Google Enhanced Adword Campaigns automatically went live on all accounts on July 22nd.
This is going to be a very powerful ad platform in the right hands. The ability to focus your ads by time, location and device is a huge leap forward, allowing you to budget and plan to get your ads seen by the people you want to see them at the optimal time for them to do business with you.
Many of the people we've talked to about updating are either letting it go to the last minute or planning on letting Google set the best defaults for their ads since "Google knows best." While it's true that this may be OK for a lot of people, let's face it, Google's best interest is in you spending more money on your ads. It's worth your time to put some thought into when, where and on what device you want your ads spending your money.
The Tatu Digital team put together this Infographic for Enhanced Adword best practices to help you get rolling quickly.
The most important thing? Plan out how you are going to run your campaign and take some time right now to familiarize yourself with your best options.
