    Study Notes

    Digital Marketing - Session 7: SEA

    • Welcome! Digital Marketing; Session 7: SEA, presented by Axel Partouche.

    Chapter 1: Concepts and Definitions

    • Search Engine Advertising (SEA): A branch of search engine marketing (SEM). It places paid advertisements directly into search engine results and on partner websites.

    • Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Focuses on improving a website's accessibility using keywords.

    • Google's Business Model: Google's primary revenue comes from advertising, notably since the creation of its search engine. Other major search engines similarly utilize ads.

    • AdWords and Quality Score (QS): Google popularized the paid ad placement concept through AdWords. Ad positioning relies on factors like auctions, click-through rate (CTR), and Quality Score (QS). The advertiser only pays when a displayed link is clicked.

    • SERP Changes in 2016: In 2016, Google reorganized AdWords placement, adding a fourth "Premium" position above the natural search results.

    Chapter 2: Performance and Quality Score

    • Bidding, CTR, and Quality Score: Key elements in SEA performance.

    • Quality Score (QS) Elements: Google Ads defines Quality Score based on these three elements:

    • Relevance: How well the ad and landing page align with the keyword.

    • Landing Page Quality: Site clarity, ease of navigation, and relevance to the ad.

    • Previous Ad Performance: Estimated CTR based on past paid ad performance.

    • Keywords: Choose effective keywords from the beginning. Prioritize exact match keywords. Leverage brand-related keywords for higher quality scores. Exclude irrelevant keywords to improve click-through rates.

    • Ad Extensions (and CTR): Using effective ad extensions can enhance visibility and increase CTR.

    • Low CTR Ad Group Monitoring: Pay attention to ad groups with low click-through rates (CTR). Low CTR can negatively impact Quality Score (QS). Google identifies low performing ads which are not relevant.

    • A/B Testing (in AdWords): Using A/B testing in campaign optimization is recommended to improve ads.

    • Account Overview: Quality levels in your account (also known as vertical QS) are derived from account history, impacting performance. Gaining precision requires considering geolocation (local campaigns) and dynamic elements (campaigns may need several months to reveal potential).

    • Landing Pages: Optimize landing pages:

    • Pay attention to bounce rate and time on page.

    • Prioritize clear, user-friendly landing pages.

    • Keep landing pages relevant to both ads and keywords used.

    Chapter 3: Concrete Overview

    • Keyword Planner: A Google Search Engine Advertising (SEA) tool for analyzing, planning, and researching keywords. The tool estimates potential search traffic for specific keywords.

    • Campaign Set-up: Google Ads offers options for different campaign types, including search, display, shopping, and video ads.

    • Targeting and Audience Segments: Features in Google Ads to precisely target audiences. Locations and languages are crucial elements in targeting strategies.
