type: āholiday car insuranceā
6. Product feature: āno claims bonus discount car insuranceā

8. Location: ācar insurance Melbourneā

1. Start by identifying your products and/or services
2. Think of generic words to describe them
3. Qualify those words to find more targeted keyphrases
4. Then place those keywords into the Google keyword suggestion tool to find more
keyphrases you hadnāt thought of and check traffic and competition stats (guide only)
5. Then use the keyword tool to check traffic estimates
6. Group the keywords appropriately

same in ad as the website
8. Use someone else's trademark: only permitted by the trademark owner
or under some circumstances a reseller or publisher
9. Advertise controlled products: e.g. gambling, alcohol and drugs, firearms,
are banned by each network
10. Say āclick hereā: you however can use specific calls to action, e.g. ābuy
directā

provide sufficient detail

37. Creating Landing pages that convert
Getting people to your website is only half the battle!
People landing on your page will decide within 30 seconds (or less) whether or not
they will stay on your site
People browsing online are impatient and have plenty of options
What do you want people to do?
Build your landing pages around actions
Tell people why they should do what you want them to and then show them how

38. The good, the bad (and the ugly)
BAD GOOD

Editor's Notes
So why AdWords?
Google owns the internet (show of hands)
We will be focusing on AdWords
The theories learnt apply to all paid search platforms
Google is a business
AdWords show top, right and sometimes bottom
Position depends on competition and quality score (which we will talk about later)
Results previously easy with SEO, algorithm update means harder, more time consuming, less certain
Brief overview, not covered today
Essentially itās a network of affiliate websites which display Google ads
Extension of AdWords
Using cookies to capture the attention of visitors who didnāt convert (example)
Context is everything (relevance, visual, message)
Experience, clients like you, focus on search advertising
Seen many unorganised AdWords campaigns
Wastes time
Wastes money
Wastes leads
Planning & analysis, always first step (more targeted = more conversions)
High impressions & low CTR = poor quality score (worse ranking, higher price)
Structure = specific targeting & budgeting
Greater the match, higher the quality score (golf clubs online > golf clubs Melbourne) MATCH TYPES
Greater the relevancy, higher the quality score (golf clubs online > golf clubs)
Search = Ad Heading = Ad Title = Landing page heading = high Quality Score
Clicks / Impressions = CTR (higher the better)
Position
CPC
ROI
Aim for 7 and above QS
Remove nonperforming keywords, will affect the whole account
Start with the AdWords keyword tool
(also speak about our tool)
NEED CLARIFICATION
Match types are how you chose to relate your trigger key word with the search term
Give examples
Exact match is preferred as it increases targeting & QS
May lose traffic, however only has low chance at converting anyway
If you donāt choose exact match be sure to use negative keywords.
Volume & Relevance counter each other, higher the relevance the lower the volume and vice versa.
Read ST & LT
Ask the room for examples
So how do we go form short to long tail?
Here are some ways to āqualifyā your keywords to make them more targeted.
Talk through these points. (this is the process they will use (minus the google keyword stuff) for the case study on the next slide.
Think about what people search when looking for your specific products/services
The keyword tool estimates search traffic, CPC, competition
Great for discovering keywords you may not of thought of
This can also be useful in identifying negative keywords.
The question to ask is, does your account structure allow you to effectively target your potential customers and also control spend.
Thought and analysis should go into campaign structuring
Ad Groups is how we target different search users.
Keywords are associated with Ad Groups, which trigger the ads
Read the points
Be distinctive. There is a tendency to copy everyone else ā donāt! But do see what the others are doing as it will help you to understand how to differentiate. Quirky can help, but not at the risk of damaging your brand.
Offer value. Donāt just sell
Include specific benefits. free delivery, savings or guarantees.
Show trust in the brand. reviews
Use numbers. Notice how Ā½ price, 21 years and $395 stand out.
Use superlatives. āEverythingā and āNo 1ā
Use site links. These are the links below the ads.
Include the search keywords in your ads.
Use CAPS. Capitalise first letters and use acronyms, but only where appropriate.
Space can be good. Sometimes relatively short text can have a higher impact.
Use characters (sensibly): !, ?, :, &.
Be quirky! Use distinctive words
These rules are from Google and need to be considered when creating your ads.
