Why Hire A Google AdWords Certified Partner?
I was looking at the results of a clients Google AdWords campaign for this year and thought the graph below probably summed up the value of a Google AdWords certified partner better than anything else I could say:
Google AdWords Results Graph
As with most companies using Google AdWords, the top two spots in the Google AdWords listings is always the target. The theory being that more people will click the top two spots compared to the other positions.
This is true, the click through rate for the top two positions IS higher, however when you take into consideration the cost, the number of conversions and the cost of those conversions then a different strategy is often much better.
As you will see from the graph above, we finally convinced the client that top position wasn’t the best place to be, and finally (guess when!) we were able to completely revamp the entire campaign to exactly how we wanted it to be.
As a result we:
- Reduced the total monthly cost by over 66%.
- Increased the total number of conversions.
- Reduced the cost per conversion significantly.
- We have saved this client over £2000 per month since March, and yet we have INCREASED the number of clicks to their website.
We also introduced a mobile targeted campaign, an image AdWords campaign and a Google Remarketing campaign.
Just thought I would share this with you as I do enjoy being right 
PS The spike in cost at the end of the graph (31st August 2011) is the start of the Google Remarketing campaign – will let you know how this turns out, but the client has over 20,000 people to start advertising their services & offers to throughout the rest of the year!
Advertiser Ratings Showing In Google.com UK Searches
I came across a blog post yesterday from Patrick at Blogstorm talking about the advertiser ratings finally hitting these shores.
At the moment it still only appears to be working on Google.com (albeit showing UK based searches) – however when you try to same search on Google.co.uk there doesn’t appear to be anything listed.
What will be interesting to monitor is the difference on click through rate these ratings have. It will also be interesting to monitor how less than impressive feedback ratings will effect click through rates.
What is clear is that all Google AdWords advertising selling their products via the Google Shopping search really need to be encouraging more feedback from their clients as soon as possible.

What did we do?
- Google AdWords in association with TJS Web Design.
TJS were approached by Body Building UK to help promote their newly designed website. They wanted to promote their products as quickly as possible. As the Google Consultant for TJS Website Developers, Zaddle were brought in to offer their expertise in the field on Google AdWords.
We developed a very targeted campaign, taking their top 20 best selling products and creating niche AdWords triggered by between 20 – 30 keywords and phrases.
What was great about working with this client is that they already understood the need to be competitive – on price, on delivery, on delivery times and on service. Without being competitive on all of these, the client could have spent their Google AdWords budget with little or no conversions. Instead, they receive over a 300% return on investment on their monthly AdWords spend.
