Search Engine Marketing Process
Set Campaign Goal
The first step in a Google advertising campaign is setting goals.
Usually, a paid campaign has two main common goals:
Lead generation – mostly good for service providers who want to reach their targeted audience, that is interested in the service they offer.
Sales – online store websites that are interested in selling products and generating immediate conversions.
In this step, we will also determine the success criteria.
Ultimately every campaign goal is to bring new customers, so the success index is simple at the basic level.
When starting a campaign, we will want to find out what is the cost of converting to a client. Meaning how many clicks did it take to get to a lead and how many leads convert into paying customers.
This rate will let us know if the campaign is profitable and if we can do any optimization.
Keywords Research
Keyword research is probably the most necessary step in any Google Ads campaign. During the keyword research, we will look for the keywords that can best meet the needs and goals we have set for the campaign.
In any professional keyword research we will divide the keywords into three main categories, based on what we call Buyer Intention:
Searches with low purchase intent – where the searches were looking to gain knowledge (How to… What does… When does… )
Searches with medium purchase intent – all those more knowledgeable searches but not yet direct searches (Review of… Comparison of… Recommended…)
Searches with high purchase intent – when the searches are actually at the ready stage and have the highest chances of conversion
We will also consider that the higher the purchase intent is, the greater the competition for that keyword is. Hence, the higher the price per click.
We will use several advanced and professional tools to do in-depth keyword research. But your input will be very important. You are the only one who knows exactly what your clients are looking for on Google.
Landing Page Development
It is very important to build a converting landing page so that you do not waste money on your campaign.
Bringing quality traffic to a landing page that is not tailored for that traffic, will not convert. Also, from Google Ads’s perspective, it is expected that the landing page will fit the ads, keywords and campaign structure. So your landing page can contribute to a lower price per click.
There are many examples of landing pages and instructions on how to build landing pages, but the guiding principle is to create a page that is as simple as possible and equally clean and beautiful.
Whether you develop the landing pages with us or not, we will make sure it will have all the information needed to convert prior to starting a campaign.
Although you might be eager to start your paid campaign and attract new customers, it is very important to build a professional and quality landing page before starting the campaign.
Ad Creation
The wording of the ad is one of the most important parameters that directly affect the percentage of clicks. The goal is to bring to the landing page visitors who can become clients, there is no benefit in low-quality traffic. So your ads need to do this division, make sure only the quality visitors click on them.
There is no winning formula that guarantees the highest CTR (click-through rate). However, there are a number of methods and rules that can significantly increase the chances of driving more quality traffic to your site.
The ads should reflect the landing page as well, so we will take the time writing them carefully.
Tracking Installation and Testing
The success of the campaign is drawn from the goals we have set in step one.
We will set up an analytics system that will let us see all the campaign conversions.
We will have to look at the leads and determine if they are meeting the goals we have set for that campaign.
There are several ways this can be done, by implementing a special tag, use of a plugin, and a number of other techniques.
We will test everything is working and that we can follow each conversion (completed form, call, email, chat etc.).
Budget Decision
Once we know our goals, our landing page is ready, ads are done and analytics was tested, it’s time to set an initial budget framework.
It is very important to emphasize that it is not recommended to start advertising on Google with a very low budget. Below a certain amount, it will be difficult to examine the campaign simply because you will not get enough data from it.
A Google advertising campaign has a learning curve. At first, you’ll invest to get results and information about the behaviour of the potential clients. After several months, the campaign accumulating data and we will be able to target your audience much smarter.

Nevertheless, the launch of a campaign is an exciting moment.
