Creating Ad Groups for Online Advertising

For those who run pay per click (PPC) advertising campaigns, much has been written about the importance of ad group organization and calibration based on your PPC campaign targets.

To do this, you must first understand the goals and objectives of ad groups as explained and simplified here in a snapshot from the latest Pay Per Click Insider Tips article:

The Goal of Ad Groups

• To perfectly align questions (search queries) with answers (text ads)

• Every query that comes into an ad group should smack straight into some ad copy that directly and perfectly addresses its topics, issues, intent, and desires.

• It not good enough for all the keywords in an ad group to be similar or narrowly focused or contextually similar or anything else.

• If the people whose queries come into a group don’t see text ads that satisfy them, the ad group is a failure.

Now that you understand the goals of Ad Groups within your PPC Advertising Campaigns, it is imperative to understand that reorganizing and shifting things around within the groups is just as important.  Optimizing keyword groups is essential to consistently improve your quality score; which leads to cheaper costs per click and a higher ad position.

Targeting keywords that have an acceptable level of traffic and competition, (something you can effectively compete with) will help you rise up in the rankings as well as begin to tell you a story about the effectiveness of your current ad group strategy – - you will begin to see what works and what does not.
