There are many companies that use the AdWords strategy for some time and then pause certain parts of it for a while. It does not matter which element you are actually pausing whether it is the whole campaign or just the keyword. If it is not supporting you and giving you results, then pausing or stopping it is the only solution. But here are some important things that you might want to know about it.

Know the reason for turning off poor campaigns:

The actual purpose to turn off those campaigns that are not giving concrete results is to make sure that time and money are utilized in the right manner, the same logic that drives a pay per lead model where you only spend on results.  Although it is the easiest part of the job you can get, there are adverse effects of it. Pausing a relevant keyword that generates enough traffic but does not produce high ROI can be a great loss. But there are some good ways to work upon such underperforming parts and get the most scalable AdWords accounts.

Pausing is not always a smart option:

There was one case where the company had stopped the production of silicone iPhone cases as there was less ROI. The target of ROI was 500 percent, but it hardly could manage to reach 218 percent of ROI. So, the company decided to utilize these funds somewhere that can give good results, much like shifting spend toward channels such as Google Shopping ads. That is why, when they analyzed and jumped to the conclusion that the result from mobile was quite less, they simply turned off the mobile service, and due to which, they were happily able to achieve around 362 percent ROI. But there are some downward spirals you need to work on such as:

  • You can optimize the poorest performing areas of AdWords.
  • You can optimize the poor-performing AdWords parts so that you can grow in the market.

Factors that affect the performance - AdWords strategy:

Generally, devices like desktops, tablets, and mobile are the prime suspects of poor performance. You need to understand that during ad split testing, whether on Google or on Microsoft (Bing) advertising, you might lose the variations. There are some wrong search terms that might be messing with the performance of the keyword. Deal with it, and you will easily get the results.

You can make necessary changes in the word, phrase or board to match the modification. But you need to understand the fact that triggering the searches will have either good or a bad effect on the audience’s attention that you are actually trying to gather.
