- There are magic words that strike the hearts of women everywhere. They make our hearts beat faster, excitement levels up…“value for money” As humans, we just love getting more for our $. Especially if we have to be clever, fast, or smart to get the best deals. Well, let me get your hearts racing with my 5 tips to get a better deal out of your PPC campaigns- whether Google or Bing.
- I want to talk about Custom labels- a fabulous tool for retailers running shopping campaigns on Bing or Google.
- A Product Target tells Bing Ads what products you want to trigger your Product Ad. You can select all products in your catalog or narrow it down by brand, SKU, or other characteristics. Custom labels are a fantastic way to add descriptors: E.g. a descriptor like ‘High margin’, can be used to set up separate ad groups with more aggressive bid prices to sell a higher volume of ‘profitable’ products.
- It’s perfectly acceptable to organize ‘catch-all’ ad groups like this…but it’s far more advantageous to separate valuable ad groups to product groupings that can be better targeted and bid against. That’s where custom labels come in.
- Rather than a catch-all product campaign for all Bluetooth speakers, we can further split this out to organize higher-performing groups for top sellers, high-margin products, limited inventory items to sell off quickly, and sale items that can be more competitive in comparison.
- Here’s a recap of why we ensure ad groups are specific: Bids can be applied independently Targeting adjusted to top geos Increase budget for top selling products Monitor low-inventory and move products out
- An optimization so fast, it’s literally the click of a mouse.
- Can also use rich captions to show up to help with SEO efforts.

- REWORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Since we’re in DC, we really should cover a debate.
- There is an ongoing debate about the inclusion of brand name keywords in search marketing campaigns. Performance of brand name keywords varies according to many factors, including the competitiveness of the industry segment.
- Note: Brand terms with very few searches were not included – hey, we didn’t want to skew the study’s results!
- Since we can see all the clicks on the page, we can tell if the clicks go to your brand, your competitor, or somewhere else.
- Our research shows that Brand term bidding helps deliver more clicks.
- Wouldn’t I receive some of those clicks anyway if I didn’t bid on my brand terms?
- Okay, so folks have been going on and on about mobile and warning about doom and gloom for years now. But because we’re a search engine, we have this wonderful internal data that no one else has…..I want to share some of our insights and then share optimizations that you can use across any channel and any search engine.
- Mobile queries are more likely to have local intent. This means that location targeting and location extensions are critically important for turning mobile searches into mobile purchases.
- On the Yahoo Bing Network, we see that local searches originating from mobile phones outpace PC-based local queries up to the 55+ category. Make sure that your campaigns and website are mobile-ready!
- Mobile consumers are looking for hyper-local results. They want to take action immediately, close by
- there is a disconnect between what mobile searchers expect and advertisers deliver. Advertisers who understand and take action on these insights have a much better chance of winning the business of mobile searchers. Try this: Evaluate KPI’s for geo-targeted campaigns Test different ad copy/offers for different radius targets For searchers within 5 miles or below, promote your location, neighborhood, etc For searchers in 25 mile radius, try offers like “free local delivery” or “same day delivery” or a promotion that will make it worthwhile to travel a longer distance For searchers farther than 25 miles, test offers like “free shipping” or “next day shipping”
- Bing Ads has the mobile products you need to reach and convert mobile consumers
- For mobile consumers, it is all about taking immediate actions in real-time and on-the-go. Guide consumers onto your ideal conversion path with Site Link Extensions. Increase click- through rate and conversions Shorten the conversion funnel and improve profitability Display up to four site links to your mobile search ads on smartphones

- The typical conversion rate for a desktop-based PPC landing page is around 3%, according to analysis of hundreds of WordStream client advertiser accounts. On average, you need to pay for approximately thirty-three clicks to get just one conversion for your business. While search marketing is very effective overall as a marketing channel, the drop-off from paid click to acquired conversion is precipitous. Mobile is much different. You can bypass this leaky conversion bucket entirely by having people call directly. People go from viewing an ad to clicking on the call extension and becoming a lead in one click. We found that the value of calls to websites from call extensions were worth three times more than clicks to desktop, on average.
- Advertisers should consider leveraging location information in optimizing their PPC strategy for mobile. For example, you could: • Adjust Bid Strategy Aggressively target locations from where people tend to purchase, such as targeting mobile searches around an airport if you’re a car rental company. • Customizing Ad Copy Tweak your ad copy based on the neighborhood where the search originated from (“Back Bay’s Best Pizza” vs. “North End’s Best Pizza”) so that your ads resonate even better.
- Searches contain near me have grown exponentially- if you have multiple locations, you can radius target– instead of targeting the entire city. The same tactic can be used to target your competitor’s locations to capture comparison shopping intent. For example, target a quarter mile radius around competing car dealerships.
- PURNA– check our blog after October 1st for more info.
- So how does Remarketing in Paid Search work: First, a user/prospect/customer will visit your website We collect that users information anonymously through our UET tag and can place that user in a Remarketing list based on your definitions (e.g. visited home page) When that user leaves, we have the data associated to that user To re-engage with them, when they conduct a search on the Yahoo Bing Network and you are bidding on that keyword, you can serve your ad to that user. It differs from display remarketing in the sense that…
- I’ll walk you through 3 audience segments that will give you the midas touch.
- Imagine you go on this magical, perfect date. You both have a wonderful time, there’s clearly chemistry, conversation just flows, sparks are in the air. You’re excited. This could be the start of something wonderful! However, weeks go by and you never hear back from your date. Heartbreak. That’s pretty much the gist of this list.
- These are folks who’ve had above average interactions with your site or have taken certain actions on the site, such as: Event-based: e.g. watched (part of) a video Duration: e.g. spent at least 2 minutes on the site Pages viewed: E.g. viewed at least 3 pages on the site Visits to key pages, e.g. S&H costs Perhaps they got distracted by the latest cat video or got distracted by Facebook and left….they’re clearly interested and have a higher likelihood of converting than general visitors who bounced quickly. So let’s win them over completely.
- Our goal is to guide them to the next stage of the purchase funnel and get them to add to the cart. It’s likely they just needed a little more information or a reminder to take the next step. Let’s fill in the blanks for them: Product reviews- review extensions
- Less stalker-ish than it sounds, this list refers to cross-channel remarketing. Spending money on TV or radio advertising? Have a social media audience you’d love to engage with? Want to retarget people who’ve seen a specific email or direct mail offer? Remarketing is a great way to create engagement lists around your various channel campaigns. Let’s take a TV advertising campaign as an example here.
- How do we retarget our offline campaigns? Simple! Add the UET tag to the custom URLs for those campaigns, such as a TV promotion or print ad.
- Reinforce the message of the TV or print ad within their search ads, to increase the chances of getting the conversion. Add a time limit or remind them the offer is for a short time only to add a sense of urgency and encourage the sale.
- This is my fav tip of all! Why let the boundaries of our site restrict us? RinPS is very affordable and can have significantly higher C-rates
- We need the power of Other Peoples’ Audiences to scale things up. The sites should be complementary, e.g. pet food vs. pet toys, so we can reach increase our share of voice amongst a relevant audience.
- PURNA Make friends, form partnerships, find mutually benefits- but try to find a way to test this out since it can drastically expand your marketing pool.
- Bid lower when a user is unlikely to convert again or to users who do not deliver any value to your business: set a bid adjustment up to -90%. NOTE: be cautious when deploying this strategy since you may lose out on traffic to your website and limit opportunities to cross sell or upsell.
- Remarketing targets your visits from all sources. around the holidays the extra competition drives up prices so remarketing can help bring overall CPAs down Ppl are bombarded with more and more ads, some good reminders and incentives to purchase might be needed to close the sale we can bid on competitor terms and grab their attention when browsing
- Now we’re going to turn to the research we’re doing into voice search. You know we’ve got Cortana, but Bing also powers web search on Siri for the iPhone. So we’re interested in what’s driving voice search, and where it’s going.
- First let’s get a good view of the voice search landscape. Who’s using it? As expected, the younger generations have embraced voice search more than others, but isn’t it a little surprising that voice search is actually being used by a pretty large percentage across demographics. I would’ve expected it to be much less than this. http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Personal-Assistants-Mobile-Users-Service/1011449/1
- Apparently, we’re lost at all times, no matter our age. Asking for directions is one of the top uses for voice search. This is supported, hilariously, by our data from Cortana queries….
- …The top voice query for Cortana is “Where am I?”
- Now that we understand a bit about the voice search landscape, let’s talk about how voice search differs from text search. Voice search is more mobile, which is a strong signal right there. We already know that our mobile audience is in a very different mind-set than our desktop searchers. Voice search is more local and more conversational. What does it mean to be more conversational? Here’s one idea…
- The use of question words – who, what, when, where, why and how make a search more conversational. If you’re typing in a query, you might type, “Satya Nadella”, but if you were speaking, you’d certainly say, “Who is Satya Nadella?”
- Key takeaway: when planning for voice search, bid for terms that indicate the searcher is closer to taking action, vs browsing or looking for information about something. If someone is asking what or who, how likely are they to be buying something, or close to buying something? Not very. It’s only as we get to the words “when” and “where” that we really drill into action. Someone who searches for “Home Depot” is in a very different place than someone who queries "Where is Home Depot.” One might be looking for price comparisons or a phone number – but “where is Home Depot” is pretty clear in its intent – and would be worth a higher bid.
- The second way that voice search differs from text search is in query length.
- Finally, another way that voice searches differ from text searches: searchers using personal assistants click on brand names. This adds to an already-compelling argument that we have for encouraging brand-term bidding in paid search.
- 1. Use question words in your keywords to drive to intent, and negative them if they don’t apply to your offering 2. Modify bids based on intent 3. Bid on your own brand terms
- Bing Ads- The gift that keeps on giving
