Google AdWords Digital Advertising for Internet Sales Managers
JUNE 28, 2007 For online marketers who think that the last ad impression (or click) seen is the most likely to lead to a conversion, a look at the Atlas Institute's "How Overlap Impacts Reach, Frequency and Conversions" study may be in order. The study, conducted in the first quarter of 2007, found that US consumers were more likely to convert after viewing ads on multiple Web sites, suggesting that conversions should be attributed to a full set of impressions and/or clicks, rather than just the single one that preceded the conversion. Two out of three consumers who eventually bought a product or took a responsive action were reached by ads across multiple web sites before converting. Converting consumers with multiple impressions

Internet Marketing Strategies should factor in the 4 key areas that are required in order to yield sales 1. Before prospects get to your web sites… How do we attract? 2. After prospects get to your web sites… getting an inquiry 3. After prospects submit an inquiry, before they get to store 4. After prospects arrive at the store, but before taking delivery
Types of Online Advertsing: Pay for Placement by Time (monthly fee) Pay per Click (PPC or CPC) Pay per Thousand Impressions (CPM) Pay per Conversion (Leads and/or Calls Generated) How to Get it Done: Self Managed – Do It Yourself Interactive Advertising Agencies ($$$) Search Engine Marketing Services Providers (15%+fees) Dealer Advertising Cooperative Associations Key Factor: Placement and “Cost Per Impression” advantages inherent with the use of multiple vendors and multiple dealer-managed SEM accounts What types of online advertising campaigns can you use to drive traffic to your web sites?
We chose Search Engine Marketing as one of our key tactics for generating web site traffic in August, 2005 This presentation will focus on Google based SEM
Courtesy Chevrolet decided to use Google “Sponsored Link” ads and Google’s network of web sites that accept display ads to drive car buyers to our sites… August, 2005. Courtesy Chevrolet uses Google’s “AdWords” program to reach online car buyers at the moment when they're looking for a new or used car. Using both text based sponsored links and display ads, the Google Network reaches more than 80% of online car buyers.* We create our ads, then use either key search words or select web sites to target which people see the ads. For key search words, we pay when shoppers click through to one of our sites. For display ads we bid what we are willing to pay per thousand impressions for each of the third party web sites we target…
Every dealership should have a Google AdWords account so that the capability exists in the store adwords.google.com https://adwords.google.com/select/Login
The Google AdWords team supplies a remarkable amount of coaching and guidance at no charge Even if you decide to outsource your SEM advertising budget, it is important to understand how keyword and site targeted campaigns work
When SEM service providers make claims of “Millions” of Key Words… They are full of BS! We were unable to process your request to add and/or edit your keywords. Adding these keywords would increase your account's total number of keywords beyond a manageable amount. Please add either fewer keywords or reduce the number of existing keywords in your account. Refining your keyword lists ensures your keywords are as targeted and relevant as possible. Use our Find and Edit Keywords Tool to identify poor performing keywords within your account (such as keywords with few or zero impressions) and delete them. Note: Be careful when deleting keywords in campaigns that are only opted in to the content network. Impressions and other statistics aren't attributed to individual keywords when ads show on content pages, but are attributed to the ad group as a whole. Therefore, keywords in content-only campaigns will always show zero impressions.
Search Engine Marketing became a key component of our successful strategy for increasing lead volumes
Increased sales from Online Advertising that captured leads using a combination of deep links, dedicated landing pages and specially constructed micro-sites tied to SEM campaigns… Conventional Internet Sales Strategy (no SEM) SEM Campaigns Implemented We used Search Engine Marketing to increase leads that contributed towards dramatic sales increases
Courtesy Chevy eBusiness Teams received 61,642 Leads in 2006 that were tracked within our BuzzTrak CRM System In 2006 SEM became an integral part of our strategy for increasing Lead Volume AND Showroom Traffic
4,008 eBusiness Department Sales of New & Used Vehicles in 2006 Segmented by Marketing Category (Total Store Sales >11,000) In 2006 SEM become a key component of growing our Internet and BDC Sales Volume by over 100%
Courtesy Chevrolet’s aggressive SEM campaigns have provided the Dealership with Lower Cost web site traffic In Q1 2007, SEM has become our primary means of generating steadily increasing Unique Site Visitors
Sales/Lead Closing Ratios ranged from 5.15% to 16.64% when segmented into categories based on Marketing Type Growing Internet Sales using Increased Quantities of Leads will Result in Closing Ratio Variations
33,257,657 Car Shopper Impressions Generated 29,528 Car Shopper Visits to Courtesy Chevrolet web sites, landing pages and micro sites 2,248 Electronic Leads and Phone Calls Generated 174 Vehicles Sold $71,801.30 was invested with Google AdWords & Google Display Ad Network $2.16 Cost per Thousand Car Shopper Impressions $2.43 Cost per Car Shopper that clicked-through to a Courtesy Chevrolet site $31.94 Average Cost per Lead Generated $412.65 Average Cost Per Vehicle Retailed (PVR)* CASE EXAMPLE: Courtesy Chevrolet in-house Google AdWords Campaigns From 12/1/2005 through 3/31/2006: NOTE: This does not include BZ, ClickMotive, BDC AdWords account or Jumpstart SEM campaigns *$620.55 = Courtesy Chevrolet Advertising PVR 2005 Internet Sales Managers should isolate specific SEM campaigns and calculate KPI’s to evaluate
Search Engine Marketing allows Internet Sales Professionals to use search for generating traffic
Search Engine Marketing allows Internet Sales Professionals to target web sites for ad placement
Search Engine Marketing allows PPC ads to be placed on Content Network sites based on ad text
What is Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC)? Why would PPC be of use to Internet Sales Managers? Pay for ads only when prospects click through to your destination URL Benefits: • Control • Feedback • Relevancy • Measurable Results Keyword-Based Advertising: matches a visitor’s intentions with advertisements targeted specifically to their needs.

What is “Google AdWords” Basic Terminology • Ad Position • Clickthrough Rate (CTR) • Conversion Rate • Impression • Keyword • Landing Page • Quality Score Google AdWords allows any Internet Manager with a credit card to manage SEM campaigns
Optimize Your Campaigns and Ad Groups for higher Quality Scores… “ Quality Score” is the basis for measuring the quality of your keyword and determining your minimum bid. What determines if your Pay-Per-Click bids are successful in showing your ads to car buyers? Quality Score is determined by: • CTR (Clickthrough Rate) • Relevance of ad text • Historical keyword performance • Content and layout of your landing page • Other relevancy factors
The higher your Quality Score, the lower your minimum bid and price you'll pay per click. What determines if your Pay-Per-Click bids are successful in showing your ads to car buyers? Quality Score is determined by: • CTR (Clickthrough Rate) • Relevance of ad text • Historical keyword performance • Content and layout of your landing page • Other relevancy factors
Quality Score is the basis for measuring the quality of your keyword and determining your minimum bid Steps To Increasing SEM Quality Score*: 1.

Digital Dealer Conference; Search Advertising for Internet Sales Managers and Automotive Marketing Directors

  • 1. Google AdWords Digital Advertising for Internet Sales Managers
  • 2. JUNE 28, 2007 For online marketers who think that the last ad impression (or click) seen is the most likely to lead to a conversion, a look at the Atlas Institute's "How Overlap Impacts Reach, Frequency and Conversions" study may be in order. The study, conducted in the first quarter of 2007, found that US consumers were more likely to convert after viewing ads on multiple Web sites, suggesting that conversions should be attributed to a full set of impressions and/or clicks, rather than just the single one that preceded the conversion. Two out of three consumers who eventually bought a product or took a responsive action were reached by ads across multiple web sites before converting. Converting consumers with multiple impressions
  • 3. Converting consumers with multiple impressions
  • 4. Converting consumers with multiple impressions
  • 5. Internet Marketing Strategies should factor in the 4 key areas that are required in order to yield sales 1. Before prospects get to your web sites… How do we attract? 2. After prospects get to your web sites… getting an inquiry 3. After prospects submit an inquiry, before they get to store 4. After prospects arrive at the store, but before taking delivery
  • 6. Types of Online Advertsing: Pay for Placement by Time (monthly fee) Pay per Click (PPC or CPC) Pay per Thousand Impressions (CPM) Pay per Conversion (Leads and/or Calls Generated) How to Get it Done: Self Managed – Do It Yourself Interactive Advertising Agencies ($$$) Search Engine Marketing Services Providers (15%+fees) Dealer Advertising Cooperative Associations Key Factor: Placement and “Cost Per Impression” advantages inherent with the use of multiple vendors and multiple dealer-managed SEM accounts What types of online advertising campaigns can you use to drive traffic to your web sites?
  • 7. We chose Search Engine Marketing as one of our key tactics for generating web site traffic in August, 2005 This presentation will focus on Google based SEM
  • 8. Courtesy Chevrolet decided to use Google “Sponsored Link” ads and Google’s network of web sites that accept display ads to drive car buyers to our sites… August, 2005. Courtesy Chevrolet uses Google’s “AdWords” program to reach online car buyers at the moment when they're looking for a new or used car. Using both text based sponsored links and display ads, the Google Network reaches more than 80% of online car buyers.* We create our ads, then use either key search words or select web sites to target which people see the ads. For key search words, we pay when shoppers click through to one of our sites. For display ads we bid what we are willing to pay per thousand impressions for each of the third party web sites we target…
  • 9. Every dealership should have a Google AdWords account so that the capability exists in the store adwords.google.com https://adwords.google.com/select/Login
  • 10. The Google AdWords team supplies a remarkable amount of coaching and guidance at no charge Even if you decide to outsource your SEM advertising budget, it is important to understand how keyword and site targeted campaigns work
  • 11. When SEM service providers make claims of “Millions” of Key Words… They are full of BS! We were unable to process your request to add and/or edit your keywords. Adding these keywords would increase your account's total number of keywords beyond a manageable amount. Please add either fewer keywords or reduce the number of existing keywords in your account. Refining your keyword lists ensures your keywords are as targeted and relevant as possible. Use our Find and Edit Keywords Tool to identify poor performing keywords within your account (such as keywords with few or zero impressions) and delete them. Note: Be careful when deleting keywords in campaigns that are only opted in to the content network. Impressions and other statistics aren't attributed to individual keywords when ads show on content pages, but are attributed to the ad group as a whole. Therefore, keywords in content-only campaigns will always show zero impressions.
  • 12. Search Engine Marketing became a key component of our successful strategy for increasing lead volumes
  • 13. Increased sales from Online Advertising that captured leads using a combination of deep links, dedicated landing pages and specially constructed micro-sites tied to SEM campaigns… Conventional Internet Sales Strategy (no SEM) SEM Campaigns Implemented We used Search Engine Marketing to increase leads that contributed towards dramatic sales increases
  • 14. Courtesy Chevy eBusiness Teams received 61,642 Leads in 2006 that were tracked within our BuzzTrak CRM System In 2006 SEM became an integral part of our strategy for increasing Lead Volume AND Showroom Traffic
  • 15. 4,008 eBusiness Department Sales of New & Used Vehicles in 2006 Segmented by Marketing Category (Total Store Sales >11,000) In 2006 SEM become a key component of growing our Internet and BDC Sales Volume by over 100%
  • 16. Courtesy Chevrolet’s aggressive SEM campaigns have provided the Dealership with Lower Cost web site traffic In Q1 2007, SEM has become our primary means of generating steadily increasing Unique Site Visitors
  • 17. Sales/Lead Closing Ratios ranged from 5.15% to 16.64% when segmented into categories based on Marketing Type Growing Internet Sales using Increased Quantities of Leads will Result in Closing Ratio Variations
  • 18. 33,257,657 Car Shopper Impressions Generated 29,528 Car Shopper Visits to Courtesy Chevrolet web sites, landing pages and micro sites 2,248 Electronic Leads and Phone Calls Generated 174 Vehicles Sold $71,801.30 was invested with Google AdWords & Google Display Ad Network $2.16 Cost per Thousand Car Shopper Impressions $2.43 Cost per Car Shopper that clicked-through to a Courtesy Chevrolet site $31.94 Average Cost per Lead Generated $412.65 Average Cost Per Vehicle Retailed (PVR)* CASE EXAMPLE: Courtesy Chevrolet in-house Google AdWords Campaigns From 12/1/2005 through 3/31/2006: NOTE: This does not include BZ, ClickMotive, BDC AdWords account or Jumpstart SEM campaigns *$620.55 = Courtesy Chevrolet Advertising PVR 2005 Internet Sales Managers should isolate specific SEM campaigns and calculate KPI’s to evaluate

  • 25. Optimize Your Campaigns and Ad Groups for higher Quality Scores… “ Quality Score” is the basis for measuring the quality of your keyword and determining your minimum bid.
