What You’ll Learn in this Workshop:
In this workshop, you’ll see how to add keywords to your account, how to use all five match modes, and how to test to find the best ones. How keywords, ads, and landing pages work together in Google Ads, with an example of text ads, image ads, and the landing page.
After that, we dig into the types of ads, including Expanded Text Ads (ETAs), Responsive Text Ads (RTAs), and Dynamic Search Ads (DSAs), and how they work.
You’ll learn cool tricks with dynamic insertion that let you set up countdown clocks (“Offer ends in 4 days, 6 hours, 22 minutes!”), or the city (“Available in Dallas”) in your ads. Other bits of code let you give special offers to mobile users or returning visitors. You get the code and examples that you can copy, paste, and edit for your ads.
Finally, we look at A/B Split Testing. You’ll see how to do this without any special software. You’ll also see how to tell which ad is statistically better just by adding a small number. And much more….
Wherever possible, Andreas adds tips, notes, and insights to the slides, so you get information and his experience.
