Top Google Ads Recommendations

Do you use Google Ads to market your dental practice? If not, you should! Google Ads is continuously changing the marketing game by constantly updating their platform. It is a great way to reach new patients, but it can be tough to know where to start. The main updates within the last four years have been focused on machine learning. But what exactly is machine learning and more importantly does it work?

Recent Changes to Google’s Algorithm 

Machine learning in Google Ads includes everything from responsive search ads (which is now the only option for ads in search), responsive display ads, automated bidding, smart campaigns, etc. The goal is to provide an easier user experience while driving results and providing the algorithm with more data to improve. Google seems to be attempting to make the platform easier for novice marketers which in turn is making it more difficult to avoid machine learning for the more experienced user. 

Google is pushing using machine learning through the elimination of standard text ads, single account Google Rep calls where the emphasis tends to be on Google’s machine learning recommendations, the need to maintain an optimization score of 70% or higher to maintain Google Partnership, and even providing an opt-in option to automatically apply Google’s recommendations all of which are based around machine learning.

Is Machine Learning Beneficial?

But what about the results?  Does machine learning truly benefit campaigns? Machine learning can certainly benefit a campaign at times; however, the campaigns must always be closely watched. At times the cost per click (or CPCs) can get high for low converting keywords, something that the algorithm is supposed to avoid or campaign traffic could slow as an incorrect Target CPA was set. This is why working with a dental specific marketing company is extremely beneficial. Our team of experts will work with you to create a campaign that drives results.
