What To Run On. Top Keywords!
When to Run. AT THE VERY MINIMUM – Black Weekend starting on Thanksgiving
and the last shopping week of the season
Where To Be: 1st or 2nd Position Wins it All
What to Say:
- Keep it simple – 2 second rule! CTA + Offer
- Buy from your phone, in-stock now, include price, indicate how long it takes to
shipRemember that Google is now dropping that
2nd line of copy on mobile to show extensions!

1. Ambiguous And Branded Keywords To Be Most Impacted
2. Close Variants matter more on Mobile Devices
3. In a nutshell, an efficient negative keyword strategy is
getting more crucial now than ever.

Date & Time can be adjusted for International standards. I.E. MM/DD/YYYY vs DD/MM/YYYY
If you are localizing for international markets you need to use Language Code. It will automatically
translate “Days”, “Hours” into the correct language

Why your ads might be rejected or not showing?
• Copy exceeds Description or Title character limits
• Promo has ended, so the ad stops displaying.
Examples:
• BF Pricing ends in X!
• X left for Free Shipping!
• X to buy before Christmas!

Give the customers more relevant information – it’s
better for conversion!

If you have 100 visitors to your site and 3
convert…97 didn’t.
It’s easier to get 1 more of those 97 to convert than
it is find 33 more potentially qualified customers.-Katy Tonkin (@katytonkin) doing amazing math!

Remove “Purchasers” from the targeting specific product ads so that you aren’t
showing them a product they already bought online. Instead use the Purchasers
segment to x-sell products.
Frequency Caps: 15-20 views per month
Burning: Don’t be overly annoying.
Remove customers that haven’t purchased after 30 days
