What's inside the guide

#1

Not using negative keywords

The #1 source of wasted spend. If you're not actively blocking irrelevant searches, you're paying for clicks that will never convert.

#2

Sending all traffic to your homepage

Your homepage tries to do everything. That means it does nothing well for any specific search. Dedicated landing pages convert 2-3x better.

#3

No conversion tracking

If you can't tell which ads make money and which don't, you're optimising blind. This is more common than you'd think.

#4

Ignoring Quality Score

Low Quality Scores mean you pay MORE per click AND get worse positions. It's a double penalty most advertisers don't even check.

#5

Set it and forget it

Google Ads is not a slow cooker. Search trends change, competitors adjust bids, and performance drifts. Weekly reviews are essential.

#6

Wrong match types

Broad match keywords can trigger your ads for searches that have nothing to do with your business. The guide shows you exactly how to fix this.

#7

Stale ad copy

Running the same ads for 6+ months? Your click-through rates have dropped, which tanks your Quality Score, which raises your costs.
