Google Ads Management

Google Adwords is renowned for the phenomenal outcomes it delivers to businesses, new or established. You’re targeting consumers who are ready to buy. Consumers browsing online, credit card in hand. Not only are AdWords highly visible and brilliant for brand exposure, but they also generate clicks like mad for your business..

But wait, there’s more. Around 2 in 3 people who are searching for products and are ready to purchase will click on paid ads. Now, imagine you’ve targeted that ad precisely to the audience. That’s where genuine sales really start to soar. People who land on your website from Google Adwords are 50% more likely to buy something than those who click through organic search. Your brand can benefit too, with Google studies showing the right ads improve brand awareness by as much as 80%.

Looking for real-life examples? See how Sydney-based distillery Archie Rose Distilling Co. used hyper-targeted PPC campaigns to reach the most ready-to-buy customers with products they can’t resist. OMG created and optimised campaigns to help produce 500% growth in paid ROI.

PPC worked for Vet Shop Australia too. Using customised campaigns with your Google Ads account to capture customers at the right place, right time, OMG delivered a 220% increase in conversion rate. That’s not all – we achieved 1,000% increase in click-through rate and a massive 40% increase in transactions. That’s some serious ROI.

Custom PPC campaigns really delivered for a edu-tech company too: For every dollar spent on PPC, we delivered a $10 return!

No surprises, then, that Google Adwords is a much-loved tactic for businesses of all types and sizes. Want to get in front of local consumers? Tap into Google Adwords’ geo-targeting capabilities to. Running a quick promo? Short-term paid ads will bring in sales.

No surprises, then, that Adwords is a much-loved tactic for businesses of all types and sizes. The crucial thing to keep in mind is that even if you are getting “good” results with PPC, the improvement of a simple click-through-rate (CTR) or a reduction of cost-per-click (CPC) can create better, more tangible outcomes. You can always keep optimising your account..

That’s why it takes expert knowledge of Google’s tools and analytics to create a tight, high-performance Adwords campaign that skyrockets sales, not just drive-by traffic. With Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising, as the name suggests, every click comes at a price. Therefore, it’s crucial to optimise the number of clicks that turn into sales.

The truth is, PPC isn’t something you can learn overnight and it’s easy to get lost if you don’t know how to navigate. You need specialists in Adwords who can craft hyper-targeted campaigns that zero in on only those who are ready to buy, while weeding out the tire kickers. Don’t waste your valuable budget on non-converting clicks. If you want your campaign to work in your account, it needs to discriminate between relevant and irrelevant clicks.

The ultimate goal? Spend less and earn more. A lot more for your business.

There are several reasons your Adwords might fail. One of these is the landing page. You can do everything right and attract the right people to your landing page. You’ll have an amazing CPC but your sky-high CPA will tell the real story – your landing page is sending people away.

Other hurdles might be more technical. Maybe you’re not using negative keywords effectively, which means you’re not filtering out irrelevant searches. Maybe you’re using only one ad for all audiences, rather than targeting consumers with relevant messaging. Or maybe you’re not monitoring the data to adapt your campaigns over time. There are all sorts of things that can go wrong with a Google Ads campaign which means you don’t get what you hoped for. But all these things can be avoided if you engage Adwords specialists for your AdWords account.

OMG goes beyond the basics to manage Google Ads with every account. We will create high conversion landing pages and killer copy. You can sleep easy knowing we will be monitoring your metrics to deliver non-stop optimisation for your google ads account in the duration of your campaign.

PPC and SEO might be different in many ways, but when their powers combine, they can help you better achieve marketing outcomes. There are many ways in which the two tactics complement each other to achieve your goals: more qualified traffic, higher SERP visibility and a better return on investment.

The first thing to know is that PPC does not directly affect SEO in the traditional sense. If you’re thinking that you can spend a lot on Adwords and watch your organic results soar, that’s not the way it works. Or if you think that your competitor is ranking better organically because they are spending lots with Google, again that’s not true. Google’s Search Quality team does not let paid ads directly influence how they rank pages. Simple as that.

But SEO and PPC do work together to achieve amazing re. SEO is a slow-burn strategy. While it can take some time to see results with SEO, paid search is more immediate. So, you can use a PPC campaign to offset a slow start to an SEO campaign and get more qualified traffic through to your site.

That’s not all. A study by Google found that searchers who see a paid ad are more likely to click an organic listing. The reverse is true too – if searchers see a high ranking organic listing, they are more likely to click on the ad for the same brand. Google also found that SEO affects PPC. When a website has strong organic search results, it has a higher click-through rate for PPC ads on the same search engine page.

In short, there are definite advantages to having both SEO and PPC running in sync.

Another huge advantage? Data. Lots and lots of data. When you’re running PPC and SEO campaigns at the same time, you have more data to inform your digital marketing decisions. You can even use the results from your PPC campaign to inform your SEO strategies. Pay attention to ad copy or any particular keyword that’s performed particularly well, then use this to plan your keyword strategy and SEO-friendly content for even better engagement. You could combine the data sets to delve into your target audience and it could help refine your whole keyword and digital marketing strategy. The possibilities are endless in your account.

Here’s the situation: You know you need a new PPC campaign to drive leads and conversions. And because your team doesn’t have the time or expertise, you know that hiring an agency will help you make the most of every single dollar, rather than investing in campaigns that simply don’t deliver. There’s just one thing left to do: choose the right PPC agency.

What does the “right” PPC agency look like? Great PPC agencies have one thing in common: they will be there at your side as an extension of your team, help you make the most of your paid search campaigns and strive for the outcomes you want in business, month after month.

What should you look for in the right PPC agency?

First, determine how much experience the agency has. Hint: you’re not looking for the years the agency has been in business. Even a bad agency can still stick around for a few years if it just scrapes in the bare minimum. What you’re looking for is an agency that understands PPC beyond the basics. The best indicator will be examples of how they’ve worked with similar clients to get stellar results. The agency might already have case studies on their website (you can check them here). But if they don’t, just ask them to share their stats, such as Cost Per Click (CPC), Cost Per Acquisition (CPA), and general ROI data for previous campaigns.

Next, ask whether they have any certifications. These certifications are more than just a logo on their website. Many PPC platforms (including Adwords) operate their own certification programs. So when an agency has certification, you know that they have specialists who know that platform inside out. There are lots of certifications to look for, but the main ones are Google and Facebook.

Transparency is another key attribute to look for. This obviously isn’t something you can ask the agency, as they’ll just tell you what they think you want to hear. So, a better approach is to look for signs that they are transparent and honest. Find out how the agency will report on your account. You should be able to see leads, sales, CPC, CPA, and everything in between in your adwords account. Bonus points if the agency can give you the results in a way that is clear and consistent clearly shown in your adwords account. You want an agency that can show you the wood through the trees.

How will they communicate with you? Will you have regular meetings? Are they transparent about the methods they use, or are they unwilling to share? Be extremely wary of an agency that won’t let you have access to your own Adwords account. If they don’t want you to see the raw data in the account, they have something to hide.

Don’t underestimate the power of good working chemistry. You’re going to be working with each other for some time, so you need to actually like them and trust them. You want a new agency who will become part of your team and business. First impressions are always a good indicator, but don’t be afraid to talk to some previous clients too. At the end of the day, the right energy will always take the time to get to know you and create a new strategy that delivers the ROI you want.

Absolutely! OMG is proud to be a qualified Google Partner. What does that mean for you? First, let’s look at what that is.

Many PPC platforms operate their own certification programs. AdWords divides its certification across several categories. Each category covers a different aspect of the AdWords platform:

Display advertising, search advertising, video advertising, mobile advertising, and shopping advertising.

The Google Partner certification shows that an agency has learned more about Google Ads and is up-to-date with the latest knowledge of Google’s old and new products. This last part is super important because Google changes its products all the time. If you’re working with an agency that doesn’t have the latest on search engines, your PPC campaign won’t be as effective. To prove our knowledge and earn the coveted Google Partner badge, we also needed to pass product certification exams.

Fact is, it takes expert up-to-date knowledge of Google’s tools and analytics to devise high-performance Adwords campaigns that continuously boost sales for your business, not just drive-by traffic.

As a Google Partner, we have the experience to tell you exactly what you should be spending on your Adwords campaign to reach your goals, and we can track your account as the campaign progresses to make sure you’re on target. And there’s more. Google Partners are frequently invited to exclusive events and training programs so they can sharpen their skills even more. Maybe they’ll also schedule a one-on-one with a Google Account Manager to talk strategy and optimisation tactics on behalf of their clients. All this allows us to pass our knowledge onto you, our clients.

What does the qualification mean? It means you are working with certified Adwords consultants, and that we meet Google’s standards for account management best practices. We not only know how to use Adwords, we know how to use it in a way that’s profitable for our clients. We’ve mastered the use of negative keywords, ad extensions, site links inside of ads, phrase match keywords, broad match modified keywords, split testing with AdWords, ad scheduling, and much more.

We’re not saying that an agency that doesn’t carry Google Partner certification will do bad work. They just haven’t gone above and beyond to learn about the tools they’re using to promote your business.

How do you know if an agency is a Google Partner? Look for the Partner badge on their website pages.

Bottom line? There’s no better agency recognition for PPC and search marketing than being a Google Partner. So, if you want to get the edge over your competition with a killer Adwords account, engage a certified Partner.

If you want true success, engage a Google Certified Partner.

It all comes down to your goals. We know that’s not the answer you were looking for. You’re probably after a nice and simple dollar figure that you can slot into your digital budget and present for approval. But the reality is that Adwords management costs vary based on your goals.

With PPC, as with many things in business, you have to spend money to make money. But rather than seeing PPC & Adwords management as an expense to your business, think about it as an investment. For every dollar spend in your account, focus on how much return you will get from that dollar. Naturally, the more dollars you invest in PPC, the higher the returns. But look at whether the returns are relative to the extra spend. If you double your budget, will it give you double the leads? Knowing your goals from the start will help you manage your PPC budget and get the results you want.

As a rule of thumb, the more you’re spending on Adwords, the more you’ll spend on Adwords management. Higher ad spends require more time to manage them effectively. If you’re spending $1,000 in your Adwords account, you wouldn’t expect to pay the same Adwords management fee as a client spending $10K or $20K.

Truth is, Adwords is more time-consuming than many people realise. It might be faster than organic SEO when it comes to delivering actual results, but it still requires a significant chunk of time to get right. For a profitable Adwords campaign in your account, you need a PPC ad with target copy.

The important thing is not to get caught up in the dollar figure. If you’re comparing Google Adword management fees, take some time to understand precisely what your fees include. When you look closely, you might notice that the cheap PPC management packages include less time on your google ads account. Not enough time means you’re more likely to be throwing money at campaigns that aren’t performing as well as they could, which means wasted budget.

If an agency spends less time managing google ads, they start looking for shortcuts to try and get by. They stop paying attention to the details, which can cost your business even more. Or, worse, they use tactics that go against Google’s ad management guidelines. But you won’t necessarily know this, because these types of agencies have all sorts of tricks and excuses to mask their low performance or lack of work. They’ll try to confuse you with jargon or fancy reports to keep you in the dark.

Sure, you have a budget and the price you pay matters, but what you should really be focusing on is the quality and experience of the agency you’re working with. An experienced agency with Google Partner certification and proven results is worth its weight in gold. Companies invest in their Adwords management services because they know exactly how to get your marketing to be revenue-busting.

Can you get cheaper Google ad management overseas? Absolutely. The rate can be as low as $10 to $25 per hour. But if you’re serious about your PPC and you want high returns, stay local. With overseas companies, you’ll be taking on a huge amount of risk too. Have you seen how many overseas companies there are offering PPC services and cheap prices to manage google ad? Imagine how long it will take to find one that offers professional quality services that you can trust.

Google is required by law to charge 10% GST on its services. Yep, that means it adds a 10% charge on all Adwords click budgets (cost per click, or CPC). This has been the way since 2016 and shows no sign of changing.

So, what does this mean for you? The main thing to know is that the GST is added to your account after the spend. Your budgets stay the same. There will be tax implications depending on whether you’re registered for GST – we recommend you talk to your accountant.

There are other guidelines for Google advertising, too. These aren’t secret rules that only Google and its exclusive cohort of agencies know. They’re laid out for everybody to see in Google’s AdWords Policy Centre. The whole aim of this centre is to make its policies more user-friendly and accessible to advertisers. It lays out guidelines across four categories:

• Prohibited content (what you cannot promote on the Google network)
• Prohibited practices (things you can’t do)
• Restricted content (what you can advertise, but with limitations)
• Editorial and technical (quality standards for ads and websites)

If you’re in any doubt about how serious Google is about its guidelines, take a look at the numbers. In their blog, Google’s Director of Global Product Policy, David Graff, says that in 2017 alone, they took down more than 3.2 billion ads that violated their advertising policies. That’s more than 100 ‘bad ads’ per second. Per second!

If you check out the Adwords Policy Centre, you might notice that some of the guidelines are pretty new. But the good news is they haven’t changed much from the previous policies, according to Google. The biggest changes are around weapons, tobacco, fireworks and alcohol advertising.

If you’ve advertised before, you should definitely spend time going over the new policies carefully to see what these changes mean for your Adwords campaign (if anything). If you’re new to Adwords, visit Google’s Adwords Policy Centre to become familiar with what you can and can’t do.

The great thing is, if you’re working with a certified agency like OMG, you can be confident your consultants will be all over it. We make it our business to know what’s happening in Google’s world, so we can get the best outcomes for our clients.

The reality is, with so many guidelines around the types of ads and technical requirements, working with a PPC agency can be incredibly valuable. It can help save you time and energy, not to mention the headaches of making sure your ads tick all the right boxes. With OMG working on your PPC, you can sit back and let us take care of it.
