1. Define your objective.

PPC advertising, like everyone else, requires an objective.


You can't optimise your PPC campaigns unless you have a clear and measurable aim.


The core of your optimization strategy is your campaign goals.


That is why, before you begin using PPC advertising, you should make sure you have a plan in place.


It's critical to remember that you should set measurable PPC campaign goals because only then will you be able to tell if you've met them.


Do you want to increase the number of visitors to your website or increase the number of leads, purchases, downloads, and subscriptions?


The method of optimising your PPC ads is determined by the objectives you want to attain.


After you've defined your objectives, you'll be able to compare your campaigns to see if you've achieved your objectives.


2. Concentrate on keywords with a high conversion rate.



You must monitor the performance of your keywords in order to optimise your PPC campaigns. It's critical to keep an eye on them because they're the foundation of all PPC campaigns.


You can determine which keywords are the greatest performers and are truly paying you back after examining your keyword's performance report.


Your top-performing keywords are the ones that bring you the most business, so you should concentrate on them.


One thing to keep in mind here is that just because certain keywords are performing well does not imply you should leave them alone.


Change the bidding strategy for these keywords on a regular basis. You can then figure out what the best bid is for each of the keywords.


The quality score of your keywords is a performance indicator, so keep an eye on it across all of them to see which ones are regularly top performers.


3. Eliminate keywords that aren't performing well.

While there will always be keywords that perform extraordinarily well and harm the campaign's overall performance, there will also be keywords that perform poorly and harm the campaign's overall performance.


These keywords generate no traffic or conversions, and they squander your advertising budget.


After you've analysed the performance of your keywords, put them on hold if they're not generating enough impressions, clicks, or conversions.


Non-performing keywords come in a variety of forms.


To begin with, there are keywords with no impressions.




These keywords are a big part of squandering your ad budget. If a keyword fails to generate impressions, it suggests that people aren't looking for it.


The first option for fixing these keywords is to wait a week and examine their performance, after which you can eliminate them if their performance does not improve.




Second, some keywords have a lot of impressions but no clicks.


When a user's search query contains at least one of your keywords, your PPC advertising will show. Clicks, on the other hand, occur when a person sees an advertisement that is relevant to his or her needs and clicks on it to be redirected to your landing page.


If your keywords receive a lot of impressions but little or no clicks, this indicates that they aren't relevant.


The solution to this problem is to make sure that your keywords are well-targeted, so that when a user searches for you, you display them an ad that is directly related to their inquiry.


Finally, certain keywords generate clicks but no conversions.


If you're getting a lot of clicks but no conversions, it's either because your PPC campaigns aren't well-managed or because your website lacks the features needed to produce more conversions.


Analyze your PPC campaigns as a first step in determining why your clicks aren't converting. You can examine a number of aspects within the campaign to determine the key challenges that are preventing conversions.


To determine the primary reason, look at the Search Query Reports in AdWords.

You can examine your website for additional reasons for non-conversions.

You can examine and test the design, CTA, and landing page.

Make sure your adverts are sent to a landing page rather than your homepage.


Beyond this, there could be other reasons why your keywords aren't performing well. Perhaps the keyword's bid isn't high enough – or the keyword's search volume isn't high enough. It's possible that the keyword isn't relevant or that the match type isn't correct.


In any case, you must monitor the performance of your keywords to avoid losing money.


4. Make a list of negative keywords.

Negative keywords are crucial keywords that help you save money on advertising by avoiding your adverts from being displayed in response to irrelevant search inquiries. They assist you in ensuring that your advertising only appear in front of people who are actively looking for what you have to offer.



If you sell New Laptops, for example, you might include New Laptops as a keyword in your adverts. However, users looking for Old Laptops, Repair Laptops, and Second-Hand Laptops may see your adverts.


Because you only offer new laptops and not old, repaired, or used laptops, being triggered by these advertising is ineffective and will result in no revenue.




Because negative keywords make advertising more targeted and focused, clicks generated are more conversion-oriented, and as your CTR and conversions increase, your cost-per-click decreases, enhancing your total quality score.


5. Make sure your keyword bids are optimised.

The following stage is to change your keyword bids so that you stay in the competition after selecting your top-performing keywords, establishing your negative keyword list, and culling your non-performing keywords.


Bid optimization is determined by your marketing approach and varies each campaign.


Let's have a look at some of the bidding options that can help you boost the performance of your PPC campaigns.


(I) The greatest option for optimising bids is manual bidding.




Manual bid modifications are possible, as the term implies.


These types of adjustments provide you complete control over your bidding and allow you to make quick changes as needed.


Manual bidding allows you to get quite specific with your bids. Manual bidding also ensures that bid revisions are implemented as soon as possible. Because online marketing is dynamic and constantly changing, you can always adjust your bidding approach.


(II) Bidding with a target cost-per-acquisition (CPA)


Bids are set at the target CPA in order to get as many conversions as possible with the Target CPA Bidding strategy.


It optimises bids automatically and provides bidding capabilities that adapt bids to each auction. Target CPA Bidding can be used in a single campaign or across several campaigns, ad groups, or keywords.


Target CPA Bidding finds the best CPC bid for your ad based on the historical data from your campaigns when the ads are triggered. You run the danger of some of your conversions costing you more than the specified CPA while others costing you less.


In this instance, AdWords will strive to keep your Cost per Conversion as close as possible to the CPA you've selected.


If you select a Target CPA of $20, AdWords will automatically adjust your CPC bids to try to acquire as many conversions as possible at that price.


(III) ROAS Bidding with a Target


This allows you to bid based on your desired Return On Ad Spend. Targeted ROAS Bidding allows you to increase the value of your conversions.


Target ROAS Bidding can be used in a single campaign or across several campaigns, ad groups, or keywords, just like Target CPA Bidding.


AdWords estimates future conversions and related values based on your reported conversion values obtained through conversion tracking, and then sets a maximum CPC bid to optimise your conversion value.


AdWords strives to keep your conversion value equal to your Target ROAS with Target ROAS Bidding.


If your target ROAS is set at 400 percent, AdWords will automatically change your bids to optimise conversion value while still meeting your target ROAS.


6. Create enticing pay-per-click adverts

The initial point of contact between you and your potential customers is the ad copy. As the saying goes, the first impression is the most crucial, so make sure your ads are interesting and captivating.


Create unique ad copy to attract a larger number of potential buyers. This entails coming up with catchy headlines. Most people who browse the internet merely scan the screen and focus on the headline, so make sure it accurately represents your product or service.


You should also make your ads targeted and relevant - don't go on and on, simply be direct and to the point. Furthermore, avoid employing non-essential words and only include those that provide value to your product/service. Include a strong call-to-action and emphasise the unique selling proposition (CTA).


A good CTA raises the CTR while also measuring the efficacy of your PPC advertising.


Avoid generic phrases like 'click here' when developing a CTA and instead use phrases that persuade users to click the link and finish the desired course of action.


7. Include ad extensions.

Ad Extensions are ad formats that display additional product information. When you provide additional information on your items, you are assisting your customers in getting a better understanding of you and your products.


Ad Extensions also boost your visibility, boost your CTR, and boost your overall ROI.


You must select the appropriate Ad Extension for your PPC campaigns in order to reap the benefits of Ad Extensions:


Sitelinks Extensions are extra links in adverts that lead users to a specific page on your website. These add-ons provide links to extra landing pages with more detailed information.

Visitors can call you with just one click using Call Extensions. This makes it simple for potential customers to contact you.

Location Extensions enhance your adverts by providing your physical address, phone number, and a map that shows how to contact you. They make it simple for local customers to get in touch with you.

App Extensions are links that appear beneath your adverts and connect visitors to the App Store or a download link for the app.

Review Extensions are derived from online reviews, which have been shown to be trusted and relied upon by online customers.

8. Create landing pages for each ad.

Your ad copy and landing page are mutually beneficial.


Only if the ad copy is aligned with the appropriate landing page will it perform at its best.


As a result, it's critical to write the advertising while keeping in mind the landing page's offer.


Some advertisers make the mistake of sending visitors to the homepage or establishing a generic landing page for all of their advertising in the campaign.


Align your adverts with your landing page because the two are related.


You ensure consistency, be sure to highlight the benefits, features, and USP that you highlighted in your ad copy on your landing page.
