PPC - Fixing the campaign so ads always rank in positions 1 - 3
-
Hi everyone,
I have more of a SEO background than a PPC one so excuse me if this question seems simple. I have inherited a Google Adwords campaign and want to accomplish the following
Fix the campaign so the ads only appear in positions 1 – 3. The campaign came with a relatively good structure.
Is there some way I can fix the settings to accomplish this? Conversion rates are high but quality scores vary from 6 -10
Thanks

Hi Andy,
Unfortunately I do not use any 3rd party software programs. Thanks for the tip on positions 4 -10. I will look at the conversion rates before moving the ads up. What do you consider an acceptable overall quality score for an ad group?
Thanks

Hi
You have found the way using the Adwords interface. However are you just using the Adwords interface or have you got any other third party software like Double click etc.
Its very simple in software like that, you can add rules to say if not in position 1 -3 increase bids by 'x'% or x amount (I always go with a % increase personally).
I would check the ones you are pausing as sometimes being in position 4 - 10 on certain keywords actually convert quite well. I have one keyword that performs best in position 5 (I don't know why and can't explain it, but I am not going to change it).

And I know the links are not followed. I'm not trying to get exposure, it's just easier to let you see the video and the bullet points we touch on then type it all here from my mobile. Let me know if this helps! If you need more, I also can get our main PPC manager to chime in and help.

Is this PPC claim true?
I want to optimise our marketing spend and was concerned about the high conversion rate of one of our products. When I suggested stopping PPC I was offered this advice: 'It is vital to keep spending on brand terms to prevent competitors bidding on your brand terms and taking the top positions' This this true and if so why would anyone want to bid on our brand terms?

Adwords: Decrease mobile bid for only certain ad groups?
In one of my AdWords campaigns, I've noticed that certain ad groups consistently convert twice as badly on mobile devices as other ad groups do. Is there a way to adjust mobile bidding only for certain ad groups, or can you only control this campaign-wide?

PPC for a music shop - advice
Hi, I'm pretty new to this but I'm doing my best, so I've created a few campaigns such as 'Guitars' and 'Drums' and started to add keywords to each one such as 'buy guitars online' etc would it also be wise to add brands to this campaign? or should I create a completely different campaign focusing solely on brands? What would you recommend? Thanks, Dan

Keyword Domains for PPC
I have a client who wants to buy a lot of long domains with keywords in them, for example, thesandiegopetstore.com (this is fictional) and then set up a PPC landing page for each. They think that when someone types in "san diego pet store" that their domain will be listed high and then they will get a lot of traffic. My concern is that they will own a lot of domains for their company and I thought Google is getting pretty adamant about companies not having a lot of domains, and I thought that keyword domains are not as effective as they used to be -- that branding is more important now. Also, I think the domains they've picked target very competitive keywords and that perhaps they will get a lot unqualified traffic and will still have to pay for the clicks. What do you think? What is the best way to set up PPC landing pages?
