10 Secrets to Ads Global BEST PRACTICE

Fourth of Four Introductory Articles by James Parnwell of TheOnlineCo.

Google Ads for Your Business

Google Ads.

If you’ve been following this series, you’ll remember how I took Marge from spending $2,000 a month on Ads and getting a result of exactly zero to spending $1,000 and getting 17 leads the first month, landing an exciting return on investment!

But after being a Google Ads Certified Professional for seven years now, I’ve seen this over and over and over. I’ve seen people go from zero to 20x return on investment. There’s nothing that makes me feel better.

It really wants to make me reach out and help more people, and that’s sure true of everyone in our business, TheOnlineCo.! But in reality, you can’t help them all. There’s no time!

So let’s review before learning the fourth Secret. You’ve learned three critical Secrets to making money with Ads:

1. Do some Old-School Marketing Analysis.
2. Your Google Ads campaign: Set Up Strong.
3. Keywords Matter. 

And this is the last Secret we’re giving away in this series – it’s going to make your Ads efforts pop out like a Jack-in-the-Box. Ads is not a get-rich-quick scheme, but it can sure help when you put in the work:

4. Create Google Ads Copy that Sings.

Let’s go for it!

Secret #4 – Ad Copy that Sings

Ads gives you a title and two lines of 35 characters to work with! Wordsmithing the wonders of your business to fit into this tiny space can be a bit of a challenge at times, but don’t be dismayed. We set up strong in Secrets #1 & #2, so we can pull together some simple and compelling ad copy quite easily.

In the Title you can just put the following text:

{Keyword: AdGroup Name}

Replace “AdGroup Name” with the actual AdGroup name i.e., Investment Home Loan. This means that the keyword that the potential customer types in will be substituted for the title. This makes the ad instantly more compelling!

In order to make some copy for the next 2 lines, I would suggest looking back at the notes you made from Secret #1 about your USPs and consider what it is that you do better or differently that your clients will really like. If you don’t know what your clients really like, then guess and write down your guesses. You get to test your ideas against real customers now!

Build a few ads with various ad copy in them. Capitalise every word! Google have tested this extensively and found that capitalised words get more clicks. Make sure the ad ends with a call to action, e.g. “Call Today!”

You should have a minimum of three ads per AdGroup. Ads will automatically choose which one works best with customers based on which gets the most clicks, and will show that one the most. So Google will do the split testing (also known as A|B testing) for you.

Now duplicate the one that works best and click the checkbox that says mobile. This will mean you have a preferred ad for mobile devices.

Secret #4 – Ad Copy that Sings

• Use the {Keyword: Modifier}.
• Capitalise every word. It’s not annoying when it works.
• Use the USPs from Secret #1 to write excellent ad copy. 35 characters per line is not much, but it’s enough!
• Split-test your ad copy to see which works best.

Ads is like getting a haircut. It’s easy to do yourself, but you probably shouldn’t!
