Return of investment on spend on google adwords
-
Hi
Running an adwords campaign for a builders/construction company namely double glazing what sort of return of investment could I expect to get on a return of £4000 per month?
I know its a million dollar question but any insight or thoughts would be appreciated, especially on tracking ROI for example in this case it's just leads via a contact form on potential conservatory, windows or doors work which would be followed up via phone and an onsite visit.

Its not always the person that pays the most that will out rank other advertisers
The formula looks like this:
CPC bid × Quality Score = Ad score (The highest scores will rank in the top)
so what does that mean? Lets say that advertiser A has a Quality Score of 8 and he is willing to pay a max cpc of 2$ that gives him a total of 16 points ( 2$ x 8 quality score) But advertiser B is willing to pay 3$ per bid but only has a quality score of 5 giving him a total score of 15.
In this scenario Advertiser A would get the top position.
The avg _Quality Score is 5.. if you do a great job with your _Quality Score you will pay less to rank, and visa versa. __
__CTR has a huge impact on _Quality Score - So make sure your ads are relevant, interesting and standing out. ___

Thanks what is a good quality score and how do you check?
Also with negative keywords I am already using things like "diy conservatories" as this is not what I want to target, is that what you mean?
How do you get to no1 position on adwords is it just the case of however pays the most in their daily budget gets no1 spot or is it a number of factors

As Monica already stated it depends on various factors. The keywords you are targeting, but most of all the landingpages ability to convert visitors into customers.
I've done some work in that area
It wouldn't be unlikely to convert 2-3% on some keywords while others would be a waste of money. A perfectly optimized landingpage might do way better then these numbers, but that takes time and you obviously need to do some A/B testing. If you do a great job you might get x2 - x4 times the avg conversion (~2%)
A few tips:
- Devide your groups and ads to get the best possible quality score
- Test ads on how they perform - try to optimize as mush as you can
- Keep an eye on you CTR for keywords (higher CTR = you pay less pr click)
- track conversion rates for keywords, ads and campaigns
- Use negative keywords to filter out broadmatches that will lower you CTR
- Use ad Extensions to get a higher CTR
- Do A/B Testing of landingpages as well

Did any of those clicks convert? I would think on a broad term like that, you would have a very low conversion rate.
Let's say of the 40 clicks you scheduled 20 appointments. The average Ecomm conversion rate is 2%. At the lowest 10,000 per conversion, you would earn 10,000. 2% of 20 = .4. That isn't even 1 conversion.
Now if you scheduled all 40 appointments and converted at a higher rate, you would have a higher ROI.
-
For example conservatories which is high volume and very competitive recently generated me 3,400 impressions, 40 clicks at a cost of £1.71 on position 2.8 with me, and the average cost of the product if it led to a sale would be around £10,000 - £20,000
-
I think that it highly depends on your key terms. I don't think that anyone could give you an idea of your ROI without looking at your setup. Your key terms, search volume, average sale and many other things factor into the ROI. Will return only consist of revenue or is your conversion level setting an appointment? Or gaining a phone call?
Fortunately there are tools inside of Adwords that can help you track conversions, like phone calls, or contact us form submissions. Without delving into your data it will be pretty hard for anyone to be able to give you any kind of ball park ROI figure.

Google Adwords Clicks not registering properly???
Hello Moz World, I am running a Google Adwords campaign utilizing Google Search and Search Partners only. These are traditional text ads. When I look at the analytics through Google Adwords, I am seeing 60 clicks. Great! However, when I look through the keywords in the ad groups, none of my keywords are registering clicks. I also checked search terms under the keyword tab, and no keywords are populating. Where are my ads being clicked, and how can I view information on these clicks. This is a relatively new campaign, and I am still trying to figure out if I am targeting the right keywords. Thanks ahead of time for all the great responses! B/R Will H.

How to track in Google Analytics 2 different subdomains (one for website, the other for PPC landing pages)
Hello Mozers! I have a website with organic visits/goals on www.site.com and a few AdWords Campaign landing pages on lp.site.com whose goals are tracked with both adwords conversion monitoring AND analytics (not imported from analytics into Adword). The landing pages of the campaign have nothing to do with the web site (different cms, they don't link each other, totally isolated) and viceversa. Given that, what would it be the best practice to configure Google Analytics to track the website (www.site.com) AND a PPC campagin (lp.site.com)? I have been told to set up different views of the same property, but do I really need that? Please let me know what are you thinking. Thank you very much. DoMiSoL Rossini

AdWords & Iframes?
We have a client that has syndicated content across a variety of domains. They have no access to the domain/hosting for the site that the content is being syndicated on, but would like to run PPC campaigns to these pages. The page is a header, footer and then the main page content is inside of an iframe, and I was wondering if Google will even allow that to be used as a landing page for a PPC campaign? Thanks!

AdWords Negative Keywords
Hello community! I got a bit stuck with negative keywords management today! I have updated the negative keyword list and as it can be shared among all my active campaign I put it into the shared library. But when I downloaded the recent changes on Editor I can't get to see the new negatives and I can't check their match types. Do I have to upload the list on Editor for each campaign? Thanks

Linking Adwords to Analytics for Multiple Clients
what is the best practice for this? Right now everything is under many different passwords and logins, yet conforming them all to one comes with a bunch of loopholes and bumps along the way. Does anyone know how to get a few clients under the same username and password (linking the AdWords and Analytics for each of them)?

Adwords search term report processing help
So I've downloaded my 6000 row adwords search term report, and want to analyses brand keywords and variants only....I could do this by brute force, but I'll want to do it again in a month or two. I have a nice regex string which will do the job but can't find a way to implement a solution. Is there a good way to do this? Or is there a better way? Adwords won't let me filter using regex, Excel needs vb setup to use regex and I've tried the regex in Libre Calc (doesn't return the correct results).
