What is Ad campaign optimization?
Ad campaign optimization utilizes best practices to improve online ad performance and ensure that the organization’s goals are met. An optimized ad campaign tells audiences a compelling story about the product or service and draws in positive online attention. Campaign optimization affords premium level conversion rates and click-through rates (CTRs) for paid search.
Ad optimization allows organizations to save time and money by positioning Google or Bing ads correctly. Search engines showcase the product or service to relevant users easily, making the ad a sound investment. A range of optimization strategies exists from simple keyword targeting to bidding on Google, as shown in this infographic.
To generate a good quality score and produce optimal metrics, an ad campaign includes negative keyword lists to ward off unwanted digital traffic, targeted ad groups with relevant keywords, clear call to action and a defined objective.
