Marketing budget
Pay-per-click advertising - advertisers pay each time a user
clicks on one of their online ads - In other words, advertisers will
not be charged if no one click on the ads
Possible solutions: - Getting the right bidding strategy - Increasing ad impressions (e.g., creating
more ad groups with more keywords) - Increasing CTR of ads (e.g., selecting
relevant keywords)
Part 2: Interpreting the scoreboard
• These are the metrics being used by marketers/ practitioners
• Identifies rooms for improvement that allows you to make
optimisations for the next round
• Aids you making data-driven decisions
Measuring what matters: metrics

• Impression (Impr.): Number of times your ad or ads are shown on a search result page or other site
• Impression Share (Impr. Share): This score is based on the impressions this product received divided by the eligible number to receive. Which is primarily effected by how your bid ranks against competitor bids for a similar product.
Impression related metrics

• Click through rate (CTR): Percentage of ad clicks that resulted from the ad(s) being shown. CT= (Clicks / impressions)*100%
• Conversion rate (CR): Occurs when a web visitor takes the desired action of the advertiser, such as making a purchase. CR= Conversions / Clicks
Conversion related rates
• Suggested bid (Sug. Bid): A forecast on the Cost Per Click (CPC) advertisers are paying for this keyword. It is only a forecast, and your actual Cost Per Click may vary.
• Your bid (Max CPC): The max amount you are willing to pay for a click of your ad. A reasonable bid will significantly help you successfully gain more shares of impression of the keyword.
• Average Cost Per Click (Avg. CPC): Actual amount you pay when someone click your ads on average.
Bidding related metrics

Total cost: total amount paid for the clicks for your ad(s). Total cost = average CPC*clicks Cost per acquisition (CPA): Advertising costs paid per sale. Generally, your CPA will be higher than your Cost Per Click (CPC) because not everyone who clicks your ad will make a purchase. CPA = total cost/ conversion e.g., if an advertiser spend $100 (for a keyword/ad group) and gets 10 sales, its CPA (for a keyword/ad group) is $10 Return On Advertising Spend (ROAS): It stands for the percentage of revenue received for the among of advertising costs paid. It is an important score to measure the return of your investment. ROAS = ((ad profit - ad costs / ad costs)*100). e.g., if ROAS is 300%, it means the advertiser earned $3 when each $1 spent on advertising

Ad rank/location related metrics
Average ad position: Weighted average (by impressions) showing how your ad ranks against other ads. This determines the order in which ads appear on a page.
Top: Search top impression share = Impressions on top/eligible impressions on top
Absolute top (Abs top): Search absolute top impression rate = Impressions on the absolute top/eligible impressions on top

Templet for optimization
Unsatisfied metric Possible reasons How to optimise in the next round
e.g., Low impressions for the keyword/ad group
e.g., the search volume of keywords are pretty low
e.g., adding more keywords with high search volumes
e.g., optimise your bidse.g., The bids are too low or way too high so did not get the keywords
e.g., Click Through Rate is low
e.g., ad content is not compelling
e.g., adjusting wordings, adding more CTA words or Unique Value Propositions (UVP)
e.g., the relevancy of the keywords is low
e.g., replacing with the keywords that are relevant
e.g., Conversion Rate (CR) is low
e.g., landing page is not well-crafted
e.g., optimising the landing page for Canon T7i/Canon brand

Suggestions for Round 2
• Create an email campaign • Creating landing pages for your all of ad groups • Selecting at least 15 keywords for each ad group
(select more if you want) • Your bid should be close to the suggested bid.
However, to what extent your bid should be higher than the suggested amount? 10%? 20%? 30% higher or even more?
• Don’t just go with the product that are popular. Also consider how much revenue a product can generate
