Over the years, Iโve noticed consistent patterns in underperforming Google Ads. Hereโs a deep dive into the top mistakes I see and practical steps to turn your campaigns around:
1. ๐ ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป๐
Common Mistake: Campaigns often waste budget on broad or low-intent keywords that don't convert. Solution:
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ 1: Filter for non-brand keywords to pinpoint where waste occurs.
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ 2: Shift focus to high-intent keywords like "buy," "services," or "provider" to better match user purchase intent.

๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ผ๐ป ๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ: Many ads fail because the copy is not compelling or relevant enough to spur action. Solution:

Review and Refine: Start with a comprehensive audit of your keyword strategy and ad copy.
Optimize Continuously: Adjust based on performance data, not hunches.
Remember, the effectiveness of Google Ads isnโt just about the ads themselves but how well they integrate with user intent and overall digital strategy.
