Google Ads campaigns: Everything You Need to Know
France Web Design explains the process of creating and maintaining a successful Google Ads campaign. We answer the most common questions.
What is a Google Ads campaign?
A Google Ads campaign is an online advertising campaign managed through Google Ads. It enables businesses to create ads that appear on Google's search engine results page (SERP) and on other Google properties such as YouTube and Gmail.
The goal of a Google Ads campaign is to increase visibility, generate leads, and achieve conversions. However, it must be carefully set up and monitored: you need to select the right keywords, create compelling ads, and adjust bids and budgets to ensure the success of your campaigns.

What are the different bidding strategies for Google ads?
Manual CPC
1. Manual CPC: The manual CPC bidding strategy is best suited when you want better control over your bids and your cost per click (CPC). It is also a good option if you are new to Google Ads and do not yet have enough data to use an automated strategy. This type of bidding works well for campaigns that target specific keywords or audiences, as it allows you to set different bids for each keyword or audience segment.
Enhanced CPC
Enhanced CPC: this bidding strategy is similar to manual CPC, but it allows Google Ads to automatically adjust your bids up or down to maximize conversions.
The Enhanced CPC (eCPC) strategy should be used when you want to increase the number of conversions from your Google Ads campaigns. This strategy automatically adjusts bids to maximize conversions within your target cost per conversion (CPA). eCPC is ideal when you have a consistent conversion rate and are looking to increase conversion volume while maintaining a certain CPA.
Target CPA
Target CPA: this bidding strategy allows you to set a target cost per acquisition (CPA), and Google Ads will automatically adjust your bids to reach that goal.
The Target CPA strategy on Google Ads should be used when you want to maximize conversions while controlling your cost per acquisition. This strategy is ideal for campaigns that have a stable conversion rate and enough data to accurately set a target CPA. It is also recommended for advertisers who are comfortable with automation and looking to optimize their bids based on ad performance.
What are the different bidding strategies for Google ads?
Target ROAS
Target ROAS: this bidding strategy allows you to set a target return on ad spend (ROAS), and Google Ads will automatically adjust your bids to reach that goal.
The Target ROAS strategy on Google Ads is preferably used when you have a specific return on ad spend (ROAS) goal in mind. This strategy can be used to optimize your campaigns to achieve the desired ROAS, while maintaining some flexibility in bidding and budgeting. It is also useful if you are trying to maximize conversions within a certain budget range or cost-per-click (CPC) range.
Less commonly used: viewable CPM and target impression share
Viewable CPM: This bidding strategy allows you to bid on impressions based on their likelihood of being seen by users.
Target impression share: This bidding strategy allows you to set a target impression share, and Google Ads will automatically adjust your bids to reach that goal.

How to know if your competitors click on your ads in Google Ads campaigns
Unfortunately, there is no way to know whether your competitors are viewing your ads in Google Ads campaigns. Google does not provide any information about the people who click on your ads. However, you can monitor your competitors’ activity by using third-party tools such as SEMrush or SpyFu. These tools can provide you with information about your competitors’ advertising campaigns, including the keywords they target and the amounts they spend on their campaigns.
