● Conversions: Which campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and ads are producing the
most conversions? Can you segment your ad groups and ads to target more specific
searches and capture even more conversions? If your account is consistently hitting its
daily budget, consider creating a new campaign protecting your most valuable ad
groups with a sufficient daily budget.
● Conversion Rate: If you receive a lot of clicks but have a low conversion rate,
consider changing your landing pages to better persuade searchers to take action. Also
check this out by device; is your conversion rate for donations on mobile devices much
lower than on desktops? If so, your donation page isn’t as mobile-friendly as it could
be.
● Cost / Conversion: How much is an email sign-up, a new member, or a $20 donation
worth to you? While you don’t have to worry about this as much when using a Google
Ad Grant, it’s critical to determine the dollar value of each conversion type when
you’re spending your own marketing dollars on ads.
