Writer's Tips: Online Ads

 


ONLINE ADS


Google Adwords offers great tips on writing ads online. 

So how do you create a strong ad?


1. Be relevant:

Make sure that your ad text is closely related to the product and services you offer.

2. Highlight what sets you apart:

In other words, why should someone contact or buy from you, and not someone else? 

3.Include a call to action:

  • After someone clicks on your ad, what do you want them
  • to do next? Do you want them to buy something, sign-up to your newsletter, contact you, or take another action?


CHOOSING THE RIGHT KEYWORDS FOR YOUR ONLINE ADS

  • Use keywords that are 2-3 words long
  • Keywords that consist of two or more words tend to be more specific and therefore may speak better to what a potential customer is searching for.  
  • Use negative keywords
  • Negative keywords keep your ads from appearing for searches that aren’t likely to drive business your way (e.g. queries including the word ‘free’).
  • Use the Keyword Tool
  • The Keyword Tool helps you discover new keywords and potential negative keywords.
