Google AdWords is a great way to be on top of the game. However, we will need several steps to make perfect campaign on that. If you want to make powerful result, the following steps or checklist will help you out.
#1. Match Type of Keyword
There are four types of it; Broad, Modified Broad, Phrase, and Exact. You can basically start with anything like preferably phrase, but nothing on broad. This defines how you can drive traffic to you.
#2. Negative Keyword?
Check if your keyword is on negative form. It will make difficult keyword on Broad and Phrase. People will need to push ‘Related Search’ button to get it. Positive form is always preferable. Change it if you need to.
#3. Initial Bid on CPC
Use the Keyword Tool by Google. Your initial bid should be close to the estimation. It makes your ad on top position and good exposure, and gets more CTR. You can low bid it later.

In common cases, three sentences ad is effective. And as for the rotation, you should prefer to “Shows ads more evenly” than others alternatives for more monitoring and control on best result.
