What are /r/adwords' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Honestly, they are probably very selective on who they give permissions to and it sounds like it doesn't include small tutoring businesses. You may have to use other words like College Testing Prep and whatnot. If not, your ads will be either rejected or accepted but limited and your ads won't show like normal ones. I would use SEMrush.com to search for similar keywords and review their search volume to see what words will get you around that block.

It's from a Google My Business page. You will need to create one of those first from https://www.google.com/business/?ppsrc=GPDA2 and need a G+ account. You don't need a gmail though, any email is fine.

Once you have created the page there are some basic things you can do to optimise the page and increase your chance of showing up for different search terms. E.g. Having an address close to the location of users searching, having a large amount of high rated reviews, a website that is relevant to the GMB page and of high quality too.

1. Update to HTTPS
2. Test your mobile website with https://testmysite.thinkwithgoogle.com (any issues here is the likely culprit of falling Landing Page Experience QS)
3. Check PageSpeed Insights https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
4. Do a technical On-Page SEO Audit of your website
5. Do you have H1s, Title Tags, Meta Descriptions?
6. Do images have custom Alt Text / Title Text / File Names?
7. Are you images optimized / minimized to reduce load times?

I would suggest 2 books

https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Guide-Google-AdWords-Million/dp/1599184419

and

https://www.amazon.com/AdWords-Bible-eCommerce-Counting-Clicks-ebook/dp/B00P714WTC/

Then just spend money that you would pay for the $1000 course on actually running a campaign.

Have nothing to promote? Just pick bestselling item from amazon, create your own mock website and try to sell it there.

Will be worth 100x than actual course

+1 For this Udemy course. If you are looking for something more advanced you can have a look at my book Advanced Google AdWords Strategy, published on Amazon. Thank you

When a new app (production release approved) on Google Play Store, first it is indexed by Google Firebase, then Google AdMob and then it is indexed by Google Ads in 24 hours. You should only need to wait at least 1 day to try setting up your Google Ads campaign for your app. You will be able to link your app to Firebase, AdMob and most of other Google services while you Google Ads will typically takes 24 hours to allow you to run a campaign.

I've tried indexing the app via Google Search Console and adding the hotlink directly to the Google Ads like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.app It didn't help.

My guess is that depending on your app's target countries, it is taking 24 hours to be available to download globally so that's why even if you see your app is listed, Google Ads is giving you that warning.

Also related to this, I've seen some of my apps were indexed by Google Ads without their App Icon and they were alive for app install campaigns, it was really weird, spam-looking ad assets on live but then I realized the users seeing those ads were displaying it correctly. Yet again, it means there is around 24 hours indexing time for Google Ads for apps that had just been approved for production.

Only book I ever read on it. It is out of date in terms of many specific platform features, but the concepts are still highly applicable in my opinion.

Not directly. Here's the AdBlock Plus page about Acceptable Ads:

https://adblockplus.org/acceptable-ads

Let me quote the relevant section for you:

>Will all "acceptable" ads be unblocked?

>No. Unfortunately, it isn't technically possible to recognize ads that meet our Acceptable Ads criteria automatically. We have agreements with some websites and advertisers which stipulate that only advertising matching our criteria will be displayed when Adblock Plus users visit these particular sites. These ads will be unblocked (i.e. added to the Acceptable Ads exception list which is enabled per default). No applicant will be favored or treated differently, and no one can buy their way onto the whitelist. Everyone must comply with the criteria and everyone goes through the same process before the ads qualify as "acceptable".

Some display ads placed through AdWords may appear on sites that have Acceptable Ads agreements, but I don't think there's a rigorous way to target those.

Hey Matt thanks for answering. That's what we do most of the time.

For some reason if we have a group of 3 ads where 1 is a call ad, it rarely gets triggered.

Here you can check how many calls supposedly the Smart Campaign is generating https://www.screencast.com/t/rWyQAguBYE

I’ve had this happen to me dozens of times on clients accounts. Usually altering the ads slightly and resubmitting them gets them approved with no issues. My go to is add an exclamation point somewhere then remove it

Sometimes the cause can be a slow site that causes Google to think it’s not working. I ran your site through Google’s speed tester and while it’s not terrible there is room for improvement

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.meinewohnkabine.de%2F&tab=mobile

Check out SEMrush.com. It's far from perfect and won't cover all keywords but it's about as good as it gets as far as competitive intelligence goes. We use it extensively for our clients.

This is off-topic for this group but I think you're looking for https://www.google.com/business/

There are a few "tricks" (they're not really tricks but rather good practices) that you should learn about to hopefully get short-listed in the Google "3 packs". Search for "local seo" and the like to find resources related to this.

Unlike some other AdWords automation, I believe Google has done a wonderful job of dialing in UACs. Just fix your banners, it'll take you 15-minutes even if you're not sure what you're doing! Use Paint.net (free) to resize, crop, or whatever to get this done quickly and easily. If you need brand new assets try Canva.com, super quick and easy banner creation tool.

You'll get way better performance this way instead of trying to workaround your banner issue.

I would recommend you Isaac Rudansky course on udemy.com. It's not for free but it has a lot of information and he tries to explain you every part of tutorial. He really goes into small details, you can also interact with him if you have any questions by sending him e-mail.

Check the metadata. It does not look perfect for me.

Stage 3 on this topic may help you.

Best of luck u/Oli_Gizzle. A few thoughts for you. -- Go to community events in your local market (or online right now) and meet others in the field -- Yep, get certified -- I read this book (older version) https://www.amazon.com/AdWords-Workbook-Advertising-YouTube-Display-ebook/dp/B071DB4DSB --Find FB groups on the subject of PPC and ask questions, become an active member --Read industry mags like Search Engine Land, etc.

Best of luck and stay safe. Post back your resume here. I'm hiring - I might not have anything right away but who knows.

The ads you saw are Dynamic Search Ads. DSA ads might exceed the length limits of Expanded Text Ads or Responsive Search Ads.

The same question was made just a few days ago. I will just use the same answer I gave:

A good formula to actually calculate the performance of an ad is by using the formula (Conversion Rate)*(Click Through Rate)*100. The higher the score, the better the ad.

Assume that for a particular campaign/ad/group/keyword/location/device etc etc CTR is 10% and Conversion Rate is 5%. Then:

• For each 100 impressions, 100*10% visit yor site, equals 10 visitors
• Out of these 10 visitors 10*5% convert, equals 0.5 conversions

Therefore for every 200 impressions you have 1 conversions. Practically this formula shows you the number of conversions you are making per 100 impressions. This means that each % of Conversions Rate and CTR are equally important.

When you have a limited budget (search lost due to budget is not 0) then you dont care about CTR. A small budget will be consumed one way or another. If CTR is high it will be spend faster, if CTR is low it will be spend slower. But for bigger accounts which have maximized their potential to trigger an ad on every single relevant term (Search lost due to budget is 0) then yes obviously CTR does matter.

If you are a starter my vote would be on this tutorial on Udemy. If you want something more advanced you can have a look at my book on Amazon: Advanced Google AdWords Strategy: The Comprehensive & Data-Driven Practical Guide on Managing & Optimizing AdWords Accounts Profitably. Thanks

I 've faced this scenario multiple times

1. Unless you want to use non location keywords like "pizza parlors" instead of "pizza parlors Buffalo" then you should create a negative list in which you should add as many locations as you can find. Unfortunately there is not other way. My suggestion would be to break this campaign into two: One with locations included (pizza parlors Buffalo) in your keywords and another one without locations included (pizza parlors). Their behaviour should be different that's why it would be a best practice to break this into two campaigns.
2. If I understood right, target areas outside of and near Buffalo and add Buffalo as an excluded location. Make sure that your keywords in this campaign include your location, e.g "pizza parlors Buffalo" otherwise the campaign will be a waste of money
3. Think I covered this

If you 're into reading :) you can also have a look at my book on Amazon Advanced Google AdWords Strategy: The Comprehensive & Data-Driven Practical Guide on Managing & Optimizing AdWords Accounts Profitably.

I partially undestand your concern. Unless your ad copies are not something like "Click Here - Earn Now 1 Billion" then a good formula to actually calculate the performance of an ad is by using the formula (Conversion Rate)*(Click Through Rate)*100. The higher the score, the better the ad.

1. Specify which pages of your site you want to run remarketing ads on
2. Create lists for visits on those pages. Create lists for visits that occured last 7,14,30,60 days or more.
3. If you track conversions, create an "All Converters" audience for 540 days and exclude it from your campaign.
4. Create two different banners in order to A/B test in the sizes: 300x250, 336x280, 728x90, 300x600, 320x100
5. Launch campaign

There are many more things that can be said, but these are the absolute minimum you should have in mind.

It's an overkill to spend lot of time on choosing specific websites. 99.9% of the times performance will be the same across all sites. The conversions across different sites would be attributed as follows: 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 1. With lot's of 0s... And even if a website brings e.g. 4 conversions one month, most probably next month you will have 0 conversions once again.

Proper naming and structure of all campaigns/ad groups/keywords is a must for monitoring and managing an account. Then, identify segments of similar performance (CPA, ROAS) and optimize all of them at once.

SKAGs are the way to go. I can only see advantages in them so it definitely worth it. A well structured account needs very little effort to manage and optimize. In many accounts I have managed I have created much more than 400 ad groups. If you are interested in a SKAG strategy you can have a look at my book on Amazon: Advanced Google AdWords Strategy: The Comprehensive & Data-Driven Practical Guide on Managing & Optimizing AdWords Accounts Profitably

You can take a look at Lynda.com they have a lot of courses on AdWords. I used them to learn a lot of Adobe products and it was super helpful - I've watched some of the AdWords courses though not all of them - and they were pretty good.

Additionally, you can pick up some books about AdWords which are really helpful. While some things do change over time, the basics are still the same - what I learned 10+ years ago still holds true today, there are just new tools and new features you can utilize. This book is a pretty good one - I keep a copy close by to reference from time to time.

Other than that - AdWords is a lot of on the job training, which is great if you're not using your own money to learn.

I just had the same issue with "messenger" the display URL was even "play.google.com" and the final url displayed on the browser when mousing over is even the right one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.orca

but when clicking the ad it takes me

I can't even understand how they did it.

Thanks for the interest! It's a flappy bird clone so I'm not sure how interested you will be, but it has pretty good graphics (they look good on the android screen, maybe not so much in the browser) and some neat gameplay features. I am also adding a lot of unlockable skins etc... Also 50% of the profits go to protecting and restoring coral reefs!
