Adwords Campaign Optimization Tips And Checklists

I would recommend everyone to look up to this checklist whenever you wish to improve or optimize your new campaign. These 6 steps will help you can improve and refine the campaign Five steps are as follows:


1) Improve keywords: Make sure that keywords are specific & relevant. One word keywords are usually too broad and you might need longer or secondary keywords to refine it further. Broad match modifier can be a plus many times- use a + sign in front of keyword that you want to be included in the user’s search (i.e.: +Delhi +shoes).Click below to know more.

2) Refine your bids: Use the ‘Avg. Pos’ metric when you are looking for your ads to appear in search engine’s first page.Click below to know more.

You can follow these steps with your own pace and speed depending upon the type of campaign you are managing.Apart from these 6 basic steps you need to check few more things that includes:
Whether your ads have been approved or not and are they under the policy of Google. If the ads are not approved you may need to make changes as per the Google guidelines. Are the ads relevant to the campaign?
Are the keywords that you choose right for the campaign, do they have potential to convert the client? What type of campaign would suit the campaign, would it be video, search or display.
Now once the campaign is started just see what amount of impressions are being show and whether they ads are getting clicks or not, if not you need to check the whether ads are appearing or not if they are appearing very low then you will need to improve ad position by increasing bid.

I hope these points help you guys.
