When I work with new clients, one of the first things I do is review their existing PPC accounts for keyword data, and if I’m really lucky I get some conversion data, too.
Too often I find an account with one campaign and one ad group with hundreds or even thousands of keywords showing one text ad. I have a couple thoughts run through my head when I see this–either this client is simply using PPC to buy traffic for their website, or they need some education because they think this is the correct way to use PPC to sell product. Think of it like an old beat up car–it runs and usually gets you around, but not very well. You need a car that runs on all cylinders and can bring home the bacon.
