Setting Up Ad Campaigns- Matches

Setting up Ad Campaigns and AdGroups in Google Adwords:

Organization is key.
First edit devices- (because we don't want to waste $)

Match Types:

1) Broad Match: Most expensive and most impressions. But irrelevant to audience you may not want.

2) Phrase Match: Quotations around keywords

3) Exact Match: Only showed [    ] - most efficient - with cost and traffic, but not much volume.

4) Negative Match: Block when users use certain words in queries. Put a - sign before the word.
Every week look at Queries to see what's NOT good or relevant and then make them negative.

To be continued with setting up Adgroups.

Some SEM Jargon, but Important. CPA and CPL Explained.

CPA= Cost Per Acquisition-
My understanding is that whenever there is a click that leads to a conversion, the company will pay a certain price. In this case we will use $31.
Company X is willing to pay us $31 each time they get a click and a conversion.
We want to get that down to US having to pay only $20 to get a click to conversion.
This way, if we pay the 20 and get a click-conversion, we make $11 profit on that click.

CPL= Cost Per Lead-
Spend divided by total leads received.  For example: Every ten clicks a conversion to make $25 and we make $1.24.

Facts Driven Data.

We must win the bids.

WOMM vs. Paid Online Advertising

TOP SECRET!!!
FOR MY BLOG READERS ONLY!!!
Although I have been working for Escalate since December 2011, I am still convinced that digital advertising is the way to go.

Don't get me wrong, I am also convinced that WOMM (Word of Mouth Marketing) and Experiential Marketing work as well.  I have seen it work over the past few months.

Our company also has a strong "Social Media" team, which helps with follow-up and execution of the "experience" and WOMM.

I have finally come to see, though, that digital media advertising and WOMM are NOT a contradiction.
Which works better? There is not hard core proof, nor does there need to be any.
BOTH work and I believe strongly that BOTH are necessary.

SO, as soon as I get my final pieces together, I will propose that Escalate begin to feature a paid online marketing campaign for their clients as well.

Let's see what happens.
