Let\u2019s dig in.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Reducing Average CPC and Managing Wasted Spend<\/h3>\n<p>One of the main objectives of <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/ppc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PPC advertising<\/a> is reducing how much you spend, which is why keeping your eye on wasted spend and reducing your CPC is important.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some key points to help you achieve this goal:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Long Tail Keywords &#8211; <\/strong>Similar to true love, valuable <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/long-tail-keyword-examples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">long-tail keywords<\/a> are rare. However, once they\u2019re found, they can really benefit your campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to data research, single-word phrases are competitive and therefore quite costly. On the other hand, long-tail keywords (4 or more words) are less competitive and a lot cheaper. You\u2019ll also be aligned with stronger search intent, which will lead to more conversions down the line.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Negative Keywords For Less Wasted Spend &#8211; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/negative-keyword-examples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Negative keywords<\/a> prevent your ad from being triggered by a certain phrase or word. This means, for people who are searching for that phrase, your ad won\u2019t be shown. Negative keywords don\u2019t cost you any money to set up, which makes it something free that will save you money!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These negative keywords are vital for <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/ppc-optimization-checklist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reducing wasted spend<\/a> and to boost campaign performance. Conduct regular query report overviews to identify irrelevant questions, then add these irrelevant words to your campaign as negative keywords. This should be done on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/PPC-Signal\/best-ppc-optimization-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345 ppc_signal_middle_ads\" src=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ppc-signal-ad-3.png\" alt=\"google ads promo code\"><\/a><\/div>\n<h3>2. Increase Your ROAS (Return On Ad Spend)<\/h3>\n<p>Here are some tips on how you can properly manage your <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/what-is-roas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ROAS<\/a> &#8211; in other words, how much of your ad spend you get back from your campaign efforts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Multiple Devices and Bids Adjustment: <\/strong>By setting different bids for mobile, desktop and tablet devices, you\u2019ll be able to improve your ROAS since you won\u2019t be spending as much on certain devices that aren\u2019t as popular with your specific audience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Typically, you\u2019ll want to bid lower for mobile. This is because shoppers are usually just browsing via mobile, rather than actually purchasing. Spending less on what\u2019s not working while increasing spend on what <em>is<\/em> working will increase your return.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Time and Location in Bids Adjustment: <\/strong>This works similarly to adjusting device bids. By simply <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/google-ads-bid-adjustments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">adjusting your bids<\/a>, based on the location of the query and time of day, you\u2019ll be able to reduce your wasted spend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, if you know your ads aren\u2019t converting well over the weekend, you can reduce your bids for that time of the week since you know it\u2019s not as valuable.<\/p>\n<p>Or, vice-versa.<\/p>\n<p>If you see that your ads are doing well on Tuesdays, you can increase your bids for that specific day. Then, boost your results even further by adjust bids based on location data.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Boost Your ROI (Return on Investment)<\/h3>\n<p>Your return on investment (ROI) is very important, However, what makes it even more important is its relationship with Quality Score.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quality Score and Google Ads ROI:<\/strong> Understanding the overarching role of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/what-is-a-good-quality-score\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quality Score<\/a> through Google is important. If you have a quality score of 7 or higher, Google will offer you a discount, compared to what others are paying for that specific click. This discount can save you anywhere upwards of 50%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The takeaway: ROI isn\u2019t only winning conversions, but including QS knowledge will also help you save some money.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Google Ads ROI Technicalities: <\/strong>On the reverse side of things, if you have a quality score of 6, your overall cost is slightly raised. If you sink down towards a score of 1 or 2, then getting a solid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ppcexpo.com\/blog\/adwords-roi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Ads ROI<\/a> is impossible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This punishment comes from Google\u2019s tendency to value the user\u2019s experience above all else.<\/p>\n<h2>Get Ahead, and Stay Ahead<\/h2>\n<p>You need to properly and constantly measure each goal to understand whether or not you\u2019re on the right track. Only then can you achieve your objectives, and set new, higher targets.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/ppc-audit\/free-ppc-audit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4345 ppc_audit_middle_ads\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/ppcexpo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ppcaduitaccount-2.jpg\" alt=\" ppc audit report bottom\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Without a compass, the explorer is lost (along with precious ad spend).
