The great wait to avoid making common Google Ad marketing mistakes is to prevent them from happening in the first place. And the best way to do that is to understand these mistakes, familiarise yourself with them, and discuss how to avoid them with your team.

Here are some common Google Ad mistakes you should know:

Mistake #1: Choosing the Wrong Default Campaign Targeting Options

Usually, when you create a search network campaign, you’ll be given the following options — either you choose Search Network, Display Network, or both. Where lead generation is the goal, you’ll want to select Search Network.

The reason is that choosing Search Network will give you a higher yield in conversion rates than Display Network. Search Network uses target keywords to allow your ads to appear on Google and search partners. With Display Network, your ads will be placed on relevant websites, but they won’t appear for people who are actively looking for your products and services.
