People say there is no \u201c<strong>SECRET SAUCE<\/strong>\u201d to make an SEO campaign work, but in the case of PPC ad campaign you have and that is bidding on (your) branded terms.<\/p>\n<p>Brand bidding involves bidding on branded terms of third-party or the competitors, so when that brand name is entered, your ad will appear and you will be successful in diverting the traffic away from competitor\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p>Now instead of using some third party brand, you can use your own brand, say \u2018<strong>XYZ<\/strong>\u2019. Now if a customer types the brand name \u2018<strong>XYZ<\/strong>\u2019, he\u2019ll be provided all ads related to your ad campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you don\u2019t want to bid on your own brand, and then you will be the one at loss, because,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Like I said before, your competitors may buy your brand name \u2018<strong>XYZ<\/strong>\u2019 and might get successful in appearing above your organic listing.<\/li>\n<li>Also, if real estate aggregators bid broadly on (your) brand term + city\/ state name they are more likely to secure top spot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><div class=\"know-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adroitte.com\/get-a-quote\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adroitte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/call-ad.png\" alt=\"call ad\"><\/a><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>TIP #2: Target Specific Location with Geo-Targeting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Geo-targeting<\/strong> or <strong>location targeting<\/strong> lets you present your ads to consumers of a certain location. Chances of conversion rate are very high since your ad campaign will be specifically tailored to their needs.<\/p>\n<p>Every PPC platform has this option to target audience according to the location and that includes your state, city, country, or even some small region. The more specific and narrow your PPC ad campaign turns, higher will be the chances to make more customers.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of geo-targeting is that you can allocate budget for the best performing location. Hence there will be no reason you spend unnecessarily on locations that ain&#8217;t profitable for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you have used the AdWords tool before you should know that there are different targeting options. Make use of each option comprehensively and avoid missing out someone who can be your potential client.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP #3: Use Negative Keywords<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Negative keyword, the word itself speaks of making a word non-available or unavailable to your customers. The main intention to have keywords is to rank only for those keywords that would give you leads and conversions.<\/p>\n<p>You can also keep control of your budget.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll give you a small example why using negative keywords is important for your PPC campaign.<\/p>\n<p>You have bid for the keyword \u201c<strong>Estates for sale<\/strong>\u201d, and you wish to show up if someone wants to look into houses that are up for sale. Now let\u2019s say a searcher types the word \u2018<strong>Estates<\/strong>\u2019 just to check something, your ad featuring \u2018estate for sale\u2019 pops up. The browser may even click on your ad with no intention of buying and this will only increase your campaign budget.<\/p>\n<p>Many city names are similar and unfortunately, you will find that even the community brands are available the same way. Create a list of state and abbreviations and avoid your ad from showing up for different cities or states.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP #4: Remove Low-Intent Searchers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Again the same explanation.<\/p>\n<p>If someone is searching a keyword just for gaining knowledge, they are less likely to make a purchase or close a deal.<\/p>\n<p>For every new campaign, you can create a list of negatives that you can apply. For instance, you can start with \u2018<strong>state negatives<\/strong>\u2019 and along with that there should be \u2018craigslist\u2019, \u2018tiny\u2019 (for tiny homes), \u2018home depot\u2019, and even \u2018zillow\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP #5: Use ADD Extensions on your Ad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A typical way to increase your Ads <strong>click-through-rate<\/strong> is by using ADD extensions.<\/p>\n<p>ADD extensions allow you provide more\/additional information to people like- map for property location, images, titles, phone number, ratings, and even the price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP #6: Use Location Extensions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is same as I explained before; you need not be a brainer to understand that.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The distance between your place and the location.<\/li>\n<li>The location\u2019s street address.<\/li>\n<li>A clickable tap button.<\/li>\n<li>Other information includes \u2013 hours, customer ratings, photos, and phone number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>TIP #7: Use Site Link Extensions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By adding site link extensions you can take people directly to any specific page on your website.<\/p>\n<p>If a potential buyer\/customer is looking for a place in \u201c<strong>Upper Manhattan<\/strong>\u201d, he may be looking for options, a one-bedroom apartment, four-bedroom apartment, one-storey home or even a studio. So if you have site links he will have options to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, site links are great to improve <strong>CTR<\/strong> because they create alternate conversion paths as they allow you customers reach multiple landing pages under the same ad. <strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP #8: Use Price Extensions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People don\u2019t always look for luxury homes, so when they come across a real estate ad with a range of options they can buy and price of each kind, there is a good chance they will convert.<\/p>\n<p>Also, customers to learn more about your ad campaign need not visit your website; they will find out everything in one glance if you add this extension.<\/p>\n<p>The best example &#8211; if you search for cheap flights to Amsterdam, you will get a list flights along with the price. Choosing from the list is much more convenient and time-saving than searching from the website.<\/p>\n<div class=\"calltoaction\">\n<h4>Call Adroitte<\/h4>\n<p>Contact us to discuss your digital marketing related requirement.
