PPC Remarketing Setup


Tools You’ll Need
The only thing you’ll need for this process is your Google Adwords account. If however you prefer using Adwords Editor the thought process remains basically the same.

Display Remarketing

Name your new campaign, I would recommend something along the lines of Remarketing – Display, or something that has remarketing in it. That way you can tell it apart from the other campaigns in your account. You’ll then need to select the “Remarketing” option for the campaign type. Set a daily budget and  then select the “Save and continue” button. If you have a Google Merchant Center account linked to your Adwords account you’ll need to make sure the “Enable dynamic remarketing” option is unchecked.

Display campaign remarketing settings

On the next screen name your adgroup, enter a default bid, and then select “Interest & Remarketing” for your targeting option. In this menu you’ll be able to select and apply the audiences you’ve created to this adgroup.
Note, if you use Adwords editor to do this it may speed up the process and allow you to create adgroups and assign multiple audiences faster. It will also allow you to get the whole campaign ready and setup before any changes go live.
You’ll then need to create an ad for the adgroup. I would suggest selecting “Skip ad creation” and using Adwords editor to test and upload image ads. Speaking of image ads, I would highly recommend using image ads in addition to text ads as they are much more visible on a webpage and will gain greater user visibility across the web (because there are websites on the content network that only allow image ads). Since you only pay per click in Adwords you might as well improve your branding efforts.
Once you’ve created the adgroups, the ads, get the ads get approved, and the audiences have enough visitor membership you will start getting impressions and hopefully clicks and conversions from your new remarketing campaign. Note, for remarketing in the Google Display network you’ll need ~100 audience members before your ads will run, for search remarketing that number jumps up to around 1,000.

Remarketing Lists for Search Campaigns

With remarketing lists for search campaigns you have a few options. First, you can assign audiences to current search campaigns and set a bid adjustment specifically for the assigned audience. However, I would suggest creating a whole new search campaign for this. That way you can allocate a specific budget for this campaign.
After you’ve created a new search campaign (added keywords, set bids, created ads etc….) you can assign audiences to your various adgroups. To do this navigate to the “Audiences” tab under your new search campaign and select the green “+ Remarketing” button. Select the adgroup that you want to assign an audience to and then select the desired audience. For this I would recommend selecting the “Target and bid” option. This will allow you to only target users in an audience and bid on them specifically. Select “Save” and you are ready to go. Again once ads get approved and the audience membership meets the minimum membership size your ads will start showing.

What’s next?

To wrap it up, remember with remarketing we are trying to segment users into groups and deliver specific messaging and value to each of them. Think about this when creating ads and deciding what keywords to use. We’ll wrap up this series next week.

Social Media Transparency

When I was completing my undergrad I had the opportunity to work for a company as the social media intern. Part of my responsibilities was to post at a specific time each day to reach our target demographic, go through our page and like each comment, remove any inappropriate content (crude or swear words), monitor conversations, and reply to any emails/messages. One of the biggest things I remember was that we wanted the page to be authentic and professional. I remember the first time I came upon a post that was a complaint about a product we offered. I asked my supervisor what to do and he advised me to reach out to the customer with an appreciation for bringing the issue to our attention, apologize for the inconvenience and offer a solution. My supervisor said we wouldn’t delete the post because we want our page to be transparent, we don’t have anything to hide, and while issues arise, we will work to resolve and rectify the issue to keep it from happening again. Why Yo...

4 Tips to Create a Winning Digital Marketing Strategy

Have you ever played checkers with a little kid? It’s pretty straight forward. The rules are simple. You’re black and I’m red, move forward, jump, king me, win. So this got me thinking, how do we define winning (success) as, employees, business owners, team members, not to mention parents or in relationships. It’s impossible to define the specifics of success for everyone, but we can ask some questions that will help us search for and define success in our businesses . Ask Yourself, How Do You Define Success? As a member of a team who works with business owners or managers of a business we often find our conversations coming back to one main thing, what is the meaning of success for your company? How does your company define winning? Is it simply staying in business? Or is it making more money than last quarter? Growing or expanding would seem the simple answer, of course but having more time to devote to family may also be your definition of success. You really need to...
