– Dave Maman, WeCall
He’s right, using customized landing pages and dynamic keyword insertion to further maximize conversions really pays off.
The key to any successful marketing campaign is to have a laser focus on the intent of the consumer and to give them exactly what they need. With Google Ads, a lot of marketers sometimes make the mistake of thinking that a general landing page will do the trick — it won’t!
The best way to stay laser focused on consumer intent is to tailor your landing page results to exactly what the searcher is looking for by using customized pages and dynamic keyword insertion.
For example, if you are running a pest control campaign and someone is searches for “Bed Bug Treatment Near Me”, you’re going to get a far better result by taking them to a landing page with images specific to bed bug treatment, and then using Dynamic Keyword Insertion from the search query to then insert new copy into the landing page that’s tailored specifically to what they are looking for.
This put together creates a sense of authority, builds trust and provides users with a better customer experience. For Google Ads, it ultimately results in an improved quality score, a lower cost-per click, and more conversions.
