Keyword Ad Groups
April 28-30, 2014
Using Single Keyword Ad Groups To Drive PPC Performance
Not Really
(gasp)
First a quick refresher on what we
mean by long-tail keywords…
LONG-TAIL KEYWORDS
WHY NOT HAVE MORE?
ACCOUNTS ARE UNWIELDY
ACCOUNTS ARE UNWIELDY
ACCOUNTS ARE UNWIELDY
Most of this stuff is pointless!
YOU’RE SPREAD THIN
Wasted Time Zone
YOU’RE SPREAD THIN
3 REASONS FOR LONG-TAIL
1. AD COPY RELEVANCY
Can we really make an ad for “ppc management
agency that does display marketing” more
relevant than for “ppc management agency
display”?
3 REASONS FOR LONG-TAIL
2. CONTROL OVER BIDDING
Should you bid up a keyword with 1 click and no
conversions in the past month? Should we bid it
down?
3 REASONS FOR LONG-TAIL
3. THEY WORK WELL IN YOUR
NICHE
Dive into your data to see if this is true…
CHECK OUT YOUR DATA
CASE STUDY
Client Goal: Lead Generation for
people looking to buy Audi cars
