If you’re in the business game, you know that driving sales is the name of the game. And when it comes to digital marketing, Google Ads is where dreams are made, and wallets are filled. But how do you crack the code and maximise your sales potential? When it comes to Google Ads sales, we’ve got you covered.
1. Keyword Research: Unlocking the Right Search Terms
Keywords are the secret weapon that can make or break your Google Ads campaign. To drive more sales, start by researching what search terms your target audience is using. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner and Google Trends to uncover those hidden gems. If you already have an active Google Ads campaign, make sure to check out the Search Terms report. See what keywords are already performing well and add any that aren’t relevant to your negative keywords list.
2. Ad Targeting: Aim for the Bullseye
Next on our list is ad targeting. To drive more sales, you need to hit the bullseye, and that means targeting the right audience. Use Google Ads features like audience targeting, location targeting, and device targeting to make sure your ads reach the right people at the right time. Then, you need to think about Audiences. Determine which stage of the marketing funnel you are targeting, and use the audience that matches. To find out more about Google Ads audience targeting, visit the Google Ads Help Centre.
3. Ad Copywriting: Words that Sparkle and Sell
Now, it’s time to unleash the power of words. Ad copywriting is an art form that can make your sales soar. Write compelling, persuasive, and irresistible ad copy that grabs attention and entices your audience to take action. Add some sparkle and pizzazz to your copy. Don’t just sell your product; paint a picture of how it will transform your customer’s life. Check out our blog: Secrets to Writing Compelling Ad Copy for Higher Conversions for some inspiration.
4. Ad Extensions: Giving Your Ads a Superpower
Picture this: your Google Ads are flying through the digital world, capturing attention left and right. But why settle for just that? With ad extensions, you can give your ads a superpower. Add sitelink extensions, call extensions, and even price extensions to provide extra information to your potential customers. It’s like giving your online store a turbo boost, taking your Google Ads from ordinary to extraordinary. It’s recommended to use at least 3 types of ad extensions: Sitelinks, Structured Snippets and Callout. While these may not work for every business, it’s important to use as many as you can.
5. Landing Page Optimization: The Art of Wooing
Your ads are running smoothly, but now it’s time to seal the deal. A well-optimised landing page is where the magic happens. Like a charming Casanova, your landing page needs to woo your visitors and entice them to make a purchase. Keep your landing page clean, simple, and easy to navigate. Optimise it for speed and make the call-to-action buttons scream “click me!”
6. A/B Testing: Putting Your Ads to the Test
You can never be too sure which ads will drive the most sales, so why not put them to the test? A/B testing is your secret weapon for finding the winning formula. Create multiple versions of your Google Ads and tweak elements like headlines, images, and calls to action. Test them against each other, analyse the results, and optimise for success. It’s like being in a lab, conducting experiments to create the ultimate sales-generating concoction.
7. Remarketing: Winning Hearts, One Click at a Time
Have you ever had a crush on a product, but you weren’t quite ready to commit? That’s where remarketing swoops in like a smooth-talking charmer. Remarketing (also known as Retargeting) allows you to re-engage with potential customers who have shown interest in your products. It’s like leaving a trail of breadcrumbs that leads them back to your website. So don’t be shy, give them a gentle nudge and win their hearts, one click at a time.
8. Conversion Tracking: Measuring Success, One Sale at a Time
How do you know if your Google Ads are driving sales or just spinning their wheels? Conversion tracking is your answer. Set up conversion tracking to measure the success of your ads and identify which campaigns are delivering the goods. So buckle up and enjoy the ride as the sales roll in. And remember, a conversion doesn’t just equal a sale, it’s anything that’s important to your business. Using a tool like Google Analytics, you can track sales, when someone began the checkout process, abandoned carts, downloaded your app, and many many more.
9. Mobile Optimization: Capturing the Mobile-First Audience
In a world where everyone is glued to their smartphones, your ads need to be mobile-friendly to capture the mobile-first audience. Make sure your landing pages are responsive, load quickly, and provide a seamless mobile experience. It’s like being a smooth operator in a crowded room, effortlessly drawing attention and driving sales from the palm of their hands.
