Are you struggling with high CTR but no conversions<\/strong>? It\u2019s a common concern for many marketers, especially when you start out with Google Ads. It can be even more alarming when you see that your ads are attracting plenty of clicks, but they don\u2019t translate to conversions.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself in this frustrating situation, then it\u2019s time to do some investigating. Let\u2019s see how to improve conversion rate in your campaign.<\/p>\n

How to Improve Conversions in Google Ads<\/h2>\n

This problem really boils down to one of two things \u2014 either your ad campaign or your website. One of the two is poorly-optimized.<\/p>\n

Your website may look good on the surface, but it may be lacking in conversion rate optimization<\/em>, which means it\u2019s doing a poor job of nurturing trust with visitors and isn\u2019t offering the best user experience.<\/p>\n

Similarly, your campaign may be fully set-up, but inconsistencies in your ads, keywords, and landing pages can disrupt the flow, ultimately making your ads miss the mark with your target audience.<\/p>\n

So, how can we fix this?<\/p>\n

The Ad Campaign Checklist to Improve Conversions<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s consider each element individually. Firstly, you should put your ad campaign under the microscope to see if it is truly on point. Make sure you\u2019re on top of the following:<\/p>\n

Relevancy Matters<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Balance your match types. <\/strong>By relying heavily on broad match types, <\/em>you can get lots of traffic, but it will be unqualified, and less likely to convert.<\/li>\n
  2. Negative keywords are quality filters.<\/strong> Keep an eye out for irrelevant search queries and add them to your campaign as negative keywords. This will improve targeting so you attract more relevant traffic. Check the PPCexpo<\/em> Search Query Report to discover new keywords and negative keywords.<\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t overuse ad extensions.<\/strong> They can boost your click rate, but conversions are more important so don\u2019t keep extensions on if there is no significant return in conversions.<\/li>\n
  4. Use dynamic keyword injection (DKI).<\/strong> This feature can boost relevance. Alternatively, you can try the responsive ads feature.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Targeting<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Verify location.<\/strong> You want to be sure that your ads are being shown to the right people. Otherwise, you\u2019ll just be getting vanity clicks that are useless to your bottom line.<\/li>\n
    2. Timing is crucial.<\/strong> People may be interacting with your ads at a certain time of day, but they have no intentions of following through. By running a click performance report, you can determine the best time to run your ads.<\/li>\n
    3. Long-tail keywords are best. <\/strong>Bid high on these and set them as an exact match. <\/em>This will attract very targeted traffic, bringing in users who are further along the customer journey.<\/li>\n
    4. Think about devices.<\/strong> Your ad may be underperforming on a certain device. Try bidding low in these instances, and invest more of your budget on the devices that are generating better results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Analysis<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Enable conversion tracking.<\/strong> It\u2019s imperative that Google Ads<\/a> data is being synced with your Google Analytics goals data.<\/li>\n
      2. Consider business objectives.<\/strong> Your campaign should be aligned with your goals. For example, if you want more brand awareness, try video ads to see a surge in engagement.<\/li>\n
      3. Check for click fraud.<\/strong> It may be possible that your clicks are fraudulent, and therefore invalid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
