Distributors may grow their businesses more quickly with the help of Google Ads, which gives them the tools to rank highly in search results for specific goods and services.
While ranking on the first page of Google is a positive step, Google Ads will help you get there far more quickly than SEO, but if your campaigns are set up incorrectly, you might end up losing hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars each month.
Here are the most frequent errors advertisers run into with distributors and how to fix them:
1.Ad Clicks Being Forwarded to Your Home Page
One of the errors we encounter the most frequently is this one. When someone clicks on your ad for a particular product or service and navigates to your home page, they will discover broad information about your company and the various services you provide, but nothing related to the ad. They could give up trying to figure out how they got there and click through your navigation in an effort to access the information your advertisement promised them. You are paying for that wasted click since sooner or later they will move on to conduct their search elsewhere
What to replace: To give your viewers the impression that they are in the proper place, create a landing page with a headline that matches your advertisement and messaging that uses comparable terminology.
Your visitor will find the information they are interested in on your landing page, boosting the likelihood that they will complete the intended action, such as filling out a form or obtaining a quote.
2. Irregular Ad Groups
If you wanted to keep things simple, you may have started running the advertising yourself a long time ago by forming just one broad group. You continued to add more keywords to that group over time, so today it has a wide variety of terms.
One search phrase may end up matching many separate ad groups because you later formed another group and added some of the same search terms that you had in the general group.
Ad performance tracking is messed up by this grouping disorder.
Instead, create distinct ad groups with a focused subject. Even though the keywords are similar, it's a good idea to separate them into various ad groups so you can quickly observe which performs better and adjust your strategy accordingly.
By categorizing your ad groups according to themes, you can make sure that your landing page and ad copy are relevant to the user's search.
3. Difficulty matching keywords
Broad match keywords are recommended by Google when you first build your ad, and you can choose that choice because it's simpler. You don't want to do this, though. This will increase your spending, which is advantageous for Google.
However, utilize a separate campaign and a modest budget set out for finding new keywords when using Broad Match to locate new keywords to bid on. Broad match should only be used for very particular purposes since, in an ideal world, you would have conducted keyword research to determine which terms you want to bid on.
What to replace: Other keyword match options exist that will improve your results and provide you more control over your advertising budget:
• With the use of the "+" symbol, the Broad Match modifier lets you specify the keywords you want your ad to appear for. You must be careful not to select keywords that are too general, though. It's usually a good idea to use a phrase match to keep it more precise. Exact •Match is another excellent option. Even while exact match no longer lives up to its name because your advertisements may show up for searches that closely resemble the term or for close variations, it is still a more accurate technique to monitor ad success.
Be mindful of the search terms that your advertising generates. Pick the keyword to view the search terms report for that specific phrase rather than viewing the entire ad group.
4.Not Enough Negative Keywords Are Used
Negative keyword use keeps you from paying for clicks that aren't relevant.
You don't want your advertising to display for negative keywords. Consider running an advertisement for "promotional items Fort Lauderdale." Negative search terms include:
•Free
•Cheap
- •Learn
- •Jobs, job
- Become
- •Pictures
- •Sell
What to replace: Make a list of unfavorable terms. Add them to the campaign or ad group, if appropriate. Use your negative keyword list to apply to all of your campaigns if you're running multiple campaigns and want them to all use the same negative keywords. By only maintaining one list, you can manage and keep track of your negative keywords more easily.
Negative keywords operate somewhat differently from the keywords you target, so keep that in mind. Include the keyword's frequent synonyms, misspellings, or close variations, as well as the singular and plural forms.
In your Google Ads account, in the search term tab, where you can see what people searched for when they clicked on your ad, you can identify negative keywords that your ad might be showing up for. This manner, if more negative keywords are needed, you can add them.
5.Improper Conversion Tracking
It can be challenging to evaluate how Google Ads is affecting your company when certain distributors are running ads while barely measuring conversions at all.
Others are monitoring activities that are helpful for measuring the functioning of your website as a whole, but not for monitoring advertising. Conversions do not include things like the amount of pages viewed, scrolling 80% of the way down the page, or viewing particular pages, for example.
When a person submits a form, gives you a call, begins a chat, places an order, or seeks a quote, you've converted that person into a lead, and leads lead to sales.
What to replace: Track just activities that result in leads, and base your campaign optimization on actual conversions. Make adjustments based on your observations of which keywords are working best and which ones aren't, but on which you may be spending a lot of money.
The Motive
When done correctly, Google advertising may be quite powerful, but in order to get the most return on your investment, the ads must be set up correctly. Make it a point to correct any errors you notice if you are doing any of the things mentioned in this post. It may take some time, but it will be well worth it.
