Editor's Notes
These tips, theories, and tricks are focused on search advertising, especially within Google, though best practices apply to all search ad networks.
Consistent Naming Conventions Goal: 1) Allows for High Level Insights without having to dive into the campaigns 2) Accounts are easily accessible for team account work. With enterprise accounts 2+ account managers are often working on a single account 3) Administrators or managers can easily see performance and recommend actions
Your Goal: Segment the audiences for 1) High level insights by audience , 2) More effective Enhanced CPC bidding & more effective Conversion Optimization
Organization is the key to making the rest of the SFMM work. Without organization nothing goes right and quickly at the same time.
