Google Ads Advanced Overview

Already running Google Ads (Adwords) and want to know how to manage your account more effectively? Are you worried about the constantly increasing price of clicks? Are you surprised at the amount of time that you or your staff are spending on running your Adwords account?
On this one day training course we strip back to the basics of online marketing and explore some of the reasons why businesses are willing to spend substantial parts of their advertising budget on Adwords, while explaining some of the 'new' sales products within Adwords and outlining some of the advanced tools that can make the account manager more time efficient.
This Google AdWords training course is run with a very small group of businesses and individuals, which enables us to concentrate on your own account and provide professional help to the individual delegates. You will leave with a clear roadmap of the way forward for your Adwords account that will add value to your business.
- Take your Adwords account to the next level whilst maintaining profitability
- Attract quality visitors with less money
- Increase the conversion rates of your campaigns and website landing pages
- Manage and monitor your campaigns successfully with time saving features
- If you outsource your AdWords campaign, be in a confident position to manage and understand the relationship with the agency
Course Outcomes
By the end of this Advanced Google AdWords course you will be able to:
- Understand the fundamental differences between the Search and Display networks and how they might relate to the key goals of your business
- Understand the benefits and appropriate uses of remarketing and Google shopping
- Realise that attracting traffic from the Search and Display networks is only half the story and that landing page conversion rate is critical to success
- Analyse the cost per conversion and understand why, in theory at least, when a campaign's CPC is below cost per converted click then the budget should be limitless
- Know how to use some of the time saving automated features in Adwords
- Increase PPC conversion with strong landing pages
- Chase down the cost per converted click, increase profitability and maximise the Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS)
Course Requirements
This course is aimed at businesses that are already running Google AdWords but want to explore some of the more advanced features that are available and take advantage of some of the time saving tools that can make an account manager's life more time efficient.
As conversion tracking is such an important method of gauging PPC success, it would be advantageous for delegates' accounts to have this set up. Delegates should already have a good idea of how Adwords works and be familiar with campaign types, Ad Groups, Keyword selection and campaign performance reporting.
We are aware that Google is increasingly using two-step verification to protect access to your account when logging in from an unfamiliar IP address or device. Please find out whose telephone will receive the SMS with the security PIN, forewarn them of your course attendance and bring their telephone number with you.
If you are not familiar with using Google Adwords and have not yet set up your campaigns, please consider having a look at our Getting started with Google Adwords course.
Course Description

Many businesses have turned to Google Adwords to supplement their organic traffic or replace traffic lost in recent Google algorithm updates. Some have recognised the use of Adwords to support specific campaigns whilst for others traffic generated by Google Adwords advertising is literally the life blood of their business.
Whatever your involvement with Google Adwords, this course will strip Adwords down into its basic components and apply online marketing techniques to match the key performance indicators (KPIs) for your business and identify which features of Adwords will help to achieve those goals.
The Google Adwords interface is constantly changing and, unless you use it on a daily basis, you may not be aware of some of the advanced features and time saving automation that is available. This course gives you some of the hints and tips.
We introduce the use of the Adwords Offline editor (also covered on the Getting started with Google Adwords course) and discover some of the greatest time saving aspects of this useful tool. Throughout the day the course is very hands on, but particularly in the afternoon delegates will have time to explore and develop their own campaigns with individual support from the trainer.
At the end of the session you will leave with a range of practical ideas using Google Adwords to achieve critical business goals or improve the performance of your current AdWords campaigns or to simply use some of the time saving features that can make day-to-day account management less time consuming.
