5) Apply budget on a priority basis

Apply budget on a priority basis
Inbound vs Outbound channels
- Not all paid leads are created equally
- Capturing those in the market will have a much
lower cost per acquisition
- In most situations, Google search is almost
always best
- Always consider remarketing display

Apply budget on a priority basis
- For high volume keywords, you or your agency
should use “Single Keyword Ad Groups”
- Allows for more granular keyword matching and
keyword exclusions
- Always separate out location and high intent
keywords
- Allocate your budget accordingly
- Approach is also comparable in Google
Shopping
Use granular targeting to uncover hidden gems

Measure, analyse, refine
In B2B, lead times are longer, so bare this in mind when
attributing spend - try different attribution modelling
Are you tracking all of your “goals”
– Even the “soft” or “micro” ones?
– E.g. newsletter signups
Use these “micro conversions” to inform your Ad Spend or
time and effort

Advanced considerations
Google Scripts
– Automate frequent tasks and run reports on schedules
– Bespoke feed integrations
– Complex account building
CRM integrations and lead scoring
– Paid search keyword level CRM reporting
Using shopping campaigns as a shop window, even if you’re not (often) selling
products online
