How-to-Make-Google-Search-Partners-Work-for-You-760x400
Read the article here.

There are pros and cons to the search partner network. The biggest pro? Wider exposure for your ads. The biggest con? The lack of control and visibility. In this article, I first cover exactly what the search partner network is and five of the most common misconceptions. If you’re finding conversion volume in search partners but not at a return that is cost-effective, the first step is to try to identify the root cause for the poor performance so that we can determine the best course of action. You will want to review keyword performance, match types and device usage. Important steps you can take to improve performance are segmenting out your campaigns by match type, device and RLSA, and duplicating a campaign just for search partners by setting the bids much lower than your current campaign so that Google’s search network won’t pick them up.
