PPC Search Ad Campaigns

PPC Search Ad Campaigns

PPC search ad campaigns were the original digital ad campaign type from Google. They are primarily text ads, matched to search queries and keywords.

Develop Ad Copy for Search Campaigns

Blastoff has experimented with and tested a number of methods for creating, improving, and optimizing ad copy.

Our small team develops high quality ad copy in multiple refinements with all team members participating over multiple days. The ads go up on a wall-mounted TV during review and brainstorming sessions. This method of developing copy consistently delivers superior ad copy.

It is important to recognize that the purpose of a search ad is not to completely sell the customer on your service or product. The purpose of search ad copy is to intrigue the customer to click on your ad, instead of the adjacent ads from your competitors.

Search Campaign Launch

After a search campaign launch, most will require a day or two to develop serving momentum. Average-size campaigns usually require a few days to develop consistent serving patterns.

Once a campaign is launched and serving consistently, it's now continuously generating valuable signals that allow us to optimize performance. Over 1 to 5 weeks we'll maneuver the campaign into position for a transition to automated bidding.

Search Campaign Optimization & Automation

Most paid search campaign optimizations require 2 to 5 weeks to complete after launch. This is the point at which we transition most campaigns onto automated bidding. Simpler search campaigns, and campaigns operating in business sectors with limited competition, can sometimes be optimized in a week or two.

During the manual optimization period, it's not unusual to make significant advances in performance as we become more familiar with the nuances of how the campaign serves. As a search campaign is optimized, the resulting data becomes more useful to split-test and compare changes.

Some clients operate in highly competitive markets, and their campaigns are mission-critical. They often can continue to benefit from attention to optimization after the campaign is transitioned onto automated bidding. This can occur daily, weekly, or based upon performance.
