_{Best Practices for Google Ads in 2024}

Staying abreast of Google’s constant ad changes can be difficult and time-consuming because its ad guidelines and policies seem to change weekly. However, it is possible to stay in the loop with these continual changes if you do and know about the following.

_{Google Ads Explained}

Google Ads is a Net-based advertising program that lets companies list their companies on top of Google search engine’s search results. It’s not difficult to set up and run online ads by incorporating strategic and targeted keywords throughout them. That will increase your site’s online visibility on various search engines, especially Google.

You can run Google ads to drive droves of traffic with strong converting potential to your site. Indeed, Google Ads are what you want if you want to generate quality and results-driven traffic right away.

You can go to Google’s library and learn about its various ad types, but I’m listing the most popular ones below:

●    Responsive search ads - you enter many headlines and ad copies. Then sit back and let Google do all of the work for you. It will test the ads automatically until it finds the ones and combinations that deliver the results you want.

●    Dynamic search ads - target searchers using unique search terms. You can direct them to the most relevant landing page on your site.

●    Display ads - display relevant ads with appealing images and powerful text on your site.

●    Video ads - run ads on YouTube and other sites that are Google’s partners.

●    Shopping ads - create ad campaigns that appear at the top of search engine results and promote specific products and brands.  

_{How To Get The Most Out of Google PPC}

Google PPC is an acronym for Google Pay-Per-Click. It operates by having businesses bid on certain strategic keywords that pertain to their brands. These ads then appear in their SERPs. They are only charged when their ads receive clicks.

PPC campaigns bring many benefits and advantages:

●    Target past users, visitors, or customers.

●    Target people who are looking for your brand name.

●    Target people in similar target audiences or markets.

●    Target people at different phases of your sales funnels.

You need to do the following to do PPC right:

●    Select the right and strategic keywords from the beginning.

●    Establish a daily budget.

●    Determine what your spend per click will be.

_{The Best Way of Selecting Google Ads Keywords}

You need to select results-driven keywords from the beginning. You set yourself up for success by doing so because it plays a huge role in determining which pages on your site will appear in searches. That will decide who views your ads.

1.   Adopt your customers’ mindsets- think about the words and phrases they use when they search for specific brands, products, and/or services. You’ll likely need to scrutinize your analytics heavily and deeply.

2.   Leverage Google’s Keyword Planner - it’s easy to use. Just type a keyword or long-phrase into the search word tool. You’ll then see many relevant keyword sand long-tail phrases appear in the results. You can integrate them to optimize your content and boost your site’s SERP immediately.

3.   Rely on a keyword research tool - you can feed your keyword and long-tail phrases list into Ahrefs, SEMrush, or another dedicated keyword search tool. Doing so will give you more specific results. That will give you insights into the keywords and phrases that deliver results and which your competition uses.

4.   Don’t include negative keywords - only include keywords that are relevant to your brand. That reduces the incidence of someone who isn’t interested in what you sell seeing your site.

5.   Stick with keywords that have a high search volume and low competition - you want to maximize your ROI and revenue streams by choosing words that get lots of traffic, but that not many companies use.  

_{Tips for Optimizing Your Landing Page}

Choosing appropriate keywords is only half of the battle when running Google Ads campaigns that convert. You need to build an extremely optimized landing page if you want people to come to your site from various places online.
 

It’s best to do the following to optimize your Google landing page:

●    Align the content (text and everything) with the Ads that are displayed on your page.

●    Include strong and easy-to-understand CTAs and important information at the bottom of the page.

●    Make your CTAs short, zingy, and snappy. That formula works best when maximizing converting traffic.

●    Keep navigation options to a minimum and optimize those navigation options leading to the CTA.

●    Use appealing images and visual content.

●    Appeal to people’s impulse buying instincts by using scarcity and urgency tactics.
