1. Standardize your campaign and ad group names
A. Use pipes || for easy text-to-columns in Excel
B. Use abbreviations like ^M for Mobile and #B for Brand
C. “z.” campaigns you won’t be using again.
2. Separate campaigns by match type and make campaign negative lists.

multiple keywords.)
2. Check CTR and conversion rate to find best mapping area.
3. Apply negative keywords to the ad groups that were mismatched.
4. Optimize bids on both keywords that will see a mix shift in volume.

55. Data Density
Tactical Tips: Rolling Up Low Volume
1. Find small exact match keywords with similar intent and group them together
using broad match modified keywords.
2. Remove segmentation you aren’t using meaningfully (like geo). Replace with
aggregated audience or geo bid modifiers.

those segments. (https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375447?hl=en)
56. 1. Top Performers: These are special keywords that should be given special
treatment. Split them into their own ad groups or even campaigns
2. Tail Keywords: Split them out as you have capacity to treat them
differently. These keywords perform differently and should be treated
appropriately, but will never be as crucial to your success as the TP
bucket.
3. Overhead: This is a waste of space, roll this up to the most similar broad
match keyword and move on.
4. Opportunity: These keywords are large enough that the right special
treatment would do them good. Figure out what that is and do it. Optimize!

But I’m getting ahead of myself, what is an account structure?

You must group campaigns based on ad scheduling, location targets, and a few other targets (search partners, language settings, display settings, etc)
It’s a good idea to group campaigns by match type so you can apply negative keyword lists to entire campaigns, ensuring your query mapping stays buttoned up.
Grouping campaigns with similar baseline KPIs ensure you can get a read on your account’s performance quickly. If things like average position vary greatly between the keywords in your campaign you won’t be able to immediately diagnose changes in a keyword’s competitive landscape.
This can be particularly troublesome when clients have visibility into those metrics.
Standardizing your campaign and ad group names may feel small, but it’s an incredible time saver.
As search marketers, we’re creative people. I like to think we have a lot of different colors we can paint with in order to give a good customer experience to our searchers.
But what happens when someone comes along mixes up all your paints ? What happens?
That’s right, you get an ugly brown color that no one likes as much. When it comes to PPC, don’t paint everything brown.
So what are we talking about? Query Mapping.
Let’s bring it to something I know well.
Intent and customer experience are both improved.
There are two criteria to consider when deciding how to map a query: ad relevance and conversion rates

We were excited about applying the last principal of data density to the entire account, started looking for opportunities.
Our question became: Can we get the benefits of segmentation with a structure that is easier to manage?

So what’s the balance? With geo customizers we were able to achieve data density as well as meaningful treatment, but that’s not always possible. If you had 20K small products, for example, you might need to have the specific ad copy and smaller ad groups.
