Google Ads FAQs

Here are all the most frequently asked questions that our customers and prospects ask us

Introduction

Google Ads is an online advertising solution offered by Google to businesses to promote their products and services on Google Search, YouTube and other websites. Previously called Google AdWords and Google AdWords Express, Google Ads allows advertisers to select specific goals for their ads, such as driving more phone calls or visits to their website. Advertisers can also customize their budgets and targeting, and stop or restart their ads at any time.

optimization

It is recommended to create at least three quality ads for each ad group, with a precise structure to optimize the relevance of the ads and integrate as many keywords as possible in the titles of the ads. It is also important to use RSA ads (responsive search ads) and to select the option "Optimize rotation: prefer the best performing ads".

To track and analyze the performance of your Google Ads campaigns, use Google Ads built-in tracking tools to monitor clicks, impressions, conversion rate, and ROI. Also use third-party analytics tools for a more complete overview of your advertising performance.

To effectively target your audience on Google Ads, use demographic and geographic data to define your target audience. Also use targeted keywords to reach people who are actively searching for your products or services, and use advanced targeting options, such as remarketing and interest-based targeting, to reach more specific audiences.

A negative keyword is a search term that you exclude from your ad campaign. This helps ensure that your ad won't appear when users search for that term. Negative keywords are often used to avoid costly clicks on search terms that aren't relevant to your business.

Types of campaigns

  • Search Network Campaigns: These ads are usually in text format and appear on Google search results pages when someone searches for a product or service similar to yours.
  • Display Network campaigns: These ads are usually image-based and can appear on websites or apps that your customers access.
  • Video campaigns: These video ads are typically 6 or 15 seconds long and appear just before or while the user is watching a video on YouTube.
  • Shopping Campaigns: These ads allow online merchants to promote their products directly on Google, displaying images, titles and prices of their products on Google search results pages.
  • Max Performance: This campaign displays your ad across multiple Google advertising channels, such as the Search Network, Display Network, YouTube, and Discover, to reach the greatest number of potential customers.
  • App campaigns: These ads promote your app on the Google Play Store or Google Search Network.

When it comes to payment models, Google Ads offers several options, including:

  • Cost per click (CPC) or pay per click (PPC): You only pay if someone clicks on your ad.
  • Cost per impression: Payment is based on the number of times your ad was shown, regardless of whether the user clicked on it or not.
  • Cost per engagement: You pay each time a user completes a predefined action, such as watching a video ad.

What are the benefits of Google Ads Smart Campaigns for businesses?

Google Ads Smart Campaigns use technology to automatically monitor and improve your ads over time, which can help businesses achieve optimal results in the first month. Benefits of these campaigns include automatic bid optimization, personalized ads, multi-channel delivery, and real-time performance analysis. However, the exact timeframe for achieving optimal results depends on factors such as ad copy and local competition.

Price

Advertising costs on Google Ads vary depending on many factors, including the keywords you choose, your maximum bid, the quality of your ad, and the competition for those keywords. There is no fixed cost for Google Ads advertisements. You can set your own daily budget and bids, based on your advertising goals.

There is no minimum budget for Google Ads advertisements. You can set your own daily budget based on your advertising goals. However, it's important to keep in mind that the more you're willing to spend, the more likely you are to achieve your advertising goals.

Billing on Google Ads is based on a pay-per-click (PPC) system. You only pay when someone clicks on your ad. You can set a maximum daily budget for your ads and the amount you're willing to pay for each click on your ad. Google charges your account each time your daily budget is reached or at the end of each month, whichever comes first.

Other than ad click costs, there are no additional costs associated with Google Ads. However, it's important to keep in mind that to get good results, you might need to spend some money on creating quality ads and optimizing your ad campaign. You may also consider working with a digital marketing professional to help you maximize the results of your advertising campaign.

The best budget strategy for your Google Ads campaigns will depend on your business goals and business model. That said, here are some budget strategy options you can consider:

  1. Daily budget: You set a maximum amount you're willing to spend on your ad campaigns each day. Google Ads automatically distributes your daily budget evenly across the day.
  2. Target bid strategy: You set the maximum cost-per-click (CPC) you're willing to pay for each click on your ad. Google Ads then adjusts your bids based on that goal and the competition for the keywords you're targeting.
  3. Target CPA strategy: You set the maximum cost per acquisition (CPA) you're willing to pay for each conversion (e.g. sale, signup, or enquiry). Google Ads then adjusts your bids to maximize the number of conversions you get while meeting your CPA goal.
  4. Target return on ad spend (ROAS) strategy: You define the return on ad spend (ROAS) you want to achieve (for example, for every $1 spent, you want to generate $2 in revenue). Google Ads then adjusts your bids to maximize the ROI of your campaigns.

It is important to note that the choice of budget strategy will depend on your objectives and the characteristics of your business, as well as the competition for the keywords you are targeting. It's also important to regularly monitor and adjust your campaigns to optimize your budget and get the best possible results.

Google Ads uses an auction system to determine the cost of each click on an ad and to determine whether the ad appears in search results. Bids can vary based on many factors, such as how much your competitors are willing to pay for similar clicks, your ad's performance history, the level of competition for particular keywords, and more.

This means that while you can set a daily and monthly budget for your campaign, there's no guarantee that you won't spend more than that budget. There are two main situations where Google Ads can exceed your budget:

  1. Spending above daily budget: Google Ads can spend more than your daily budget, but will never spend more than 2 times the daily budget multiplied by the number of days in the month. For example, if you have a daily budget of $50, Google Ads can spend up to $100 in a day, but will never spend more than $1,500 (30 days x 2 x $50) in total for the month.

This happens because Google Ads adjusts daily spend based on fluctuations in keyword demand and bid, so some days may be more expensive than others, but the costs may be offset on subsequent days.

  1. Spending above monthly budget: Google Ads may be spending more than your monthly budget if you have higher-than-expected cost days and reach your full monthly budget earlier than expected. In this case, Google Ads may continue to serve your ads and charge you additional fees until the end of the month.

To avoid going over your budget, it's important to regularly monitor your campaign's performance and set bids based on your available budget. You can also set cost-per-click (CPC) limits or bid strategies to help you keep costs under control.
