Common Mistakes

Protocol

Step 1: Gather Campaign Requirements

If the user hasn't provided details, ask:

1. Product/service: what are you advertising? (name, URL, price point)
2. Campaign type: Search, Display, Shopping, or Performance Max?
3. Target location: countries, states, cities, or radius?
4. Monthly budget: total ad spend available?
5. Goal: sales, leads, phone calls, or website traffic?
6. Competitors: who else bids on these terms?

Step 2: Keyword Research & Grouping

Keyword intent tiers:

Ad group structure (SKAG-inspired):

Copy code
Campaign: [Product/Service], Search
├── Ad Group 1: [Core keyword theme A]
│   ├── Keywords (5-15): [exact] and "phrase" match variations
│   ├── Responsive Search Ad 1
│   └── Responsive Search Ad 2
├── Ad Group 2: [Core keyword theme B]
│   ├── Keywords (5-15): [exact] and "phrase" match variations
│   ├── Responsive Search Ad 1
│   └── Responsive Search Ad 2
├── Ad Group 3: [Brand terms]
│   ├── Keywords: [brand name], [brand + product]
│   └── Responsive Search Ad (brand-specific)
└── Ad Group 4: [Competitor terms]
    ├── Keywords: [competitor name + alternative]
    └── Responsive Search Ad (comparison angle)

Negative keyword starter list:

Customize negatives based on the specific business.

Step 3: Write Responsive Search Ads (RSA)

Each RSA requires up to 15 headlines (30 chars each) and 4 descriptions (90 chars each). Google rotates and tests combinations automatically.

Headline categories (provide at least 3 from each):

RSA template:

Copy code
Headlines (15):
H1: [Primary keyword + core benefit]              ← pin to position 1
H2: [Secondary benefit or feature]                  ← pin to position 2
H3: [Social proof: customer count or rating]
H4: [Offer: free trial, discount, or guarantee]    ← pin to position 3
H5: [Feature 1]
H6: [Feature 2]
H7: [Feature 3]
H8: [Urgency, limited time or scarcity]
H9: [Question, "Need [solution]?"]
H10: [Brand name + value proposition]
H11: [Competitor comparison angle]
H12: [Outcome, "Get [result] in [timeframe]"]
H13: [Trust, "Award-Winning" or "Top Rated"]
H14: [Location-specific if relevant]
H15: [Alternative phrasing of H1]

Descriptions (4):
D1: [Expand on the core value prop. Include a CTA. 90 chars max.]  ← pin to position 1
D2: [List 2-3 features with benefits. 90 chars max.]
D3: [Social proof + trust signal. 90 chars max.]
D4: [Offer details + urgency + CTA. 90 chars max.]                  ← pin to position 2

Pinning strategy:

• Pin your best keyword-match headline to position 1 (guarantees relevance)
• Pin your best CTA description to position 1
• Leave all others unpinned so Google can optimize combinations
• Never pin more than 3 elements, over-pinning kills Google's ability to test

Step 4: Configure Ad Extensions

Ad extensions increase ad real estate and improve CTR by 10-15%.

Sitelink template:

Copy code
Sitelink 1: [Page Name]
  - Description 1: [Benefit or detail, 35 chars]
  - Description 2: [Supporting detail, 35 chars]
  - URL: [landing page URL]

Step 5: Quality Score Optimization

Quality Score (1-10) directly affects CPC and ad position. Three factors:

Quality Score action plan:

Step 6: Bidding Strategy & Budget

Bidding strategy selection:

Budget allocation:

Daily budget calculation:

• Monthly budget ÷ 30.4 = daily budget
• Allocate per campaign based on percentages above
• Google may spend up to 2x daily budget on high-traffic days (averages over month)

Step 7: Launch Checklist & Optimization Schedule

Pre-launch checklist:

• Conversion tracking verified (test conversion fires correctly)
• Google Tag installed on all landing pages
• Negative keyword list applied
• Ad extensions configured (minimum: sitelinks + callouts)
• Landing pages load <3 seconds (test on mobile)
• Geotargeting set correctly
• Ad schedule matches business hours (if applicable)
• Budget and bidding strategy configured

Optimization schedule:
