Out of the total ads created the search campaign, the most successful ad was ‘want to be an
entrepreneur’ with 4 clicks and CTR of 11.76% with average cost of $1.29, the least

With the above insights we learned that the keywords in this ad group & the headlines for
this ad copy triggers the potential customers. Hence, while creating new ads we can use this
ad as reference.
12. Ad Groups
Search Campaign Clicks Impressions CTR
Youth Entrepreneurship 7 64 10.94%
After analyzing the data, we figured the best performing ad group was ‘student
entrepreneur’, it makes perfect sense as it describes the client’s business perfectly.

As mentioned in the ad group section, the best ad group was ‘student entrepreneurship’.
Similarly, these keywords are performing better than other keywords because from a lay mans
perspective, if anyone wants to start as business, they will type in such a query rather than
being specific. Even though it’s a long term keyword, its performing good.
13. ROAS
Clicks-248
Quality-11
Conversions-4
The reason we chose 4 conversions is because we believe that if people who spent more than 1
minute on our site they would be intrigued enough to fill the Intake Form (which is the a lead for
our client) and by choosing only 4 conversions we are being conservative as the landing page of the
ad has a hyperlink attached to it for the google form (Intake Form) so once of the page we cant
track them hence there can be more conversions that we are unaware of.
Our client Leapjunction is a not for profit organization hence all the services provided by them are
free, therefore we consider the same example we used in our pre-campaign deck to explain the ROI
Example: A company offering same services for a price. On an average, start-up incubators charge
between $80-$150 per hour. If a customer’s lifetime value is considered, the company will be able
to recover the cost from one client within 1st week as the company doesn’t bear variable cost (For
instance, the customer would visit a start-up incubator for 1 hour every day for 5 days of the week
so they would end up paying $400[rate per hr is $80] and the cost to the company for
advertisement was $271. Hence, they have already recovered the cost of advertisement from this
client).
14. A customer’s life time value is difficult to calculate in leap Junction’s line of business as once the
start-up is launched and running there is no assurance whether the client will require leap
Junction’s help or not, therefore we consider on an average the client visits the start-up
incubator for their services for at least 3 weeks in total which would lead to 60hrs in total paying
for the services claimed.
Revenue- 4 clients x 60hrs x $80 = $19200
Management Fees- $150 The people in the industry are charging around $300 for an AdWords
campaign for building it up from scratch and looking at the efforts and time we have invested in
this campaign we think $150 is a fair evaluation for our efforts
16. Experiments and Learning
As the campaign preceded, experiments were made to the ads, bids, budget and keywords
according to the search behavior of the audience.
Ad changes
Initially, For A-B testing, 1 ad in each ad group was kept on pause. Later the ads were un-
paused.
A new ad for ‘free student entrepreneurship’ was added to improve the ad relevance for
particular keywords.
Bid changes
Cost per click bids were altered to improve the ad position ranking

Budget
The daily budget was increased for the ads to be triggered more often and to give Google a
chance to improve the reach of the ads.
The daily budget was reduced from the second week till the end of the campaign to maintain
the weekly budget and also to decrease the impression for improve the CTR.
18. Match types
After observing that the keywords are too tight and the ads are not being triggered, we
changed the keywords match type to reach the goals in terms of more impressions and clicks.
Some of the keywords were:
How to start your own business
Starting a business
Entrepreneur events
Entrepreneur networking event
Display
Negative mobile apps were added to reduce the bot traffic
The ads were displayed on different topics which were relevant to Leap Junction, start up and
businesses.
After a day of experiment, the topics which were not doing well were generating useless traffic
were removed.
19. All the four members were assigned to check the ad words account everyday for 21 days. We
assigned one person to make changes in the ad word account in order avoid confusion.
The work was divided and supervised by the captain. Research was done by one group member
where creative for display and advertisements were assigned to another group member.
Negative words and search insights were done by a different member.
Working in a team was rewarding, we learned from each other. We brainstorm on daily basis on
how to improve our ads, which keywords to include from search query, how much to spend as
the daily budget, etc. All the decision were taken as a group.
We met our client- Leap Junction, twice. We believe it is important to meet the client in the
beginning of the process of creating ad words campaign to understand the expectations and to
build a rapport with the client.
The second meeting with the client was mainly to discuss the display advertisements and get
the approval. For our client, display campaign was as important as the search campaign.
Team Role
20. Recommendations
There are myriad opportunities for success by continuing the use of Adwords. As Leapjunction
has been in business for four years and yet hardly people have heard about it so by continuing
with Adwords Leapjunction will make sure that they will increase their brand awareness along
with some long-lasting relationship with their new clients. We believe a total budget of $400
for both Display Campaign and Search Campaign would be sufficient. A team consisting of 2-3
members would be enough as they have a very niche segment in terms of demographics,
geographic and line of business.
The benefits they will have by continuing the Adwords campaign are:
• Increasing Brand Awareness
• None of their competitors are present on the Adwords platform so this helps them get an
edge over them
• The ROAS calculated on assumptions based on the industry standards investing in Adwords
is the right choice as it’s a very profitable for them
21. However we recommend them to do some optimization with their website and make it more
SEO friendly, they can use Adwords to improve their website by understanding which
keywords are most searched for and using those specific keywords on their websites to
increase the relevance which would affect the quality score which would lead to positive
changes in Ad positioning and CPC, or they could custom build specific landing pages for the
Adwords campaign. While running the Adwords campaign they should be careful with their
budget allocated to Display Ad campaign as that can get really tricky if not observed closely.
While creating new keywords they should use the keyword planner and not make words on
their own and should be careful that the keywords are not long tailed words (a very long
Query). They should do some changes regarding their Intake Form and make it easy for people
managing Adwords so they can track conversions of Intake forms. They should focus on few
particular industry services which people require help with Food and T-shirt while starting
their business in this field.
