Google Search Partners: 5 Misconceptions & How It Really Works

By Amy Bishop | Apr 1, 2022 | Search Engine Journal

Read the article here.

The Google Search Partner network lets advertisers extend their reach, but it’s not without its drawbacks. The biggest downside is the lack of transparency and control. There is limited data about where your ads are displayed, and you can’t prevent ads from displaying in placements with poor performance or controversial content. Google’s Search Partners network also includes parked domains that can drain your budget without your ads ever being seen by real users. You also have limited control over ad auctions, as bid modifiers cannot be used. So, how do you make the search partners network work for your campaigns? I cover five common misconceptions about Google Search Partners, including:

  1. All Sites Included Are Smaller Search Engines
  2. The Search Partners Are Only For Traditional Search Campaigns
  3. Just Because The Search Partners Didn’t Work Before Means They Never Will
  4. The Most Granular Insight You Can Get Into Search Partners Is By Segmenting By Search Partner Network At The Campaign Level
  5. If The CPA Is Higher In Search Partners, There’s Nothing That Can Be Done

Additionally, I cover steps you can take to improve performance on Google Search Partners:

  • Segment Out Your Campaigns By Match Type
  • Segment Out Your Campaigns By Device
  • Segment Out Your Campaigns By Match Type
  • Segmenting Out An RLSA Campaign
  • Duplicating A Campaign Just For Search Partners

Responsive search ads (RSAs) are soon to be the only standard Search campaign type in Google Ads. “With this ad format, you provide up to 15 headlines and four descriptions and Google will mix and match those into ads that best fit each search.
