Google Ads can be incredibly effective for Kenyan businesses—but it can also be a money pit if not managed properly. This guide will help you create campaigns that generate leads without wasting your advertising budget.
Setting Up Your First Campaign
- Define Clear Goals: Are you looking for website visits, phone calls, or form submissions?
- Research Keywords: Target keywords your potential Kenyan customers actually search for.
- Set Geographic Targeting: Focus on cities and regions where your customers are.
- Create Compelling Ads: Write ads that speak to Kenyan customer needs and pain points.
- Build Landing Pages: Direct ads to conversion-optimized landing pages, not your homepage.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
