In today's 60 second hack to grow your business, we'll show you how to optimize your Google Ad campaign by Ad Schedule.
Optimizing your campaign based on Ad Schedule is quick and easy to do.
First you will want to set a big date range. In this case, I chose a 360 day period, but I recommend at least 30 days worth of data.
The quick and easy way to see this data is to click on the campaign you want to analyze in Google Ads in the far left column. Then, click “Ad Schedule” in the light gray column. From here, you can see that Thursday was the best day to run ads based on conversions. Based on this information, we might want to increase our budget during the week and lower it on weekends. This helps you optimize your account to get more conversions for the same budget because you are using your budget more efficiently.
Expanding Your Strategy: Next-Level Tips for Google Ads Schedule Optimization
Optimizing your Google Ads schedule is just the beginning. To truly harness the power of your ad spend and drive substantial growth for your business, consider these advanced strategies:
Dive Deep into Analytics
Beyond basic schedule adjustments, deep dive into your analytics to understand the nuances of your audience's behavior. Look for patterns not just in clicks, but in conversion rates and customer engagement metrics across different times of the day and week. Use this data to refine your ad schedule further, focusing your budget on peak performance periods.
Consider Time Zone Differences
If your business targets multiple geographic locations, time zone differences can significantly impact your ad performance. Customize your ad schedules to align with the local time zones of your target audience, ensuring your ads appear at optimal times in each market.
Leverage Ad Extensions
Ad extensions can significantly enhance the visibility and effectiveness of your ads. Schedule different extensions to appear at specific times, matching the intent and behavior of your audience throughout the day. For instance, use call extensions during business hours when your team is available to take calls, and switch to message or site link extensions during off-hours.
Test and Refine Continuously
The digital landscape is always evolving, and so are the habits of your audience. Regularly testing different ad schedules and strategies is key to staying ahead. Use A/B testing to compare performance and make data-driven decisions to refine your ad schedule over time.
Sync with Promotions and Events
Align your ad scheduling with your promotional calendar or industry events. Increase your ad frequency leading up to and during special promotions, sales, or relevant events to capitalize on increased interest and search traffic.
Utilize Automated Bidding Strategies
Google Ads offers automated bidding strategies that adjust your bids in real-time, based on the likelihood of a search converting. Pairing automated bidding with a strategic ad schedule can optimize your ad spend for the best possible ROI.
Incorporate Seasonal Trends
Understand the seasonal trends affecting your industry and adjust your ad schedule accordingly. During peak seasons, consider expanding your ad schedule to capture the increased search volume and interest.
By integrating these strategies into your Google Ads scheduling approach, you can not only optimize your ad spend but also significantly boost the growth and visibility of your business. The key is to remain flexible, data-driven, and customer-focused, adapting your strategies to meet the ever-changing needs and behaviors of your target audience.
