Paid ads need a tight offer
Google Ads can teach you quickly, but weak targeting and vague landing pages spend money fast. Start with one campaign, one intent, and one page built for that search.
- Use exact and phrase match before broad expansion.
- Send ads to a relevant landing page.
- Set conversion tracking before launch.
- Pause terms that spend without intent.
Budget for learning
The first campaign often buys information: search terms, conversion rate, cost per lead, and landing-page issues. Decide in advance how much learning you can afford.
Improve before increasing spend
Raise budget only after the landing page, offer, keyword set, and follow-up process are working together.
Check the sales follow-up
A profitable ad can still fail if leads sit unanswered. Speed and quality of response are part of campaign performance.
