Advertise on Google : Search Marketing Strategy
Advertising on Google with AdWords is an excellent way to gain brand exposure and bring qualified visitors to your website. How do you advertise on Google and how do you get placement with their sponsored links?
In the below example of a Google search engine results page [2] (SERP), you can see two paid links sections. One sits above the organic or "natural" links section and one rests to the right of the organic results.
These sponsored results are different from the organic Google search [3] results in that they're paid for. Companies can enter an auction to have their ad appear in Google sponsored links [4] if it's relevant to a user's search query by setting up an AdWords account. To advertise in Google, you need to use Google's advertising platform, Google AdWords.
How to Advertise on Google : Using AdWords
AdWords is Google's pay-per-click (PPC) advertising platform and its main source of revenue. In the AdWords paid search [5] advertising model, users bid on the keywords they want to trigger their sponsored ads, and Google decides which ads are displayed and in what position based on each user's maximum bid [6] and Quality Score [7]. Quality Score is determined by a number of factors:
- Relevance of ad copy to the keyword [8]
- Relevance of the ad to its corresponding landing page [9]
- The ad's click-through rate [10] (CTR)
- Historical account performance
- Other relevance and performance factors
A higher Quality Score equates to more impressions at lower costs, lowering your cost per click [11] and cost per action [12].

How to Advertise on Google : Use Keyword Grouping
The single most important, and yet often overlooked, thing you can do to ensure successful advertising on Google is keyword grouping [17]. Grouping your keywords makes your keyword research [18] far more valuable and allows you take action with your data. The key is to segment your keywords into small, manageable groups and subgroups by relevance, forming a logical hierarchy.
How does this help you successfully advertise on Google? Converting your close-knit keyword groups into AdWords ad groups [19] primes them for pay-per-click success. Effective keyword grouping improves Quality Score (and sponsored link placement) in these ways:
- More relevant ads: Ad groups with tight semantic relevance make it easy and natural to write relevant and eye-catching ads. For example, it's much easier to speak directly to users searching for "cheap dog houses" than general "dog supplies."
- More relevant landing pages: Similarly, you'll be able to create specific and compelling landing pages based off of these tight keyword groups, giving searchers a destination to land on and an opportunity to convert.
- Compounding PPC benefits: More relevant ads and landing pages will raise your CTR [10], improving Quality Score, and leading to more traffic and more conversions with a lower CPC [20].
