Remarketing for Search & Dynamic AdsEliyahu Speiser – DriveHill Media
Dynamic Search Ads
Beta Launched in October 2011 A solution for businesses with hundreds of new listings
& changes to availability. At the time Google said user behavior changes – each
day 16% of searches are new to Google. This means even a well managed account can be missing out on queries and have delays creating new campaigns and ads.
DSA was designed to complement, not replace your current strategy to fill in the Gaps.
Uses Google's organic search index of your website to determine which searches might be relevant to the products and services offered.

DSA Setup
First option: categories recommended for your site:
• e.g. dining tables, chairs etc.
• Google gives you an estimate of website coverage and a recommended bid
Second option: All webpages:
• You’ll want to be careful with this option: about us page, policy pages etc.

• Categories option: given examples of headlines and landing pages to be included.
• Note how the dynamically generated headline is longer that the usual 25 characters.

The 3 latter options can be tested using a site search with search operators in Google :
• Text: site:example.com intext:dining table
• Title: site:example.com intitle:dining table
• URL: site:example.com inurl:dining-table

Remarketing Lists for Search Ads or RLSA are audience lists which allow you to remarket to people via search who have visited your site. (as opposed to via GDN)
Google has just released from beta in October RLSAs for shopping campaigns and local inventory ads.
There are two settings for RLSA: Bid = bid separately on your audience within an existing campaign Bid and target = Only bid and target your audience
A remarketing list for Google search ads needs to have a minimum of 1,000 cookies before the list can be used.

Google suggests two basic strategies for utilizing RLSAs:
1. Create a new remarketing campaign: Bid on keywords that you don't normally bid on just for people who have recently visited your site. e.g. abandoners, purchasers, etc…
2. You can optimize bids for your existing campaign’s keywords for visitors on your remarketing lists.

Let’s take this one step further
Strategies for using RLSAs, DSAs & Shopping ads:
DSA RLSA Campaigns
Shopping Campaigns with an RLSA (set to bid mode)
Dedicated Shopping RLSA campaign (set to bid and target)

DSA RLSA Campaign This combination allows you to target and bid on
keywords you normally would not bid on. A good way to “up-sell” in search to your various
audiences. Automatically triggers ads using landing pages based off the audience’s relevant queries.
You do not have to worry about researching keyword lists and creating lots of ads.
Create ad groups around categories you would like to remarket to. Allows you to monitor your auto target reports more tightly.

Adding RLSA to a Shopping Campaign
• RLSAs can now be added to your already existing shopping campaigns by adding remarketing audiences set to bid only mode.
• This allows you to place either a separate bid or a bid modifier (e.g. +25%, +50% etc…) on audiences such as cart abandoners or people who have purchased in the past x days etc.

Dedicated Shopping RLSA Campaign
• A dedicated RLSA shopping campaign set to bid and target can be set up to target past purchasers and / or cart abandoners.
• This allows you target those audiences with out the negative keywords you undoubtedly have running on your regular shopping campaigns
• Separate budget from your regular shopping campaign
• You can utilize custom messaging and promotions.

To Sum It All Up
Utilize RLSAs together with Dynamic Search Ads and shopping campaigns to serve highly relevant ads to your audiences without all the work of keyword research. Hyper relevant queries should be triggered by your auto targets and shopping feed for your RLSA audiences.
