Online Marketing Strategy

Technically the new feature was released in 2021, but only to a small number of users. But now Google is slowly ramping up a tool they label "Organise keywords into ad groups." This was first brought to our attention on Twitter by Tauqueer Aziz, and confirmed by a Google spokesperson today. What Google says. Google confirmed the new feature in a statement today: You could always manually choose to add keywords to ad groups (manually picking which ones to add where). This feature adds the ability to use an automated machine learning system where we suggest which ad groups are the best ones for the keywords, instead of you manually doing the placement.  This should hopefully save advertisers time and effort if they have thousands of keywords/ad groups to sift through. The ability to manually add keywords still exists. Why we care. This new feature aims to save advertisers time by automatically allocating keywords into relevant ad groups...

SEO often exists on an island of its own.  Still.  In 2022. Getting buy-in for an SEO investment is already difficult enough. But we also face the challenge that many companies still question where it fits in with their overall marketing budget. You'd think we'd have this figured out by now. Are there technical aspects to SEO? Absolutely. But is technical all SEO is? Absolutely not. Not even close. SEO isn't advertising. Most companies have PPC budgets in their overall marketing budget. One client I've worked with for several years gets about 60% of their traffic from organic search, yet they spend approximately 7x-10x more on paid search efforts which is driving 20% of their traffic. I don't think this is an unusual case. I think this is more likely the norm.  Website "stuff" is still typically an IT expense, not marketing. But, creating content for the website might fit into the IT, PR or...

Search isn't just about matching keywords – and that's even more true when we talk about semantic search. Semantic search is about finding the right information for the searcher at the right time. That goes beyond finding the right keywords and concepts and speculating how searchers will interact with the results. Artificial intelligence (AI) re-ranking will take information about the people who come to search and tailor search results to the individual. That might be done on a cohort level, changing results based on trends, seasonality, and popularity. It might also be done individually, changing results based on the current searcher's desires. While AI re-ranking is not easy to implement in a search engine, it brings outsized value for conversions and searcher satisfaction. Re-Ranking With Artificial Intelligence AI-driven re-ranking can improve search results, no matter the underlying ranking algorithm a search engine uses. That's because good search ...

An established website has many options to expand keyword lists and identify organic search opportunities. But what if a site is new? How can it identify keywords without data? Certainly the owner would understand the niche and the obvious search queries for a related product or problem. Then what? Here are three ways to narrow a keyword list without internal data.

Consider using more than one of those tools, as each has unique methods for measuring "difficulty." Research keywords of anothe...

The Google Ads API has been updated to support Performance Max campaigns, Keyword Planner and recommendations, the company announced Friday. Within the announcement, Google also reiterated that the AdWords API will no longer be available beginning in April 2022, at which point it will be replaced by the Google Ads API.

Additionally, the deprecation of the AdWords API was first announced in April 2021. Marketers should ensure that th...
