Let's dive into the first step of setting up a Google Ads campaign, which is choosing a campaign goal. Why is this important?
I think it helps to know what we want to achieve?
Exactly! A clear goal, such as sales, leads, or website traffic, gives our campaign direction. Remember the acronym SMART for setting goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
Can you give an example of a campaign goal?
Sure! For instance, if you want to increase online sales by 20% over the next quarter, that's a specific and measurable goal.
What if we have multiple goals?
Great question! It's best to prioritize them to maintain focus, ensuring that efforts are aligned with the most critical objectives.
