Anatomy of a Digital Campaign

Advertising Lifecycle

Campaign Basics

• Creative Matters• Bigger Ads Perform Better• Deep Link the ad to the relevant destination• Track conversions wherever possible• In PPC campaigns, Click Through Rate indicates

(a) quality of your creative and (b) accuracy of the ad placement. It does NOT represent any value or lack of value the advertiser: You only Pay Per Click

Don’t…

• Assign budgets more than a month in advance• Forget to track & measure performance• Allow the same creative to run for more than

a month

Ad Quality

• Since you ideally want variations of all keywords targeted appearing in your ad, if you have more than 10 keywords in an AdGroup, you have too many.

• The higher the ad quality, the less you will pay per click.
