Top Client Questions Of The Month:

Thanks to all the clients and newcomers for these great questions. Watch the Video Newsletter Here for more details.

1. How long does it take to get Google Ads going? What is the process?
The first month for Google Ads is information gathering. During this time we are setting up conversion tracking to track clicks to call, send messages, creating top 5% user audiences, and building everything out.

– The second month is about testing and tweaking our strategy to see what is working and what is not. We take the best keywords in terms of low-cost high performers and optimize for that. We take the expensive keywords and put more of those on the site to rank better for them.

– Over time, with great SEO, you can rely less on Google Ads as well. It will always have a place during certain seasonal times and when your competition spends more it can benefit to match. 

– The third month is important. It is when we start hitting our stride. Not always, but often we start to feel what is working and put more or less money and focus toward those activities which are driving results and traffic.

2. How is a competitor showing ads as no.1? What are they doing?

– Google Ads are based on a bidding system based on a number of factors. These factors vary from max bid, budget, landing page experience, and quality score of the ad itself. Take a look at your website and your ads to improve and see what the competition is doing better than you. Then simply do it better than them; easier said than done usually. At Kow Abundant we help our clients do just that to be top of page or we find opportunities that competitors arent thinking of to place your site in front of them.

– There are factors like, what is your budget, is it enough? Factors like, when are you showing ads and for what demos or target audience? Beyond this, Kow Abundant looks at over 15 different ad qualities to see how your company can improve your ads online to get more customers.

– There is always something that can be improved or a competitive edge that you can achieve and we can help you find it to get more customers online.

3. Should we have 500+ words on our homepage?
– not quite. What is important is quality over quantity. Just stuffing keywords won’t help you and can actually hurt you. Google does not count words as stated by John Mueller. It checks the quality of content and compares it to other similar sites.

4. What is the best time to run Google Ads? 6 am to 11 pm?
– Best ad times will vary per industry and are based on a few factors like conversions when you can best respond to customers, and search volume to name a few. We often look at analytics and check conversion and click data to best gauge these times.

5. Why has my daily budget exceeded my max today?
– Even though your campaign spend might vary, you will never pay more than:

Your daily spending limit (two times your average daily budget for most campaigns) on any particular day.
Your monthly spending limit (30.4 times your average daily budget for most campaigns) in any particular month.

6. Does top placement in Google Ads matter? Is 2 or 3 okay?
– At Kow Abundant we work harder for top goals and conversions to occur vs just being at the top of a search all the time. The number of searches out there for some products can be vast and so it is okay to not overspend just to always be shown at the top. We work to instead focus on conversion actions like calling, submitting contact info, or getting a quote from your website over just being seen at the top. Even ads that are not at the top can get the clicks if they are more engaging and make more sense to the user.
