Here comes the magic. Click "Get results," and you'll witness the keyword landscape unfold before your eyes. Your main keyword, "chocolate cake," offers an impressive 100,000 to 1 million monthly searches – a tantalizing prospect for any business.

15How do you decide which keywords to target for your Google Ads?Video lesson
In this video lesson on ChatGPT and other AI tools, you'll learn how to choose the right keywords for your Google ads to effectively target your audience. The key point here is understanding what keywords or phrases your potential customers use to search for your products or services on Google.
First, it's crucial to identify the main keyword related to your business. For instance, if you offer email marketing services, "email marketing" would be your main keyword. Then, you need to delve into the specific search terms your customers might use. For example, if someone is searching for "how to send automated emails," they're likely interested in an autoresponder service.
By using Google's Keyword Planner tool, you can gather a list of relevant keywords. Remember, you don't need to use the entire list; around 10 well-chosen keywords will suffice. What's essential is to focus on the quality of the keywords rather than their quantity.
Let's take an example of a pool cleaning service. If someone is searching for "pool chemicals," they might be considering cleaning their pool themselves to save money. This insight helps you tailor your ads to address their needs. In this case, you can create an ad that emphasizes affordability and convenience, targeting those who want to save money while maintaining their pool.
The video highlights that your list of keywords will evolve over time based on the performance of your ads. You'll refine and adjust your keywords to optimize your ad campaigns and attract the right audience. The key is to understand your customers' intentions and craft ads that resonate with their needs.
So, in summary, this lesson teaches you how to choose keywords that align with your audience's search behavior, helping you create ads that connect with potential customers searching for your products or services. By focusing on relevant and targeted keywords, you'll enhance the effectiveness of your Google ads and improve your overall campaign results.

30Case Study: Phil Creates His First Google Search Ad | Google Ads CourseVideo lesson
Welcome to this case study, where I'm going to reveal the details of my search ads and explain the thought process behind them.
Here is the finalized ad that I've crafted and plan to test. While there might be some adjustments in the upcoming weeks, I wanted to share my ad's current version and provide insights into why I designed it this way.
I won't walk you through the entire creation process, as Diego's tutorials have already covered that aspect. Instead, I'll give you an overview of my final ad and its components.
The ad's final URL leads to the free week landing page that I previously introduced in the customer flow case study. For the headlines, I've aimed to incorporate keyword-friendly phrases. I've created headlines like "Free Online Photography Course," "Free Photography Masterclass Video School Membership," and similar variations. However, after discussing with Diego, I plan to remove keywords related to the brand "Video School" to align better with user search intent.
For the description, I've provided a few options. Google will rotate these descriptions to determine which combinations yield the best results. The descriptions highlight the value proposition of the courses, including details such as the variety of topics covered, the availability of both freemium and premium courses, and the absence of a credit card requirement.
I've also shared another ad example tailored specifically to video editors and, more specifically, Adobe Premiere Pro users. The headlines and descriptions follow a similar pattern as the photography ad, with slight variations to cater to this audience.
To demonstrate the keywords I'm targeting, I've shown the keyword groups for photographers and video editors. These keywords help narrow down my audience and increase the likelihood of showing the ad to the right people. I've carefully selected keywords that align with user intent, such as "photography course," "Adobe Premiere Pro Training Course Tutorial," and more.
In the upcoming videos, I'll guide you through the process of implementing these ads and show you how to monitor their performance. I'll share insights on what's working and what's not and provide a detailed view of the entire process.

I encourage you to practice these steps if you're not yet comfortable. This hands-on experience will greatly benefit your understanding of the course material. I look forward to seeing your progress in the next video.

39How to Design a YouTube Video Ad that Captures Attention | Google Ads CourseVideo lesson
Dive into the nitty-gritty of crafting an optimized YouTube ad in this insightful lesson. Learn the intricacies of what makes a YouTube ad stand out and capture the viewer's attention effectively.
To begin, familiarize yourself with the different types of YouTube ads: pre-skip, pre-non-skip, mid-roll, and post-roll. These ads come in varying lengths, with pre-non-skip ads lasting 15 to 20 seconds, and mid/post-roll ads having more flexibility.
The pivotal goal of any YouTube ad is to engage viewers within the first five seconds. This critical timeframe determines whether viewers skip or continue watching. Achieving this can involve presenting your offer or captivating attention with an unexpected twist.
The instructor shares valuable insights and showcases examples that shed light on successful YouTube ads. They emphasize authenticity and the ability to connect with the audience over polished production. The ads from Lume Cube and Mud Water exemplify these principles well.
Lume Cube's ad, featuring a presenter in a casual setup, resonates with the target audience (creatives) by embracing a relatable and authentic style. The Mud Water ad, driven by a thought-provoking opening, keeps viewers curious and engaged. The instructor points out how both ads resonate differently but effectively with their target demographics.
A more polished ad example, promoting TruGreen's lawn care services, showcases a professional spokesperson. This ad employs a traditional, TV-commercial style with high production values. It maintains engagement by addressing the viewer directly and posing an intriguing question upfront.
Key takeaways from these examples include the importance of:
1. Captivating the audience within the initial five seconds.
2. Engaging viewers with relatable and authentic setups.
3. Incorporating closed captions for broader reach.
4. Addressing viewers directly and involving them through questions.

57Important information about Google Ads Extensions | Google Ads CourseVideo lesson
**Strategically Applying Ad Extensions: A Tactical Guide**
Greetings, eager learners! Before we embark on our ad extension implementation journey, I'll drop a pearl of wisdom that will illuminate your path to mastery. We're about to explore an essential decision-making aspect when it comes to deploying these powerful extensions on your Google Ads account. Consider this your compass in the expansive realm of ad extensions.
Imagine yourself immersed in the structure of a Google ad campaign, poised to enhance your ads' impact with strategic extensions. Your campaign, ad groups, and ads comprise the three tiers of this structure, each with its unique role to play.
To navigate the application of extensions effectively, we'll elucidate three distinct levels where you can implement them: the account level, campaign level, and ad group level.
**Account Level**: Picture the canvas upon which your campaigns are painted. Applying an extension at the account level means it cascades down like a waterfall, gracing every campaign, ad group, and ad beneath it with the same extension. This approach suits scenarios where all your campaigns serve a unified purpose, such as a legal practice where each case requires a phone call for consultation.
**Campaign Level**: Imagine you're crafting a masterpiece within a single frame. By attaching an extension at the campaign level, you impart a unique touch to all the ad groups and ads within that specific campaign. This tactic works brilliantly when you have campaigns serving different goals – think a bakery offering online sales and local walk-ins. Tailoring extensions for each campaign ensures relevance without overwhelming your overall account structure.
**Ad Group Level**: Now, zoom in to capture the minutiae of individual brushstrokes. Applying an extension at the ad group level impacts only the ads within that group. This meticulous approach lets you fine-tune your extensions to resonate with specific target audiences. For instance, within a campaign promoting different flavors of ice cream, you can use ad group-level extensions to highlight flavors that appeal to various segments.
The decisions you make about where to apply extensions depend on the nature of your business, the diversity of your offerings, and your strategic goals. Each level offers a unique balance of uniformity and customization, allowing you to wield extensions with precision.
Picture this in action with an example account structure for Diego's Bakery. There are multiple campaigns, each catering to distinct products and goals. Applying extensions at the account level wouldn't align with the varying nature of these campaigns. However, by applying extensions at the campaign or ad group levels, you tailor the extensions to specific audiences and objectives.
This insightful strategy ensures that your extensions resonate harmoniously with your target audience while maintaining the overall coherence of your ad campaigns. As we delve into creating and optimizing extensions in the upcoming videos, you'll witness the magic of this strategy come alive.
Stay primed for the next installment, where we'll roll up our sleeves and begin crafting extensions that elevate your ad campaigns to unprecedented heights. Until then, let these insights simmer and anticipate the transformation that lies ahead.

**4. Site Link Extension:** This versatile extension allows you to add extra links beneath your ad. These links can direct users to specific pages on your website, effectively guiding them towards relevant content. They act as signposts within your ad that lead users to more tailored destinations.
**5. Call Extension:** Ideal for businesses that want to encourage immediate interaction, the Call Extension boldly presents your phone number, allowing users to call you directly from the ad. It's perfect for cases where personal contact is crucial, like legal services or local eateries.
**6. App Extension:** If your marketing goals revolve around getting users to download your app, this extension is your magic wand. It directs users straight to your app's download page, simplifying the process and boosting app acquisition.

73Installing Google Ads Tag code on your website for conversionsVideo lesson
Learn to enhance your website's performance in this insightful video lesson on conversion creation and installation. We're delving into the process of installing tags on your website to track and measure conversions effectively. In our previous video, we established conversion actions for Google Ads, outlining what actions signify a conversion.
Now, it's time to implement these actions on your website through the installation of tags. Why is this crucial? Tags enable Google to identify and monitor user interactions, specifically conversions, by gaining access to your website's data. This data is essential for optimizing your ad campaigns and understanding user behavior.
Three installation options are at your disposal. Firstly, installing the tag manually - a recommended approach if you're comfortable with coding. Secondly, if you prefer a hands-off approach, emailing the tag to your developers is a convenient alternative. Lastly, utilizing Google Tag Manager streamlines the process even further.
For those using WordPress, we've got you covered. We'll guide you through the installation process using a plugin, simplifying tag integration across your website. This plugin, "Head & Footer Codes Injection," empowers you to easily add codes without delving into individual page editing.
To clarify, we'll be inserting the Google Global Site Tag into the header section of every page on your site. This grants Google the ability to track and analyze conversions across the entirety of your website, without affecting its structure or content.
However, for the event snippet, it's imperative to install it solely on pages that mark definitive conversion points. This snippet helps Google recognize these pivotal moments, whether it's lead generation forms or post-purchase thank you pages. Remember, your snippet placement directly influences accurate conversion tracking.
If you've forgotten to insert the event snippet during page creation, fret not. Reach out to your email marketing provider or a developer to seamlessly integrate it into your conversion pages. Your diligence will be rewarded as Google starts counting every conversion, refining your marketing strategy and insights.
In this video, we've covered the fundamental steps of installing tags to measure conversions accurately. Now, armed with this knowledge, you're ready to optimize your website for enhanced performance and informed decision-making in your marketing efforts.
Enhance your website's performance with conversion tracking and optimization. Optimize your marketing strategy by precisely measuring user interactions and conversions through the installation of crucial tags. This video tutorial demonstrates how to seamlessly insert tags into your website, granting Google the insight it needs to refine your ad campaigns and understand user behavior.
Choose from three installation options, whether it's manual integration, developer assistance via email, or the streamlined approach of Google Tag Manager. Specifically designed for WordPress users, we guide you through plugin installation to effortlessly insert codes on every page.
Your website's header is the canvas for the Google Global Site Tag, granting Google access to conversion data without impacting your website's structure. The event snippet, however, is reserved for specific conversion pages, ensuring accurate tracking at pivotal moments like form submissions or thank you pages.
Even if you missed installing the event snippet initially, it's not too late. Consult your email marketing provider or a developer for smooth integration on conversion pages. By consistently tracking conversions, you'll gain invaluable insights, refining your marketing strategy and optimizing performance. Take control of your website's success today!

Discover the power of phone call conversions and how they can enhance your business in this informative video lesson. We'll dive into creating a distinct type of conversion, the phone call conversion, which can offer invaluable insights into the performance of your ads and customer interactions.
Imagine you search for a service on Google, like "dog training," and notice ads with call extensions. These allow users to directly call the business from the ad. We'll show you how to track these calls and optimize your ad campaigns.

Specify whether each call represents a purchase or a one-time event. This depends on your business model.
Set the minimum duration for a call to be counted as a conversion. This helps filter out short, non-conversion related calls.
Choose the click-through conversion window. For example, if someone clicks on your ad and calls your business within 30 days, it's counted as a conversion.
Select the distribution model that fits your business. For calls, "Last click" is a common choice.
Your phone call conversion is now ready to track. Although no recent conversions might appear initially, you'll see valuable information about it in the table.
By implementing phone call conversions, you gain insights into the effectiveness of your call extensions. It allows you to measure the direct impact of these extensions on your business, helping you optimize your ads and improve your overall marketing strategy.

76Case Study: Phil Starts Tracking Conversions for his Google AdsVideo lesson
In this insightful case study, I'll be sharing how I've effectively utilized conversion tracking to enhance my ad campaigns. This approach has allowed me to analyze user behavior and determine which ads yield the best results, thus guiding my future advertising endeavors.
Now, let's delve into the practical steps behind the scenes.
To access your conversions in Google Ads, navigate to the "Tools & Settings" section and select "Measurement." Within this menu, you'll find your existing conversions or the option to add new ones.
In my case, I set up a conversion to monitor those who sign up for a free trial from my ads. This data aids in distinguishing the top-performing ads for focused attention and improvement.
When configuring the conversion, I decided not to assign a specific value initially since free trial sign-ups don't have immediate monetary value. As I accumulate data, I may assign a value based on conversion rates.
The conversion window was set to 30 days for click-through conversions, allowing for delayed conversions to be considered.
Next, I'll share how I implemented the conversion pixel on my website using Teachable. Remember, these steps may vary depending on your platform.
Teachable offers a custom code section where I integrated the Google Ads code on the thank-you page. This page is reached after a user signs up for the free trial, making it an ideal location for tracking conversions.
Since implementing this process, I've monitored five conversions in a short timeframe. However, not all ads are converting. The search ad, although the most expensive, has yielded conversions, while the video ad hasn't converted as effectively.
Consequently, I've decided to focus on improving the conversion rate of the video ad, given its high click-through rate but lack of conversions. This involves optimizing the ad and enhancing its effectiveness.
As I work on enhancing the video ad, I'll keep you updated on my progress and findings. Feel free to join me in this journey as we learn and improve together.
Stay tuned for more updates in the next video. Your support and insights are always appreciated.
