Google AdWords Tip #3

By Liam Lally 12th January 2010 Blog & 3 more

Since I am on a roll, my third Google AdWords tip for today is this – before you start, find out how competitive your product or service will be to “bid” on.

The competitiveness of your market can make a huge difference to the amount of money you would need to “bid” to appear on the first page? For example if you wanted to “bid” for the phrase Life Insurance quote, this would could cost you as much as £30 per click!! Would this provide value for money? Do you have a ridiculously large budget, or would you have a high conversion rate to make this pay?

Understanding this is crucial to the success of your Google AdWords marketing campaign.

Testimonials

I have known Liam for around 8 years and have had many conversations about SEO, Google Ad-words and social media. I attended a course on Google Adwords that Liam was running and found that Liam's knowledge of Google Adwords is fantastic and the way he communicated it ensured I left with my head buzzing, full of ideas. I would recommend any of Liam's courses if you are looking for inspiration on anything Google!

Liam has delivered 3 excellent workshops to employees of Bassetlaw District Council and also to local business owners/managers as part of our business support programme. He is an expert in social networking, search engine optimisation and google adwords and has the rare ability to make the most technical subjects understandable at all levels. Delegates have always left his workshops very much the wiser and enthused to use the knowledge to develop their businesses. We will use Liam's services in future programmes and have recommended him to other training providers.
Steve Walker - Retford Enterprise Centre

I recently attended one of Liam's training courses on how to get the best from LinkedIn for business. It was a most informative yet enjoyable morning and I am still not sure how Liam managed to pack so much in to half a day. The pace was just right - lively but totally inclusive - with all the verbal content being backed up by an easy to follow takeaway guide for later use. I look forward to growing my LinkedIn network with all my new knowledge and would thoroughly recommend the course to everyone who is (or wants to be) on LinkedIn.

Liam has helped me get the most out of LinkedIn ensuring that I have the building blocks to create a great network. He took his time to go through the building of the profiles, all the way through to creating groups and the advertising opportunities. Liam is very passionate about what he does and this shows. He wants all his clients to succeed and really does put in the extra effort. I would recommend Liam to anyone and look forward to using his services again.
