3. Step 1: Pre-Launch
• Creating 18 campaigns with 38 corresponding AdGroups
• Geotargeting New York City
• Budgeting each campaign equally
Step 2: Launching
• Changing the budget based on the campaign performances
– Tours were not performing well, so the team included tours in
ad extensions. As a result, the campaign had a better
performance, but not a conversion.
• Testing the campaigns based on events and weather
Evolution of the campaign
4. Step 2: Launching
• Experiencing failed campaigns
– Since Dinner and Restaurants fields had high
competition, the team decided to pause them.
• Selecting good performance keywords.
– High monthly searched volume keywords didn’t convert
clicks as much as our expectation; therefore, the team selected
keywords based on high CTR history.
• Continually launching ads for mobile
– Mobile has greater success than Desktop.
