Monitor your campaign – and your the competition

It has been said, chase the dream, not the competition. Your first priority should be on your own agenda and your own mission.

However, watching your competition is smart business and you can easily track the historical ad data of your competitors through the use of some simple tools such as SpyFu and Keyword Spy.

Beyond that, you are going to want to track the AdWord conversion rates of your own ad campaign. This way you can pick up on any inconsistencies or gaps in the campaign. It means you can react quickly where money spent is not delivering the return you had hoped for.

There are three reasons for implementing conversion tracking:

  • So you can monitor your per conversion costs
  • To Improve your ROI and identifying your top performing keywords
  • To view and optimize the most popular ad clicks across devices

These tools will give you a bright glance of keywords, used by your competitors and their performance analysis.

You may also scrutinize the ad copy of your competitor to know the ads that resonate with your audience and differentiate your company in the marketplace.

Use a powerful USP

Your unique selling proposition helps you in differentiating your business from the competitors while allowing your prospect to choose you.

In other words, a USP is a way to create a compelling reason for your chance to choose your business over any other available option. It is your way of attracting the right audience.

You USP can help in generating the traffic of qualified prospects. Similarly, high USPs skyrocket the rate of sale conversion for your AdWords campaign.

You need to be able to answer the question, “What makes my product or service outstanding?”

Is it the size or quantity of the product or service you are offering? Is it the customization of the product or service? Do you have skills or are you in a position where your product or service makes you unique in your industry?

Answering these questions is going to help you establish your unique selling point which will become pivotal in your Google AdWords campaign and prevent you from investing poorly.

Use compelling advertisement

With AdWords campaign, you only pay when a person clicks on your ad.

Therefore, it is very crucial that your designed ads must attract only qualified prospects and avoid the wastage of ad budget by repelling unqualified prospects.

Also, ads with high CTR (click through rate) improve the AdWords quality score which will ultimately lower the CPC (cost per click) of the keywords, therefore, create a compelling ad to reduce the cost instead of raising it.

With the help of above-shared techniques, you can increase the success chances of your AdWords campaign.

However, launching an AdWords campaign is always a difficult decision as it was difficult to predict and contain no guarantees.
