[PPC Habit] Quick and easy way to come up with new ideas

Yesterday, we talked about habits and how they improve your PPC Productivity.

Today, I am sharing one of my favorites as a first. It will help you come up with new ideas to improve your campaigns in no time. 

I call it SERP-watching.

Next time you open a new Chrome tab and load the Google Ads interface, try this:

  1. Navigate to the search term report (account level)
  2. Sort the list by any one of these columns: conversions/conversion ratio/conversion value
  3. Copy the top search term
  4. Open a new tab with a Google search box
  5. Paste the search term in the search box
  6. Watch the SERP

What does Google tell you?

How can you translate what you see into improving your account?

Look beyond the obvious:

  • Next to looking at your ad copy, study the competing ads.
  • Next to looking at your lander, study the landers of your competitors.
  • Next to looking at the paid search results, study organic listings.
  • Next to looking at search results, study other blocks on the page.

What else do you see?
