Pick Your Goal<\/h4>\n<p>After setting up a Google account and adding your business\u2019s name and website info, the first step to get started with Google Ads is to know what exactly you want to achieve with the platform.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you want more visitors to your website, which will result in sales or sign-ups?<\/li>\n<li>Would you like more people to come by your place of business physically?<\/li>\n<li>Do you want more phone calls?<\/li>\n<li>Do you want to create brand awareness?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are all advertising goals and questions that Google will ask you when you start a campaign. The type of business you own already explains half of these goals. For example, if you are a plumber \u2013 you probably want to encourage phone calls, or if you operate an online shop, you want to attract customers to your website.<\/p>\n<p>So, start by picking the goal that\u2019s right for you and your business.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"2\">2. Know the Different Ad Types<\/h4>\n<p>If you think Google Ads is just about appearing at the top of a list when someone enters your keyword, you might be wrong. It is called the traditional \u2018Search\u2019 ad, and yes, it is still a big hit among businesses. However, if you want to stand out, you also need to know about the eight other types of Google Ads:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>App<\/li>\n<li>Discovery<\/li>\n<li>Display<\/li>\n<li>Local Services<\/li>\n<li>Performance Max<\/li>\n<li>Shopping<\/li>\n<li>Smart<\/li>\n<li>Video<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What\u2019s suitable for one business won\u2019t be appropriate for another. A hairdresser will likely use a Local Services ad, not an App ad. A thought leader who wants to push their content will probably utilize Video ads but not Shopping ads.<\/p>\n<p>This means you need to choose the ad type that allows you to share your message with the correct audience in the relevant place.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"3\">3. Set a Budget<\/h4>\n<p>Google Ads can be expensive. In the UK, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vuonline.co.uk\/how-much-does-google-adwords-cost-pay-per-click-advertising-explained\/#:~:text=Research%20from%20Wordstream%20found%20that,others%20costing%20over%20%C2%A310.\" target=\"_blank\">the average cost-per-click is \u00a31.95<\/a>\u00a0for using Google Search Network (General Google search function and YouTube). However, some clicks can cost pennies and others more than \u00a310. It all depends on the keywords.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, when it comes to managing your budget, Google makes it easy for you by allowing you to pause, edit, and stop campaigns whenever you want. However, to manage all this, you must have a maximum spend in mind.<\/p>\n<p>When setting your budget, the questions you need to ask yourself include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How much can you afford?<\/li>\n<li>What figure could you make from the campaign if it all goes to plan?<\/li>\n<li>How long do you intend to run the campaign?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our advice, especially for your initial campaigns, is to start by using daily budgets. These generally work well for smaller businesses that have only a few campaigns running at the same time.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"4\">4. Think Like Your Target Audience<\/h4>\n<p>You may think you have a good idea of the keywords that are appropriate for your business, but did you think about the terms that your customers are using?<\/p>\n<p>When setting your keywords, it\u2019s all too easy to assume that your clients share the same level of expertise as you. This way, you may use sector-specific terminology. But, the people you are trying to target probably don\u2019t have the level of expertise you do.<\/p>\n<p>You need to think like your audience. Avoid complicated terms that only industry experts will understand (unless these are the people you are targeting), and instead, use words and phrases that a layman would use.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of keyword tools available, often free, that will help you find the right keywords for your business. Be sure to take advantage of these.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"5\"><strong>5. Don\u2019t Use Broad Match Keywords<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>At the same time as avoiding jargon, you also need to ensure that your keywords aren\u2019t too broad. Broad keywords don\u2019t target a specific audience but a large one. For instance, if you sell children\u2019s clothing, you may assume that \u2018children\u2019s clothes\u2019 is a safe bet. However, it\u2019s a very broad term. In this instance, you would be far better off bidding on terms targeting specific clothing items, like pocket leggings, red dresses, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, if you specialize in selling second-hand technology, instead of focusing on broad keywords and terms like \u2018restored smartphones\u2019 or \u2018second-hand gaming consoles\u2019, use specific model names. This way, you will connect with people who are interested in exactly what you are offering.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"6\">6. Use Negative Keywords Efficiently<\/h4>\n<p>Google Ads allows you to add lists of negative keywords to your campaigns. These words and terms are associated with your business\u2019s industry but not exactly with your business. If you apply negative keywords, your ads will not appear for anyone who is searching for them, saving you money and the user time.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at an example. If you are an online tutor who teaches GCSE Maths and Science, you will not want your ads to reach someone studying GCSE History or any A-level topics. Therefore, by curating a list of negative keywords (in this case, \u2018GCSE History\u2019 and \u2018A-Level\u2019) and adding these to your campaign, you ensure your ad reaches your target audience.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"7\">7. Create Flawless Ad Content<\/h4>\n<p>Ultimately, everything is about the quality of the ads you create. You can tweak campaigns, reset budgets, and update keywords, but if the ads you produce aren\u2019t good enough, you will not meet your goal. They are the focus of your campaigns and should not be an afterthought.<\/p>\n<p>You need to carefully consider headlines, descriptions, and imagery (in the case of visual ads). Carry out research by looking at what industry leaders and competitors are doing,<\/p>\n<p>as well as casting an eye over what other businesses, away from your sector, do.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What sort of language do they use in the headlines?<\/li>\n<li>Do descriptions repeat the message of the headline, or does the content shift?<\/li>\n<li>Do others mention prices and specific services?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ask yourself if you want to follow these guidelines or if you are going to attempt something a little different. Only then should you sit down and dedicate the necessary time to writing your ads.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"8\">8. Direct Users to the Right Site<\/h4>\n<p>Have you ever clicked a Google Ad only to be taken to a location that doesn\u2019t relate to the content you clicked on? Frustrating, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>A key part of creating ads that bring results is thinking about the user\u2019s whole journey, from seeing the ad to selecting it and then being directed to a place that makes complete sense. If you fail to get that final step right, the click will be pointless, as the user will be confused and simply drop out.<\/p>\n<p>When the ad is about a specific service, send the reader to its dedicated page. When the ad highlights an article you have written, send the reader to the article. When the ad mentions a special offer, send the reader to a page that references this offer.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"9\">9. Regularly Analyze and Tweak Ads<\/h4>\n<p>Finally, if your ad isn\u2019t working, do not be afraid to pause the campaign and make necessary updates or, if required, abort the campaign and start a new one.<\/p>\n<p>A key to Google Ads success is recognizing that you won\u2019t be correct every time. When something isn\u2019t going to plan, rather than sit back and watch your budget whittle away, take action as soon as you can.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all about analyzing, acting accordingly, and then taking knowledge learned from previous campaigns into new ones.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>That\u2019s how to use Google Ads for your small business.
