For as long as I have been managing PPC campaigns, there has always been a common issue across ALL account: the structure. If you don’t have the right PPC account structure, you set yourself up for failure. Of course, few people make the difference between a good account structure and a poor one. If you are not sure about which one is which and what it looks like to have a winning account structure, please feel free to attend this Free Webcast on Tuesday, August 19 - 1 PM EDT

PPC Tips for Success: Building a Winning Account Structure

Speaker:
Addie Conner, CourseAdvisor, Inc.

Creating a successful paid search (PPC) campaign depends on a variety of elements, from keyword research all the way to informed evaluation of the leads you’ve generated. But one of the most important “big picture” aspects of your PPC campaign is your initial account structure: organize it well, and you’ll reap the benefits of positive results. Organize it poorly, and your campaign is sunk.

Whether you’re starting from scratch, expanding an existing campaign, or have just inherited someone else’s PPC campaign, building the proper account structure at the outset is critical. In this webcast, we’ll look at PPC account structure—why it’s important, what factors you should consider before you get started, and how you can go about developing a structure that’s right for your campaign.

In this webcast you’ll learn:
* How quality score factors into your account structure
* When to use multiple accounts in your campaign
* What the search engines see - and why it’s important to know
* What to consider when evaluating automated tools

Addie Conner is Director of Search Marketing for CourseAdvisor, Inc.
