Common Google Ads Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)
Using Too Broad Keywords
Broad keywords most of the time attract unqualified traffic and waste your ad budget.
Fix: Use long-tail keywords with clear commercial intent like “buy sports shoes online” instead of “shoes”. These attract more ready-to-buy customers.
Not Setting Up Conversion Tracking
Not setting up conversion tracking means you’re just flying blind and won’t know which ads are actually generating leads or sales.
Fix: Always set up Google Analytics goals or Google Ads conversion tracking in order to measure success accurately and optimize it for what exactly works.
Poor Landing Page Quality
A great ad can get clicks. However, a weak landing page can still lose customers.
Fix: Make sure your landing page is fast, mobile-friendly, and perfectly aligned with your ad message. It should actually deliver exactly what the user expects after clicking.
Ignoring Negative Keywords
Showing ads for irrelevant searches leads to wasted spend and lower ROI.
Fix: Regularly update your negative keyword list to block out unrelated or low-converting traffic. For example, if you sell luxury watches, you might exclude terms like “cheap” or “free.”
