I Googled a keyphrase for my campaign but I don’t see my ad—why?

Some potential reasons are you are in a competitive industry, you have other key phrases that have proven to convert, there's low search volume, and where you are searching (Google) from.

Why don't my ads appear at the top of the page when I search on Google?

A smart approach would be to work your way to the top by generating affordable leads in a short amount of time with a small amount of budget by bidding on lower position, higher quality keywords. Then start to scale.

What do you recommend for a new product launch?

If you are launching a new product, there are a few ideas to get it out there.

How can we target competitors even more? / What is a Competitive Proactive Campaign?

It's possible to target competitors beyond the basic competitor campaign (which is where we show an ad after someone searches for a competitor). We can do this using affinity & intent audiences (which are audiences of people who are frequently associated with the competitor's business).

How do you track leads who call my business?

Most agencies will count a call that lasts 45 seconds or longer, for example, as a conversion. But we try to minimize false leads by hiring a designated team to listens to the calls that come in from an ad and give it a score. Our call rater team also gives us the added bonus of helping us to uncover any issues that might be negatively affecting conversion rates during the calls (like an automated answering machine that is confusing people, for example, or low quality leads who are asking for something different than what your business sells, etc.).
