Frequently Asked Questions
Google Ads – previously known as Google AdWords – helps advertisers to reach people when they search on Google and/or are actively engaged with a product or service.
The simplest form of Ads appear at the top of Google’s search results. For example, if you were to search for “Google Ads Management Sydney”, you would likely see ads in the top 4 positions with a small ‘Ad’ logo next to the listing. The advertisers have written these ads to appear for searchers when that specific phrase or ‘keyword’ was typed. The advertiser only pays when the searcher clicks on the Ad – which is why this form of advertising is commonly known as ‘Pay Per Click’ or PPC Advertising.
The order or ‘rank’ in which these ads appear is determined by several factors, which are being calculated during every single search – called the ‘ad auction’. These can be narrowed down to:
- The price you are willing to pay per click
- How relevant your ad and website are to the searched keyword
Other factors such as page load speed, and how often your ad has been clicked on previously, also affect the calculation.
There are many variations of how these ads appear – some may be several lines long or include phone numbers, a street address, prices, specials, and even images of the specific products. These are several of the Ad Extensions and Ad Types that advertisers can use to grab the attention of searchers.
When an agency like Bonfire manages your Google Ads campaign, there are two separate costs to consider:
Media Costs
Media costs cover your click budget with Google. As the advertiser, you control the amount you wish to spend on Google. There are tools that allow an advertiser to calculate the average Cost Per Click (CPC) for the keywords they wish to target, as well as how much search volume exists for these keywords in the targeted locations in a given month.
From this information an advertiser can determine how much media spend would be required to reach all, or part of, their target audience. For example, if the keyword phrase “Google Ads Management Sydney” costs an average of $10.00 per click, and there are 100 searches per month in Sydney, then the advertiser could spend up to $1,000 per month to reach these searchers. The figures provided are averages and require additional testing and revision to ensure the desired reach is achieved.
Management Costs
The costs associated with a Google Ads agency or partner managing an advertisers Google Ads activity can vary greatly. The size of the agency – whether a one-man-band or international agency – can alter the overheads and costs associated with management. But, this may not be reflective of the quality and communications required for effective account management.
The true success of a Google Ads account is the Return on Investment generated, which is often easily calculated given that media spend is tied to tangible Clicks and Conversions.
There are several ways that Sydney digital agencies charge account management investment for Google Ads management, the most common being:
- Tiered Structure
- Proportion of Media Spend
As our goal is to generate Return on Investment for our clients, and not simply arbitrary Clicks and website traffic, Bonfire operate on a tiered structure. This allows for a variety of solutions and options without locking advertisers in to excessive media spend.
Ultimately, Google have provided a product that allows business operators to run their own Google Ads accounts. It may not be easy or expedient to run your own advertising account, but it is possible. This means that many companies who offer Google Ads management are not the most qualified to manage an advertiser’s marketing investment.
An analogy would be if accountants did not require mandatory accreditation to operate, but they could obtain qualifications optionally. Would you trust your money with someone who doesn’t have the relevant qualifications?
Google Premier Partners must uphold certifications and qualifications that are refreshed annually. There is constant support and vetting of accounts by Google to ensure best practice is being maintained.
In addition, Premier Partners gain access to Australian support from Google, along with frequent training and early-access to beta features that give advertisers an advantage over their competitors.
There are several steps that Google takes to prevent fraudulent ad clicks, including altering search results for users based on their previous history and behaviour. There are simple ways around this, however, and a malicious agent can easily circumvent these barriers to cost advertisers considerable amounts in fraudulent clicks.
Bonfire employ a third-party software in addition to Google’s default monitoring tools, which enables us to personalise protection for each of our clients’ accounts. We can prevent users from seeing ads depending on their behaviour and location, and we have proven savings of hundreds of thousands in wasted clicks each year.
