Manager Analysis

In July, the Google Ads campaign achieved 73 clicks with an average cost per click (CPC) of $7.02 and a click-through rate (CTR) of 2.79%. July marked the first month of the campaign, which faced budget limitations due to the extensive target area and high competition. Despite this constraint, there were opportunities to reach more high-intent users by refining the target locations to more specific areas initially. To enhance campaign performance, research-related search terms were added to the negative keywords list. The CBD areas exhibited intense keyword competition, with bids ranging from $10 to over $38 to secure a first-page position, and even higher for the top 3 positions. Unfortunately, the campaign targeting rural areas received minimal impressions as the CBD targeting campaign absorbed most of the budget. To overcome the budget limitations, the team focused on discovering other keyword variations with high intent but low competition. They also recommended scaling down the target locations to areas with high search volume but lower competition to optimise results. Looking ahead to August, the team plans to continue refining the demographic targeting to display ads to more relevant users within the service area, further improving the campaign’s overall performance.

Google Ads Analysis

  • 73 Clicks
  • $7.02 Avg. CPC
  • 2.79% CTR
  • July marks the first month of the Google Ads campaign. The campaign is limited by budget due to the large target area and high competition. On the other hand, this means it still has opportunities of reaching more high intent users if the target locations are scaled down to more specific areas first.
  • For July, we added research-related search terms in the negative keywords list. The keyword competition in the CBD areas is very high, spanning between $10 to over $38 just to be shown in the first page. The bids are higher for the top 3 positions. Furthermore, the campaign targeting rural areas has not been receiving Impressions because the CBD targeting campaign has been taking up all of the budget.
  • To overcome budget limitation, we are discovering other keyword variations with high intent but low competition to boost the performance of the campaign. We will also be recommending scaling down with the target locations to areas with high search volume but lower competition.
  • For August, we will be continuing to optimise the demographic targeting to show ads to more relevant users within the service area.
