7. Organic vs Paid
Difference between Google search results and ads
When people search on Google for something they want, they find two types of results:
search results and AdWords ads. Search results appear as links on search results pages
and aren't part of Google's advertising programs. AdWords ads appear under an "Ads" label
and may be placed in several locations around the free search results.
Search results: These show as links on the Google search page. You may also see
relevant results on a map that lists local business locations, contact information and driving
directions. Google's search results are independent of Google's advertising programs.
AdWords ads: These appear under the "Ads" label alongside, above or below free search
results.
Slide: 7
9. Benefits of Google Adwords
A few important things set AdWords apart from other kinds of advertising. Using AdWords,
you can:
Reach people at the precise moment that they’re searching for what you offer
Your ad is displayed to people who are already searching for the kinds of products and
services that you offer. So those people are more likely to take action.
You can choose where your ad appears - on which specific websites and in which
geographical areas (states, towns or even neighbourhoods).
The Google Display Network (GDN) alone reaches 80% of Internet users.
Control your budget
With cost-per-click (CPC) bidding, you’re charged only when someone clicks your ad, not
when your ad appears. There are a variety of bidding options that you can choose from.
You decide how much or little you want to spend monthly, and you’ll never be charged more
than that amount.
There’s no minimum spending commitment.
See exactly what's working in your ad, and build on it
View a report of how your ad is doing – see how many new customers connect to your
business from your ad, where they're coming from and other details.
Use AdWords tools to edit and improve your ad, and increase the number of potential
customers who contact your business.
Slide: 9
10. Adwords Account Structure
AdWords is organised into three layers: account, campaigns and ad groups.
Your account is associated with a unique email address, password and billing
information.
Your ad campaign has its own budget and settings that determine where your ads
appear.
Your ad group contains a set of similar ads and the words and phrases, known as
keywords, that you want to trigger your ads to show.

11. Structure Example
Let's look at how a business might set up its AdWords campaigns and ad groups. The
account belongs to a chocolate maker (yum!) who wants to advertise its products to
increase online sales.
The owners decide to organise their advertising efforts into two campaigns. One
campaign promotes their new line of chocolate bars, and the second promotes their
holiday gift boxes. They split each campaign into targeted, relevant ad groups. One of the
ad groups for the chocolate bar campaign is dedicated to the company's popular
raspberry bar. Another is dedicated to a caramel bar, and a third to a chocolate bar
infused with ginger.
Each ad group can have multiple ads within it. This helps the chocolate maker compare
performance for different ad text, for example, and see whether one version resulted in
more clicks or sales than another.
Here's what this account looks like:
Slide: 11
Account:
Chocolate Maker
Campaign 1:
Chocolate bars
Campaign 2:
Valentine's Day gift boxes
Ad groups:
Raspberry bar
Caramel bar
Ginger bar
Ad groups:
30% off gift boxes
Free delivery on gift boxes
Luxury Valentine's chocolate
12. What Makes a Text Ad
All online ads are essentially clickable messages that connect customers with a website.
Text ads, the simplest version of a clickable message, contain three components: a
headline, Display URL and a description. Let's look at the components of the sample ad
below:
Text ads in Google AdWords must meet the following length requirements:

13. The Ad Auction - Concept
The concept
Every time an AdWords ad appears, it goes through what we call the ad auction, a
process that decides which ads will appear and in which order. It's not like an art auction
where the highest bidder always wins; instead, AdWords does something a little more
interesting:
Slide: 13
14. The Ad Auction - Search
1. The search
Joe searches for "pizza delivery", stomach rumbling in the background
2. Ads are whittled down
The AdWords system finds all ads whose keywords match the phrase "pizza delivery"
closely enough.
3. Ads whittled down even more
From that set of matching ads, the system ignores any that aren't eligible, like ads that
target a different country or are disapproved.
4. Ads are ordered
The remaining ads are shown, then ordered on the page based on a formula that we call
Ad Rank – a combination of bid amount, quality, and the expected impact of extensions
and other ad formats.
5. Ads appear!
Joe sees relevant ads appear and orders the pizza of his dreams.
6. Repeat the process
Every time someone fancies a pizza and does a search, the whole auction process starts
again with potentially different results each time, depending on the competition at that
moment.
Slide: 14
15. The Ad Auction – The Impact
Why it matters
The most important thing to remember is that the auction process uses quality, bids and
the expected impact of extensions and other ad formats in order to determine your ad's
position. So, even if your competition bids higher than you, you can still win a higher
position – at a lower price – with highly relevant keywords, ads and extensions.
Also remember that the auction process is repeated for every search on Google, each
time with potentially different results depending on the competition at that moment and
which ad you use. So don't worry if your position on the page fluctuates - it's normal for it
to vary each time.
How you'll see it
In step 4 shown above, ads are ordered on the page (that's your ad position) using a
formula called Ad Rank. The main components of Ad Rank are your bids, the quality of
your ads, keywords and website, as well as the expected impact of extensions and other
ad formats. If you want to try to boost your position, you'll need to beat your competitors
with quality, bid amounts or a mixture of both.
Slide: 15
16. Keywords
How keywords trigger your ad to appear
Keywords are words or phrases that you choose that can trigger your ad to show on
search and other sites. For example, if you deliver fresh flowers, you could use "fresh
flower delivery" as one keyword in your AdWords campaign. When someone searches
Google using the phrase "fresh flower delivery" or a similar term, your ad might appear
next to Google search results. Your ad can also appear on other websites in the Google
Network that are related to fresh flower delivery.
Tip
By creating a list of keywords that are relevant to your product or service, and making
sure that they're specific rather than general (for example, "fresh flower delivery" rather
than simply "flower"), you typically can show your ad to the people who are most
interested in your product or service. This improves your ad's performance and helps
your advertising dollars go further.
Tip
Try using Keyword Planner, a free AdWords tool, to help guide your decision on which
bids and budgets to set. Keyword Planner shows you traffic estimates, like estimated
clicks, to help you get an idea of how a keyword list might perform for a given bid and
budget. Note that Keyword Planner gives you estimates for the Search Network only.

19. Understand Your Customers
Before you create your first ad campaign, take the time to build a mental profile of the
customers that you’re trying to reach. Considering your customers' preferences, habits
and traits can help you choose the right settings for your campaign. Here are some
important areas to consider about your customers' preferences and behaviour:
Words and phrases that they use to search online: If you run a furniture shop, think about the
keywords that your potential customers might use to search for furniture. Would they use general
search terms like “furniture” or “furniture shop”? It's more likely that a customer would use more
specific terms based on what they’re looking for, such as “buy sofa” or “dining room chairs”. These
words and phrases can help you determine the keywords to trigger your ads to display in search
results.
Geographical location: Think about where your potential customers are. If you only offer furniture
delivery to customers in your city, then you should limit your campaign’s location targeting to your city
so only potential customers in your city will see your ad. This helps to ensure that you only pay for
clicks on your ads from people who live in your delivery area and can purchase your furniture.
How they contact you: Consider how you want your customers to get in touch with you. If you want
them to come to your shop in person, you can highlight location information in your ads. Or maybe
you’d like them to call you or fill in a contact form online. You can add these and other options to your
ad with ad extensions.

20. Advert Placements
Placements: Advertising on non-search websites
Keywords can trigger your ads to appear next to search results on Google and other
search sites. But keywords can also trigger your ads to show on other sites across the
Internet - Google-owned properties like YouTube and Google's partner sites like
NYTimes.com or Families.com, for example. We call these "placements. " A placement
can consist of an entire website or just part of a site. And these websites are all part of
what we call the Display Network.
Google can automatically determine where your ads appear by matching your keywords
to websites in the Display Network. Or, if you'd like greater control over where your ads
appear, you can pick specific placements yourself. You can set bids for each and choose
the sites where your ads might appear.
Slide: 20
21. Ad Rank
Ad Rank: How Google determines which ads appear in which positions
Now let's suppose that multiple advertisers use the same keyword to trigger their ads or
want their ads to appear on the same websites. How does Google determine whose ads
will appear and in which order? It's done automatically, based on what we call Ad Rank.
Your Ad Rank is based on a combination of your bid (how much you're willing to spend)
and your Quality Score (a measurement of the quality of your ads, keywords and
website). Depending on where your ad shows and the type of targeting that you use, the
formula for Ad Rank can vary a bit, but it always incorporates bid and Quality Score.
The important thing to know about Ad Rank is that the quality and relevance of your
keywords, landing pages and your ad are every bit as important to your ad's rank as the
amount that you're willing to spend.
Slide: 21
22. Bidding + QS
A bit about bidding and Quality Score
Your bid and Quality Score can work slightly differently across different campaigns types.
Here are a couple of examples to help illustrate.
With a keyword-targeted ad on Google and its search partners, your bid would be your
maximum cost-per-click bid - the maximum amount that you're willing to pay for each click
on your ad. Your Quality Score is based on the relevance of your keywords, the quality of
your landing page, your ad's click-through rate (CTR), adjusted for its position on the page,
and a few other factors.
In the case of a placement-targeted ad on the Google Display Network using Cost-per-
thousand impressions (CPM) bidding, your Quality Score is simply based on the quality of
your landing page.
At the end of the day, what you pay
You'll always pay the lowest amount possible for the best position you can get given your
Quality Score and bid. To find this amount, Google looks at the Ad Rank of the ad showing
in the next position (for example, for ads appearing on a Google search page, this would be
the position just beneath your ad), and only charges you the lowest bid amount that would
have beaten that ad's Ad Rank, rounding up to the nearest penny. So regardless of your bid
amount, you'll only pay the minimum that's needed to beat the advertiser below you.

23. Vocabulary
Search phrases: Words or phrases that people use when searching online. The essence of
the information, products or services they want to find.
Also referred to as: search terms and search queries
Campaigns: Your plan to get your ads to the people who are most likely to want your
offerings. Campaigns combine the following elements to help your ads show to the right
people at the right time:
Keywords: Search phrases you think your customers may use when searching for
something related to your offerings.
Ads: Your unique messages about your goods, products or services. It can be text, image or
video so long as you describe your offering, include the key selling points, and tell customers
how to respond.
Targeting methods: Conditions for when to show your ads such as location, language and so
much more.
Organic vs ads: Google splits search results into two types of lists:
Organic: List of websites that match someone’s search phrase. No one can pay to have their
website show up in these results.
Ads: List of ads that match someone’s search phrase. Advertisers can pay to have their ads
show based on the keywords and targeting methods they’ve chosen and the ads they’ve
created.
Ads are also referred to as: paid results, or sponsored results
Slide: 23
24. Vocabulary…
Impressions: Number of appearances your ad makes on a website, mobile app or
anywhere else that the ad happens to show. It’s a unit of measurement, similar to how TV
advertising has number of viewing TV sets and magazine advertising has numbers of copies
sold.
Also referred to as: ad impressions
Avg. CPC or average cost per click: The average price you pay each time someone clicks
on your ad. Avg. CPC is useful when you want to compare the performance of different
keywords, campaigns, ads, etc.
Also referred to as: pay-per-click
Landing pages: A web page where you send customers after they've clicked on your ads. It
should include the same details, selling points and promotional information as your ads.
Slide: 24

Cost
Clicks
25. Your Goals
What to track based on your advertising goals
Google AdWords is all about results. From the first time that you create an ad, it's important
to know what you want to gain from your campaign and how you're going to measure your
success. Want to increase traffic to your website? Or increase sales, conversions or ROI?
Raise brand awareness? Like snowflakes, no two advertising campaigns are exactly alike,
but many do share similar goals.
Slide: 25
26. Increase Website Traffic
Campaigns that are focused on increasing traffic might be created by an organisation that wants to
promote a new fundraising drive, or a business that would like to increase sales of a new product.
Focus on: clicks, click-through rate, keyword performance, search terms Increase clicks and CTR
If you want to use AdWords to increase traffic to your site, try to focus on increasing your clicks and click-
through rate (CTR). You can achieve this by creating great ad text, organising your ad groups by common
theme, product or goal, and creating smaller lists (20-30 terms long, for example) of tightly themed
keywords to ensure that your ads are highly relevant and very compelling to your customers. Then it's
important to monitor your performance closely.
Maintain a good keyword list
You'll also want to keep an eye on the performance of your keywords, and remove and replace those that
aren't working for you. As a general rule of thumb, a CTR of 1% or higher and a Quality Score of 5 and
above indicates keywords that are performing well. However, this can vary between accounts, so it is up
to you to decide whether or not the keyword is creating high-quality traffic.
Review your search terms
Search terms are another important thing to consider. AdWords lets you see a list of customer searches
that have triggered your ad, and then add them as new keywords. Or, if you notice search terms that are
irrelevant to your business, you can add them as negative keywords. The search terms report can help
you distinguish between general traffic to your ads, and truly relevant traffic (in other words, the type of
people that you'd like to turn into customers).
Slide: 26
27. Increase Sales & Conversions
Campaigns that are focused on increasing sales and conversions might be created by a company that
wants to sell a lot of a particular product, or a non-profit organisation that wants to encourage visitors to
sign a petition for an important cause.
Focus on: conversion data, destination URLs Increase conversions
An AdWords conversion occurs when someone clicks your ad and takes an action on your website that
you think is valuable, whether it's a purchase, a newsletter sign-up or a request to receive more
information about your organisation. The most important step that you can take to increase your sales and
other conversions is - you guessed it - to start paying close attention to your conversion data and updating
your campaigns based on what you find out.
For example, after tracking your conversions, you might notice that a certain keyword leads to many
conversions, while another one doesn't. You could choose to spend more of your budget on the keyword
that produces more conversions.
Choose relevant destination URLs
In addition to keeping track of conversions, you should also make sure that the destination URL that you
use for each ad directs customers to the most relevant page within your website. Ideally, that web page
will be dedicated to the specific product or service that's highlighted in your ad.
Slide: 27
28. Increase Brand Awareness
Campaigns that are focused on brand awareness might be created by a car company that wants to create
buzz for a new model, or a film company that wants to promote a new film by offering visitors a sneak-
peek.
Focus on: impressions, customer engagement, reach and frequency Increase impressions
If your advertising goal is branding, your main reason for advertising online is to raise awareness and
visibility of your product, service or cause. Your goals might include increasing traffic to your website, and
encouraging customers to interact with or learn more about your brand. To achieve this, you'll want to
drive impressions to try to show your ads to as many people as possible within your target audience.
Drive customer engagement
While impressions represent how many customers laid eyes on your ad, customer engagement
represents how interesting your customers find your ads. Do they actually click on the ad or view a video?
That means that they're engaged. You can use CTR for Search Network campaigns, and conversions for
the Display Network campaigns to measure engagement. Use reach and frequency numbers to learn how
many people are exposed to your ad, and how often they see it.
Slide: 28
29. Increase ROI
You can use an ROI calculation to compare two advertising campaigns against each other to see how
much money you've made from each one. For example, a ceramics manufacturer might be able to
determine that a less expensive blue vase that sells more briskly in one campaign is actually generating
more profits than a more expensive green vase in a different campaign.
Focus on: conversions ROI is the ratio of your costs to your profits. It's typically the most important
measurement for advertisers because it's based on your specific advertising goals and shows the financial
impact that your advertising efforts have on your business. To improve your ROI, you first need to start
measuring conversions. Once you've accomplished that, you can evaluate your ROI to make sure that the
pounds that you spend on advertising are turning into profits for your business.
Slide: 29
30. How Costs are Calculated
AdWords gives you control over your advertising costs.
There's no minimum amount that you have to spend. Instead, you set an average daily
budget and choose how you'll spend your money.
Choosing a bidding strategy based on your goals
Every time that someone searches on Google, AdWords runs an auction to determine the
ads that show on the search results page, and their rank on the page. To place your ads in
this auction, you first have to choose how you'd like to bid. Try choosing a bidding strategy
based on your goals, like whether you want to focus on getting clicks, impressions or
conversions.
Focus on clicks on your ads.
This is known as a cost-per-click, or CPC bid. We recommend the CPC bidding method if
you want to drive traffic to your website.
Focus on impressions, or the number of times that your ad shows.
This is known as a cost-per-impressions, or CPM bid. We recommend the CPM bidding
method if you want to increase awareness of your brand. Note that CPM bidding is available
for Display Network campaigns only.
Focus on conversions, or when people take a specific action on your website after clicking one of
your ads. This is known as a cost-per-acquisition, or CPA bid. We recommend the CPA bidding method
for seasoned AdWords advertisers who are interested in conversions, like purchases or signups.
Slide: 30
31. Daily Budget
Your daily budget is the amount that you're willing to spend each day, on average, for each
ad campaign in your account. The size of your budget is entirely up to you and you can edit
this amount whenever you like.
Recall that when you set your max CPC bid, the amount that you're charged for a click on
your ad in a given auction could be less than your max. This means that the amount that you
pay for a click on your ad – your actual CPC – will likely vary from auction to auction. Even
though your actual CPCs may vary, your daily budget puts a limit on how much you can
accrue in click costs from day to day.
Google may allow up to 20% more clicks in a day than what your daily budget specifies. We
call this overdelivery. Overdelivery can help make up for days when traffic is slow and your
ads don't get as much exposure. However, in a given billing period, you're never charged
more than the average number of days in a month (30.4) times your daily budget.
Example
If the budget for your ad campaign remains at $10 per day throughout an entire month, the
maximum amount that you would be charged for that campaign for that month is $304 ($10 x
30.4 average days per month). Recall that because of overdelivery, your daily cost might be
more or less than your $10 daily budget on days when traffic is higher or slow.
Slide: 31
32. Fine Tune Your Bids
If you use the cost-per-click bidding strategy, you set a maximum CPC bid for your ads. You
can always lower your bid amount, but if you do, it might cause your ads to show up in a
lower position on the first page of search results, to move from the top to the side or bottom
position, or to be removed from the first page search results. In general, a higher maximum
CPC bid can allow your ad to show at a higher position on the page.
Tip
Put your bidding on autopilot with automatic bidding. Set a daily budget, and AdWords will
help adjust your CPC bids to receive the most possible clicks within your budget.
Slide: 32
33. Quality Score
Google uses a measurement called Quality Score as an estimate of how relevant your ads,
keywords and landing page are to a person seeing your ad. Higher Quality Scores typically
lead to lower costs and better ad positions.
How can you improve your Quality Score? Make sure that you choose high-quality keywords
and create relevant ads. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
Choose keywords that are terms or phrases that your customers would use to describe your
products or services. High-quality, relevant keywords can help you reach the customer you
want, when you want.
Create ads that are relevant to your keywords and what you're advertising. Relevant ads
tend to earn more clicks, appear in a higher position and bring you the most success.
Example
Let's say your maximum CPC bid is $2. Meanwhile, your competitor has a maximum CPC
bid of $3 but the quality of his ads are below average. Because of the higher quality of your
ads, your ad could actually show in a higher spot on the page, even though your bid is lower.
Slide: 33
34. Payment History
Your AdWords account's Billing Summary page provides easy access to your billing
information. View daily advertising costs, payment details and much more.
Slide: 34
35. Ad Position
Ad position is the order in which your ad shows up on a page. For example, an ad position
of "1" means that your ad is the first ad on a page. In general, it's good to have a high ad
position because it's likely that more customers will see your ad. Ads can appear on the top
of a search results page, on the side of the page or on the bottom of the page.
Ad position is determined by your Ad Rank in the auction. Your Ad Rank is a score that's
based on your bid and your Quality Score. If you're using the cost-per-click bidding option,
your bid is how much you're willing to pay for a single click on your ad. Your Quality Score is
a measurement of how relevant and useful your keyword, ad text and landing page are to
what a user is searching for. Note that if you’re using extensions such as sitelinks, the
expected impact from those extensions is factored into your Ad Rank. This means that if
two competing ads have the same bid and quality, the ad with the better expected impact
from extensions will generally appear in a higher position than the other.
To improve your ad position, you can increase your bid, or you can focus on improving your
Quality Score.
Keep in Mind:
Because of the diversity of websites on the Google Display Network, average position may
be less useful in optimising for performance on this network. If you want to measure
performance on the Display Network, we recommend focusing on metrics such as
conversions and ROI.
Slide: 35
36. How Ads Cycle through SERPs
Ads cycle through the search result pages based on their Ad Rank. The ad with the highest
Ad Rank appears in the first eligible position on the search results page. The ad with the
second-highest Ad Rank appears beneath it, and so on down the page.
When a customer browses to subsequent search result pages (for example, they click Next
to see additional pages of search results), the following two rules typically apply for which
ads are eligible to show where:
"Top" placement (top of the page): All high-ranking ads are eligible to show in the top positions,
provided that they exceed a certain Quality Score and cost-per-click (CPC) bid threshold. Up to three ads
can be displayed in the top positions on each page.
"Other" placement (side or bottom of the page): The side and bottom of a search results page is
recorded as "Other" in your AdWords statistics, and can show up to eight ads. Typically, ads that haven't
previously appeared in the side or bottom placements are eligible to appear in the side or bottom. For
example, if an ad appeared on the side of Page 1, it typically won't appear on the side for Page 2 or later.
Because Quality Score and thresholds are recalculated on every page, ads may sometimes appear in a
top spot on one page and then again in an "Other" spot on a subsequent page (or appear in the "Other"
spot on one page, and then again in a top spot on the next page). An ad typically will only be shown once
in an "Other" spot and will not appear again in that spot on subsequent pages.
Slide: 36
37. Relevance
The concept
Google search is like a matchmaker – it matches people with the web pages that they're
looking for, both through search results and through ads. That's why Google encourages you
to make your ads, keywords and website as useful to a searcher as possible. We call this
relevance: how well your campaign meets a searcher's description of what they're looking
for. For example, let’s say that someone searches for “digital cameras,” one of your
keywords. Your ad would be more relevant if your landing page features digital cameras.
Why it matters
To encourage you to create relevant ad campaigns that accurately represent your products
or services, the AdWords pricing system is partly based on relevance. A highly relevant ad,
keyword list and landing page are generally rewarded with a higher position on the page
for potentially less money.
People are more likely to click an ad if it's about the exact thing that they're looking for, and
are more likely to become your customers if they can easily find information about it on your
website. So people find what they want, and you gain potential customers. Everyone wins!
How it's used
Relevance is part of your Quality Score, which is an estimate that Google uses to measure
how relevant your ad, keyword and website are to a customer. Relevant ads tend to get
higher Quality Scores, which can help your ad show more prominently and attract more
customers.

38. The Main Tabs in Google Adwords
Home: This contains your Account Snapshot page, which is an easy-to-read summary
of important account information.
Campaigns: Here's where you'll spend most of your time when you're managing your
AdWords account. You can create and edit campaigns, ads, keywords and campaign
settings. In the performance summary graphs at the top of the page, you'll see an
overview of how your campaigns are performing. You can also download the tables
containing your performance metrics as reports.
Opportunities: Find new keywords, improve your bids and budgets and more. The
Opportunities tab can help you get more out of AdWords — it's an entire section
dedicated to helping you improve your campaigns.
Tools: Find account tools that will help you manage and improve your account. Use
advanced reporting tools to locate potential issues and fix them before they become
actual issues.
Slide: 38
39. Campaign Settings
Campaign name: This is where you enter a name for your campaign. Although AdWords enters a
default campaign name for you, you should choose a name that clearly describes the theme of the
campaign so that you can easily find it in your account. Your campaign name isn't visible to your
customers.
Type: The campaign type determines which settings we'll show you as you create or edit your
campaign. The type that you choose tailors the campaign setup to just what's appropriate for your
goals, eliminating unrelated features. We recommend new advertisers start with a "Search Network
with Display Select" campaign type, which offers a wide variety of potential placements for your ads.
You’ll also choose a campaign sub-type, such as “Standard” or “All features”. The sub-type determines
which settings and options are available so you can focus on the features most relevant to your
business goals. If you prefer a simpler overview of your campaign and feature options, consider using
the “Standard” campaign subtype; use “All features” if you want to see everything about your
campaign and feature options.
Networks: The Networks setting indicates where you want your ad to appear based upon the
campaign type you chose. For example, with the Google Search Network, your ad can appear on
Google search sites and non-Google search sites (like AOL) that partner with Google to show search
ads, called search partners. With the Google Display Network, your ad shows on other sites that
partner with Google to show ads. To change your Networks, you’ll need to change your campaign type
or create a new campaign.
Slide: 39
40. Campaign Settings…
Devices: Campaigns target all types of devices, which include desktops, tablets and mobile devices.
Later, you can choose to customise ads for different devices.
Locations and languages: Your campaign’s ads are eligible to show to customers in your targeted
geographic locations, or to customers who have selected your targeted language as their interface
language. We recommend choosing the language that you serve your customers in.
Bidding and budget: Choose to manually set your bids for clicks on your ads or let AdWords do it for
you. Depending on your campaign type, you may see additional bidding options to choose from.
Your bid strategy controls how you pay for users to interact with your ads.Your default bid is the
most that you’ll pay per click for ads in an ad group. Your budget is the average amount that you’re
comfortable spending each day on your campaign. The budget that you choose is entirely up to you,
and you can adjust it at any time.
Ad extensions: Include even more information with your ads, such as location information, links to
pages on your website and your phone number.
Slide: 40
41. Campaign Settings…
Advanced settings: Once you’re comfortable using AdWords’ most essential settings, consider
adopting one or more of these optional features to help get your ad campaign on the same schedule
as your customers (these settings are available for campaigns with "All features" enabled):
Schedule: Set a campaign start and end date.
Ad scheduling: Choose certain days or hours of the week for your ads to show.
Ad delivery: By default, AdWords shows your ads when they're more likely to get clicks or
conversions, but you can choose to show your ads more evenly throughout the day.
