Adwords mistakes that could cost you your business

Google Adwords is a fantastic tool when for when it comes to advertising your business and when used correctly can be one of the most powerful tools your company encounters, however a poorly planned and badly managed campaign could cost you thousands. 

Ignoring keywords in your ad

Always include one of your keywords in your ad copy, Google ranks ads based on the search matches and the more that your ad matches the search results, the higher Google with rank it. If your keyword is competitive and you don’t feature it in your ad then it’s likely that your ad is not going to feature in the top results. 

Having too many keywords

Keep your ad simple, make it clear and easy to read, your potential customer will judge your ad within a second, so you need to make sure that it is easy to understand. As well as keeping your copy simple, make sure you keep your display URL simple, even if the actual URL is complicated. 

Ignoring the competition

Keep an eye on what your competitors are doing with their ads and try to analyse some of the keywords they are using. It’s good to get an idea of what your main competition are doing so that you can adapt your ads so that you can compete with them.
