Google Ads is a shortcut to high-ranking search results

Every day, over 30 million Google searches are performed in Finland alone, and the competition to score the top spot in the search results can be tough! Utilizing Google Ads in a productive way takes time and skill. Take a moment to consider what you’re trying to achieve and how much you’re willing to invest, both in terms of time and money.

Keyword match types determine the level of visibility

There are three keyword match types in Google Ads:

  1. Broad match
  2. Phrase match
  3. Exact match

Ads will be matched with keywords based on the match type. The broad match type works well when you want your ad to come up with many different search terms while the exact match type is great for when you only want to show your ads to users searching for specific keywords. Phrase match is a happy medium between these two. The best results are often achieved when you start off using broad match. This helps you identify what keywords or synonyms your potential customers are using.

Consistently analyzing the results will get you closer and closer to more exact match types. They will help you get maximum ROI out of your keywords in the long term. Often exact, good-quality keywords are worth paying extra for because it’s easier to predict their profitability.

It’s also worth it to include negative keywords to stop your ads being displayed with certain search terms.

Example

Let’s look closer at the difference between the match types. If the keyword for the ad is “car insurance” it can be matched with the following search terms:

Broad match

  • car insurance price
  • motor vehicle insurance price
  • collision cover for car

Phrase match

  • car insurance for new car
  • insurance for car

Exact match

  • car insurance
  • cheapest car insurance
  • best car insurance

Measuring results and optimizing Google Ads

It’s difficult to optimize and develop advertising without functioning web analytics. Our preferred tools for measuring the results of advertising are Google Analytics and Tag Manager. We set up targets in Tag Manager and feed them through to Google Ads via Google Analytics. When the analytics set-up has been done correctly, we can identify exactly which keywords or ads have performed well and which ones haven’t.

We will set up advertising objectives together with you and ensure that conversion tracking is aligned with our shared goals. The most common B2B KPIs are leads, submitted forms, sales and contact requests. With Google Ads, we can determine together how much you are willing to pay for one conversion.

We optimize advertising by excluding keywords that have not brought in sales or conversions. We A/B test advertisements and make sure that there are multiple variations in use for each target group. When it comes to bidding, we favor automation, as long as we know the price of a conversion. We always optimize the budget with profitability in mind.
