How to improve good ppc campaign?
-
Hi guys,
I'm managing PPC campaign for one of my client.
Its locksmith campaign in the US, so you can imagine that the competition is very high.We are getting really good results. almost 50% conversion rate, all the keys are in average position of 1.5, the quality score is high (between 6-10),Search Lost IS, is really low. Everything split to group, zip code, cities, for mobile or desktop...
basically everything is going really well.
BUT as we always want to increased the results and like all if us we have the presser from the client to improve and get more results, i feel that im a bit stuck.
What other stuff i can do to improve\extend the campaign ?
Any tips are more then welcome!

Edmond,
Having read your question and the response above I have one thing I would add based on years of marketing experience (not just digital): With any ppc campaign you should always be running A/B testing as a mechanism to either improve conversions or validate what you are doing. I think this is the most under utilized tool in all paid search.
Running an agency I can tell you that we occasionally fall into the trap of not doing this regularly with clients who are being very successful. To me that means we are complacent and due to have a fall. So, I urge A/B testing.Robert

Hello, I also run a few adwords campaigns,
What I've been learning is:
- Making sure landing pages are relevant to user's search queries
- Taking about 2 hours a week or more just for negative keyword adding
- Take twice as long as you do for negative keywords for positive keyword adjustments
- Always watch ad listings like a hawk to adjust when a competitor swoops in so you can adjust accordingly
- Maybe set up a few auto reports if already haven't for things like quality score, ad CTR% and cost overall to see where you can improve.
- Change up ads every so often just the wording and save the older wording to use at a later date, just to keep things fresh.
- Using the above, try new action words and measure any changes via the auto reports
Now with the 4 pack listings, seems number 1 isn't the most desired rank, it's number 3 and 4, since when you scroll down just to see organic listings, the 3 and 4th spot is still visible, creating a very pleasurable price decrease overall by 50% in some cases for EXTREMELY competitive keywords!
I don't know how much longer these awesome prices and google's 4 ad pack goof will continue, but it won't last much longer I'm sure, until google get's data and either reverts back to 3 pack or moves number one spot to 3 or 4th spot to recoup their losses from everyone trying to pay less to rank 3rd or 4th.
But you could or might be enjoying that already if your niche handled the 4 pack listings this way.

Will pausing my AdWords PPC campaigns impact my organic rankings?
Over 95% of my revenue comes from organic search; less than 5% comes from AdWords PPC (all other sources account for about 1-2%). My ROI on AdWords is roughly zero. It's negative if you include opportunity costs. My question is: if I pause all of my AdWords campaigns, is there ANY chance that my organic rankings (and organic click-through rates) will suffer? This is really two questions. First, could Google retaliate to my reduced ad spending by dropping my rankings? Second, will searchers think differently about my organic link if they don't also see the accompanying paid link on the SERP?

Google URL Builder / Campaign Tracking on two Different Domain using the Same Analytics Code
Hey Everyone, I think I know the answer to this but I'd like to get some confirmation. I currently have a landing page at "www.xyz.com", it's a separate domain in which only the landing page exists and not a vanity URL which redirects. However, the navigation and all the links on "www.xyz.com" actually link out to "www.abc.com". The domain / landing page "xyz" has the same analytics tracking code as domain "www.abc.com". My question is this, if I use Google URL builder to create custom URL's to track for each ad that I'm running in Adwords, will this data show up in the analytics of "abc" even though it's a separate domain because it has the same analytics code? In other words, does campaign data show only if the domain and the google analytics code line up, or does the domain not matter and as long as you have the same analytics code (despite two separate domains) that campaign data (built through Google URL builder) will show? My hunch and best guess it that as long as the analytics code is the same (regardless of a separate domain) that the data in campaign will show with the custom URL's I build. I'm aware that I can test this and I will but I'd like to get an idea from the community first to make things easier. Anybody have experience with this? Answers greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What is a good tool to use to create SEA reports in?
Hiya Mozzers, I'm looking for a tool to create fancy SEA reports in. I'm doing it manually in Word right now and that just takes far too much time and just isn't pretty. We're a small marketing-as-a-service agency and SEA is one of the services we offer, but we're not an Adwords certified partner yet (because we don't have the 10.000 a month yet). So that's to give you an idea of our company size. We're not looking for something big and expensive. Would love to hear some idea's on tools to use! Sophie

How long does it ramp up a PPC campaign?
I was speaking to a SEO the other day. He is going to be working on an ecommerce site soon. I was suggesting that he might want to augment his SEO efforts with PPC in order to be able to show some results in the near term, as it would most likely take some time for his SEO work to be showing results. His response was that while he hasn't utilized them as much, he's found that it can take 3-6 months to get a PPC campaign to really make money. I'm just curious if you guys feel that this is an accurate statement?

Does anybody know of a good bulk import http response checker? The one I was using has disappeared and I can only find checkers that only take one URL at a time.
