AdWords remarketing

bees

Notas do Editor
In 2017, we still find channels work independently from each other
Traditional agency and in house setting the channels work independently from each, day to day knowledge sharing is often limited and because of this sometimes we struggle to keep up to date with any changes or updates that might benefit the overall objective or our channel strategy
And because of this limited learning opportunity, we also don’t realise that many other channels can solve our channels’ problems
This is the case with Adwords & Paid Social Media. And that’s what I wanted to talk to you today about.
The channel’s strengths combats their weaknesses. For example:
Adwords – Further down the funnel but with limited targeting
Social – Often at the top of the funnel, but with advanced targeting
What is the AdWords problem, paid social can solve?
Increasing costs on generic keywords – for example Lawyers at $109 or plumber at $36
This high cost isolates small / medium businesses
Desktop searched peaked in 2013
Mobile real estate more competitive
I want to sell this rather fetching blue jumper, gentleman just want you need on a day like today – not to cold, not to warm – layering weather
But it’s a competitive keyword and I’m going to end up competing with the likes of Ted Baker and ASOS. So I might decide to stop targeting that keyword. But I know potential customers could still be using this keyword, so I might look at…
But this reduces the amount of people I can target and limits them only to people familiar with my brand
As the pool of people decrease, it also reduces by potential conversions – which is not what I want.
But if I can increase the pool of people, I can increase my conversions and improve my ROAS
I can use the low cost of paid social to feed the remarketing pool. Increasing the size and allowing me to target more people and increase conversions
So a customer journey might look something like this
What does this approach allow us to do?
This allows me to identify the right type of potential customer from behaviour – shopping online, to parents with children 3 and under
Allows us to be super clever
Sequential advertising
The title of my talk is honeypots, so what is a honeypot campaign?
It’s an integrated and sequenced campaign with aligned messaging
Honey – the hook to activate prospects into the funnel
I’m going to use Facebook as an example.
A lot of people at this point would jump into Ads Manager and start building a campaign based off preconceived interests, behaviours. However as this campaign is relying on converting people via AdWords, you need to work backwords.
Find the people who convert via your AdWords campaign to start building out your social media targeting
Focus on trialling affinity and in market segments
Take this data and start building your audience. Make sure you use the detailed targeting feature to build a hyper-targeted and rich audience
Remember your AdWords campaign know a lot about your converting customers, so build negative keywords into your exclude layering on Facebook
Another targeting method. Create a lookalike audience based off a FB event on the thank you page or email database
In market audience have an interest around holidays
To create my target audience for my Facebook campaign
Really important thing to remember when you’re building your audience is the minimum list size of 1000 to trigger remarketing in Google
100 for display
Is your audience large enough to drive enough clicks to activate AdWords remarketing or display?
This should inform all aspects of your campaign from ad copy to creative concept
Works well if you have strong content that can act as a persuasive hook to drive people to your site
Create interesting content based around the converting audiences interests to attract the right consumer
Not every business has access to great content, so a competition is a great alternative
You want to make sure the entry mechanic is on site in order to capture the data
For B2B brands
Align with your end converting audience’s interests
So you know your audience, you’ve created the honey to attract those consumers, now you need to build the campaign.
Don’t‘ worry about taking notes, slides can be downloaded, head to my Twitter
UTM Tracking via the URL builder
This allows Google Analytics to track and build audiences
UTM tagging allows your paid social campaigns to be tracked in analytics and then utilised in AdWords. Without this, you won’t be able to retarget audiences.
Top tip – separate paid social and organic social
Go in AdWords
Based on how you structure your campaigns
Choose the right one for your strategy
If you choose bid only, you can qualify your audience before starting the campaigns
Bidding methods: Collect the data and qualify them before adjusting the bid. The right type of bees not wasps! Refine and bid adjust - Layer information and collect
