Step 1: Set up Google Ads Account
- Create/Sign In to Your Google Ads Account:
- Go to Google Ads and sign in or create a new account.
- Complete the account setup process, including adding payment details.
Step 2: Define Campaign Goal
-
Choose Campaign Type:
- Search Campaign: Ideal for targeting people who are actively searching for bakery-related products (e.g., „best cakes near me”, „fresh bread delivery”).
- Display Campaign: Great for creating visually appealing ads and showcasing your bakery products across the Google Display Network (websites, apps, etc.).
For the bakery business, a Search Campaign will likely work best, but you can also run Display Ads to reach people who may not yet be actively searching for bakery products.
-
Set Your Campaign Objective:
- Choose the goal for your campaign (e.g., „Sales”, „Leads”, or „Website traffic”). For a bakery, Sales would be a top choice if you want to drive conversions, like cake orders or product purchases.
Step 3: Set Up Campaign Settings
-
Campaign Name:
- Choose a clear, descriptive campaign name (e.g., “Galaty Bakery Sale” or “Galaty Sweets Campaign”).
-
Location Targeting:
- Set Location to Galaty City:
- In the campaign settings, under „Locations”, type in „Galaty” or the specific geographic region.
- Use the “Target” option to focus on users in Galaty city specifically.
- If you want to refine further, you can exclude areas where you don’t want your ads to show (such as other nearby towns).
- Set Location to Galaty City:
-
Language:
- Set language targeting to „English” or other languages spoken in the region, depending on your audience.
-
Bid Strategy:
- Start with Maximize Conversions (Google will automatically adjust bids to get the most conversions within your budget).
- You can also choose Manual CPC (Cost-Per-Click) if you prefer to control the cost per click, but Maximize Conversions is easier for beginners.
-
Budget:
- Set a daily budget based on what you’re willing to spend. For example, if you’re just starting, you might start with a budget of around $10-$20 per day, then increase as you see performance.
Step 4: Create Target Audience and Demographics
-
Targeting by Age and Gender:
- Choose Age Range: Select 18-55 years as your primary audience.
- Choose Gender: Select Both male and female.
-
Interest Targeting (Keywords):
- Use keywords related to sweets, cakes, bakery products.
- For example, you can use keywords like „fresh bakery cakes”, „buy sweets near me”, „birthday cakes delivery”, „custom cakes Galaty”, „bakery products Galaty city”, etc.
- Consider using broad match or phrase match keywords for flexibility, but keep a close eye on the performance and adjust accordingly.
- Use Negative Keywords to prevent your ads from showing up in irrelevant searches (e.g., avoid showing ads for non-bakery-related searches like „bread recipes”).
- Use keywords related to sweets, cakes, bakery products.
-
Custom Audiences:
- Under Audiences, select people interested in topics like „baking”, „sweets”, or „desserts”.
- You can also target people based on their behavior. For example, people who have previously shown interest in cake-related content.
-
Device Targeting:
- Focus on Mobile and Desktop since people might search for bakery products both on their phones (while on-the-go) and at home.
- If you want to target those in the local area more effectively, make sure Location Extensions are enabled to show your business address and phone number directly in the ad.
Step 5: Create Compelling Ad Copy
-
Write Engaging Headlines:
- Headline 1: „Fresh Cakes & Sweets in Galaty”
- Headline 2: „Order Your Favorite Bakery Products”
- Headline 3: „Fast Delivery & Freshly Baked Goods”
- Keep headlines around 30 characters or fewer to ensure they fit within the ad format.
-
Ad Descriptions:
- Description 1: “Indulge in our delicious selection of cakes, cookies, and more! Delivery available in Galaty.”
- Description 2: “Order fresh bakery goods online. Satisfy your cravings today with Galaty’s top-rated bakery.”
- Keep descriptions within the 90-character limit.
-
Call-to-Action (CTA):
- Examples: “Order Now”, “Get Your Cake Today”, “Shop Bakery Items”, “Freshly Baked, Delivered Now”.
-
Use Ad Extensions:
- Sitelink Extensions: Link to specific pages like “Wedding Cakes,” “Birthday Cakes,” “Bread,” etc.
- Call Extensions: Allow users to call directly from the ad for inquiries or orders.
- Location Extensions: Include your bakery’s physical address and a map.
- Promotion Extensions: If you’re offering a special discount, add a promotional extension.
Step 6: Set Your Bidding & Budget
-
Choose Bidding Strategy:
- Start with Maximize Conversions if you want Google to optimize for more conversions (e.g., sales or clicks).
- Alternatively, you can start with Manual CPC if you want more control over individual bid amounts.
-
Set Budget:
- Start small and increase as you see successful results. A daily budget of around $10 to $20 should be a good starting point.
Step 7: Track & Measure Performance
-
Conversion Tracking:
- Set up conversion tracking in Google Ads to track purchases, form submissions, or phone calls.
- To track conversions, place the tracking code on the “Thank You” page of your website, or set up call conversion tracking if people are calling your bakery.
-
Review Campaign Performance:
- Monitor the key metrics: Clicks, Impressions, Conversion Rate, and Cost-Per-Conversion.
- Use Google Ads’ Search Term Report to see what searches triggered your ads and adjust keywords accordingly.
-
Optimize Based on Results:
- Over time, refine your ad copy, targeting, and keyword list based on performance. Pause underperforming keywords, and focus on those driving the most conversions.
Step 8: Optimize for Local Search (If Relevant)
- Use Local Search Ads: Ensure your bakery’s information (address, phone number, hours) is up-to-date.
- Leverage Google My Business: Link your Google Ads account to Google My Business so your bakery’s listing is shown with the ad, making it easier for people to call or find your location.
