Paid Search Marketing (aka PPC / pay-per-click) networks such as Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing are becoming increasingly complex to optimise, and it isn’t getting any easier.
Many billions are spent around the world by advertisers seeking to maximise search engine visibility, but when your competitors have deeper pockets than you how can you possibly compete? And where do you start?
You start here, that’s where.
Our Paid Search Marketing (PPC) Best Practice Guide will help ..... |
The main strategies which will help create effective creative for paid search and to optimise your campaigns are:
Strategy 1. Ad creative and copy strategy
Effective creative development for paid search text ads is a great challenge for the copywriter. In Google Adwords you have just 95 characters to be creative with your creative text 25 for the headline hyperlink, 35 each for the first and second description line and a further 35 characters for the display URL. Even SMS marketers have more characters to play with! It is also a challenge since potentially tens, hundreds or even thousands of ads may have to be written.
In this section, we cover how to create and optimise stand-out ads which generate the right clicks for you.
Strategy 2. Destination or Landing page strategy
