• Organic Search Results (multiple avenues)
• Google Business Profile
• Map Listing

Are you making it easy for your customers to find you?

SEO is a great way to drive website traffic, but it takes time. While waiting to see those results, what else can you do to drive sales now?

Enter Google Ads.

What Are Google Ads?

Google Ads are divided into several types. Each type can play a role in your customer’s journey, but depending on your goals, every type may not be best for your strategy.

Current Google Ad Types:

• Search Ads
• YouTube/Video
• Performance Max
• Display
• Demand Gen
• Local Service Ads / Google Guaranteed

Each ad type has pros and cons based on the needs of your business. While Google has simplified the setup process recently with the introduction of Smart Ads, many nuances can make or break your campaigns.

We’ve found that the secret sauce is in the details. Some of the most minor optimizations can make the most significant impact on your performance. But you need a team that knows where to look and what to do.

How Much Budget Is Needed?

This highly depends on your target market, location targeting, and keywords. Some keywords in highly competitive niches can cost hundreds of dollars per click.

For most ecommerce businesses, especially those that are B2C, you will find much more reasonable costs.

While you can technically run Google Ads for $5/day, you will need a larger budget to see success.

Google wants to show the most relevant, high-quality ads that will satisfy the searcher’s intent.

Many factors can influence what you ultimately pay for a click or a visit to your site. This can include landing page and ad copy relevance, location, time of day, what Google knows about that searcher, other competitors in the auction, etc.

The simplest way to estimate a starting budget is by conducting a little research. Let’s look at an example:

• Your business needs 30 sales/leads a month from your ads
• The CVR (conversion rate) on your site is 4% (# of sales/site visits)
• The average CPC (cost per click) for your keywords is $2.00

If it takes 25 visits to get one sale (based on a 4% CVR). To get 30 sales per month, you will need 750 visits (25 visits per sale x 30 sales). Each visit equals one click on your ads, so your monthly investment will need to be a minimum of $1,500 (750 visits x $2 CPC) in a 30-day month.

We will happily provide an estimate for you based on an initial set of keywords.
