1. Plan for the client
To start, we must think as our client and analize what is going on in their minds at the moment they are searching for your service. Some triggers to help you out are:
- why is he searching for it now
- what information is critical for him
- what questions he might have
- what is his role inside the company
- what will his crteria will be to make a decision
These answers will define your campaign, what language tu use, and what information to provide.
2. List some keywords
Keywords must be set correctly for your ads to show up in the right time. The work here is to determine different ways in which someone might search for your solutions. The more keywords you set, the higher your reach will be.
Think how you would ask a friend if he knows someone that might help. “Who does…”, “Looking for…”, “Where can I find…”, “… near me”, and so on.
After creating the keywords list, it helps to categorize them to have more control. These categories can be based on your different solutions and similar keywords and phrases. The idea is to display an ad specifically designed to the phrases they are searching for.
3. Create Landing Pages
The user has very little time after clicking on your Ad to find the information they are looking for. This is why we must take them to a strategically designed webpage, which we call landing page.
This landing page must show the key information about your solution, getting the attention of the user as fast as possible. We recommend solving the most common questions poeple have about your solution, that way they will have enough information to contact you directly.
Create as many landing pages as keyword categories you have from the previous step. This will increase effectiveness
4. Setup conversion tracking
Measuring clicks and contacts is very straightforward, but that is not all that can be tracked.
There are other events that must be tracked, such as clicks inside your landing page. These events usually precede a new contact, so they are key metrics to analyse during optimization.
The tracking tools we recommend are Google Tag Manager + Google Analytics.
5. Start general, get specific later
People are reaching out to Google daily, and you never know when a big client might come in. That is why it is important to have your Ads live as soon as possible.
Start simple and general, maybe just one landing page and one ad. This will allow you to launch your campaign fast. Then, with the optimization process, you could start to create more specific ads and landing pages.
6. Optimice regularly
The difference between a winning and a loosing campaing is the optimization process. As you analyse reports and make adjustments, your campaign will get more effective.
The first 2-3 months are critical, so we recommends optimizing every other week during this stage.
