Great companies are fueled by unique business ideas, and there are plenty of ways to rework your content to serve your business’ specific needs. A strong Google Ads strategy requires custom alignments with your online content. In this article, we explain how to sustainably align your Google Ads campaign with your website UX and customer service to generate better leads.
Aligning Google Ads with Website UX
Landing Pages
The first step to aligning Google Ads with your website UX is to create dedicated landing pages for each product and/or service that your brand provides. Instead of trying to ferry all of your organic traffic toward your homepage, it’s actually smarter to split your users up by segmenting your site’s content. Your site’s web design will build customer trust if you make it easy for them to quickly find what they are looking for.
Matching Content to Ads
The second step to aligning with your website UX is to make sure your content actually matches what you say in your ads. Focus on high-intent keywords and double-check that the headings, images, and images compliment the content and imagery of your ads. Matched messaging is crucial for visible trust signals and positive brand reputation, so you need to create accurate and engaging content with a uniform theme and message that will actually convert site visitors to actual orders.
Mobile Optimization
Mobile optimization is a must in today’s phone-centric climate. When you’re designing your landing pages, prioritize a very clear visual flow with faster loading speeds, simple contact forms, and highly visible contact options. Minimize distractions and make it easy for users to navigate regardless of device.
Aligning Google Ads with Customer Service
Defining Quality Leads
To start, you should use your customer service team and their insights to define, track, and bid on quality leads. Use their unique knowledge of your customer base’s wants and needs so that you can target high-value conversions instead of swinging broadly with your ads. Your sales team, if you have one, can also be contacted for insights.
Conversion Tracking
Similarly, you should use offline conversion tracking to see what is helping your business convert visitors to orders. Feed your sales data into Google Ads to form a feedback loop so that you can identify which keywords did not just generate clicks but actually lead to product or service purchases. This tracking data can also be utilized to double-check that newer content strategies are working or not working.
Negative Keywords
You can also use your customer service team to identify negative keywords, i.e. keywords that bring in low-quality leads. Add these terms and phrases to a special list so that they can be minimized or entirely eliminated from your Google ads. Just like with positive insights, your sales team might be helpful here as well.
How Customer Service Integration Drives Better Leads
Lead Filtering
A better customer service model can also help drive better leads, because it helps the user find what they are looking for. Format your landing pages so that they ask visitors qualifying questions so that users can self-sort themselves before reaching customer service or sales. This method will be even further strengthened by the creation of segmented landing pages mentioned above.
Support Channels
Another way you can better integrate customer service to generate better leads is by providing support channels. Once a user has followed the link from your Google ad to the appropriate landing page, they should be able to immediately enter a live chat or be put in contact with customer service so that their remaining questions can be answered.
For example, a tent rental business might have a clear contact form once you come to their landing page about large tent rentals. This form then becomes a support channel through which the high-quality lead can talk to support team members about add-ons such as air conditioning or supplemental heaters.
How To Maintain Google Ad Alignments
Regular Testing
In addition to continuous site maintenance, you need to perform regular testing to keep everything aligned with your Google ad campaigns. Try new landing page and ad designs and then use conversion tracking to see what is working and what isn’t working so that you keep learning about high-value leads.
Automation/AI
There are also various kinds of software, AI, and other emerging technologies that you can use to help automate your alignment process. One of the most popular is by using Smart Bidding or one of its competitors with offline conversion data in order to sort out leads that the AI models think will lead to a sale.
Summary
To enact a properly powerful Google Ads strategy, you need to make sure that is aligned with your website UX and customer service strategies. You can do so by creating dedicated landing pages, matching your website content to ad content, optimizing UX for mobile devices, defining quality leads, obtaining negative keywords, and performing conversion tracking. Coupled with proper customer service integration, these principles feed into one another and can be consistently maintained to drive better leads for your business.
