Why Conversions with Google Ads Can Be Challenging

A lot of people struggle to get conversions with Google Ads, primarily because they focus too much on settings such as bidding strategy and keyword match types. However, many overlook critical elements like ad creative, landing pages, and proper conversion tracking. If your conversion tracking is malfunctioning, you won't be able to gather relevant data, leading to further frustration. It’s paramount to ensure that everything is accurately set up; without the right tools in place, you may think you’re doing something wrong when, in actuality, you just don’t have enough data.

Importance of Ad Copy and Landing Pages

The effectiveness of your Google Ads is not solely based on settings; the quality of your ad copy and landing page plays a crucial role. If your ads don't attract the right people, no amount of tweaking of the settings will help. Ensure that your ad copy communicates a sense of urgency and resonates with your target audience. Additionally, your landing pages should be designed to convert; otherwise, you may be throwing money down the drain on pointless clicks.

Red Flags When Analyzing Google Ads

When I audit Google Ads accounts, there are several red flags I look for, which include:

Click-Through Rate (CTR): A CTR below 5% is a sign that your ad copy needs improvement.
Conversion Tracking: Are you tracking conversions accurately? If not, you'll miss crucial data.
Search Terms Report: Ensure you're only showing up for relevant searches.
Keyword Match Types: Relying solely on exact match keywords can limit your reach—consider using broad or phrase match as well.

Strategies for Successful Campaigns

It's essential to not just focus on Google Ads settings. Solid ad copy and high-quality landing pages can significantly reduce your cost per lead. Understanding the fundamentals—such as how many leads you can generate for your dollar—can provide helpful insights into your advertisements' performance.
