Objective:
To create and adjust ad schedules based on performance data in Google Ads to optimize campaign performance.
Key Steps:
- Log in to Google Ads and navigate to “Insights and Reports” > “When and Where Ads Showed”.
- Set the date range to 10 weeks and select the campaign to analyze.
- Review the days when ads have been showing and identify low-performing days based on conversion rates and cost per conversion.
- Analyze the hourly performance of the ads to identify time slots with poor performance.
- Consider peak search hours and competition levels to make informed decisions about excluding specific hours.
- Adjust the ad schedule by blocking off hours or time slots with low performance.
- Monitor the campaign performance for 2-4 weeks after making adjustments to assess the impact.
- Double-check data and make further adjustments as needed to optimize the ad schedule.
Cautionary Notes:
- Ensure that there is enough data (at least 20 conversions) to make informed decisions about adjusting the ad schedule.
- Avoid making drastic changes to the ad schedule without monitoring the impact on campaign performance.
- Double-check data and assumptions to avoid blocking off potentially high-performing hours or days.
Tips for Efficiency:
- Start by analyzing days with low conversion rates and high cost per conversions before moving on to hourly performance.
- Consider excluding hours where people are less likely to search for your services, such as late at night.
- Use data from the past 10 weeks for more accurate insights, but consider going back further if necessary.
- Regularly monitor and adjust the ad schedule to ensure optimal campaign performance.
- Watch additional tutorials or seek assistance for creating multiple segments within the ad schedule for more detailed adjustments.
