5. Ad 2 received more impressions than Ad 1
Ad 1 received impressions but yielded 0 clicks.
Female viewers had a higher CTR on Ad 2
Conclusion: Female audience were served ads more than males. .
6. Ad 1 was served to a larger number of viewers with undetermined age.
Ad 2 received more impressions by viewers of undetermined age.
The second largest age group was (18-24),
Due to the large number of undetermined age bracket that clicked on ad, age would probably not be a target for future ad of this type.
7. Keywords and Search Terms
Keywords were served by broad match.
Most common word match is brand
For future campaigns, it would be benefit to use the word brand along with longtail keywords that match user intent as seen in search terms. Selecting
phrase match or broad match modifier might yield better results.
8. Analytics by Location
Ads received higher impressions and clicks in clusters of
states, California, Florida, Texas, and North Eastern US.
(See next slide)
Future campaigns can target these areas more.
10. Media and Entertainment Affinity Audience received the highest impressions and
clicks.
Business Services In-Market audiences received the highest impressions but no
significant difference in clicks.
For future ads, target Media and Entertainment affinity audiences
12. The Google Ad Search campaigns were fairly easy to set up. The instructions
were clear and easy to follow. I was able to set up the ads in under 30 mins. The
part that took the longest was trying to write out the headlines and descriptions
since they have a character limit. The easiest part of setting up the campaign was
navigating through the different steps. Google does a good job of giving you
plenty of hints and tips. The fact that you can set a budget is great for testing out
ads.
One of the most challenging aspects was picking the audience and keywords to
use. For my next ad, I will try to narrow down my audience to fewer affinity
audiences and only one-in market audience. I will also need to work on
researching better keywords that are closer to what the audience is actually
searching for. Using more longtail keyword matches that describe how people
google information would probably help my ad receive more impressions.

13. I picked my target audience considering clients that I have worked with in the
past. As a branding consultant, I tried to select affinity audiences based on former
clients and selected keywords based on services that I have provided. My article
pertains to the importance of personal branding and the vast majority of my
clients are personal trainers, and fitness or wellness coaches. Personal branding is
important to them and I tried to select keywords that I thought they might search.
For future campaigns, I will use the insights from this campaign to narrow down
my audience to fewer affinity audiences and target more females.
Overall the Ad 1 received less impressions and clicks. Ad 2 performed better. For
future campaigns, I will conduct more thorough keyword research, target females
with a headline leading with personal branding or branding. The only thing I
changed between the two ads was the headline.
Ad 1 read: Grow your business
Ad 2 read: Build your brand

14. The highest matching keyword was brand. Most of the terms searched described
the searchers intent. In other words, what their desire was. Example: How to start
a clothing brand or beauty brand. In future campaigns, I would use a phrase
match or broad match modifier match instead of broad match.
I would also update my headline and description to be a closer match and
correlation between the article and keywords. I focused on my business services
instead of what the article’s value gave to the audience.
My extensions also need updating. I need to use callout extensions that would be
more valuable to the viewer. Instead of services, use create your brand, or
something that holds more meaning tied closer to the purpose of the article.
