Tweaking Adwords
-
Hi,
I want to understand how one can tweak adwords and make first line long. I am showing the example as attachment. Please check and guide. Is this ethical ?
Regards,
Preet
-
Yes its ethical...and highly effective.
you just need to use punctuation at the end of line 1 description.
look at your example...there is a period (.) at the end of the long headline.

Thank you for a quick and detailed reply.

I couldn't get the attachment link to work, but by linking right to http://www.apexsoft.ca/adwords.jpg I can see what you're asking.
This is a feature recently introduced into Adwords that moves the content from the Description Line 1 into the Headline. The guidelines state that if Description Line 1 is a full and complete sentence, Google may create the longer headline.
In your screenshot, you can see that only the highlighted ad has a gramatically correct and full sentence as its Description Line 1, and as a result it's been moved to the headline.
The other two ads are both missing what in my opinion are crucial full stops that severely impact the readability of the ad when displayed in the top-box three-pack -- let alone prohibit the "headline increase" promotion!
AFAIK there is no way to trigger this per se, it's all at Google's discretion. Rather than changing the text of your ads to include a fullstop you might get a quicker result by creating a new ad that contains the same text and the grammatical fixes.
Hope that helps!

How do YOU do an AdWords Audit?
Audits Audits Audits! I am overhauling my AdWords Audit Process and the Documentation and I was wondering if any generous souls our there mind sharing a few ideas or learnings that they have had along the way? I aim to make it as thorough but as quick and automated (think scripts) as possible. I'm also 14 pages into the documentation that I will use for some audits that include explanations, recommendations & definitions. I'd love to hear your opinions on what to Audit, how to audit and how to report on it 🙂

Adwords campaign and adgroup ideas
When it comes to SEO, I can do that. When it comes to adwords I tend to scratch my head. No idea why, I just do. Anyways I want to get some ideas of how I can setup a killer campaign and structure it and target relevant keywords. Here is my description of my business We are a private christian school providing preschool, elementary and highschool. We are located in Henderson, NV but service Las Vegas, NV as well. We have some of the highest scores and accolades in Nevada so we pride ourselves with those and feel we should target that. So far when it comes to structure I have come up with this setup Campaigns Henderson adgroups Preschool Top Keywords preschool Example Keywords preschools in henderson, nv preschools in henderson nevada preschool henderson nv preschool henderson nevada top rated Example Keywords top rated preschools in henderson nv top rates preschools in henderson nevada best Example Keywords best preschool in henderson nv best preschool in henderson nevada Elementary Top Keywords private school Example Keywords Elementary private schools in henderson nv Elementary private schools in henderson nevada Elementary private school in henderson nv Elementary private school in henderson nevada top rated Example Keywords top rated elementary private school in henderson nv top rated elementary private school in henderson nevada best Example Keywords best elementary private school in henderson nv High School Top Keywords private school top rated best Las Vegas adgroups Preschool Elementary High School I didn't finish the rest because you should get the point. I don't know if these are exact keywords, I just know that private school, top rated and best tend to be what people type. Then each adgroup will get a relevant ad pertaining to those keywords. Am I going overbaord? or is this a good start?
