Adwords campaign and adgroup ideas
-
When it comes to SEO, I can do that. When it comes to adwords I tend to scratch my head. No idea why, I just do. Anyways I want to get some ideas of how I can setup a killer campaign and structure it and target relevant keywords. Here is my description of my business
We are a private christian school providing preschool, elementary and highschool. We are located in Henderson, NV but service Las Vegas, NV as well. We have some of the highest scores and accolades in Nevada so we pride ourselves with those and feel we should target that.
So far when it comes to structure I have come up with this setup

I didn't finish the rest because you should get the point. I don't know if these are exact keywords, I just know that private school, top rated and best tend to be what people type.
Then each adgroup will get a relevant ad pertaining to those keywords.
Am I going overbaord? or is this a good start?

It's not bad necessarily. You want to keep your ad text and landing page relevant to the keywords in each ad group. So if you have a keyword in which you want a very specific ad to show up, that's fine. Otherwise, if you're ok with the same ad text and landing page showing up for a set of keywords, you can put all of those keywords in the same ad group.
Note that you can control max CPC bids on keywords, so if one isn't converting as well, or one is doing really well, you can change the bids at the keyword level.

Is it bad to target one keyword per ad?

very good to know that, there were so many keywords I wanted but thought I could not use them because they could be getting these results even thought they were not near me. Thanks so much

You should be using location targeting to those specific locations for your campaigns, and leaving the locations out of your keywords. So if someone in Henderson searches for "elementary private school", they'll see your ad.
For the Henderson campaign, the default Adwords setting will now show ads to people who search for these keywords in Henderson, or people who search for "Henderson NV elementary private school", which is probably what you want. If you'd prefer to exclude those searchers outside of Henderson, you can do that in your campaign settings as well with the Location > Target option, by selecting "People in my targeted location".

Should You Buy Your Name in Adwords?
While I definitely see the pros to buying your name in Adwords, should you still do this if you have a small monthly budget? I get why large companies like Tiffany's would buy their name because they have the excessive funds to do so in addition to buying keywords. Any guidance or strategy on this?

Question regarding Google Adwords?
Just had a question regarding Google Adwords. I have an e-commerce store (kiwimodfurniture.com) in the furniture niche and I originally was planning to create a different ad group for each product. Since I have 1300 products I would have 1300 ad groups. However a lot of the products don't have enough search volume and Google won't display my ads. Then I decided to get a bit more broad. I plan on having an ad group for each sub category on my website. For example, modern lounge chairs, modern arm chairs, modern sofas, etc. Question: Is this too broad? Will the ROI be terrible because of this? Thanks!

Is there any reason to add the word "buy" to our Adwords keywords?
Was having a discussion with someone so I am going to write this up as neutral as possible and let you guys decide. We have a large keyword list and they are all setup as phrase. Should we go back and add the word buy in front of all those keywords? Even though they are setup as phrase already. Example: "Widget" (as a phrase) Should we go back and add "Buy Widget" as a keyword?

PPC Campaign Setup Fee - Fair?
We already do our PPC campaigns with an agency and we're looking to create another campaign. They told us that the amount of traffic around our campaign would allow for about $2-3k spend per month, possibly with some additional funds placed into display ads. For this campaign, they have proposed a setup fee of $2k and an increased management fee of $750 -- is this a reasonable price?
