Google Paid Search Campaign Setup and Management
Advertising in Google search results is the placement of paid advertisements that match certain key user queries. Its distinctive feature is attracting targeted traffic, i.e. users who are already looking for your products or services. Search advertising is an excellent tool when clients are needed “yesterday”.
How search advertising works
-
Keyword Auction
Google search advertising is based on a keyword auction system. Advertisers select keywords or phrases that match users' queries and determine bids for these keywords. When a user enters a query into the Google search bar, an auction is launched where relevant adverts participate.
-
Determining relevance
Google determines which adverts should be considered most relevant for each query. This is done using various factors such as ad quality, keyword and landing page relevance, and the ad's display and click history.
-
Ad evaluation
Advertisers bid on keywords and set budgets for their ad campaigns. Google evaluates ad relevance and advertiser bid to determine the ranking of ads on the search results page.
-
Ad position
Ads that are deemed most relevant and have a high enough bid get the best positions on Google's search results page. Ads can appear at the top of the page, below the organic search results, or at the bottom of the page.
-
Ad extensions
Google also provides the ability to add ad extensions that allow you to expand the information in your ad, such as adding links to different pages on the site, phone numbers, and more. Extensions can improve the visibility and effectiveness of your adverts.
-
Analytics and optimisation
Advertisers can track the performance of their ad campaigns using Google Ads analytics tools. This allows them to analyse traffic, conversions and evaluate the ROI of their advertising efforts. Based on this data, they can optimise their campaigns to get the best results.

The advantages of using Google adverts are
High relevance:
Google search adverts are only shown to users who are searching for information related to the advertiser's products or services. This ensures a high degree of relevance, which increases the likelihood of attracting interested customers.
Flexible Budget:
Google Ads allows you to set daily budgets for ad campaigns, allowing you to control costs and optimise your advertising strategy.
Ad extensions:
Google provides the ability to add ad extensions, which allow you to expand the information in your ad and make it more appealing to users.
Geographic targeting:
Advertisers can configure ads to be visible only to specific regions or countries, which is especially useful for local businesses.
The opportunity to compete with the big companies:
Thanks to the auction model, even small companies and startups have the opportunity to show their adverts at the top positions in the search engines and compete with the big players.
Targeting precision:
Advertisers can choose the keywords and phrases with which their adverts will be shown. This allows for precise targeting and reaching the target audience.
Pay-per-click:
Advertisers only pay for actual clicks on their adverts, not for impressions. This reduces risk and ensures efficient use of the advertising budget.
Instant Launch:
Google search adverts can be launched almost instantly after setting up an ad campaign. This allows you to respond quickly to market changes and trends.
Measuring Results:
With Google Ads analytics tools, advertisers can track the performance of their campaigns, analyse traffic, conversions and measure ROI. This allows them to optimise ad campaigns and improve their effectiveness.
Adaptability:
Google search ad campaigns can be easily adapted and optimised in real time, allowing for rapid response to changes in consumer demand and the market.
All of these benefits make Google search advertising a powerful tool for attracting new customers, increasing sales and building brand awareness.
The cons of search engine advertising
Advertising in Google search has its drawbacks, and advertisers should be aware of them in order to use their advertising budget effectively:
Competition and cost-per-click.
In some industries and with popular keywords, competition among advertisers can be very high. This can increase the cost per click on adverts and reduce the effectiveness of the campaign. Advertisers may spend significant amounts on adverts but not get enough clicks or conversions.
The likelihood of non-clickable impressions.
Some users may browse through search results without clicking on adverts, preferring instead to navigate to organic results or other pages. This can lead to an advert receiving many impressions but not enough clicks, affecting the overall performance of the ad campaign.
The risk of low-quality traffic.
If keywords are chosen incorrectly or the campaign is not well-optimised, there can be a risk of attracting low-quality traffic. Some users may accidentally click on an advert or may not be interested in the products or services offered. This can increase ad spend without a corresponding increase in conversions.
