Leading can be challenging with PPC campaigns. Generating high-quality leads is even more difficult.
In eCommerce, if someone has the money to buy the product, they can make that purchase on the site. One person’s money is nearly as good because the next. Once a sale is made, revenue is tracked and, if all is set properly, it is attributed back to the initial ad click.
Lead generation is nowhere near that simple.
Lead generation leaves the door open for anyone to turn to the first lead conversion phase, regardless of their actual ability to purchase the initial product. Because of this, we need to develop strategies to target high-quality leads and prevent ineligible users from filling out our forms.
We provide some proven strategies that you can use to generate better quality, bottom-of-the-funnel leads from your B2B PPC campaigns. Let’s dive in.
Set up proper URL tracking.
To properly measure the effectiveness of your campaigns, you need to make sure that you are able to track key elements other than conversions. This data will allow you to work out which campaign and site a lead came from, the keywords they looked for, the device they were on, and so on.
In Google Ads, the foremost effective way is to line the tracking parameters within the “Campaign URL Options (Advanced)” section under Campaign Settings. Here, you “{lpurl}?” After you can enter your parameters. as shown below. The {lpurl} portion will be automatically replaced by the landing page URL set for each ad in your campaign.
Don’t Forget to Include Negative Keywords
In PPC marketing it is one of the best and effective strategies to increase conversions.
Negative keywords are the main component of a successful PPC keyword list. These are the keywords that prevent your ads from being generated by irrelevant search queries and protect your ads from ads that could be wasted by irrelevant clicks. They significantly reduce unnecessary ad impressions and have a greater inclination towards making your ads relevant and focused. By filtering out unwanted clicks, negative keywords improve your click-through rate.
As more qualified visitors are attracted with the help of negative keywords, they are more likely to lead to an increase in conversions. With better clickthrough rates and increased conversions, your overall Quality Score goes up and the cost per click decreases. For example, if you own eCommerce selling new washing machines. Neither you sell second-hand washing machines nor do you repair washing machines. To prevent your ads from showing irrelevant search queries like second-hand washing machines and repair washing machines, you can add “second-hand” and “repair” to your negative keyword list.
Optimize Your Ads
PPC promoting is your 1st impression in front of your customers, so make sure it is the most useful. Having a relevant and optimized landing page makes no sense when your ads are not even able to generate clicks. Your ads need to be optimized. Each lesson has a title by which you can attract a lot of customers. Next is the display URL, which shows the address where your customer is about to land after clicking on your ad. PPC ads are viewed with detailed lines that you can use to highlight the unique selling proposition of your product/service.
When creating advertisements, make sure that they are specific and relevant. Be concise and to the point. Avoid all unnecessary words and include words that add value to your product/service. Target users’ emotions as the emotional connection lead to more interest leading to more conversions. Your PPC ads are incomplete without a call-to-action, so be sure to include one.
There are some mistakes that you should avoid with PPC advertisements. The first is that you should use neither all caps nor capital letters within a word. You should avoid using unnecessary points and repeated symbols. Another thing to check is a vacancy. Make sure there is no extra space between letters or words.
Optimize PPC Campaigns for Mobile
Depending on the type of traffic, a great technique is to break down your campaigns by the device to increase the performance of the entire campaign. Over time, the number of mobile users has increased. And for this, it becomes very important to create a separate campaign for mobile.
If you do not have clear mobile advertising campaigns to promote your product on mobile devices, then possibly fall behind your competitors. A large number of the population uses mobile phones or tablets. This means that you have campaigns optimized specifically for mobile users.
With mobile-optimized campaigns, you can have a better opportunity to engage your mobile customers in the right format on your favorite device. In addition, you can get more qualified traffic by segregating campaigns by device. You can also create mobile-friendly landing pages for your existing campaigns because if you are unable to make your landing pages viewable on mobile, you could lose a lot of potential customers.
Not only is a mobile-optimized landing page sufficient, but you also have to observe user behavior on mobile devices.
When designing a landing page for mobile, if you have long forms, you can probably miss opportunities to convert a lot of visitors into customers. To avoid this, you should ask for minimum information to qualify the visitor into a lead. You must also take into account the loading time of your mobile landing page to immediately attract user attention. Even a second of delay can negatively impact your mobile conversion. Also, reduce distractions on the landing page and focus your attention on the title, benefits, and CTA of your products.
