Introduction:
Use Google Ads for Digital Advertising Masterclass
Why Take this Course Series?
This is a three-workshop series that covers how to place and manage Google Ads. Use digital advertising to reach your target audience in search engines to get leads and sales. A search in Google shows the user’s intent: they are looking for the product or service. When you place your ad at the top of Google, your ad appears in front of those people who are actively searching.
We cover the four major parts of digital advertising with Google Ads:
- How to find the best keywords.
- How to create ads.
- How to manage bids and budgets.
- How the Google bidding system works. When you understand it, you can bid lower, pay less, and rank higher.
The workshops are hands-on and practical, with lots of examples, tips, notes, and insights. You’ll see dozens of tactics to apply, including examples for you to copy, paste, edit, and use, along with handy checklists for your work. You can do the work yourself, or, by understanding it, manage staff, agencies, or consultants. You can also apply many ideas from Google Ads to other search engines and social media.
(Can’t attend the live workshop? No problem. These workshops are recorded, and we’ll send you the recording, workbook, and any supplementary materials within a day of completion after we’ve had time to edit the recordings.)

Description:
This workshop starts by looking at how Google Ads uses accounts, campaigns, ad groups, keywords, ad creative, and landing pages. We then look at how to find and sort keywords. You can easily find tens of thousands of keywords for free with Google Ads, Google Search Console, and Google Analytics. We will show you (with numbered steps and screenshots) how to find keywords. Each section has a summary with a checklist so you can do the work.
When you’ve collected thousands of keywords, you clean up the keywords. If you need to, you can use additional tools to translate your keywords into sixty-six languages. You’ll also see how to test thousands of keywords to find the ones that get impressions and clicks.
You’ll also see how to improve your Google Ads optimization score and other tips.
Key Takeaways:
- We’ll cover how a Google Ads account is structured, its limits, and how to get around those limits.
- You’ll see eight ways to find the keywords (and your competitors’ keywords) that your target audience uses.
- We’ll show you several simple spreadsheet tips to change keywords into lower cases or translate your keywords into sixty-six languages (or more). Another tool creates permutations of your top keywords.
- We’ll see how to test keywords to find the best ones.
- Are the keyword projections for traffic and bids real or fake data? What can you use from that data?
- How to sort keywords into categories for the phases of your buying cycle or purchase funnel.
- Finally, we’ll do a walk-through of a Google Ads account.

In this workshop, you’ll see how to add keywords to your account, use the match modes (including negative keywords), and remove duplicate keywords.
We also cover how keywords, ads, and landing pages work together in Google Ads. This is illustrated with examples of ads and landing pages.
We look at the types of ads, including the new Responsive Search Ads (RSA) and Dynamic Search Ads (DSA), 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 code lets you give special offers to mobile users or returning visitors. You get the code and examples that you can copy, paste, and edit to make 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. And much more…
Key Takeaways:
In this class, you’ll learn:
- The keyword match modes, including negative keywords, how they differ, and how to use them.
- How to easily add tens of thousands of keywords to your account.
- How keywords, ads, and landing pages work together in Google Ads, with an example of text ads, image ads, and the landing page.
- You’ll see where your ads appear in the Google search engine, on Google sites such as Gmail, Maps, and so on, plus the several million sites in the Google Ads distribution network.
- We cover the types of ads in Google Ads, including Responsive Search Ads (RSAs) and Dynamic Search Ads (DSAs), with examples of actual data.
- How to use dynamic insertion in your ads so your visitors’ keywords are inserted into your ad, and live countdown clocks (such as “Offer ends in 4 days, 6 hours, 22 minutes!”). You can show offers to different audiences. For example, new visitors see a 10% offer, and returning visitors see a 30% offer. You can also insert an image from your landing page into your text ad, such as photos of your products, your company logo, and so on to get more clicks.
- You can use dynamic insertion for mobile ads, so desktop visitors see one offer while mobile visitors see another offer, such as “Free shipping for mobile orders!”
- Responsive Display Ads (RDAs) let you create ads that self-adjust to any device’s screen size.
- We also show a trick so you can fill the entire mobile screen, so your ad is the only thing your visitors see.
- You can use A/B Split Tests to test ads so you can develop the best ad (with examples and data). You can use A/B split tests without any special tools. A simple method lets you quickly pick out the best ads. You’ll be able to get your team of interns to write better ads than people with ten years of experience.
- And finally, we’ll show you how to use the app for Google Ads so you can manage ads on your phone when you’re away from the office.
