How Can I Help |
Google AdWords Checklist
- Brainstorm and develop a comprehensive list of words and phrases that relate to your practice and specialties. Don’t forget to include common misspells (Threapy, Depresion, Sam Francisco).
-
Break those keywords down into sub categories in order to focus your ads (ex, Depression, Anxiety, Couples, etc.)
-
Create another list of location, credential and industry-based keywords (ex, San Francisco, MFT, Mental Health Services, etc.)
-
Combine the lists.
-
Eliminate broad keywords that don’t specify the searcher is seeking psychotherapy help (ex, grief, help, therapy, anxiety).
- Use Google’s keyword tool to help you refine your list.
Step 2: Ad Creation in 70 Characters
- Google allows 25 characters in an ad’s title and 35 in each of its two lines of text, including spaces and punctuation.
-
Create multiple ads for each specialty you developed keywords for. This way, you can see which one performs the best.
-
Every ad should include a call to action, like a free consultation.
-
Begin every word of the ad with a capital letter.
-
Used sparingly, exclamation points are a good thing in ads!
Step 3: Set Up Your Campaign
-
Importing keywords and setting up ad groups is intuitive and well documented in the Web interface.
-
You can set the maximum price you are willing to pay per click for individual keywords or set a default rate for all ads.
-
Each ad should lead to a different page that describes that specific service or issue.
- Make sure to have a variety of Broad, Exact and Phrase matches.
- Location extensions add a physical address and phone number to your ad so potential clients can more easily reach you.
- Turn off the Google Display Network option so your ads don’t appear on other people’s sites or gmail.
Step 4: Tweaking Your Site for AdWords
- Add a contact form and conversion tracking tags to every page that Google Ads links to.
- Create a special phone number just for Google Ads so you can monitor the results.
