Google Ads continues to be one of the most important platforms for businesses of all sizes and scales. But with constant updates, increasing automation and the loss of many “traditional” control levers, finding the right balance between investment and returns can be incredibly difficult. <\/p>\n
At SMX Advanced<\/a>, Sam Tomlinson<\/a>, executive vice president at marketing communications agency Warschawski, explained that marketers need to figure out how to work alongside AI and help them do better “because fundamentally we are not going to outtrade a machine.”<\/p>\n Here are 10 advanced strategies that have helped Tomlinson’s company achieve huge results with Google Ads campaigns.<\/p>\n It’s vitally important to feed machines the best data possible. Four useful tools to ensure you are giving Google the best data possible:<\/p>\n This great, underutilized option allows you to “group conversions for a similar stage in funnel” and “allow you to have different goals…so that you’re actually optimizing the relevant campaign towards a relevant set of objective without other data coming in and confounding the mix,” Tomlinson said. <\/p>\n Tomlinson revealed his company uses enhanced conversion for every client because it allows you to link any CRM directly with Google Ads and set primary optimization events. Tomlinson said:<\/p>\n Marketers can import business data into Google Analytics and, by extension, into Google Ads. <\/p>\n Enhanced conversion is the first step in this process, followed by conversion adjustment. This allows you to restate the conversion value so you can adjust it up or down. <\/p>\n “You can remove data from the optimization algorithm so that you’re not optimizing flawed data,” Tomlinson said, adding:<\/p>\n This is a powerful approach for both B2B and B2C businesses because it lets marketers make smaller adjustments to how algorithms bid, based on their business’ unique data – which is something that they can control. <\/p>\n Give Google the data it needs to optimize your content better and faster – ultimately, this will get marketers better results from their campaigns. <\/p>\n The best way to do this is by layering your category information about how customers buy your products, such as product type, price, buyer type and so on. <\/p>\n Too many advertisers are using automation and automated bidding strategies in the wrong way, according to Tomlinson. Commenting on the campaigns his company has achieved the most success with, he pointed out that a low CPA target or high ROAS targets are a lower priority for Google Ads. <\/p>\n He added: <\/p>\n Get the daily newsletter search marketers rely on.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t1.
