AI-driven tools help automate recurring and most time-intensive tasks, such as sifting through bulks of data for actionable intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Any seasoned search engine marketing (SEM) manager will tell you managing campaigns is not an easy feat as Google and other self-proclaimed gurus make it appear.<\/p>\n<p>There is lots of stuff to be done within the limited hours you have in a typical working day, namely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keyword analysis<\/li>\n<li>Negative keyword research<\/li>\n<li>Data analysis and visualization<\/li>\n<li>Optimization activities<\/li>\n<li>Relationship building<\/li>\n<li>Strategic and general business activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The list above is not even a fraction of the activities you have to accomplish within a day.

You could exclude ads on Google Chrome albeit that may be a risky tactic as iPhone users could still be using Chrome.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can send users from mobile devices to a mobile-specific landing page. More interesting, you could create totally different ads for users who are using iOS.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to create specific ads for specific platforms has a multiplying effect on your clients\u2019 ad campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be flexible to increase, or decrease, bids separately for different devices. If you notice that mobile users are converting more than desktop, you should raise bid adjustments to drive maximum ROIs and other goals.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mobile-device-targeting-2.jpg\" alt=\"Mobile Device Targeting\"><\/div>\n<h3>What are the Money-driven Benefits of Accurate Device Targeting?<\/h3>\n<p>Read below to find great information regarding device targeting with good benefits.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Monstrous Growth in Mobile Devices Penetration<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mobile devices are on a hyper-growth path in today\u2019s global economy.<\/p>\n<p>The number of smartphones in circulation is almost the same as the world\u2019s population. Device segmentation allows you to target with precision the users of these devices.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at how many of your visitors come via a mobile device in your analytics.<\/p>\n<p>You might be surprised to find more mobile visitors than any other device.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you\u2019ll be able to make adjustments in your campaigns based on the devices being used. Look out for trends that indicate the most popular times and days and devices and create separate campaigns to benefit from the differences.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Different Demographics with Suitable Messages<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of the most prolific features that artificial intelligence has brought to marketing is precision targeting.<\/p>\n<p>Why do you think the rise of Amazon led to the sudden death of brick-and-mortar book stores?<\/p>\n<p>When you go to Amazon, you are presented with book options specifically tailored for you based on past search history and other factors.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re an avid reader of cat books, you won\u2019t be led to the dog section. Essentially, you don\u2019t have to waste time sifting through the whole stock of books just to get your preferred one.<\/p>\n<p>You can now tailor marketing content to speak only to the target audience.<\/p>\n<p>You can tailor the campaigns based on the age and gender of your audiences as well as household income. Mobile users are often younger, desktop users are more commonly used by men, and tablet users tend to be older females, according to multiple surveys.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you should create PPC campaigns tailor-made for different behaviors on various mobile devices.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345 tip\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mobile-device-targeting-tip-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tips\"><\/div>\n<p>Why don\u2019t you take advantage of this by tailoring your clients\u2019 PPC campaigns to align with voice search requirements?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Wastage-free Ad Budget Management<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Device segmentation can help you split the budget efficiently between the devices based on their performance.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, data in today\u2019s world is the new currency.<\/p>\n<p>You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/turning-data-into-actionable-insights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data to derive actionable insights<\/a> on how to optimize budget allocation for the best-performing devices for maximum desired goals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Profitable Bid Management<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bidding is one of the areas where most PPC managers fail. They overbid for keywords when they should not.<\/p>\n<p>The vice-versa is also true.<\/p>\n<p>Some managers underbid, which causes the ads to lose out to the competition when opportunities arise.<\/p>\n<p>Didn\u2019t you receive the memo that the rules of the PPC game are now governed by data?<\/p>\n<p>Data-driven systems can really help you know when to raise or lower bids based on the data. For instance, if your data shows that a huge chunk of your mobile audiences is converting than other devices, it\u2019s time to pull the plug.<\/p>\n<p>What do I mean?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to cut expenditure on desktops, smart TVs, and tablets and focus on your top earner. The aforementioned is aligned with the Pareto rule, which states that 80% of the effects are driven by 20% causes.<\/p>\n<p>If the mobile device audiences constitute <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/what-is-the-pareto-principle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">20% driving 80% of <\/a>your client\u2019s results, cut other sources of wastage without mercy.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is what seasoned PPC managers call precision targeting.<\/p>\n<p>After all, your major goal is to help your clients drive maximum desired results (traffic, clicks, ROIs, etc.) with a minimum cost per action (CPA).<\/p>\n<h2>How to Identify Accurate Mobile Behavior for Profitable Device Targeting<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re setting up different ads for mobile devices, the first thing to ask:<\/p>\n<p>What different behaviors or trends have you noticed from different mobile users that will influence changes in your clients\u2019 PPC ad campaigns?<\/p>\n<p>Putting aside differences that will be specific to your clients, there are several basic things to consider when considering mobile users:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Screen size<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A mobile or tablet screen is smaller than a desktop.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, the search engine results page (and your landing pages\/ website) will display differently.<\/p>\n<p>If your clients\u2019 PPC ads are shown in positions one or two on mobile, then they will be at the top of the SERP and take up almost the whole mobile screen.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, on desktop, the SERP is large.<\/p>\n<p>Your ads will take up a lower percentage of the screen, potentially making the ads less visible to attract clicks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Activities of The Target Audiences<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Consider what the typical users do while on mobile.<\/p>\n<p>When users are using a desktop computer to browse Google they\u2019re typically sitting down and relatively settled.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, mobile users could be doing anything, from riding the subway, eating in a restaurant, to working out at the gym.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the aforementioned, attention spans will differ.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping your clients\u2019 PPC ads, simple and easy to skim for mobile users could be the difference-maker.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Nature of your Paid Search Clients\u2019 Products<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Complex buying decisions with a high degree of financial and\/or emotional risk may be less likely to happen on a mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>With only 34% of high-value online purchases happening on mobile, you potentially need to think about your clients\u2019 goals when running mobile-only campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of focusing purposely on purchases, you could use CTAs offering more content, or persuade leads to join your clients\u2019 mailing lists.<\/p>\n<h3>Device Targeting Strategy: How to Analyze the Effectiveness of a PPC Mobile Device Targeting Campaign<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mobile-device-targeting-3.jpg\" alt=\"Mobile Device Targeting\"><\/div>\n<p>Like I said earlier, there are VERY many devices on the market.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s incredibly easy to show your ads on the wrong ones, which can have a disastrous effect on your PPC ad campaigns\u2019 performance.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you determine what device works and what doesn\u2019t in your clients\u2019 ad campaigns,<\/p>\n<p>Before we jump into the most recommended AI-driven PPC management tools, it\u2019s essential to first understand how a proper marketing funnel functions.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mobile-device-targeting-4.jpg\" alt=\"Mobile Device Targeting\"><\/div>\n<h3>Buyer\u2019s Journey: Device Targeting Preparation<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at each of these stages to gain a clearer understanding of your <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/understanding-customer-experience-throughout-the-customer-journey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">marketing funnel and the buyer\u2019s journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0 1. Awareness<\/h4>\n<p>In the first stage of every advertising campaign, the objective is to develop brand recognition among audiences and gauge your paid search campaigns\u2019 processes.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, you must also measure your campaigns\u2019 impressions, impression share, lost IS and EMIS<\/p>\n<p>Awareness Stage: Device Analysis<\/p>\n<p>The awareness stage is located at the top of the funnel.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, it\u2019s vital to identify what device your target audience is using the most. For instance, if you\u2019re marketing a mobile-based item, it makes the most sense to tailor-make ads specifically for mobile users.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some metrics you could use to measure for device targeting during the awareness stage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Impression share<\/li>\n<li>Top impression percentage<\/li>\n<li>Absolute top impression percentage<\/li>\n<li>Lost IS (Lost Impression Share)<\/li>\n<li>Impressions breakdown by device<\/li>\n<li>Exact match impression share (EMIS)<\/li>\n<li>Which hour of the day is best\/worst \u2013\u00a0This is with respect to EMIS for your device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Data-driven Decisions to Make<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pinpointing the best combination of geographical location, the hour of the day, and the day of the week for a specific device will give you the perfect candidate for your bid increase.<\/li>\n<li>Find the\u00a0worst-performing\u00a0combination and mark it for a bid reduction.<\/li>\n<li>If the device type is irrelevant, stop bidding on it. For instance, if you\u2019re displaying ads on mobiles, but your PPC client\u2019s landing page isn\u2019t optimized for mobile yet, you\u2019ll see a lot of bounces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\u00a0 2. Consideration<\/h4>\n<p>This is where you switch your focus from creating brand awareness to generating leads for your esteem paid search clients.<\/p>\n<p>It involves developing relevant and engaging ad content to encourage your target audience to purchase the products (and services) you\u2019re clients are offering.<\/p>\n<p>Here, you have to consider clickthrough rates (CTR) and engagements.<\/p>\n<p>Consideration Stage: Device Analysis<\/p>\n<p>This stage correlates with the consideration stage of the customer journey. Below are some vital device targeting metrics to measure in the device analysis:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clicks<\/li>\n<li>Cost<\/li>\n<li>Wasted spend \u2013\u00a0This shows which device dimension combinations are wasting the most amount of your campaign budget.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Data-driven Decisions to Make<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Bid high on devices generating cheap clicks and not causing <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/ppc-optimization-checklist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wasted spend<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Remove geographical locations generating expensive clicks and causing ad budget wastage.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce hour of the day (HoD) and day of the week (DoW) bids generating expensive clicks and wasted spend.<\/li>\n<li>Increase bids on keywords that are attracting cheaper clicks based on your historical analysis research. Reduce bids on expensive keywords.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\u00a0 3. Decision &amp; Conversion<\/h4>\n<p>This is the final goal of every PPC ad campaign as it deals with conversions, i.e., the action you have defined as valuable to your search engine marketing (SEM) clients.<\/p>\n<p>You can use reports to analyze the conversions and costs of different device types.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you have to ensure you\u2019ve measured the device performance during each stage of your leads\u2019 journey.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>This will help you determine whether the device is working correctly for a specific campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Below are critical device targeting metrics to measure when you\u2019re at the decision stage or device analysis point of your marketing funnel and customer journey.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conversion \u2013This measures the devices that are generating conversion, and the geographical location, keywords, and match type that work best for the specific devices.<\/li>\n<li>Cost per conversion \u2013To understand the device is generating cheaper conversions.<\/li>\n<li>Conversion Rate \u2013To identify devices generating good and poor conversion rates at geo, HoD, and DoW.<\/li>\n<li>Return on Advertising Spend \u2013This helps you determine the devices that generate the best return on your investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345\" style=\"max-width: 80%;\" src=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mobile-device-targeting-5.jpg\" alt=\"Mobile Device Targeting\"><\/div>\n<h3>Data-driven Decisions to Make<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Bid higher on profitable devices, geo-locations, and day of the week (DoW).<\/li>\n<li>Bid higher on profitable keywords<\/li>\n<li>Focus on conversion rate optimization for devices lacking in profitability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>How Can You can Leverage Data-driven Tools to Boost your Device Targeting to New Heights?<\/h4>\n<p>Data-driven decision-making is based on the insights derived from the information database.<\/p>\n<p>The process is more objective and can be quickly evaluated according to the influence of the data on metrics.

Essentially, there are massive amounts of data to go over if multiple Google Ads accounts are involved.<\/p>\n<p>Did I even mention the countless metrics + dimensions combinations you have to sift through individually?<\/p>\n<p>When dealing with multiple PPC campaigns, you need to bring all of your data to the forefront and apply analysis for actionable insights.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine you have a campaign with 20 ad groups, each group consisting of 20 keywords.
