Create a campaign
Click on the plus sign (+) to create a new campaign. Here, you have the option to select the campaign goal. Google offers various options such as "Sales," "Leads," and "Website Traffic."
Choose campaign objective
If, for example, you want to generate more traffic to your website, choose the "Website Traffic" option. Then click on "Continue" to proceed to the next step.
Select ad type
In the next step, you can set the type of ad. Choose "Search Ad" to create an ad that will be displayed in Google search results. This means your ad will be visible for relevant search queries.
Enter website URL
Now enter the URL of your business website that you want to promote. This is where users will be directed when they click on your ad. For example: bestedropshippingstore.com.
Assign campaign name
Give a meaningful name to your campaign, for example, "Cushion Campaign." Then click on "Continue" to proceed.
Define goal commitment
Next, determine what your actual goal is. In this case, you could choose "Conversions" as you aim for sales. It is essential to also define the value of a conversion. Think about how much profit you make with each sale.
Ad optimization
You have the option to optimize the ad either for clicks or impressions. If your goal is to build trust and brand visibility, you can prioritize impressions. Clicks are often more relevant for a sales goal.
Set cost per acquisition
Here you can specify the maximum amount you are willing to spend to generate a sale. Consider your product costs and set an amount accordingly. This allows targeted budgeting for your advertising expenses.
Set ad placement
Now choose where you want your ads to be displayed. The "Search Network" is ideal if you only want to be visible on Google for relevant search queries. You may also want to activate the "Display Network" to show your ads on other websites and platforms.
Select Languages and Locations
In the next step, you can specifically select the languages and geographic locations where your ads should be displayed. These options help you reach your target audience more precisely.
