What is a good CTR for a Google AdWords Remarketing banner campaign?
-
Hello there, given that in the banners we offer a promotion with "some bonus if you sign up", what is from your experience a good CTR for a Google AdWords Remarketing banner campaign?
Many thanks to everyone that answers.

Many thanks Rui, we'll try Yahoo! and Bing advertising.

I have no idea what a good CTR would be for the fields you mentioned
You should start the campaigns, split test different ads with different images, headlines, CTAs etc for your remarketing campaigns and keep improving your CTRs
Is in your opinion the Remarketing a good solution, in terms of increaseing the PPC budget by a reasonable profit margin for these 4 market fields (a, b, c, d )?
if the website is set up correctly, then remarketing can work well for all of these. if it's leather bags and they added the bag to the checkout but didn't proceed, then you can target these people specifically and lure them back to the website to finish the transaction.
I assume with automotive the objective is to get their contact details in which case remarketing will work well
Which kind of PPC (other than AdWords) would you use for them?
well i don't know the specifics of the business so it's difficult to say
for online printing, if it involves printing photos, then fb marketing can work well. leather bags could also work well on fb
beds and mattresses -- you could try yahoo & bing advertising as you would probably get lower cost/click than u would on adwords

We have different products for different clients and the purpose of the initial question was to understand (if exists) a kind of "cross-sectorial" typical CTR for a Remarketing campaign based on the average of real data of other PPC professionals.
Right now have several remarketing campaigns running for different clients, specifically we would like to know what do you think to be a good CTR for this market fields:
a) Automotive (high profit margin for each acquisition).
b) Online printing (low profit margin for each acquisition).
c) Beds and mattresses e-commerce (high profit margin for each acquisition).
d) Leather bags (medium profit margin for each acquisition).Is in your opinion the Remarketing a good solution, in terms of increaseing the PPC budget by a reasonable profit margin for these 4 market fields (a, b, c, d )?
Which kind of PPC (other than AdWords) would you use for them?
Many thanks.

Monthly subscription indeed!
Customer value is around $190 at the moment and remarketing brings them in at around $19 at last count
What product/service are you thinking of using remarketing for?
-
Many thanks Rui for sharing with us your data! It's very helpful for us!
Anyway, which kind business model do you have for your "education product"? Monthly subscription?
-
I run an education product.
I'm getting around 0.81% on the remarketing campaign over the last 30 days but conversion rates are crazy -- I'm getting triple the normal conversion rates.
I don't know if the CTR is a good one but compared to normal display campaigns where I get around 0.20-0.27%, it's a much higher CTR than what I usually get
-
Thank you Logan, we're aware that the CTR depends on a ton of factors, we just needed to listen about some real-world CTR from other marketers that had run Google AdWords remarketing campaigns.
Many thanks for your answer!

This is almost too vague of a question, because CTR is really dependent on a ton of variables, such as:
-
Perceived value of said "bonus"
-
Industry served
-
How specific, or broad your targeting is
-
Do you cap your impressions?
-
Branding and brand recognition (does it look familiar to the viewer - do they recall your message your brand, what your product is all about?)
-
The design/interactivity of the ad
Remarketing campaigns can vary significantly on those factors (and probably others), but if you can achieve 1% that would be pretty impressive IMO. Realistically, most the remarketing campaigns I've run (healthcare industry) end up .01-.75% CTR.

"Duplicate without user-selected canonical” - impact to Google Ads costs
Hello, we are facing some issues on our project and we would like to get some advice. Scenario
Paid Search Marketing | | Alex_Pisa
We run several websites (www.brandName.com, www.brandName.be, www.brandName.ch, etc..) all in French language . All sites have nearly the same content & structure, only minor text (some headings and phone numbers due to different countries are different). There are many good quality pages, but again they are the same over all domains. Current solution
Currently we don’t use canonicals, instead we use rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default": <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-BE" href="https://www.brandName.be/" /> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-CA" href="https://www.brandName.ca/" /> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-CH" href="https://www.brandName.ch/" /> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-FR" href="https://www.brandName.fr/" /> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-LU" href="https://www.brandName.lu/" /> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://www.brandName.com/" /> Naturally this si reflected in ""Duplicate without user-selected canonical” . Issue
We create the same ad in Google Ads for 2 domains. So the content is mostly identical, ads are identical, target URLs differ only in domain. Yet Google Ads “Quality score” is different (10/10 vs. 6/10) and “Landing page experience” is very different (Above average vs. Average). Some members of our team think lower “Landing page experience” increases the Google Ads costs, which I personally don't believe, but I want to double check. Question: Can “Duplicate without user-selected canonical” issue decrease the “Landing page experience” rating and as result can it cause higher Google ads costs? Any suggestions/ideas appreciated, thanks. Regards.0 -
Top of funnel google ads campaign not hardly converting, why?
Hi, I really hope someone can help me with this. I'm running two search ad campaigns and a google shopping campaign in google ads. The search campaigns are targeting top-of-funnel keywords as the business doesn't have universally known collections which everyone would search for so they are just unique to my business. So the campaigns are driving traffic but really converting whereas google shopping is converting because searchers are looking for particular products so they're lower down the funnel closer to aking a purchase decision. I feel I've optimised the campaign well and for the most part, most keywords have 7/10 quality score. The landing page seems fine. However, our offering wasn't as strong as competitors so we've offered a discount the same as them to compete. Since I started google ads we have nearly doubled our monthly revenue and the product types targeted in campaigns have increased in quantity sold so it seems it's having an effect but the campaigns aren't showing a good performance. Does anyone have any suggestions or input that could help me? I looked at first interaction attribution model and even there it's not performing well which makes this even more difficult to resolve. I'm thinking I should enable USER id feature in Google analytics so i can track signed in users across devices which may then help attribute sales to paid search channel as I saw in search console that the keyword that generates the most traffic to the site is our brand name and we're not a well-known brand so makes me think they may be starting their buyer's journey on a work computer on their mobile and finishing on their computer at home as an example. However, I don't believe this will be the main cause or solution as I would only have data for signed in users which still won't give me the full picture. Also if the campaign is optimised effectively but conversions are minimal could not having many conversions affect quality score? If someone can help or provide me with a different perspective it would be much appreciated. Please let me know if I need to clarify or explain further. I hope I've made myself clear. Thanks, T

What is the best way to update Adwords final URLs if I'm moving to a new CMS?
Hi there - One of my clients is redeveloping its website. That means, the domain is remaining the same, but the whole site is being rebuilt in wordpress so all the adwords final URLs need to change OR be redirected. There are 550 live adgroups and 3400 ads. We haven't set up tracking. I can't find anywhere what the best thing to do is in this case. The key issues seem to be: 1. 301 redirects - given we have to do these anyway as part of migration, this seems to be the easiest path as Google is ok about redirects as long as they don't go to a different domain. From what I'm hearing, you don't get adversely impacted in terms of quality score etc. This has the huge advantage that you don't have to edit the ad therefore no loss of statistical history or risk of downtime whilst you wait for approval. HOWEVER, there is some concern that if you then redirected again IN THE FUTURE, the redirect might not work (in some browsers) or cause a loop. I'm also concerned that it's messy to leave it like that (ie: with the wrong URLs throughout). 2. Buik updating ads - I don't think this is an option as if you bulk download and then reupload, Google will see this as a new ad, and delete all the statistical history - I'm also concerned that that WOULD impact quality score as you'd be starting from scratch! 3. Changing each ad individually - as far as I understand you'd have to create copies of all the ads (so that you keep the history of the old ones) and effectively create new ones with the correct URL - one by one. You end up with a messy account (a lot of paused ads) but you keep the history? This is obviously the most time consuming and I can't see a way of avoiding ads having to go in for approval again, given the urls are all different, so you'd have to do this a an ad level, not an adgroup/campaign level etc. People redevelop their websites (without changing domains) all the time. It seems strange that no one is mentioning this problem! Any ideas?! Many thanks

PPC for Luxury Goods Website
Hi Mozzers, I am starting a PPC campaign for a website that sells high-end products. The search volume for the generics is very high but I think the conversion rate on those will be quite low given the price of the products. Does anyone have any experience in doing PPC for high-end retailers and what type of keyword I should be bidding on? Thanks!

Broad vs. Exact in Brand Campaign
Hey guys, I was looking through my "Brand" campaign, and I noticed that my costs are running a little higher than I'd like to be spending. I've got my brand search term (Strutta) set on broad, since I just recently started the brand campaign about 2-weeks ago. However, I've noticed that I'm spending around $1 on most clicks even though my QS is at 9/10. In my previous experience, I've been able to pay pennies on brand search terms. I know that I have a competitor that's trying to snipe my brand searches, but I don't really want to be paying this much for branded clicks. Would it be a good idea to check my search terms, build out a larger list of exact match terms, and just go with exact match? Do you guys usually use broad in your Brand campaigns, or exact?

Google Analytics CPC and PPC not Matching
Hi Why do our CPC in Google Analytic not match our PPC in Adword, surely they should be identical? We have Auto-tagging switched on and data in our history is wrong so it is not a timing issue. Thanks

Adwords Bulk Discount
Had a few calls recently from agencies offering bulk discount on Google Adwords spends if we pass management over to them and spend more than £5,000 ($7,500) a month, they claim they can offer a 5% discount over what we're currently paying... Can't find anything about this, does Google offer such a deal to agencies?
