How to deal with Low Performance in Product – Group Text Ads Campaigns (Using Per Partes & Keywords Match types)

From our experience, every keyword in product campaigns need at least 10 – 20 clicks for one conversion. But when you use more match type for keywords, they can cannibalize each other – and also clicks are divided into more keywords – so it is harder to optimize.

Keywords Match types

We recommend to use only Exact match type in Product – Group campaigns – because we want the same search terms users to search for, to be the same they will land on your search result page on eshop.  

Per-Partes

And also use our feature Per Partes for keywords and AdGroups, so keywords and AdGroups are enabled gradually from longest to shortest.

How to deal with Low Performance – Best Practices

The correct product name is the Alpha and the Omega also in case of text ads in Google Search since when we stick to certain rules and specific order in the creation of a product name, it will ensure us the simplest and high-quality creation of keywords for displaying product ads in Google Search.

Switch off Per-Partes

If is there low performance after 2 weeks => switch off Per partes in BlueWinston (Keywords creation). Wait some time and you will see results.

Create also Product – Group campaign (non-brand)

If still is there low performance, create also Product – Group campaign (non-brand), so in this campaign will be only keywords without brands. And the use of course Per partes.

Switch off Per-Partes in Product – Group (non-brand) campaign
