First, you need to define your target audience anyways
Who are the people who make the decision of either working with you or not?
As Google Ads offers targeting by keywords people have used, we advise to gather the semantic core for your TA: what these people are likely to look for? B2B segment is always harsher yet we hope these help

Very basic question, how can I start with Google ads?

 

[PSTNET]

I have some queries…

1. How to prevent click from outside targeting locations… i have set correctly location option in cmpgn , but still getting click frol outside.

2. How to maintain CPA bid camapgin for logn term, i am running several cmpgn , in starting , its give me good result , but after some times performance goes down,

3. Call only campaign never take impression with local services. (Tried 3-4 different niches)

Hi,

1) Take your time to review campaign settings, definitely something is wrong there.

2) Usually the longer a campaign is running, the better results it shows as algorithms learn to promote ads to the target audience.

3) Other ways of making a purchase might work better for niche products. Younger audiences don’t like to make calls, they prefer to do everything online without any communications

Need some help with my campaigns. I have a long Funnel to convert and implemented serversite tracking in order to have better optimization. Before that i were just able to optimize to the first step of the funnel. Now i switched to the last step with a CPA that is 5x higher and saw that my budget was wasted on clicks that are costing 5x more. Is there a better way to optimize and also do you recommend to choose the last step as the goal, when there is significant less traffic to optimize? Currently i get one Conversion every 2 days.

Nice

Tell me how and when you usually scale your campaigns?

Again, what is your NORMAL ROI?

Campaign scaling usually happens when CPM and CPC are normal
NORMAL ROI depends on the niche - we’ve seen ROI 40% called great as well as 400%

Quick dumb question— my google ad was set to generate phone calls. What can I do about multiple calls from the same number? What about obvious spam calls? Thanks

Block them We can’t think of other solution for such problem

The problem with the daily limit of 80-100 bucks. how do you deal with it?

Create several campaigns with different settings for a couple of days, let’s say $20 each. Test which one works better and scale it up

If competitor is clicking on my google ads, can I stop him in some way?

Only by filtering click fraud using services like Keitaro. You can also report click fraud to Google

In order to increase the billing threshold you should spend some time warming up your ad account. Don’t forget to get a reliable proxy, antidetect browser and trusted virtual cards for payments BEFORE you start doing anything as advertising platforms will start to record fingerprints of your account from the first visit.

what service of proxy do you use?

what's the best landing page format to be compliant with google ad

In Google Ads, for a landing page to be compliant with Google Ads policies, it does NOT depend on the "format" of a landing page, but it depends on the CONTENT of a landing page.
And by the way, if by "format", you meant a template, then that would be a disaster. Example : You want a landing page for running product ABCD in Google Ads. One Mr.A gives you a great template for a landing page for product ABCD. You use that template of product ABCD in Google Ads and then BOOM (account suspended due to circumventing systems).

Why ? Because lots of people (idiots) would have used that same landing page template / format of (for) product ABCD, so this will trigger Google Ads algorithms to "think" : "Oh, all these various campaigns in different Google Ads accounts are being run by the same motherf__ker, so this motherf__ker is trying to game Google Ads".

Bottomline, for a better chance of success for your Google Ads campaign to go live, it is safer to have a landing page with unique content and do not look for a "format" or "template" for a landing page (for Google Ads). Even if by chance such a landing page created with a copied "format" or "template" does go live (in Google Ads) there are chances of the campaign (ad) getting flagged. Therefore, it is better to avoid this.

Hello my question is regarding fresh google ads account can we use windows server dedicated specially to that account and manage it from their i am running usa vcc which would work fine as you said got one from banking api app and created account but will it last since account creation went perfectly what do you think about it

 

[Chris Newman]

can we use windows server dedicated specially to that account and manage it

The answer to that could be a "Yes" and / or a "No". You need to provide further information as to what technique (tool, etc) you will use IN (WITHIN) the dedicated windows server for managing the Google Ads account and based on that it can OR even cannot not be a suitable option.

Define what do you want to use it for, find your niche, prepare all the images, videos, ad accounts and other tools you gonna need for campaign
Then make some tests and start scaling up successful campaigns
Good luck!

There are many services like ahrefs which parse not only keywords used on a specific website but traffic amount for each keyword as well. The strategy for keywords research may include parsing competitors website for keywords and optimizing your website with highly popular and less competitive keywords
For marketing cost optimization you should research your unit economics. To put long story short this is about ROI calculation – how much will you get from you estimated quantity of leads and how much would every one of them cost in comparison to overall marketing spend
The rest is up to your experience in the niche, as only then you understand which creatives work better for such ads, what are peculiarities of campaign setting for the niche etc etc
Hope that helps!

If I'm promoting a Warrior Plus product or anything in the MMO niche, what's the best landing page format to be compliant with google ads community standards?

Content of the landing page is way more important than the template. Look for other MMO landings, they usually have great visuals and simple structure, for example ones like RAID
Anyways, see what successful competitors are doing and learn the best from them

Usually when conversion is low there is something wrong with creatives you are using
Do some tests with other images/videos and see how that works for you

what service of proxy do you use?

There are many great variants in the marketplace section. We cannot recommend any exact seller, just look at the reviews and chose what is best for you

For tax purposes you just export your spend report from google and then use it when filling your taxes information
Google does not have any more tax tools than that
