How we can help…

We now have insight into your business and current Google Adwords setup, we know precisely what is needed to increase the leads / sales you are gaining from you Google Ads and website.

Below is a list of the most critical elements we will work on as a priority for you.

R

Campaign Structure

Each campaign need to be split into far more ad groups, this will enable us to target and test much more specifically. 

The adverts need to be more relevant to the keywords/search terms that people are using, this will help gain a better Quality Score which leads to lower cost per clicks and higher positions.

R

Call Only Campaign

Budget is being wasted on a ‘Call Only’ which duplicates all of the same target keywords and runs at the same time as the non call campaign. These campaigns need to be amended or brought together.

R

Device Bidding

The campaign doesn’t have any device bidding in place, this means we are not taking advantage of targeting which devcies provide us with the most high value conversions. This also means we will be wasting budget on candidates.

R

Ad Schedule

The campaign is set to run 24/7 – we need to break down the time of the day into sections and bid more during times of the day that produce more conversions. This current setup will waste budget on candidates.

R

Ad Copy

The ad copy is not optimised to focus enough on clients rather than candidates, this will be wasting click budget.

R

Location Targeting

The campaign is set to United Kingdom however as there are no excluded locations, your adverts are being shown and getting clicks in places like South Africa, France, Germany, Italy, Australia.

R

Keyword Quality

Some of the keywords have a low quality score of 3 or 5 out of 10, this means that they are not relevant enough to the ads you are running and the landing pages you are driving traffic to. To improve the quality score we would split up the keywords into more specific ad groups and have more specific adverts.

R

Remarketing

You are not taking advantage of Remarketing. Remarketing ads help bring back to your website the highly qualified 95% of visitors who did not convert during their first visit.

3

Retargeting

Reconnect with the 95%+ of website visitors that leave without contacting you!

Candidates and clients rarely make contact with you during their first visit to your website. Retargeting helps us to reconnect and re-present your offerings to those who have shown a past interest by visiting your website.

Retargeting adverts can be shown across all major online platforms including Google search pages, most Social platforms as well as millions of third party websites.

Retargeting is a powerful way to stay engaged with your target audience and can dramatically improve your enquiry results.

Advert messaging and design

We design, write and develop creative adverts that compel relevant targets to click through to your site, they feature a full range of benefits, offers and wording.

Budget / Result Projections
Generally speaking your budget needs to be a reflection of two major factors, how competitive your target market is, and the exposure you require. If you choose a budget that’s too small, you will not gain enough website visits to deliver the volume of applications / enquiries required to produce a reasonable ROI.

Below we have advised on what a minimum and recommended budget would be for your situation.
