Create an ad campaign

Clicking the Enable button on a new ad campaign could be an exhilarating as well as a dreading experience. Therefore, to launch a profitable Google Ads search campaign, follow these steps-

Your goal

Always select one goal per campaign. For example, if you want to get leads, create one campaign with a lead’s goal, and if you’re going to convert leads to sales, create a campaign with a sales goal separately.

Bid strategy and budget

Most new advertisers now use automated bidding as they find it very effective. By using automated bidding, the Google Ads system manages its data to optimize the bidding automatically. For example, if you want more leads, use the “maximize conversion” strategy. Also, you can control how much you spend by setting your campaign’s average daily budget, limiting how much you contribute overall. Manual bidding is still preferred by some long time Google Ads specialists, because of the ability to better control spend and CPA.

Check if your ads show.

Always organize your ad groups around what you think clients will search for when your ad is prompted. For a successful account organization, be sure to create particular ad groups with closely related keywords. Moreover, every ad group should have at least three quality ads to optimize and check your performance and learn what message resonates best with your viewers.
