    Many successful businesses use Google Adwords and Pay-Per-Click advertising to market their business. Whether you want to attract more traffic to your website, let people know who you are, or find qualified customers that you can work with, Google Adwords is the exactly what you need to be using. Once you understand that Google search is immensely powerful, you then have to understand how you can utilize it and what are the advantages that come with Google Adwords.


    THE ADVANTAGES YOU GET WHEN YOU DECIDE TO USE ADWORDS:


    Google Adwords is a targeting machine. There are many factors inside this software to where you can customize your campaign so it fits your exact needs. Google Adwords includes location targeting, language targeting, displaying separate pages on mobile and desktop, displaying phone number, keyword planner tool, choosing ad goals, free analytic software, and much more. So much more this article would be 20,000 words and minus well be a book. 

    • Location targeting is one of the most useful aspects of Google Adwords. You can focus your attention on a specific area bringing you the highest return on ad spend. 
    • Displaying separate URLs on mobile vs desktop is a huge perk. A very overlooked one many times. A desktop optimized landing page is not always fit for mobile, actually many of the times it is better to create an entirely new landing page for mobile users so that you can have them both optimized to their fullest.


    Inside Google Adwords, you are able to group different ads together inside a campaign. This means when you are running a campaign for a brick and mortar store and the goal is for people to come in you can actually test 20 different headlines, landing pages, and copy, extremely easily. This can benefit your business by having easy to access A/B testing results. 

    • Google Adwords automatically continues to show the ad that is doing the best. This will help raise the ROI on the campaign. 

    Google Adwords is fully customizable. This means you aren’t limited to just what Google says you can do. You are almost fully free to run the campaign how you want it to. Granted Google does have algorithms in the software to where it can affect your campaigns.

    • A few customizable features include zip code and location targeting, higher/lower volume keywords, ad extensions, mobile/desktop landing page optimization.


    Their customer service is off the hook. When you are setting up your campaign you can give Google a call and they will guide you in setting up your campaign. Also if you ever run into any problems they will help fix those. Even if you want free advice and tips you can call their support number to get that info. All you do is give them a call and you will get a real-life expert on Google Advertising on the phone.

    One of my favorite features is that Google Adwords is cost-effective. To some businesses, it may seem anti-cost-effective and expensive, but the CPC (cost-per-click) feature allows you to only pay when someone clicks your ad. That means when you run a tight campaign with the right geo-targeting and keywords you will attract quality leads that contact you.

    • Keyword research is key to finding cost-effective leads for your business. There are many tools free and not free that help you with keyword research. A few include ubersuggestGoogle keyword planner, and SEMrush


    Inside this software, you are able to customize your daily and monthly budget. If your company runs into a bad month and you guys want to cut back the check to Google it is as simple as going into the software and lowering it to what you need. 

    You have full access to all the information you need. On top of being fully customizable, you can actually access every piece of information you want to see in real-time. The features are endless. Every moment of every day you are able to go into your campaign and see how it did that day. Just like with stocks, you can see is your business up or down on the day. Most of the time you want to aim for up and a positive return.

    Anyone can set up a Google Ads account. Google doesn’t restrict you from being out of the U.S or in a different country. It is a fully universal system that allows you to be anywhere. The best part is you don’t even need a certificate or an ‘OKAY” *THUMBS UP* from Google. All you need to do is set up a Google email and open up an Ads account to get started. This is extremely advantageous to you if you are reading this. Many people and companies run Google Ads without any management or someone who knows what they’re doing. This can give your business a boost if there is a competitor in your industry running these ads. 


    Seeing your analytics has never been easier. With Google, you are able to connect an analytics account to your ads campaign in order to see how the ads are performing. This is great because it is free and works extremely smooth. Inside the analytics, you are able to find out which campaign is bringing in the most revenue, learn what people are searching for on your site, what demographic are looking at your ad, identify the worst performing campaigns, discover if an optimized mobile landing page is needed for your campaign. Here is how a brick and mortar store would use all of these whiles using Google Ads + Analytics. Brick and mortar stores don’t want to be targeting people outside of their desired locations, that means you can narrow your ads to just a certain location. On top of that, you are able to see the demographic looking at your ads. If it isn’t who you detailed in your head or to your account manager then it is easy to re-target the campaign and keywords to better suit the campaign. Being able to see the revenue you are bringing in with analytics is key. Also setting goals for the type of conversion you want. 


    CONCLUSION


    If your business is looking for another advertising platform you should consider using Google Adwords. It is fully customizable to fit your business needs.

    Google Ads Keywords and ad groups used for a flooring company looking to generate more leads for flooring installation, flooring refinishing, & flooring repair.
    By Kyle Waters March 9, 2021
    Introduction  Should you run ads on Google or Bing? Why not both? Most people fight over which one is better, although we are not here to talk about that. Both are great and you should be on both. Bing is known for having less traffic than Google. With everything perceived wrong there is an opportunity shining bright ready for companies to take charge. In this post, we will cover everything from how/why Bing offers a lower CPC than Google to the easy inputs that Bing has put into its ad platform to allow easy automation of successful ads. After reading this post, you should be able to understand how Bing is a great place for a company wanting to get in front of more customers. Here are some statistics on why your company should be using Bing: 6 billion monthly searches 34.7% Desktop The usage is a 50/50 between male and female One advertiser found that his bounce rate for Bing-generated traffic is 8% lower than the site’s overall bounce rate. Bing recently increased its website exclusion limits from 500 to 2000, enabling better targeting and quality control. Easily import Google Ads campaign into Bing Ads What are Bing Ads? Similar to Google Adwords, Bing is a platform where hundreds of millions of searches happen each day. People of all ages still use Bing as their main search engine. Bing is the second largest search engine in the United States, which gives companies a great opportunity to get in on the low CPC (cost-per-click) and the even lower CPA (cost-per-action/acquisition/lead). The reason you don't hear many companies bring up Bing is that it is not the primary go-to for PPC Advertising. You often hear more of Google Adwords and Facebook. Let’s uncover the strategy behind Bing and how it can lead to more customers. Where Bing Advertising Thrives Bing ads thrive where no other advertising platform does. Being the most overlooked platform now, Bing offers huge potential to grow your business fast and affordably. Here is why: LOWER CPC AND CPA Bing is great for companies looking for another ad platform to grow their business on. Since Bing has a lower search query than Google that means Bing’s keywords and advertising is overall cheaper than Google. RETURN ON AD The average return on ad spend (ROAS) for Google Shopping campaigns is 751% versus 1,345% for Bing Product Ads. Searchers on Microsoft and Yahoo sites are likely to spend 21.5% more than the average web searcher The average revenue per click for Google Shopping campaigns is $3.58 versus $4.43 for Bing Product Ads. AGE DIFFERENCE Nearly 40% of Bing users are between 35-54 years old. Great industries for Bing are industries that target middle and older age people. This is a great way to lower your CPC while also lowering your CPA because you understand the audience you are looking to target. WAGE GAP This is a big one. Since the age gap is more focused on middle generations these people also prove to have more money. 33% of Bing users have a household income of over $100,000. Expensive services and products not only perform better on Bing because of the older generation the wage gap is higher than Google’s average. AUTOMATION Bing makes automation really easy. So easy a beginner that knows very little about Bing advertising can go on to the Bing advertising dashboard and set up automation. This automation includes turning on and off keywords, ads, ad groups, campaigns, and more. You can choose only to enable the campaign when… Fill in the blank… That helps you save costs and only show ads when a certain metric is being met. LOWER COMPETITION Bing ads are easily overlooked by a majority of companies. Most, don’t even consider Bing as an optimal platform to advertise on. The best attribute that Bing advertising offers is the lower competition compared to other advertising platforms. While Bing has a historically lower cost-per-click, they also have lower competition which allows your ad to show up higher in the results for the individuals who don’t use Google. There are buyers and you can get more volume to your website for a more affordable price than Google. CONCLUSION Bing gets a lot more hate than it should. It isn't talked about nearly enough in the advertising space. In reality, Bing advertising can be just as or more profitable than Google Adwords. Just because it has less traffic doesn't mean they don't have enough to make a significant difference on a business. Bing on average gets almost 900,000,000 searches every single day. That is a ton and since fewer companies are advertising in that space it leaves lots of room for your company to jump in and get in front of more customers.
