Adwords Support...
-
Hi Mozzers,
I have a Adwords campaign that I am taking over very soon. Involves quite a big spend (between £500-£1000) a day.
Sales and conversions have dropped and I am coming in to try get them back up.
I know my way around but with this ever changing Adwords tool now I would like to some decent tips if anyone has any on how to increase conversion, use of sitelinks, is optimizer any good, and get the Ad to the top of the page (currently around 3-4th).
any help would be great.
thanks

I agree with David K. too - where are sales dropping and when did the trend begin? Check your conversion tracking to make sure it is set up and tracking properly. You an also write in to AdWords Support via the 'Help' link and ask them to confirm your conversion tracking is working correctly too.
Tip for using Sitelinks: set them at the ad group level, and use the primary keyword for that ad group as the first sitelink. You need to set the sitelinks to go to different URLs than the primary destination URL.
Example: If you ad group is structured around 'Prince George Christening Photos', make the first sitelink be the same phrase. Good CTRs.

I feel that is the case with a loss in traffic. I find out more tomorrow.
Before then I would like to just get best tips available on stuff like Mobile Ads, Display Network, Optimizer, What Ad Type to use etc...?
Thanks

Before doing that i would analyze where the drop in sales came from is it across the adwords account or just specific campaigns , keywords, etc this will help you find outside problems that may need fixing. Often it can be the loss of organic traffic that is being felt in a drop in brand terms etc.

Reasonable Cost for Adwords PPC Set Up?
What is a reasonable cost to set up Adwords Campaign? This would include keyword research, set up of Adwords, set up re-marketing banners, creative and coding landing pages using Instapage. Lets say there are 3 ad groups and two landing pages per add group. Assuming the vendor is highly experienced and located in the United States, what is a fair price? $700, $1,000, $1,500? How about for the monthly management of the campaign? Let's assume advertising budget is $3,000. Is $500 per month reasonable, $800, $1,000? I do not want to over pay not under pay and am trying to determine a cost which is fair to both of us. Answers should be based on a US based vendor with native English and extensive experience with PPC. Thanks, Alan

Google Adwords Offered to Redesign My Website & A/B Test... Thoughts?
I received a call from the Google Adwords team today offering to redesign major pages of my website & A/B test their design against mine. The rep said that this is not a standard service they offer and that we had been "selected". Despite it's overt marketing overtones, I would hate to pass by the opportunity to apply Google's conversion insight to my site. Has anyone experienced this before? Good experience? Bad experience?

Adwords Advice
Hi. I have a few questions regarding Adwords set up. I typically follow a highly targeted model with Ad Groups consisting of a few ads and keywords. I have a client who offers multiple services across multiple towns/cities/counties but what I want to know is the best way to structure this at campaign level. Say they offer carpet cleaning, window cleaning and car cleaning. In cities London, Birmingham and Leeds. Now when setting the campaign up, would I be better served to set up a Campaign at: City Level. Eg London location settings, london keywords, london in Ad copy. Service Level. London, Leeds & Birmingham in location setting. Ad Groups for each city with Ads aimed at each city/keywords. Or City & Service level. Eg. London location settings. London Car Cleaning. The Ad Group, Ads, Keywords. What is the best structure to use? I see location as important but if I restrict settings to 1 city, am I doing myself out of some searches from regions on the border of London that might be interested in the service? I want Ads, Keywords to be highly targeted but the best way to play it. Thanks

A typical customer journey scenario: Customer searches for a solution to a problem with our product in Google/Yahoo/MSN Customer then clicks our link in the SERPs that addresses his/her current problem Customer lands on the link, reads the fix/solution and does one of the five below-mentioned actions a) Customer resolves the problem and clicks the ‘Yes’ button to notify us is he is satisfied. Eventually, the customer leaves our support website. b) Leaves the website as a result of resolving the problem without clicking the Yes or No button. c) Customer does not resolve the problem and clicks the ‘No’ button to notify us that the problem persists even after he/she tried to fix the problem using the support/help document. Then customer might contact us using the contact button (when takes them to Live-help options page). d) Customer clicks the ‘Contact Us’ button to contact our live support agent either via chat or phone, who will help resolve the issue. e) Searches using the Internal Search, if the link doesn’t seem to solve his/her problem and can hop onto other support documents.

How can I find the redirect that removes special parameter from Adwords?
My main problem is Google Analytics doesn't show data from Google Adwords because a redirect in my site removes the special parameter(gclid) supplied by Adwords. Here's an email from one of Google Adwords representative: "When I reviewed your website, I found that a redirect set up on your site is removing auto-tagging information from your URLs. Auto-tagging automatically adds a parameter to the end of each of your AdWords destination URLs in order to identify visitors as AdWords referrals. The tag captures keyword, campaign, ad content information, and your ad's position when a user clicked it. The parameter used in auto-tagging is called "gclid." However, due to your website's redirect, the "gclid" parameter is being removed from the URL. As a result, Google Analytics is unable to properly track visitors reaching your site through AdWords. We suggest contacting your webmaster to append the "gclid" parameter to the redirected URL. If this isn't possible, you may want to consider removing the use of the redirect." Thanks in advance!

Adwords shows clicks but no conversions in GA
Hi Folks, I was wondering if anyone has come across a similar situation, I have setup adwords campaigns and included these in my Google Tag Manager setup and deployed the GTM snippet to a clients site. In adwords I can see clicks (2,000+) however in Google Analytics I can see only a handful ot conversions. Is there anyway I can test/track a conversion to ensure that it is being processed and report correctly? Also within AdWords Conversion Tracking I have noticed that under the "Webpages" tab that pages other than the pages that should have the conversion code on them are listed. Have I setup my Adwords camapign or GTM tags incorrectly? Any and all feedback or insight would be greatly welcomed and appreciated.

What happens when i import analytics conversions into adwords if I already have conversions set up?
Hey everyone, I have a question. We already have conversion tracking set up for our landing pages, however Adwords has the option to import goals from anaytics, one of which is for the landing pages. What will happen if I do? Will it erase all the conversion data I already have? Will it mess things up? Or am I not understanding this correctly... Any help would be appreciated 🙂
