What is a good CTR for a Google AdWords Remarketing banner campaign?
-
Hello there, given that in the banners we offer a promotion with "some bonus if you sign up", what is from your experience a good CTR for a Google AdWords Remarketing banner campaign?
Many thanks to everyone that answers.

Many thanks Rui, we'll try Yahoo! and Bing advertising.

I have no idea what a good CTR would be for the fields you mentioned
You should start the campaigns, split test different ads with different images, headlines, CTAs etc for your remarketing campaigns and keep improving your CTRs
Is in your opinion the Remarketing a good solution, in terms of increaseing the PPC budget by a reasonable profit margin for these 4 market fields (a, b, c, d )?
if the website is set up correctly, then remarketing can work well for all of these. if it's leather bags and they added the bag to the checkout but didn't proceed, then you can target these people specifically and lure them back to the website to finish the transaction.
I assume with automotive the objective is to get their contact details in which case remarketing will work well
Which kind of PPC (other than AdWords) would you use for them?
well i don't know the specifics of the business so it's difficult to say
for online printing, if it involves printing photos, then fb marketing can work well. leather bags could also work well on fb
beds and mattresses -- you could try yahoo & bing advertising as you would probably get lower cost/click than u would on adwords

We have different products for different clients and the purpose of the initial question was to understand (if exists) a kind of "cross-sectorial" typical CTR for a Remarketing campaign based on the average of real data of other PPC professionals.
Right now have several remarketing campaigns running for different clients, specifically we would like to know what do you think to be a good CTR for this market fields:
a) Automotive (high profit margin for each acquisition).
b) Online printing (low profit margin for each acquisition).
c) Beds and mattresses e-commerce (high profit margin for each acquisition).
d) Leather bags (medium profit margin for each acquisition).Is in your opinion the Remarketing a good solution, in terms of increaseing the PPC budget by a reasonable profit margin for these 4 market fields (a, b, c, d )?
Which kind of PPC (other than AdWords) would you use for them?
Many thanks.

Monthly subscription indeed!
Customer value is around $190 at the moment and remarketing brings them in at around $19 at last count
What product/service are you thinking of using remarketing for?
-
Many thanks Rui for sharing with us your data! It's very helpful for us!
Anyway, which kind business model do you have for your "education product"? Monthly subscription?
-
I run an education product.
I'm getting around 0.81% on the remarketing campaign over the last 30 days but conversion rates are crazy -- I'm getting triple the normal conversion rates.
I don't know if the CTR is a good one but compared to normal display campaigns where I get around 0.20-0.27%, it's a much higher CTR than what I usually get
-
Thank you Logan, we're aware that the CTR depends on a ton of factors, we just needed to listen about some real-world CTR from other marketers that had run Google AdWords remarketing campaigns.
Many thanks for your answer!

This is almost too vague of a question, because CTR is really dependent on a ton of variables, such as:
-
Perceived value of said "bonus"
-
Industry served
-
How specific, or broad your targeting is
-
Do you cap your impressions?
-
Branding and brand recognition (does it look familiar to the viewer - do they recall your message your brand, what your product is all about?)
-
The design/interactivity of the ad
Remarketing campaigns can vary significantly on those factors (and probably others), but if you can achieve 1% that would be pretty impressive IMO. Realistically, most the remarketing campaigns I've run (healthcare industry) end up .01-.75% CTR.

Top of funnel google ads campaign not hardly converting, why?
Hi, I really hope someone can help me with this. I'm running two search ad campaigns and a google shopping campaign in google ads. The search campaigns are targeting top-of-funnel keywords as the business doesn't have universally known collections which everyone would search for so they are just unique to my business. So the campaigns are driving traffic but really converting whereas google shopping is converting because searchers are looking for particular products so they're lower down the funnel closer to aking a purchase decision. I feel I've optimised the campaign well and for the most part, most keywords have 7/10 quality score. The landing page seems fine. However, our offering wasn't as strong as competitors so we've offered a discount the same as them to compete. Since I started google ads we have nearly doubled our monthly revenue and the product types targeted in campaigns have increased in quantity sold so it seems it's having an effect but the campaigns aren't showing a good performance. Does anyone have any suggestions or input that could help me? I looked at first interaction attribution model and even there it's not performing well which makes this even more difficult to resolve. I'm thinking I should enable USER id feature in Google analytics so i can track signed in users across devices which may then help attribute sales to paid search channel as I saw in search console that the keyword that generates the most traffic to the site is our brand name and we're not a well-known brand so makes me think they may be starting their buyer's journey on a work computer on their mobile and finishing on their computer at home as an example. However, I don't believe this will be the main cause or solution as I would only have data for signed in users which still won't give me the full picture. Also if the campaign is optimised effectively but conversions are minimal could not having many conversions affect quality score? If someone can help or provide me with a different perspective it would be much appreciated. Please let me know if I need to clarify or explain further. I hope I've made myself clear. Thanks, T

Do IP and/or DNS changes impact Paid search (Adwords, Bing, etc.)
What impact (if any) does IP or DNS changes, have on paid search campaigns? We recently performed an upgrade to our sites that required a datacenter change (but within the same region East US) and DNS change. We believe there may have been an impact to our ad campaigns in the form of suppression of our ads following the change, specifically - Google Adwords. Is there any information regarding this issue or has anyone experienced this before? Thanks

301 Redirects and Google Shopping Feeds
I am moving my site from Volusion to Shopify. The domain remains the same but the URL paths are different. With respect to my Google Shopping feed, is it best to send old URLs (with 301 redirects) or to send the new URLs?

Can a third-party advertising agency lock me out of Adwords?
Hey all, I've just started at a new company. We spend quite a bit on Adwords and I'm tasked with seeing how that is going and assessing that spend. The problem is, Adwords and Youtube ads have been given to a third-party advertising agency. They are only willing to share the number of clicks, cost and conversions, stuff like that. They refuse to give us access to the account. Is this legal? I mostly want to get in there to look at keyword history, see what we have bid on, how often it was searched, stuff like that. But they won't let us in and I'm wondering if they are required to let us look at our account as I would think they are. Please help!

How to track in Google Analytics 2 different subdomains (one for website, the other for PPC landing pages)
Hello Mozers! I have a website with organic visits/goals on www.site.com and a few AdWords Campaign landing pages on lp.site.com whose goals are tracked with both adwords conversion monitoring AND analytics (not imported from analytics into Adword). The landing pages of the campaign have nothing to do with the web site (different cms, they don't link each other, totally isolated) and viceversa. Given that, what would it be the best practice to configure Google Analytics to track the website (www.site.com) AND a PPC campagin (lp.site.com)? I have been told to set up different views of the same property, but do I really need that? Please let me know what are you thinking. Thank you very much. DoMiSoL Rossini

OK to have a modal pop-up on an AdWords landing page?
We're about to launch an AdWords campaign targeting users who are searching for hand-crafted furniture. The website we're sending users to has a large inventory of furniture, and all if it is hand-crafted. But there currently is no page on the site specifically communicating that all the furniture on the site is hand-crafted. So, rather than dump the user right into browsing the inventory, we want to put an intermediate step in place to say, in essence, "Hey, welcome, yes, we have lots of handcrafted furniture. In fact, all of it is hand-crafted. Here, have a look around." The art director on the project is suggesting that a modal pop-up would be perfect for this scenario. It would greet the user, who could then dismiss the pop-up and move into the site. I have two concerns about using a modal, though: Does a modal violate Google's policy against pop-ups that open new windows? Assuming we trigger the modal using Javascript, will AdsBot have any trouble crawling the content of the modal, such that it could hurt the landing page component of our quality score?

CPC or CPM for Google Display Network?
HI all I'm setting up my first Remarketing campaign on the display network. I'm targeting those that have visited a specific product page at the moment and therefore there won't be a massive amount of traffic to remarket to - roughly no more than 50 clicks/day. My question is - what is the best bidding option for a campaign like this? Not sure whether to go for CPM or traditional CPC. I have previously found CPM much better for Facebook but obviously thats very different to Google. All help appreciated!

Adwords Bulk Discount
Had a few calls recently from agencies offering bulk discount on Google Adwords spends if we pass management over to them and spend more than £5,000 ($7,500) a month, they claim they can offer a 5% discount over what we're currently paying... Can't find anything about this, does Google offer such a deal to agencies?
