The method

What decides a search campaign

Four things, and only one of them is the bid.

  • 01Match typeBroad match reaches further and converts worse. The question is never which is better but which you can afford to monitor weekly.
  • 02NegativesEvery campaign attracts searches with no commercial intent. Removing them is where most of the improvement lives.
  • 03Quality ScoreRelevance lowers what you pay for the same position. Raising bids buys the same result at a higher price.
  • 04What the ad promisesAn ad that overpromises earns the click and loses the sale. Relevance between query, ad and page is the whole mechanism.

How we build search campaigns

  • Intent mapping — Buying, comparing and researching terms separated — they need different pages.
  • Tight ad groups — Few keywords per group, so the ad can actually match the query.
  • Negatives from day one — Written from the search-terms report weekly, not once at setup.
  • Ad copy per group — Written here, matched to the query it answers.
  • Location and schedule — Set to where and when your team can respond.
  • Landing page match — The page answers the promise the ad made, or the click is wasted.
  • Extensions — Calls, locations and sitelinks — free space that raises click-through.
  • Weekly review — Bids, negatives and structure, every week.

The difference

Broad reach, or tight intent?

The default settings favour reach. The default settings are also how most budgets disappear.

Common

Reach first

  • Broad match across a wide keyword list, because it fills the account quickly.
  • One ad group holding fifty keywords, so no ad can be relevant to any of them.
  • Negatives written once at setup and never revisited.
  • Traffic reported as the result, because conversions are not measured.

What we do

Intent first

  • Match types chosen by how closely we can monitor them, then widened.
  • Tight groups so the ad answers the query, which raises Quality Score and cuts cost.
  • Negatives written weekly from what people actually typed.
  • Conversions measured to the enquiry, so the number reported is the number that matters.

Reach is easy to buy and slow to unlearn. We start narrow and widen on evidence — it is slower in week one and considerably more efficient by month three.

Google Ads

Intent before volume

Ten keywords that buy beat a thousand that browse — we start with the words closest to a purchase, then widen with what the data proves.

01How many keywords do I need?

Fewer than most accounts have. Twenty keywords that convert outperform four hundred that mostly do not, and they are possible to actually manage.

02Should I bid on my own brand name?

If competitors are bidding on it, yes — it is usually your lowest-cost, highest-converting keyword. If nobody is, it is often unnecessary.

03How quickly do enquiries start?

Usually within days of launch. Cost per lead settles over the following weeks as negatives accumulate.

04Broad match or exact?

Whichever you can afford to monitor weekly. Broad reaches further and converts worse; on an account nobody reviews it is the fastest way to spend a budget on unrelated searches.

05How many ads per group?

Two or three, tested against each other. More than that and none of them collects enough data to be judged in reasonable time.

06What is a good click-through rate?

It depends entirely on your position and sector, which is why we report it against cost per enquiry rather than on its own. A high CTR on unqualified traffic is a more expensive problem than a low one.
