Tribalism's view on Google Ads

1. Google Ads are taking up all the top of page real estate

In many respects, Google Ads is a necessary thing. Ideally you'd rank #1 organically and not need to rely on buying google ads. But the reality is the Google ads now take up the first 4 ranking slots on many search results. Add in a location map and the first organic result can often appear below the fold!

2. You will lose money and have no impact doing it half-heartedly. Google Ads are very complex to manage.

Given businesses need to be there, they often do so grudgingly and try to get their ads up at minimum effort and minimum cost. In our experience this is dangerous! Yes you can rush up some campaigns and let them run... but there will be many unforeseen issues. Google Ads is not cheap - if you get the wrong people clicking on your ads, you still have to pay for them. Even if they leave your site immediately after landing there, it doesnt matter! Wasted budget is a huge problem.

That's only one issue. The setup, ongoing management and ongoing strategy of google ads - is extremely complex! Here are some things you need to consider:

• Responsive Search Ads - Google no longer uses Expanded Text Ads. This means you need to have 15 different headlines to achieve a high Ad Quality. Why is high ad quality important? It is a component of quality score. Why is quality score important? If you have a low quality score your ad 'wont be shown' ... or you'll have to pay exorbitant costs to get them shown.
• What are your competitors doing? - have your costs gone through the roof? What is going on? Is there a new competitor in the market? Are your current competitors outperforming you? In what way s are they ourperforming you?
• Conversions/Strategy - have you set up conversions? Do you have offline conversions? Are you importing these? What bid strategy are you using? Maximise conversions? Target CPA? What figure should you be using for Target CPA?
• Locations - what cities, countries? what radius do you want to consider? Do you want to include people in or interested in your location. Generally not, yet this is the google default! You need to turn this off.
• Call Extensions - you need to verify your business on Google My Business first beofre you can add a phone numebr to your ads! How is your current GMB looking?
• Ad Schedules - what days/times do you want to show your ads? Have you set up an ad schedule?
• Ages/Gender/Interest Groups - do you want to factor in these demographics/features to your campaigns?
• Google Search Partners - do you want to be shown on the likes of ebay also? Google Ads defaults to have search partners like eBay turned on!
• Display/Youtube - do you want your search ads appearing here as 'display ads'? Having these on is also the default setting by Google, you need to turn these off manually.
• Business Logos - you need to make sure these are the right size, right quality, right visibility - google has very strict requirements here
• Sitelinks - 35 character limit per each description. Are all your links working? Are they relevant to this campaign? You dont want to spray and pray these when the competitition is tight.
• Sheer number of campaigns, ads and ad groups - you can only set locations at campaign level - so for every different location that you want to target with different messaging eg "plumbing services sydney!" you need to have a different campaign!! Think about how many campaigns, ad groups and ads you need for all the keywords and services you provide or are interested in. For even moderate accounts you need hundreds, often thousands!

All of these factors and more combine to make search engine ads very complex to manage for any account above the most basic of levels - ie 95% of cases!

3. Offshore Managers are a big risk!

Many local australian companies will offer google ads services... and then offshore everything to cheaper workers. Even if this gets you a much cheaper rate, it is nowhere near enough to make up for the lost revenue from mistakes and missing campaign targets completely. In the vast majority of cases, cheaper low skilled workers for very complex tasks like search engine marketing management will cost you dearly.

It *is* possible to integrate off shore resources into successful search campaign management, but you need well trained staff and very close communication and oversite from local staff to achieve decent results. Other factors include different timezones and cultural considerations - the way ads are written are crucial to their success.

Which is why, if you want the best campaign management you need local staff working on them. This is what Tribalism delivers. Local staff and the most experienced data people in the field.

Please note: Tribalism only accepts a limited book of SEM clients. We appreciate the complexities involved and request that clients consider this and the resources required to do a good job here.
