3 Ways you can structure your Google Ads Account
- Campaign Structure by Site Navigation
- Campaign Structure by Product or Service
- Campaign Structure by Landing Pages
Campaigns Structure by Site Navigation
One way to make Google ads campaigns management easy and adaptive to google algorithm updates is to create your campaigns by site navigation structure.
Both Google and the SEM manager can benefit. SEM managers can follow the navigation structure and create campaigns accordingly. Especially when there is a new product added to navigation or a new landing page created.
Google already has an idea about the site navigation by going through the sitemap.xml file. It’s a win-win situation.
Campaign Structure by Product/Service:
SEM managers can also create campaigns based on their organization/company products or services.
If you are a SaaS or an eCommerce this strategy has its benefits and drawbacks.
The benefit is that you can create a campaign based on products or services. In most cases – your business might have multiple products or services and some of those might not be profitable in terms of return on investment (ROI) while some might have huge.
This strategy is common across small and medium businesses as they have few products or services to focus on.
Campaign Structure by Landing Page
This is my favorite. I like to create campaigns for individual landing pages and then categorize campaigns by product or service.
I can have one campaign with multiple ad groups & landing pages focusing on specific keywords targeting relevant landing pages.
Having a campaign structure and by landing page also helps conduct A/B testing with ease. You can have both campaigns live at the same time and test them. Not worrying about other aspects such as keywords or ad copies.
Conclusion
All 3 ways are applicable. It totally depends on the business, budget, and campaign objective. I personally – use the Campaign structure by landing page simply because I want to have the campaigns as granular as possible for easy management and control. Every landing page has a specific keyword in mind and I make sure to use relevant keywords bringing in higher quality scores and lower CPC.
