Let’s start with some basics
- Impressions: The number people who saw your ad.
- Clicks: The number clicks that brought people to your site from clicking on your ad.
- Click-through rate (CTR), is the percentage of people who click on your ad after viewing it. While CTRs will vary depending on the business type, it is best to keep yours at 1% for Search campaigns.
- Conversions: Customers take valuable actions after clicking on your ad like app downloads, purchases, leads or calls.
It’s important to pay attention to CTR and website engagement in the initial stages of your campaign to ensure you are attracting the right customers. To monitor key actions, you can connect your goals with data to track sales and conversions.

Be relevant
Your ads should be directed to the page most relevant to your keywords and ad text. You could direct users to your homepage if you are targeting general search terms. If your ad is specific to one product or service it should direct users to that page.
Trust
To optimize landing page user experience, there are many best practices. To build trust with your users, you can display reviews or remove pop-ups.
Make it simple
Use bullets, lists, clear calls to action and large buttons to get straight to the point. Customers can also be helped to quickly locate what they need by prioritizing the content above the fold.
Be trustworthy
Your users should have a consistent experience on all platforms. You should use a mobile version of your landing pages for mobile ads, or a responsive website design.
