Writing Google Adwords

If you're new to Google Adwords,
these are keyword-based, sponsored ads which appear as the top two listings,
or down the right-hand side of a Google Results page. Google charges the
advertiser a fee (ranging from 5 cents, to tens of $) each time someone
clicks on the ad. n Adwords, you are permitted one line for the headline,
not to exceed twenty-five characters, and two lines for copy, not to exceed
thirty-five characters. That is all! This takes into account
spaces that count as a character. To many, short means simple,
correct? |
No true! A writer will
tell you that it's much harder to write short content compared to wordier,
long content. In short content, every word must make a strong impact. This
compact writing will create better search and traffic results.
Waste has no place in Google Adwords. Google approves well-written and
tight Adwords faster. And, these ads tend to have higher click-through
rates and higher respond rates by visitors. Amazing what three lines of
about 70 characters can do!
Snug Adwords request the reader to carry out an action. Also, optimized
keywords and phrases in an Adword serve other purposes. When you know why
you picked certain keywords, you can anticipate the best results.
Fantastic copy for a Google Adword won't happen in a snap. Ten tips to make
it happen are offered below:
1. The inverted triangle approach to writing will help you brainstorm
material. Start with the most important points and use copy and language
that hold meaning for your target audience. Then, trim your material using
the following tips.
2. Copy moves the reader to click-through. Use power words, benefit or
attention-grabber. Start with two columns. In the first column, list a
feature. Then, in the next column, list a benefit of the feature.
3. Put only truth into attention-grabbers. Don't say its "free" if a catch
is involved. Follow Google guidelines carefully
(https://adwords.google.com/select/guidelines.html).
4. State your point right away. The Internet will bring customers who want
what you offer directly to you. The best headlines stand out because they
say exactly what the customer wants.
5. Split-test your keywords by testing their power on Google search
results. Also, test different versions of your AdWords ad on Google. Make
changes to a poor performing Ad. Changing one word can make a world of a
difference in your click-through ratio. If your Ad does poorly, Google will
drop it.
6. Use [square brackets] around keywords and even try a dynamic headline.
When a search result matches your keyword exactly, Google bolds the matching
keywords in your ad. You can also program your headline to customize and
match the search, as long as the dynamic headline doesn't use misspelled
words. For example, {KeyWord: Writing Tight AdWords}. You must use the
brackets and "KeyWord:" in the programming.
7. Omit words that aren't needed like it, of, in, on, an and a.
8. What makes you unique or shine? Loudly state it what makes you better
than a competitor. For instance, do you offer discounts?
9. Save the deals or freebies for the end. This reduces click-through
visitors who want it all for nothing.
10. Words packed with energy and emotion are call-to-action words. Pick
powerful words and statements that closely match your product or service.
Some power words include these, discover and enhance.
Tight writing comes from identifying exactly what you want your customer to
do with the information you provide. Not only will your click-through rate
improve but also your self-monitored conversion ratio should improve when
you make AdWords work in your favor.
