Are you confused about how to set up your account or how to use Google Ads profitably? If yes, then here is a comprehensive guide for you to consider. However, before jumping to its working procedure, let us first go through the advantages.

Benefits of Using Google Ads for Your Business

Accurate Targeting

With Google Ads, you have a guarantee that your ad is only presented to potential customers. Also, you can choose the time of day when you want your ads to be displayed in front of targeted audiences.

Aim for Specific Devices

As per the 2013 update, Google Ads now allow businesses to choose specific devices for their ads to be advertised. You can choose between tablets, desktops, or mobile devices. Additionally, according to your business needs, you can also aim for Windows or iPhones.

Pay Money Only for Results

When you go for Google Ads to drive traffic, you only have to pay for the number of clicks on your ads, despite impressions. Hence, it is also known as pay-per-click, i.e. PPC marketing model. Overall, it protects your capital.

Effective Performance Tracking

With Google Ads, you can track the number of customers that view or click your ad. It also allows you to examine the users that take action after visiting your site. Thus, considering Google Ads to be a part of your online marketing strategy can help you generate positive outcomes.

Steps for Setting Up Google Ads Account

By now, you must have decided a list of objectives, desired location to target, and a budget to accomplish the ad. So now, it’s time to establish your Google Ads (or Adwords) account. Below are the steps to create your ad account.

Step1: Sign Up
Step2: Set your budget
Step3: Select your target audience
Step4: Choose a network
Step5: Pick potential keywords
Step6: Set your bid
Step7: Write your ad
Step8: Create your ad

Follow all these steps and ensure to keep your message to the point, have a clear call to action, and create a headline that convinces your targeted customer to click on the ad. You can also run multiple Google Ads to aim at various objectives. But keep in mind that you will be charged whenever you have exhausted your set budget.

How Does Google Ads (or Google Adwords) Work?

Once you have finished creating your account, your first ad is live. However, if you are not comfortable doing it yourself, you can also hire a Melbourne based SEO agency to assist you. Here an advertiser first creates an ad campaign or personalised ads by setting your desired targeted keywords, location, and more.

After that, advertiser places a bid that means how much you can pay for someone to click on the ad. Once the bidding is done, Google Ads grades the advertiser’s ads and provide them with a quality score. The ad auction launches when a search engine features your targeted keyword. Google uses the quality score and bids to inspect the winning ad.

Once Google approves your ad, it will be shown across multiple channels or devices you have set. In the end, remember that for your ads to been shown on networks like Google search network, it must win the ad auction. And the ad auction is depended on three factors, i.e., your bid, quality score, and ad extensions.

How Must Does It Cost to Advertise with Google Ads?

What you pay for Google Ads is eventually depended on your ad network. However, the average cost per click for the Google search network is $1 to $2. On the other hand, the average CPC for Google Display Network is less than $1. But how much being a business owner, you are expected to spend each month on Google Ad?

You are aware of the fact that every business has its own goals and morals in terms of products, audience or industry. It is the main reason that can influence the total amount of investment on Google Ads per month. However, on average, businesses need to set aside $8000 to $9000 per month for their ad spend.

The Bottom Line

Today billions of people are utilising the Internet as compared to the last few years. Also, most of the individuals are using smartphones. Considering these facts, companies are integrating digital marketing strategies into their business plans and also investing in Google Ads or Google Adwords. If you don’t know how to use Google Ads or how to create an ad account, then this guide is for you. It covers everything related to Google Ads from its benefits, working, account creation to the cost.

We have been with multiple companies all offering the same thing and never really understood the ins and outs of what we where gaining... when we moved to Adaptify we didn’t set our expectations to high but we quickly formed a good relationship with our account manager Joshua Trytell.Josh has changed our outlook on SEO companies and really spent the time to walk through all the aspects of what our goals are and the most logical and realistic path to achieve them.I have and will continue to personally recommend Josh to anyone looking for a trustworthy and down to earth account Manager.

After trying to self manage my sites and SEO for over a year with foreign independent service providers, and spending far too much money in the process, I finally caved in and went to a developed and professional local all-in-one service provider. Adaptify tailored a package for my complete needs and this was definitely the best business choice I have made in regards to finally getting results, not having to follow up or manage a thing, and spending less than I originally was doing it myself.

We had tried two other digital agencies in the past to get a new Magento website built with deep integrations with MYOB, lucky third attempt with Adaptify. Recommended by friends we have dealt with Kevin and Alexandra and can't speak highly enough of them and their commitment to getting the job done and done well. Just started a SEO and PPC campaign with our busy season approaching. Great job to date.

I am a small business owner based in Brisbane who was approached by Adaptify for marketing. Being a business owner and vested my time in running the business, marketing was on the back burner. I knew, I had to vest time into marketing, but lacked the know how. Adaptify signed us up and we have not looked back.Initially they managed only our SEO and then we added Social Media Marketing and now we are working on conversation based marketing including New Website, Social Medial, Adworks, SEO and remarketing.It is daunting for you think about achieving a automated process for your marketing. Adaptify has made that possible for us. They do have hands on approach, required skill set and experience.I want to also acknowledge the people ( Varun, Kevin, Jennifer, Daniel , Andrew, Agostina )that have made it possible for us to move ahead and improve our conversations . Highly recommend Adaptify to any business Big or Small.

I built a website for my Immigration business from Adam at Adaptify and then got them to do my SEO and social media as well. I had been with other providers before but never got any results but as soon as my website went live I started getting lots of phone calls and email contact forms from new customers.Almost 3 years down, I am happy to recommend Adaptify Digital to anyone who is looking for a good digital marketing company. Thanks you for educating me about SEo and social media. I am happy with the business you have brought to me over the years.

Adaptify was referred to me by a friend who also had a fantastic experience and I am really glad I went ahead with them.It was an exciting journey to see it all come together I must say. I engaged them to build an ecommerce website with Myob integration and POS. It was a long and a complex process as I had to move away from my previous website that was quite old and had a lot of custom elements in it and was built on a different platform. Jennifer was really helpful, she helped me organise my products & other information and guided me throughout the process.I also used their copywriting and content production service (product photos and videos). I was going to do it myself but these guys had so many different ideas for how can I showcase my product & brand better so I decided to have it done by them and it was a good choice. My time was better spent organising my stock getting ready for the new website launch.I think the highlight was that Adaptify team could guide me and be proactive about the best ways to do things as opposed to waiting for me to tell them what to do which is an experience I had with another company before. This is really really valuable to have someone experienced guide you.I just came back from the holiday and am now ready to get started with marketing with them.
