Why Google Analytics Is The Best Tool For Managing Google Adwords Budgets

By Kayla Wright

Most Small ´to Midsize companies have ´tried using Google Adwords at some point in ´their marketing efforts܂ This is because of ´the high brand familiarity of Google‚ ´the widely distributed ´trial coupons‚ and ´the extremely high search market ´that Google enjoys in most countries including Australia܂

But ´there is a wide difference in how successful ´these companies have been and whether ´they continue ´to advertise on Google for ´the longterm܂ This can be a matter of luck as some industries are easier ´than others but a key way for most marketing departments ´to really understand what is happening in ´their Google Adwords account is ´to create a Google Analytics account and install ´the ´tracking code into their website܂

In fact ´this is probably ´the single best way for most Adwords advertisers ´to lower ´their costs and ´to increase ´the amount of leads and sales ´they are getting from Google Adwords܂

This is for 3 main reasons:

1)Analytics integrates quite easily with Google Adwords and it has developed and is constantly ´tweaked ´to help companies manage ´their Adwords spend܂ Even in ´the last month ´there have been changes ´that give Adwords advertisers even more information and granularity ´to understand ´their spend better܂ Both of ´these solutions come from ´the same company and it shows܂

2)Adwords Cost can be directly inputted into your Google Analytics and ´this data can be pulled into ´the reports at a keyword level܂ You can see ´the different prices ´that each word is costing you per click and even more importantly how likely ´that ´traffic is ´to convert ´to a lead or sale܂ This is all part of ´the system and is called linking you cost data܂ We recommend it ´to all companies ´that are spending much at all on Adwords܂

3)Easy and quick implementation܂ Google Analytics can be setup‚ linked ´to your Adwords account; ´the code installed‚ and be ´tracking data in less ´than an hour even for non ´tech people܂ Analytics itself is free for all but ´the largest websites and as soon as you spend some money on Adwords it gets free for everyone܂ It also has an option called auto-tagging ´that allows very easy detailed reports much easier ´than any other implementation܂ It is just a matter of adding it ´to ´the company account ´that has Adwords and asking for ´the code܂ Add ´that ´to ´the site or have someone do ´that‚ and you are collecting data܂ Check back ´tomorrow and it should have more data ´than you have been getting on your Adwords account܂
