Google Ads: Know What You're Paying For

A Practical 90-Minute Workshop for Established Trade Businesses

Presented at the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce

You’re spending on Google Ads - But do you know what you’re paying for?

You might receive a monthly report.

You might see clicks, impressions, conversions and costs.

You might have an agency or freelancer managing everything for you.

But when you open your Google Ads account, can you actually tell:

What is running?

Where are your ads showing?

What are people searching for?

What are you really paying for?

And what should you be looking at?

If the answer is “not really”, this workshop is for you.

You Don't Need To Become A Google Ads Expert

You just need to understand what is happening with your money.

Google Ads accounts contain a huge amount of information.

The problem is that most business owners never get shown how to interpret it.

You don’t need to learn how to build campaigns.

You don’t need to learn how to adjust bids.

You don’t need to become a Google Ads manager.

You need to know what you are looking at.

This workshop will show you how to find and understand the information already available inside your own Google Ads account.

In this Workshop - What Could You Discover?

What Is Actually Running?

You may have multiple campaigns running in your account.

But do you know what each one is designed to do?

We’ll look at the different campaign types you may have and explain what they are doing in your account.

 

What Are The Numbers Actually Telling You?

Google Ads gives you numbers everywhere.

We will look at which numbers should you pay attention to, and what do they actually mean for your business.

We’ll break down the key performance information so you can look at your account with a much clearer understanding of what you are seeing.

 

Investigate Where Your Ads Are Showing

If you run a trade or service business, location matters. A lead from the area you actually service can be valuable.

Your Google Ads account contains geographic information about your advertising activity.

We will show you where to find it and how to understand what Google is telling you about where your advertising is being seen.

What Are Your Potential Customers Actually Searching For?

The search terms information inside Google Ads can show you what people were actually searching for when they interacted with your advertising.

 

What Can Google Tell You About Your Audience?

Google can provide information about the people interacting with your advertising.

We will look at the audience information available in your account and explain what it means.

Follow Along In Your Own Account

Bring your laptop.

Log into your own Google Ads account.

Follow along.

You will be able to see where the information lives inside your own account and understand what you are looking at.

And importantly:

You won’t be asked to share your account with the group.

You won’t need to show your results.

You won’t need to reveal your business information.

You can work privately inside your own account.

You Don't Have To Manage Your Own Google Ads

You don’t need to know how to build or optimise campaigns.

You simply need access to your Google Ads account.

Because even if someone else manages your advertising, it is still your money.

And you should be able to understand what is happening inside the account.
