How to Get More Leads with Google Ads on a Small Budget
Google Ads can be the most powerful lead generation recommendations tool for your business, if used correctly. Here is what most small businesses get wrong.
Mistake 1: Targeting Too Broadly
Instead of targeting everyone, focus on people actively searching for your exact service in your city. Narrow targeting means lower cost and better leads. To review your software stack, we suggest you check out our recommended tools.
Mistake 2: Sending Traffic to Homepage
Always send ad traffic to a dedicated landing page designed to convert visitors into leads, not your homepage.
Mistake 3: Giving Up Too Soon
Google Ads need at least 30 days of data to optimise properly. Most businesses stop before they start seeing real results.
Mistake 4: Not Tracking Conversions
If you do not know which ads are generating leads you are wasting money. Conversion tracking is absolutely essential.
