Challenges
1. High Cost Per Click Eroding Returns
The client was bidding aggressively on competitive keywords which was driving up their cost per click. This high CPC was eroding ROI on ad spend as the margins on sales could not support the high costs to acquire each new customer. Tightening up keyword targeting, lowering bids, and expanding into long-tail keywords could help improve CPC and return on spend.
2. Irrelevant Clicks Wasting Budget
The use of broad match keywords was leading to irrelevant clicks from users not in the target audience. These stray clicks wasted budget that could be better spent on qualified traffic. Using more exact and phrase match keywords can minimize low-quality clicks from overbroad targeting.
3. Lack of Conversion Tracking Hampering Optimization
Without solid conversion tracking, it was impossible to accurately determine which keywords, ads and landing pages were driving sales. This hampered the ability to optimize campaigns effectively. Implementing robust conversion tracking is crucial to connect clicks to business results.
4. Low Quality Scores Indicating Poor Ad Relevance
Low quality scores for certain ad groups signaled that ads were not relevant or useful for searchers. Copy, headlines and landing pages need to be refined to boost quality scores and improve campaign performance overall.
5. High Competition Limiting Keyword Visibility
Head terms the client was bidding on had high competition from other advertisers. This pushed their ads down the page and limited visibility and traffic potential. Expanding into new, more targeted long-tail keywords could help improve visibility.

2. Using Match Types and Negative Keywords to Block Irrelevant Clicks

- Use negative keywords to block irrelevant searches from triggering ads
- Regularly review search query reports to identify irrelevant clicks
3. Implementing Tracking to Connect Clicks to Conversions
- Implement Facebook pixel and Google Analytics to track conversions
- Connect PPC accounts to CRM to track sales directly
- Track micro-conversions like form fills and page visits
- Use attribution modeling to fully value clicks
4. Boosting Quality Scores through Improved Ad Relevance
- Improve keyword-ad relevancy by adding keywords to ad copy
- Test headlines and descriptions against search queries
- Ensure landing pages match ad messaging
- Check keyword-landing page relevancy
5. Long-Tail Keyword Expansion for Increased Relevance and Visibility
