By understanding intent we can deliver the right message to the right person at the right time Keywords are still relevant to intent but also… § Relevant to device § Relevant to time of day § Relevant to location § Relevant to you It is always PULL!!! INTENT => SEARCH QUERY SEARCH STARTS WITH INTENT
LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH INTENT SEARCH QUERY
Micro moments https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/marketing-resources/micro-moments/micromoments-guide-pdf-download GOOGLE EXPLAINS INTENT USING “MICRO MOMENTS”
Search query, that shows intent and contains keywords Paid AdWords ad listings Organic free ad listings Local search results SEARCH ENGINE RESULT PAGE: example 1

PAID SEARCH PPC
ENTER GOOGLE: KEYWORD ADVERTISING 1. Advertisers select relevant keywords 2. Users inputs search queries, that contain those keywords 3. Google ranks ads (Ad Rank) using a proprietary ad auction 4. Winning ads appears 5. Marketer only pays when ad is clicked (or based on bidding strategy)
IT IS NOT ONLY GOOGLE 90-95% of traffic
ADWORDS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW § Account Structure § Campaign design: § Keywords § Match type § Ad Text § Ad Extensions § Bidding strategy § Ad Formats § Google Network § AdWords Auction
25 Account Structure § Should suit your business objectives § Aids ad text relevancy § No ‘best way’ to structure an account Organisation § Account: Your account is associated with a unique email address, password and billing information. § Campaigns: Each campaign in your account has its own budget and settings that determine where your ads will appear. § Ad groups: Each ad group within a campaign contains a set of similar ads and keywords that you want to trigger your ads to show. ACCOUNT STRUCTURE Account (UK) Campaign Ad Group 1 Keyword 1 Keyword 2 London Engineering engineering jobs london engineering career london
26 ACCOUNT STRUCTURE
KEYWORDS Keywords should be aligned to business goals and include: § Website terms § Products § Brand § User Journey terms § Competitor themes Testing is the best way. More on keywords research in SEO.
MATCH TYPE Match types are used for expansion and control § Broad match logic deciphers a search query’s meaning § Other types describe the words the user types and the order they appear in § Primarily broad match in our accounts to maximise relevant volume. § Around 15% of daily Google searches have never been searched before.
NEGATIVE KEYWORDS A type of keyword that prevents your ad from being triggered by a certain word or phrase. Your ads aren’t shown to anyone who is searching for that phrase. This is also known as a negative match. Example: when you add "free" as a negative keyword to your campaign or ad group, you tell AdWords not to show your ad for any searches containing the term "free". On the Display Network, your ad is less likely to appear on a site when your negative keywords match the site's content. NEGATIVE KEYWORDS = UNWANTED TRAFFIC = WASTE OF MONEY
The expanded text ad format Headline 1 30 characters Headline 2 30 characters URL Path 15/15 characters Description 80 characters IT IS LIKE A BILLBOARD! AD TEXT FORMAT
AD EXTENSIONS APP EXTENSION. Allows you to include a link to your app on Google Play and the Apple App Store. The headline of the ad will continue to link through to your website. CALL EXTENSION. Adds a phone number to your ad which is displayed across mobile, tablet and desktop devices. You can include your own phone number with your ad or use a Google forwarding number (in certain countries) for integrated call reporting. CALL-OUT EXTENSION. Shows short snippets of additional text with your ad. Ideally, call-outs should include additional features, benefits and selling points that aren’t included in the main ad text. CREATE MORE REASONS TO CLICK ON YOUR AD!
AD EXTENSIONS LOCATION EXTENSION. Adds location details to your ad, so that people can find your business location. Details come from a linked Google My Business account which includes your locations listed on Google Maps. PRICE EXTENSION. Adds individual products or services to your ads along with their price. Each item becomes clickable and sends people through to the relevant page on your website. REVIEW EXTENSION. An ad extension where the advertiser specifies a verbatim/paraphrased snippet of their product/service by a credible third party. SELLER RATINGS EXTENSION. An extension that shows overall customer satisfaction. Ratings are gathered from reputable sources and then displayed automatically. SITELINKS EXTENSION. Displays additional links with your ad. Sitelinks provide more opportunities for people to click through to your website. Two to six sitelinks can be displayed with your ad, each sitelink needs to link to a separate page on your website.
AD EXTENSIONS: SPACE = CTR Location extension Sitelinks extension Seller ratings extension Call out extension Price extension
BIDDING STRATEGIES Manual Bidding – Default bidding option where CPC bids are set manually for a particular keyword, placement, etc. Automatic Bidding – Automatic bidding allows you to put your bidding on autopilot with the goal of getting the most possible clicks within your budget. You can also set a CPC bid limit if you don’t want to exceed a particular price for each click. § Maximise Clicks § Target CPA § Target Search Page Location § Target Outranking Share § Enhanced cost per click (ECPC) § Target ROAS § Maximise Conversions
AD FORMATS ON GOOGLE TEXT AD RESPONSIVE AD. Responsive ads automatically adjust their size, appearance and format to fit available ad spaces. They can transform into text or image ads. IMAGE AD. Static or interactive graphics. Animated ads in .gif and Flash format can be used. APP PROMOTION AD. Drive app downloads and engagement with app promotion ads. In-stream video: Video ads that show online. Run standalone video ads or insert them in streaming video content. PRODUCT SHOPPING AD: Shopping ads show users a photo of your product, a title, price, store name, and more details about your product.
GOOGLE PLACEMENTS Google search (incl. Google Shopping) Google search partners (AdSense partners) Google Display Network § Over two million websites that reach over 90% of people on the Internet. § Allows to you connect with customers with a variety of ad formats across the digital universe. § Other websites, YouTube, Gmail account and mobile sites and apps. NETWORKS
Google Auction is the second price auction. Bid – true max CPC, willingness to pay Ad Position is determined by Ad Rank in the auction. AD RANK= Determined by a combination of factors, including: • Past and expected CTR • Your ad/search relevance • Landing page experience Each keyword gets a Quality Score from 1 to 10, where 1 is the lowest score and 10 is the highest. QUALITY SCORE X Max CPC is the highest £ amount an advertiser is willing to pay for one click on their ad MAX CPC IMPACT OF EXTENSIONSX The expected impact of extensions and other ad formats GOOGLE AUCTION
As an advertiser, your cost per click will always be less than or equal to your maximum bid, as it is an average of bids against a series of competitors over a period of time. Because of how Google's Adwords auction works, your actual cost per click is heavily influenced by both you and your closest competitor's ad rank, maximum bid, and quality score. WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY PAY?
ADWORDS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW § Account Structure § Campaign design: § Keywords § Match type § Ad Text § Ad Extensions § Bidding strategy § Ad Formats § Google Network § AdWords Auction

49 Search Engine: § Crawling § Indexing § Serving results (SERP) HOW DOES A SEARCH ENGINE WORK?
HOW ORGANIC SEARCH WORKS PageRank is an algorithm used by Google Search to rank websites in their search engine results, named after Larry Page.PageRank works by counting the number and quality of links to a page to determine a rough estimate of how important the website is. PageRank has established Google as the most ‘relevant’ search engine. RankBrain is Google’s name for a machine-learning artificial intelligence system that’s used to help process its search results. Personalisation. Search results are personalised to you.

Off Page SEO relates to the tactics to get people to link to you. Part of Google’s algorithm includes how many people link back to you, how often and if they have any clout or not. Linkbuilding The heart of google algorithm. Google original algorithm is like citation analysis. Not all links are created equal. OFF PAGE SEO OFF PAGE SEO = LINKBUILDING + SOCIAL SIGNALS
§ Links: Inbound and Outbound; Not reciprocal § Relevancy: links form the sites that deal with a relevant topic § Authority § Trust, authority of the domain. Proxy: Moz Domain Authority (MozBar) § Combination of Homepage and Deep links § New: new and unique domains are the most important § Links § “natural” editorial links (because of great content) § “manual” outreach link building. LINKS: 101
§ Blogs § Content that inspires viral sharing § Guest writing § Link baiting: tools, calculator, infographics, white papers, awards, competition, widgets § Syndication of different content § Get your customers to link to you § Content that inspires viral sharing § PR. Turn your mentions into backlinks. § Forum participation § Buying links LINKBUILDING TECHNIQUES

SEO + PPC WORKING TOGETHER
§ Paid search rankings and results are virtually instant, while a good organic search strategy will help a site rank higher over a longer period of time (it can take 3-6 months to make it onto the first page of Google). § By using paid search, you can also explore new keywords and vet them for inclusion in your organic strategy by seeing how they interact with your website, and the results of that interaction. § This allows you to concentrate your organic search in the most effective places, and where you stand a chance of receiving a high page rank. § Conversely, organic keywords that generate good user interactions or conversion rates, but not enough traffic, may warrant being added to your paid search campaigns. PAID + ORGANIC = THE BEST STRATEGY
NOT MECE, BRING SHORT AND LONG TERM BENEFITS
SEARCH § Text § Intent-focused § Pull § Sales SOCIAL, VIDEO, DISPLAY § Visual and story § Discovery-focused § Push § Awareness SEARCH = INTENT = PULL CONTENT

    NEGATIVE KEYWORDS A typeof keyword that prevents your ad from being triggered by a certain word or phrase. Your ads aren’t shown to anyone who is searching for that phrase. This is also known as a negative match. Example: when you add "free" as a negative keyword to your campaign or ad group, you tell AdWords not to show your ad for any searches containing the term "free". On the Display Network, your ad is less likely to appear on a site when your negative keywords match the site's content. NEGATIVE KEYWORDS = UNWANTED TRAFFIC = WASTE OF MONEY

    § Paid searchrankings and results are virtually instant, while a good organic search strategy will help a site rank higher over a longer period of time (it can take 3-6 months to make it onto the first page of Google). § By using paid search, you can also explore new keywords and vet them for inclusion in your organic strategy by seeing how they interact with your website, and the results of that interaction. § This allows you to concentrate your organic search in the most effective places, and where you stand a chance of receiving a high page rank. § Conversely, organic keywords that generate good user interactions or conversion rates, but not enough traffic, may warrant being added to your paid search campaigns.
