Setting bids in Google Ads is a time-consuming task that is often fraught with guesswork.

In the ebook, we’ll go over why you should use Google Smart Bidding.

What About Using PPC on Bing, LinkedIn and Twitter?

But there are other fish in the PPC network sea that you might want to consider using. Check out the ebook to see the value you can get from advertising with LinkedIn, Facebook, Bing, and other non-Google networks.

Building Lookalike Audiences

You know what your customers looks like, so why not find more people just like them? Building lookalike audiences can help you reach customers similar to your most high-value clients that have never connected with your brand before. This allows you to expand your reach using an established source audience such as people who have viewed one of your videos or called your business. In the ebook, we go over how to create lookalike audiences on Facebook, YouTube, and Google Ads and how you can use call analytics data to do it.

Tracking Calls Made From Ads and Landing Pages

Want to get more calls that drive lots of sales? The best way to do that is to analyze the calls you are already getting. Since you can’t do that manually at any scale, you hate to use the right tools. Making powerful optimizations that drive results all comes down to data. By using Google Ads with a call tracking & analytics solution like Invoca, you can track all calls that result from your paid search efforts, including calls made directly from an ad or landing page. In the ebook, we’ll show you how that works.
