1. Single Keyword Ad Groups (SKAG’s)
One mistake many businesses make with their online campaigns is using multiple keywords in the one ad.
If you want to turn your ads into a prevailing, leading and profit churning tool, you need to look at search terms and single keyword ad groups.
If you are using multiple keywords in one campaign, you will never make a 100% match between the keyword you are bidding on and the ad that you want to show. To avoid this, you need to make your ads more appropriate and significant using SKAG’s. Through this, it will allow you to govern the balance between your keyword and ad.
So, compared to having multiple keywords in your ad which will effectively bring your performance and click rate down, control your keywords and have one per ad to make it relevant, which will then result in more conversions, sales and will lower your cost per conversion, meaning you make more money.
SKAG’s:
- Higher relevancy and conversion rates
- Lower costs per click and per conversion
- Increased sales and profits
2. Aim For Sales, Not Conversions
Today, sit down and evaluate your ads and keywords. Make a list of keywords and placements which have the maximum sales rate. You can find this through Google’s Value Track Parameters.
Once you find which keywords are making you the most money, you can then bid more assertively on these keywords. Out do your competitors!
But don’t stop there! By using the Google Parameters tool, study and track your customer’s geographical locations and what devices they are using to help make your ads more relevant to those. With this data, you can restructure your ads, make them stronger and more attractive to your target audience which means more sales and you can stop wasting money on ads which are not profitable and actionable.

Learn what your customers cost and what they buy. If they cost you one dollar each, figure that every wasted dollar costs you a potential customer”.
Claude C Hopkins – Advertising Pioneer
7. The Importance of Phone Leads
When perfecting your Google Ads, think about what type of leads you want: email leads or phone leads.
Most businesses opt for an email lead; however, statistics show phone leads are actually more effective in completing a sale. 300% more than any other lead.
Phone leads, and talking to a customer, can make your business more relatable and you are able to sell your product better. This is because you can identify straight away what customer they are, what needs they have and what resolution they are requiring. All this can help you pitch a sale tailored to what they are after.
A tip to achieving phone leads is by using a local number. By dropping 1300, 13, and 1800 numbers, you are presenting yourself as a local business, which means customers feel more comfortable with you as they know they are not dealing with businesses overseas or in another state. This means you can outperform competitions who seem national or international.
