But to promote with PPC Google AdWords, you must be familiar with and know how to fix the following common mistakes.
Your PPC Google AdWords is not optimized for your company goals.
Your promotion aims to increase sales, subscribers or engagement. So your PPC Google AdWords needs to be optimized to reach them.
And many times, you focus to increase
- CTR: Click Through Rate
- Impressions
- Page Views
- Time On Site
Instead of
- CPC: Cost Per Click
- CPA: Cost Per Acquisition
- ROI/ROAS: Return On Investment or Return On Ad Spend
CTR, impressions, page views, and site time are irrelevant to reaching your goals. CPC, CPA and ROI/ROAS are your bottom-line revenue metrics. So focus on them in your PPC campaigns to get your company goals.
Your PPC Google AdWords is not optimized for the right keywords and queries.
People search for queries on Google, not for keywords.
For example, someone may search for an elegant swiss watch.
The thing is, “swiss watch” might translate into queries saying “women’s swiss watch” or “kids swiss watch” when you might be selling men’s watches. So, in this case, you pay for many invalid clicks.
