How We’re Addressing It
Expansion versus Conserving
• Despite the easy migration, a new system is going to change how you work in
your accounts.
• Similar to enhanced campaigns, you will want to revisit your goals and figure
out what is best for your business and account.
• New tactics will be available, requiring you to adjust as needed.

Negatives
Improved product descriptions

SEO best practices
Consider (but ultimately resist)
keyword stuffing
Test new descriptions for
improved targeting
No keyword targeting…
Identify spend-wasters and upload to negative keyword list
Keep careful documentation of your changes!
11. #thinkppc
Tip #3 Large Volume: Expansion
Start By Creating High
Level Product Groups
• Segment by your main feed
categories.
• If you don’t have these, set
them up right away.

negative keywords.

Tip #6: Large Volume Inventory Optimization
Product Inventory - When AdWords search term lists just aren’t enough
Scenario:
Product CTR is
strong
But: Conversion
rate is terrible
Meaning: Price
point is
competitive but
shopping
experience is
lacking
Solution: Identify
those products
that don’t have
great variety
17. #thinkppc
Tip #6: Large Volume Inventory Optimization
Step 1: Examine your inventory for most frequently viewed variation
- Average apparel sizes such as mens’ track suits
- Common product colors or styles such as kitchen mixers

Tip #8: Optimizing Performance
Product groups are finicky
• Watch out for overwriting your old structure with new
additions.
• Be careful of the “select all” in the interface.
• Double check your “excluded” selection.
Make Use of The Dimensions Tab
• Break down metrics across campaigns.
• Easier Reporting
.

Wrapping It Up
As With Anything Your Strategy Depends on,
• Account Size
• Goals
• Time Invested
Large/Expanding Accounts will want to focus on,
• Targeting many broad areas
• Gradually focusing over time
• Finding the most profitable areas and product offers.
Smaller/Tighter focused accounts will want to focus on,
• Immediately advertise in specific areas.
• Heavily reducing inefficiencies from the start.
