1. Be local while creating your Ads.

Yes, that literally works. Remember the saying “think globally act locally”. Give your audience the taste which they want instead of forcing your own taste. Do create regional ads and bid on the regional keywords in the auction that would be more beneficial. For example: let’s take an example what will the user search- “best Dosa Shop in Delhi” or “best dosa shop in Chandni Chowk”? Obviously, it will be the former because the keyword has personalized their search and they are more likely to click on that keyword.

2. Provide what you have promised for in your keyword.

That’s right! Give your audience what they have searched for on the landing page. Give relevant content to your audience related to the keyword because if not they will get annoyed because they haven’t got what they have searched for in short clicked on. For example, you have provided the link of “best colleges in Delhi” and the landing page is showing the results of “best colleges of Delhi University”.

3. Give attention to the Mobile customization.

Because mobile is not same as the Desktop and hence it will not be enough to make the mobile-friendly pages. And if you want to do SEM and you do not want to lose your mobile users then you have to customize your strategies and have to pay attention to the needs of the mobile users because they are usually in a hurry so provide things through your optimization which comes in handy.

4. Focus on Ad auction process rather than to have a big Budget.

It is really not important to have a big budget in order to have a successful campaign whereas all the ads and bidding do through Ad auction process where Google determines where and how the ads and the keywords will be placed. So try to “win” the ad auction rather than to focus your attention on the budget.
