Here's how a lot of people go wrong with Google Ads.

(I'll create a video about this one day.)


They think if they had this ad group:

1731916764920.webp


Then:
  • Someone searching "cleaners london" sees ad headline "London Cleaners".
  • Someone searching "cleaners durham" sees ad headline "Durham Cleaners.
  • Someone searching "cleaners oxford" sees ad headline "Oxford Cleaners".

So they think this would happen:

1731916775038.webp

1731916793036.webp

1731916801436.webp



But that's NOT what happens.

Someone searching "cleaners london" could see any of the headlines in position 1:

1731916812134.webp

And likewise for the 2 other cities.



To get the right location in the headline we'd have to use dynamic keyword insertion (which I don't use) or set up 3 separate ad groups like this:

1731916906382.webp

1731916988907.webp

1731917004532.webp




The campaign with those ad groups would target the whole of the country (the UK in this case).

So the campaign and ad groups would look something like this:

1731925490097.webp




We'd also want to setup 3 more campaigns, one targeting each city, and bid on keywords such as "cleaners near me".

So for the campaign targeting people in (or regularly in) London, the keyword would be "cleaners near me" and ad headline 1 would be "London Cleaners".

The campaign and ad groups would look something like this:

1731925447623.webp



EDIT: I created a LinkedIn carousel out of this:
