PERFORMANCE MARKETING

Organize Google Ads by Keyword Themes, Not Buyer Personas for Optimal Results

Google Ads campaigns deliver better results when structured by keyword themes instead of buyer personas, as Google’s automation optimizes for search intent, not marketer assumptions. Marketers should include varied ad messaging within tightly themed ad groups to reach different personas, while only splitting campaigns for fundamentally distinct keywords or regions. This approach provides better data density, improves automated bidding performance, and results in more effective, easier-to-manage campaigns.
