Google Ads will make it easier to determine how campaign changes impact ad performance by allowing advertisers to view campaign changes annotated in their performance charts. Now, with the data shown on one screen, advertisers can better understand the impact of specific changes on their campaign performance. A new “See Explanations” button now appears whenever there’s a significant change in performance from one period of time to another. Google Ads will provide the most likely reasons behind why the changes occurred for changes in impressions, clicks, and cost.

Organic search and PPC complement each other, and you can use data from organic to enhance your PPC strategy. “When you download or sort your organic data by clicks, you’re finding areas that you are likely already performing strongly in. Think of these keywords as opportunities to complement a strong ranking. This gives users double the opportunity to click to your website. On competitive non-brand terms, this extra traffic can be invaluable in converting additional people…If you sort by impressions, your goal should be to uncover underrepresented keywords. Here you can supplement your average or poor organic ranking with an ad in the paid search results.,” writes Mike Matta.

By Lina Danilchik | Feb 14, 2020

You can run mobile A/B testing experiments in Apple Search Ads with the help of Creative Sets. “Since Creative Sets enable publishers to align screenshots & app previews with ad group keyword themes and audience segments (gender, age, location), you can test various combinations of screenshots, track their performance and find out what variations work best,” explains Lina Danilchik. By running ads with custom ad variations that validated their efficiency during Creative Sets testing, you can improve the performance of your app’s ads in search results and consequently increase the tap-through rate (TTR) and the download rate. High TTR, in turn, will help you win more auctions, which will lead to more downloads.
