How Do I Test Google Search Ads?

Test Google Search Ads

For scientific accuracy, test two ads in the same Ad Group

  • Each Ad Group contains only one keyword combination of 2 or 3 search words.

  • Don’t let Google run ads when people put other words into Google search that you don’t choose. Only use Phrase Match Keywords and Exact Match Keywords. Never enter Broad Match Keywords.

  • Write both ads with the search words in Headline 1. Write a different sales pitch for each ad in Headline 1, Headline 2 and Description 1.

  • Run both ads at least 200 times for statistical accuracy -- in Settings / additional settings at bottom, change Ad Rotation to "run ads indefinitely" so Google doesn't interrupt the test before both ads run 200 times.

  • Run the ad that gets a higher CTR Click Thru Rate, which is the percentage of times people clicked on the ad.

  • You know, with scientific certainty, which ad people liked best, because everyone saw their search words in Headline 1 for both ads and the only difference was the sales pitch they saw.
