With paid search becoming easier to set up but harder to manager, it’s even more important to have an expert managing your accounts. With the huge increase in the use of AI in paid search it’s not enough to leave all the decision to AI – you need to decide which features to use, and in what way, to maximise efficiency and deliver the results you need. Only humans have the imagination and empathy to fully understand what customers need, so humans need to direct the power of AI by setting the testing goals and objectives for the AI engines.

You now have a variety of campaigns available that will do a lot of the heavy lifting, so effective paid search is now much more than just keywords and ad copy. In 2024, search engines and Generative AI will merge creating the biggest change to the search landscape we've experienced.
Now it’s more important than ever to focus on the aspects of your campaigns that help make paid search one of the most successful marketing channels. We work very closely with other departments to make sure you get the best results possible overall.
It’s crucial that the following aspects of your campaigns are considered alongside your Google Ads account optimisation:
CRO – Conversion Rate Optimisation
Having a bad landing page experience can instantly ruin your paid search; you do the hard work of getting people your website for them to leave straight away. Making sure you have the best possible landing page experience can really increase your paid search effectiveness. Conversion Rate Optimisation experiments can ensure your landing pages live up to expectations.
Running experiments need not be complex; using Google Ad Experiments (part of every Google Ads account) is free and allows you to split traffic between two landing page variants. Results can be obtained relatively quickly and benefit both paid search and organic search landing pages.
SEO, CRO and PPC are inseparable and should not be optimised in isolation of each other.
