Before you start with the AdWords Campaigns, you need to learn basic Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a complex platform and it takes years of experience to fully understand it. To get started with AdWords, you should be familiar with following basic terms:
Keywords: Keywords are key phrases that user search on Google search engine page for which your ad appear. While setting up your first campaign, you need to select keywords which you think is relevant to user searches. Prepare a list of keywords which people can type in Google to search for product and services you are advertising.
Bid: In AdWords, you pay when someone clicks on your ad. You need to decide maximum amount you are willing to pay for each click on your ad. CPC (cost per click) is what you actually pay when the user clicks on your ad.
Quality Score: Quality Score determines relevancy between keyword, user searches, ad copy and landing page. The Higher quality score helps lower your CPC and good ad rank in Google SERP.
Ad Rank: Ad Rank is determined using “Maximum CPC multiplied by Quality Score” and some other factors. On the basis of Ad Rank, Google decides where your ad will appear compared to other ads.
Conversion: Conversion is the action you want the user to take when after clicking an ad, they land on your page. Conversion can be sign ups, form submission, purchase, call and more.
