This document outlines what Google AdWords is, & how ProCloud Marketing can help you make the best of their advertising budget. What is Google AdWords Google AdWords is an online advertising service developed by Google, where advertisers pay to display brief advertising copy, product listings, and video content within the Google ad network to web users. Google AdWords is also referred to as Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising model, it can be a vital tool for businesses to maximise their potential customer base. If you think about your own internet usage, imagine how often you find yourself in front of search results on Google.

3 How ProCloud Marketing Sets up Google AdWords Google AdWords advertising is straightforward & follows a basic structure & process. Getting Started Let s assume that your business wants to sell more products in Brisbane. ProCloud Marketing will: 1. Create a Campaigns Campaigns are often used to organise categories of products or services offered. Campaigns will usually be titled something similar to "Excavator Hire Brisbane". 2. Create Ad Groups & Ads An ad group contains one or more ads which target a shared set of keywords. You set a bid, or price, to be used when an ad group's keywords trigger an ad to appear. This is called a cost-per-click (CPC) bid. You can also set prices for individual keywords within thte ad group. Within these Ad Groups, Google Ad are created & managed. There are several Ad Formats: Text Ads by far the most common format seen on Google Search pages Call Ads These are a type of Text Ad that only appears on Mobile devices Display Ads These are a combination of images & text that appear of Google Search Network sites Choosing Keywords ProCloud Marketing will research & select the best keywords to trigger that an ad whenever someone searches for your product in the Brisbane area. 3. How Google PPC Campaigns Charge Advertisers For example, let's say the search term costs $6.76 per click, so, whenever someone clicks on the ad a charge to you of $6.76 is made. Every click is charged for, the cost of a click varies over time; depending on the level of competition for that word at the time. 4. Budgets & Schedules The client is required to set a monthly budget, this is divided equally by the number of days per week that the Ads run for. The ads stop running when: The allocated daily budget has been depleted The Ads is scheduled not to run at certain times 5.
