Structure Your Google Ads Campaigns For Success

An essential part of any digital marketer's toolbox is PPC marketing. To drive the best results it's important to organize your campaigns carefully. This guide will walk you through, step by step, the best way to structure your ad groups by focussing on your top-performing keywords. 

You can use several best practices when structuring your PPC campaign with Google Ads campaign. One of the key strategies is to group your keyword lists – also known as ad groups – by theme. 

Then, to take your campaign to the next level, you should isolate your top-performing keywords based on their performance. Although this is quite a simple technique, it can drive significant performance improvements. However, to get the most benefit from this tactic, you must ensure your campaigns are well organized in the first place. 

This guide is adapted from Cathal's full webinar how to structure your PPC campaigns.

It's broken into two parts to show you how to: 

  1. Build a solid campaign base.
  2. Isolate keywords using data and then organize them into high-performing ad groups and campaigns.
