If you want to expand your school’s advertising campaigns beyond Google Ads, speak to our experts today. If you’re not sure which type of paid advertising is best for you, we can provide you with advice as to what will work best for your business and goals.
Without optimising your campaigns, your school’s ads will not be relevant to your audience and will not be visible in the search results, or if you’re running Display campaigns, regular performance reviews and optimisation of the audiences and the ad copy and images will help to improve campaign ROI.
This optimisation continues as more performance data is available, so we’re constantly checking and optimising performance.
There are a few primary types of Google Ads campaigns:
- Search Network – these campaigns are usually text ads which show on the search results page.
- Display Network – the ads for Google Display Network campaigns are usually images and appear when users visit other websites or apps.
- Video – these short video ads show at the beginning or during YouTube videos.
Google Ads can be complicated and consequently, it’s really easy to get it wrong and waste your budget.
With a compelling sales proposition and optimised landing pages, yes, Google Ads absolutely works for Schools – we’ve scaled many clients using Google Ads.
Yes, Google Ads does issue refunds. You’ll see regular credits in your account for invalid clicks (those which are the result of accidental clicks or of what Google considers click fraud) and sometimes for overspend if Google has spent more than the budget you set.
There’s no simple answer to how long Google Ads takes to work.
Creating a Google Ads account, configuring conversion tracking, creating campaigns and adding targeting and ad copy can be completed in a matter of hours or days.
However, optimising and scaling Google Ads campaign performance is more dependent on the amount of performance data available – in short, the faster you burn budget, the more quickly performance typically improves.
We expect to see steady improvements in campaign performance over an initial three-month period, with optimisation continuing indefinitely.
There is no direct link between organic rankings and having a paid Google Ads account.
However, there are several benefits to consider:
- Customers often cross between channels when discovering your brand and when they’re searching for the product or service that you sell. Being present in both organic search and in paid search can have a significant impact on overall performance
Many of the optimisation techniques used for Schools SEO equally support the Google Ads Quality Score (page speed, page relevance etc.) and as such, it is likely that such investment would benefit both Google Ads performance and SEO performance.
The rank (position) your Google Ads achieve for each keyword is dependent on an auction every time a user searches Google.
Ad rank is a factor of financial bid x quality score – therefore a higher quality score should increase ad rank and/or decrease the average cost you pay for each click.
There are multiple factors which make up the Google Ads Quality Score, such as;
- Ad relevance to the search term used on Google by your customer
- Landing page relevance to the search term – Google crawls your landing pages to check this regularly
- The customer experience on your website – fast page load times, content layout and other factors
- Your Historic Click Through Rate (CTR) for the keyword and the associated ad.
Within each Google Ads campaign, you can set a daily budget which is then averaged over a monthly period. The actual spend can fluctuate from day to day, but Google should never spend more than that monthly budget.
How much you will need to pay for each click will depend on the auction which runs every time a user searches Google. Whilst you can set a maximum cost per click (depending on your Bid Strategy), the actual cost required for each click will depend on the level of competition for each search term or keyword, in that user’s location.
Typically, an Education Campaign might spend between £300 and £1,000 or more per month, but it does depend on the size of the audience targeted and the level of competition.
Our team can complete research for you and confirm the potential budget you could spend for each campaign and a realistic return you should be aiming for.
