Google provides advertisers with a recommended daily budget for each ad campaign. This
recommendation tries to ensure that the ad for the advertiser’s keywords appear as
h

frequently as possible. The recommended budget contains a detailed budget analysis. It is


ec

based on the ad campaign performance for the last 15 days. The budget allows advertisers
to estimate how the new budget affects ad impressions. The new budget amount may vary

C

Explain to the students that similar to AdWords bidding, AdWords budgets can help in
optimizing an ad campaign. It also allows an advertiser to have more control over their
h

marketing costs.
ec

Some best practices that advertisers can follow when using AdWords Budgets are as follows:
For Normal Accounts:
pt

• The daily budget is not equal to the total account spend. The daily budget applies to
individual campaigns only.
rA

• Monitor the bids carefully as they are the primary way to control advertising spends.
• Advertisers may like to try different budgets for their ad campaign. However, advertisers
may modify the daily budget for each campaign a maximum of ten times in a single day.
Fo

• Optimize the ad campaign to control advertising spend. If the budget limit is reached
before the end of the day, optimize the ads and keywords to ensure that the ads receive
more targeted traffic and displays throughout the day.

For Managed Accounts on MDS:


• Ensure that the accumulated monthly spend for the MDS managed accounts do not
exceed the company’s approved credit line with Google. Contact Google to know the
credit line.
• It is possible to create as many budgets as required for each managed account. The
duration of each budget can vary - monthly, quarterly, yearly, and so on. Be consistent
with each managed account so the end dates can be managed easily.

© APTECH LIMITED

• The start date of a new budget is, by default, set to three days in the future. For example,
if a budget is created on January 19, the start date is automatically set as January 22. If
necessary, update the start date.
• Start dates for new budgets cannot overlap with other budgets that may have been set up
for the managed account. This is especially important for accounts that are currently on
credit terms with monthly budgets.

Explain to the students that AdWords bidding allows AdWords professionals to optimize the
traffic to their Web sites generated by pay-per-click, pay-per-impression, or pay-per-
C

conversion advertising. A ‘bid’ is the amount that an advertiser pays per click, per thousand
impressions, or per acquisition. This is an important factor when reviewing the performance
of ads because, each time an ad meets the requirements to be displayed, it will compete
h

with other eligible ads in an auction.

Explain that AdWords has numerous bid strategies that are adaptable to different types of
pt

campaigns advertising goals. Users can identify the appropriate strategy based on the
networks their campaign is targeting, and on what they are focussing such as receiving
rA

clicks, impressions, or conversions.

Explain that the three basic goals to be considered while bidding along with the current
Fo

campaign settings are:


• To create traffic to the Web site, it is advisable to focus on the number of clicks. Thus, CPC
bidding may be appropriate for this type of campaign.
• To maximize brand awareness—not driving traffic to the site— it is advisable to focus on
impressions. Thus, Cost Per Thousand viewable impressions (vCPM) bidding is apt to
show the message to customers.
• To direct customers to take action on the site while using conversion tracking, it is
advisable to focus on conversions. Thus, CPA bidding may be appropriate for this type of
campaign.

Explain to the students that the AdWords system provides advertisers with multiple bidding
options that can be used as per requirement. Currently, there are three main categories of
keyword bidding:
• Focus on clicks (involves Search and Display Ads): If the objective is to ensure people visit
your Web site, then clicks are the right choice to start with. Use CPC bidding and you will

© APTECH LIMITED
Online Advertising Using Google AdWords

be charged only when people actually click your ad and view your site. Following two
options are offered by CPC bidding:
o Automatic bidding: This is the easiest type of bidding in which users assign a daily
budget and let AdWords manage their CPC bids to get the maximum clicks
possible within that budget.
o Manual bidding: This allows users to completely control the CPC bids. It lets them
assign bids at various levels such as the ad group level, individual keywords, or ad
placements. This allows them to know they are bidding just for the clicks that are
important. For example, if you own a hiking club in the U.S., you might prefer to
bid more for direct-hit keywords like ‘U.S. hiking’ and a lesser bid for ‘hiking maps’

y
which is broader keyword.
• Focus on impressions: Rather than paying by the click, users can pay depending on the

nl
number of times their ad is displayed, if their campaign is targeting just the Display

O
Network. This type of bidding is also called vCPM bidding as users pay for every 1,000
times their ad is shown and is viewable. This type is the right choice if users mostly prefer
their name or logo to reach lots of people. vCPM bidding, similar to CPC manual bidding,

se
allows to assign bids at the ad group level, or for single placements.
• Focus on conversions (involves Search, Display, and Shopping ads): This advanced

rU
bidding allows users to choose the amount they are ready to pay for a conversion, or CPA.
A conversion (also known as an acquisition) is defined as a specific action that users want
to see on their Web site. Mostly it is a sale, but it can also be an e-mail sign-up or some
te
other action. Though users pay for every click, AdWords automatically sets their bids to
get maximum conversions at the CPA they specified. To use CPA bidding, conversion
en

tracking must be turned ON, therefore, CPA bidding is suitable for intermediate and
advanced AdWords users.

Following are the options:
o Automatic payments: In this method, users are automatically charged
soon after their ads run. It is, either 30 days following the previous
automatic charge or after a predetermined amount (also called threshold)
is reached, whichever occurs first. There is also an option to make
payments at any time to manage the costs.

© APTECH LIMITED

o Manual payments: In this method, users pay when they prefer for future
costs but before their ads run. Later, as the ads run, the cost builds up and
the credit from the payment decreases. When all the payment is utilized,
the ads cease to run.
o Monthly invoicing (credit line): Some businesses are offered a Google
credit line provided they meet particular requirements. In this method, the
costs are accumulated and a monthly invoice in generated. Later
businesses pay either with a check or bank transfer. The payments are
calculated for a time period that is fixed with Google, according to their
terms and conditions. Reach out to AdWords online specialist for more

account. As the amount in the account starts getting low, an e-mail will be sent to reminding
to make another payment.
te
Explain the following factors that must be considered while making payments with this
en

setting:
• Pay any amount: One can decide the amount to pay provided it is more than the
C

minimum transaction amount fixed for that particular location and currency. This
minimum can be seen while making the payment.
• Save the favorite payment methods in the account: One can pay easily and more quickly
h

by saving many payment methods in the account.


ec

• Utilize any payment method: One can either pay with any payment method in that
account, or with a new method offered in that country and currency.
pt

• Keep the ads running: Pay consistently to ensure the ads run—the recommended is 30
times the cumulative amount of the ad campaign daily budgets. If the balance is running
rA

low, an e-mail (depending on the notification settings) will be sent when the budget has
lesser than a week’s worth of advertising cost.
• Allow for processing time: Based on the mode of payment, it requires 24 hours to 7 days
Fo

or more for the amount to reach the account. Allow for this time while trying to keep the
ads running.
• Remember VAT: In few countries, a Value-Added Tax (VAT) is also applied on the
payments. In such cases, ensure to factor the VAT deduction into the payments.

Explain to the students that even while using the automatic payment setting, users still have
an option to make a separate, manual payment at any time. Users might choose to make
such a payment for the following reasons:
rU
• To monitor how and when they are charged: Using manual payment users can pay their
te
complete AdWords account balance, a part of it, or more than the balance to include
future costs. They can either choose a new payment method or distribute the balance
en

among a number of them. This aids in delaying when the primary payment method is
charged.
C

Note: When users pay using manual payment method close to the automatic payment
due date, in some cases they might be charged twice. Explain this concept to the
h

students using the following example:


ec

Consider you have a campaign which has an everyday budget of $1,000 and you are
charged whenever your costs reach $500. This implies that you are charged many times
a day. Now assume you pay $5,000 with another payment method, implying that you
pt

are paying for five days of advertising costs ($1,000 x 5 = $5,000). This implies that your
primary payment method will not be charged until you have consumed the $5,000
rA

payment and an extra $500, which triggers another charge.


• Automatic payment is rejected but users want the ads to run: Sometimes banks reject
Fo

credit card or bank account payments for numerous reasons. In such instances, a manual
payment can be made to ensure the ads continue to run while the issue is being fixed
with your bank. If users pay using another credit card, by bank transfer, or using another
bank account, the ads will run again after the payment is received by Google.
