Key Points for Fixing Structure Problems

  1. Identify Structural Issues

    • Unrelated Keywords: Ad groups may contain keywords from unrelated families, leading to poor performance.

    • Intent Alignment: Each keyword should represent one search intent as if one person is searching in different ways for the same thing.

  2. Impact of Multiple Intents

    • Ad Relevance: It’s challenging to write an ad that effectively addresses multiple intents within one ad group.

    • Quality Score: Misaligned intents can lead to lower quality scores and poor ad performance.

  3. Restructuring Options

    • Campaign Level: Restructure the entire campaign if necessary.

    • Ad Group Level: Focus on one ad group at a time for more controlled testing and optimization.

  4. Testing and Monitoring

    • Focus First: Start with one ad group, restructure, and monitor results for a few days.

    • Assess Impact: If restructuring improves results significantly, proceed with the entire campaign. If not, refine the ad copy and continue testing.

  5. Analyzing Ad Group Performance

    • Well-Structured Groups: Identify ad groups with good structure but low CTR. Investigate further to identify issues.

    • Quality Score: Check for misalignment between keywords, ads, and landing pages if quality scores are low.

  6. Landing Page Compliance

    • Policies and Privacy: Ensure your landing page complies with Google’s policies, including privacy policies and contact information.

    • Domain History: Poor historical performance can affect current quality scores. Make necessary changes to improve CTR and quality scores over time.

    • Conversion Rate: Your conversion rate are the ultimate evaluation of user experience. (This is not mentioned in the video)

Practical Steps for Restructuring

  1. Evaluate Ad Groups

    • Identify Problems: Look for ad groups with unrelated keywords and multiple intents.

    • Select Focus Area: Choose one ad group to restructure and test.

  2. Restructure and Monitor

    • Single Intent: Group keywords by single intent for each ad group.

    • Monitor Results: Observe the performance changes over a few days.

  3. Optimize Ad Copy

    • Ad Relevance: Ensure ads are highly relevant to the keywords in the ad group.

    • Continuous Improvement: If restructuring doesn’t yield immediate results, work on refining ad copy.

  4. Check Landing Pages

    • Policy Compliance: Verify that your landing pages meet Google’s requirements.

    • Alignment: Ensure that landing pages align with the ad copy and keywords for better performance.

    • Conversion Rate: Your conversion rate are the ultimate evaluation of user experience. (Not mentioned in the video)

  5. Address Historical Issues

    • Historical CTR: If quality scores remain low, address any historical issues with CTR and performance.
