Featured Videos: AdLeaks TV Episode 29
Now let’s dive into some new videos from this week.
Dynamic Search Ads
Our first video this week comes from Vincent Beima.
Vincent’s got the three keys you need to level up your Dynamic Search Ads on Google.
There’s a ton of takeaways from this five-minute video. Here’s a sample to get you started --
"Three major keys can help you get more impact with your dynamic search ad campaigns.
"First of all, you always want to make sure that you're excluding your brand keywords. The bigger agencies tend to forget that, or don't do it on purpose, so you will get the idea that dynamic search ads are actually performing better than they should. What you do not want, when your dynamic search ads pop up, is for your branded traffic to filter through the dynamic search ads.
"Why? For a few reasons. Your brand ad always has more clickable real estate, because you can put site links in there. It has more titles and description rules than your dynamic search ad. It's better to funnel that traffic straight to your brand campaigns.
"Secondly, your brand ads are the most relevant to your branded, high-intent traffic. You want to make sure that you find them the right way to get a higher click-through-rate.
"Thirdly, you will have a complete overview of your brand growth without any skewed data. That's when you make sure that you exclude your branded keywords in all of your campaigns, including non-branded and DSA campaigns."
Thanks Vincent. Great advice, great beard, just… great all around.
Converting Interested Leads
Next up, Jared Warner has a new video on converting leads that show interest during a campaign but fail to take the next step.
This video’s under five minutes, and Jared explains how to track, interact with, and close these leads. Take it away, Jared --
"With all campaigns, of course, one important thing is to track it. You have to know who these people are. That tells you what your next potential steps are.
"We call these 'hot leads, not booked'. They showed some level of interest, maybe to a cold email campaign. They said, hey, this sounds great, I'd love to chat. You reply back with Callendar Link to book a call.
"They haven't booked a call. Why? You can address this in a couple of different ways. If they are in an industry that uses their cell phones often, you can switch channels from email to SMS. You can send a quick nine-word text message, like, 'Hey [first name]. Are you still interested in our offer?'
"You can get more creative than that, though. That's what I want to show you.
"We tried a campaign where the owner is pointing to a business logo with a plus, and then it auto-fills their first name with a tag. I put a link to this -- it will have your logo, the plus sign, and their first name. That seems to work really well.
"We're going to do some more extensive testing. We tested a very small list and it produced two warm leads. But you've got to come up with ways that you can move the warm leads off the fence and onto whatever your next step is.
"In this case, we're looking calls, getting people on a call like, hey, you showed interest for some reason we haven't connected. Let's connect, get creative with it, and watch your appointments skyrocket."
Spot on, Jared, as always. Thanks.
Publishing on Facebook Audience Network
Finally, Maor Benaim is back with a video for controlling which publishers show your ads on Facebook’s Audience Network.
This is really useful for managing placements and reaching the right audience segments.
Here we go --
"You can see if there is an app or a publisher that doesn't really fit the targeting you want. If you see a kid's game app, for example, and you know that you're targeting parents, you might want to block that app.
"To do that, click on the menu and go into brand safety. You can see that they really choose the types of placements. If we're not sure what type of application or publisher it is, we can also click on it and see where it leads us.
"This is where it gets interesting because I can manipulate things and take them to the next level. There are some obvious things that we can do with this information and knowledge. We can block publishers we wouldn't want to target and create publisher lists that we want to block on all of our other accounts if we're doing something similar.
"We can also define how we want Facebook to deliver our ads."
Excellent work, thanks Maor.
