<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Using Google Ads can be a great way to grow your business. However, there are a few things that you should consider when it comes to setting up and optimizing your campaign.</p>
<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.5; font-size: 1.4em; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; color: var(--iq-title-text); letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">A/B testing</h2>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Managing a PPC campaign can be a very time consuming task. A/B testing Google ads can help you optimize performance. A/B testing is a digital experiment in which you test two variations of a webpage, app, or email campaign to determine which performs better.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">One of the most important aspects of any A/B testing campaign is the focal point. This is where your ad's headline, CTA, and image are located. If you do not test these three areas, you are missing out on some valuable information.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Another important element of A/B testing Google ads is the post-click landing page analysis. This is known as intent optimization and helps you determine what focal points work best.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Using a manual bidding process for Google Ads allows advertisers to control the maximum cost per click (CPC) bid for a particular keyword or ad group. This is the best long-term solution for most business accounts.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">However, a manual bidding strategy isn't as simple as it sounds. You need to understand the basics of PPC to successfully implement this type of bidding strategy.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">You can set the max CPC bid on a campaign level, on an individual keyword, or even at ad group level. This gives you the most control over your spending.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">A manual bid strategy is a useful tool that you can use to increase your impression share and optimize your CPA. It's also a good way to learn about how paid traffic interacts with your site.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Having the right sitelinks is critical for optimizing Google Ads.

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Sitelinks are additional links below the main URL, which appear on search engine result pages. They are automatically generated by Google's algorithms. They are used to drive traffic to relevant content, and they can be scheduled at certain times of the day.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Sitelinks provide users with easy access to different Web pages.

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">Including a CTA is a must on a thank you page.

Both methods have their own pros and cons, but both are a great way to determine the performance of your ads.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: #585858; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #ffffff;">The Analytics platform's Multi-channel funnel report can help you understand how your display accounts, social accounts and paid accounts influence the performance of your ad campaigns.
