So, You’re Ready to Get Started? Here’s What To Expect

Enter BECK Digital. We don’t mean to toot our own horn, but our crew includes one of the first certified Google Ads experts. His knack for tracking trends and adapting to the ever-evolving platform ensures your campaigns are well cared for. So, as we embark TOGETHER on this PPC journey, know you’re in safe hands. Let’s get started.

10 Terms You’ll Need To Know:

  • CTR (Click Through Rate) – Basically, out of everyone who saw your ad, it’s the percentage of those who thought, “Hey, this looks interesting!” and gave it a click.
  • Conversions – Think of it as a digital high-five. It’s when someone does precisely what you hoped they’d do after seeing your ad. (#Winning)
  • Impressions – It’s your ad’s moment in the spotlight, the number of times it graces users’ screens.
  • Landing Page URL – It’s the digital welcome mat (webpage) you lay out for folks who click on your ad.
  • Remarketing – Remember that ad that followed you around after you looked at those shoes? That’s remarketing for ya.
  • Display Ads – The visual flair! These are your vibrant, designed ads on various websites.
  • Video Ads – Action-packed ads ready to roll predominantly on YouTube.
  • Shopping Ads – It’s like window shopping, but Google-fied. (Did I just make up a word?) These ads show off your products to those searching directly on Google.
  • Search Ads – Have you ever typed something into Google and seen those top results with “AD” in tiny letters? Yep, that’s them.
  • Budget – How much you invest into your ad campaign(s) and the placement/management of your ads/budget (maybe….someone like BECK?).

Remember to save this Google Ads Playbook. Reference it when you get started, and ask questions that you need to know to feel confident in your campaign.

“Let’s focus on the bigger picture.” Google Ads is just one piece of the puzzle.

Google Ads: Part of the Bigger Digital Picture

Utilizing Google Ads in isolation is like playing just one instrument in an orchestra – it’s still beautiful, but imagine the symphony when every section joins in. Paired with a strategy that considers SEO, well-executed content, and/or a website or web app that speaks to the value of your product, the outcome is…. *chef’s kiss.* That’s why this Google Ads Playbook is important for increasing your confidence in all parts of your marketing strategy. That’s also where we come in. With several service lines to customize your well-oiled marketing strategy, we can help “conduct the orchestra” while you do what you do best.
