Help With Display Campaigns
Hello r/PPC,
So I’m fairly new to PPC(managing google ads primarily) and need help with display campaigns. More specifically, can you guys give me some pointers on how I can audit a display campaign? Maybe point me to some sources/info on how to do that as well. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. I’ve only managed to build experience with search campaigns. Thanks in advance for your help!

* **Conversion Tracking:** Make sure you’re optimizing towards website code or GTM-sourced conversion actions rather than Analytics so you can see view-through conversions
* **Ads:** At least one Responsive Display Ad per ad group (this way the ads fit in any possible space)
* **Targeting Technique:** I would recommend only using *one* method of Keywords, Audiences, or Placements per ad group, any more and the reach becomes tiny
* **Audiences:** Keep remarketing (Customer list, Website visitors) in separate campaigns from Prospecting (Custom audience, In-Market, Affinity, etc.). Make sure the ads make sense for the audience you’ve selected, you shouldn’t be using the same ad for every audience.
* **Landing Page:** Ensure it has a fast loading speed, particularly on mobile
* **Placements:** Exclude all categories of mobile apps from potential placements
* **Bid Strategy:** I prefer low-budget Display campaigns on Maximize Conversions and high-budget Display campaigns on Target CPA pay for clicks, personally (start at 2x Search CPA then optimize down over time). Up to you if you want to include view-through conversions in optimization. -
Depends on spend and other channels you’ve got.
Retargeting is the most important tactic in campaigns and set up.
