Manage Your Pay Per Click Campaign -what About Headlines?

By: Kirt Christensen

Just imagine, you have an army one hundred thousand strong, they are all salesmen canvassing the planet just for you. That is what your Google Ads are. The best thing is that you only have to pay them when customers open their doors to hear them.

The identical verbiage you use for getting someone to buy from you in person or by telephone is the same language you should use when creating your Google ads. Ads are just printed sales talk.

Before you try to write advertising copy, you should try to explain what you're selling to someone who might buy. And then, when they raise their eyebrows and lean forward, pay attention to what you just said.

These things you said, will also help your army of Google ads get their foot inside the door. The challenge you face will be fitting it in to the limited space. Your character limitations are: 25 letters and spaces for your title, 35 for each of the two lines of the body and 35 letters and spaces for the displayed URL.

So those are your limits. And that's okay, because your goal is not complex: just be clear, simple, and relevant.

Those advertisers with academic accolades may find they are at a disadvantage when creating their ads. This is one instance where and education can be a handicap.

You don't need to be a literary genius. Google Ads are the language of the street, not the ivory tower. Speak to your customer in the language she responds to in everyday conversation, and she'll click.

As in printed ad and on web-page, the headline is the greatest asset in garnering responses. In that minute moment of time it takes to read the headline copy your customer first begins to decide whether you are truly relevant.

Start with that keyword your customer just typed in and fit it into your headline. That will be the first signal to him that you're truly relevant. This means that you'll want to create enough different ad groups that each of your major keywords can have an ad of its own.

Perhaps you sell customized power supplies. Your potential customers are going to use any one of many different pathways to you. He could use "adaptors" for a search term. He may use the term "power supplies". He may type "transformers" in to the search box.

The thing to do is click on over to your favorite keyword tool, like Wordtracker, or maybe you have some keyword generating software. When you are there you will find all the major variations and related keyword terms for your niche market. Your next step will be to divide them up into sub sets for grouping to match specific ads.

These ads aren't very flashy, are they? They're not loaded with over-the-top language; in fact, to folks like you and me they're, frankly, boring. But that's okay. They aren't meant for the average guy on the street.

These ads are aimed at engineers. They use language and terminology that is understood and appreciated by engineers. This is a perfect ad for the audience it is aimed at. The most telling fact is, they have a good click through rate.

The formula for success is this: use your major keyword in the headline, and create as many unique ad groups as necessary to keep them all relevant.
