it for her. Since this is her first campaign, she chooses an automated bidding strategy to

she's set.

Campaign: - Answers -Campaigns are created around a marketing goal and set up
based on the actions you'd like customers to take.
The marketing goal should be the main thing you want to achieve for your business and
can be changed at any time. Search campaign marketing goals can be set to Sales,
Leads, or Website Traffic. (Display, Video, and App campaigns have additional goals to
choose from.)
For example, if Hiroko wants to increase store email list signups, she can create a
Leads goal campaign.
Network - Answers -The Networks setting indicates where you want your ad to appear,
based on the campaign type you select.
For example, with the Google Search Network, your ad can appear on Google Search
sites, in addition to search results on Google Play, Google Shopping, and Google Maps
(including the Maps app). Your ad can also appear on non-Google search sites (like
CNN) that partner with Google to show search ads; these are called search partners.
You also have the opportunity to expand to the Google Display ads network, where your
text ad can show on sites that partner with Google to show ads.
Locations & Languages - Answers -Your campaign's ads are eligible to show to
customers located in, or who show interest in, a geographic location.
For example, a Parisian bakery owner can reach people located in Paris only, while an
online shoe retailer that ships to Canada and the US can connect with people in both
countries.
, Language targeting allows you to restrict where your ads may appear, based on the
user's language settings and the language of the site.
Devices - Answers -Campaigns target all types of devices, which include desktop,
tablet, and mobile. You can also choose to customize ads for different devices.
Bidding & Budget - Answers -Your bid strategy controls the manner in which you pay for
users to interact with your ads. Once you choose the metric you'd like to focus on for
your campaign, you'll see different bidding options to help you optimize for it. You can
choose to manually set your bids for clicks on your ads, or let Google Ads do it for you.
Your budget is the average amount you're comfortable spending each day on your
campaign. The budget you choose is entirely up to you, and you can adjust it at any
time.
Knowledge Check - Answers -1. The web traffic marketing goal will help you get more
customers to learn about your new products.
2. The leads marketing goal will help you generate leads by gathering contact details
through a signup page.
3. The sales marketing goal will help you encourage customers to complete a purchase.
How to get ads in front of the right customers? - Answers -1. She starts by creating ad
groups.
For each ad group, she can create specific text ads and a list of search keywords — the
words and phrases that will prompt her ads to show up. Since it's best to create ad
groups around themes or products, Hiroko's plan is to create multiple ads groups, one
for each of her bike types: kid's bikes, mountain bikes, and road bikes.
This level of granularity gives her more control to get the right ad message to the right
customers.
2.For each ad group, she creates a unique list of keywords.
She thinks about the search terms people may use when researching or looking for
bikes, and uses those as her keywords. Building a solid keyword list can help her match
her ads with the right customers!
Take a look at some of the keywords she selected for her Kid's Bike ad group:
kid bikes
children's bike
girl bikes
boy bikes
first bike
