Google Ads Setup, Strategy, and Campaign Management
What is Google Ads?
Google Ads, previously Google AdWords, is a type of contextual advertising. It relies on the context (meaning) of the site, search query, or video.
For example, you visit a blog about recipes and see a kitchen supply ad by Google. The site context – food and cooking and that is why you see such an ad. This is an example of display advertising, and here Google serves ads based on the site context.
Another example: You enter the query “buy building materials in NY” and see an ad about acrylic paints. Here, targeting is based on the search query.

Google Ads Setup & Management
Determining Campaign and Goals.
First, I should get to know your site or app. At this stage, we will discuss your business objectives and determine KPIs for ad campaigns.
Setting the Budget.
I set the budget in Google Ads depending on the campaign, goal, and finances. This helps to run ads without exceeding the monthly plan.
Targeting.
I choose country, language, and other demographics as well as audience interests. If you have existing audiences, I upload them or create new segments.
Keyword Research.
This step involves finding keywords for the campaign while focusing on the most converting ones. The goal is to find the best price per click (CPC), action (CPA), impressions (CPM), or views (CPV).
Creating Ad Creatives.
I start creating a Google ad by adding headlines, descriptions, images, URLs, and other assets to maximize user interactions.
Publishing Ads.
The ad is ready, and now we should connect Google Ads to Google Analytics to measure the success of a campaign.
Management and Optimization.
Weekly audit of campaigns and the account to discover possible problems and improvements.
Progress Tracking.
You will get reports on revenue, conversions, and general progress for Google Ads campaigns.
