As the digital landscape continues to evolve, advertisers must adapt their strategies to stay ahead. A recent report by Optmyzr has performed a comprehensive comparative analysis between Broad Match vs. Exact Match and Maximize Conversions vs. Maximize Conversion Value in advertisement campaigns, revealing intriguing findings. The report posits that Exact Match and Maximize Conversion Value strategies may supersede their alternatives when optimizing ad performance.
Previously, digital marketing wizard Navah Hopkins backed Broad Match enhancements, a type of keyword match in Google Ads, for their comprehensive torrent of related search results. However, recent findings by Optmyzr show a shift towards the efficacy of the Exact Match type.
This reiterates the importance for advertisers of testing strategies and challenging convention. Testing ensures that advertisers’ orchestrated plans can adapt to the increasingly mutating digital landscape. A/B testing strategies before making any major decisions helps avoid costly mistakes and enhances the campaign’s ROI.
The Optmyzr report utilized several key metrics to evaluate campaign performance, including Cost Per Click (CPC), Click Through Rate (CTR), Cost Per Acquisition (CPA), Return On Ad Spend (ROAS), and Conversion rate. These metrics allowed the team to evaluate the overall efficiency and profitability of each strategy.
The report findings suggest most accounts favored Exact Match and Maximize Conversion Value. Exact Match outperformed Broad Match across the board in every metric, while Maximize Conversion Value soared past Maximize Conversions in CPC, CTR, CPA, and ROAS.
It is important to note that Broad Match isn’t obsolete. It shines in exceptional cases where it captures opportune clicks that Exact Match filters out. Broad Match’s wide range captures more search queries imposing diversity.
Despite its higher CPA, Maximize Conversion Value’s performance was an eye-opener for many. Contrary to popular belief, the higher CPA does not necessarily result in lower profitability. In fact, it indicates that businesses might be reaching higher-value customers, thus achieving better returns in the long run.
A crucial aspect of optimizing ad campaigns is determining conversion value based on customer value and channel conversion rates. Establishing a clear understanding of these values adds more depth to the interpretation of the CPA metric and enables more objective marketing decisions.
Fastidious advertisers, according to the report, should test assumptions, maintain regular checks on their accounts and bid strategies, and set aside budgets for broad testing. They should not hesitate to venture into testing the Exact Match and Maximize Conversion Value strategies, for they just might be the game-changing tactics in 2023.
Navah Hopkins, Optmyzr Evangelist, concluded: “In the rapidly shifting landscape of digital marketing, we cannot afford to take anything for granted. Our strategies need to adapt and evolve in line with new data, trends, and audiences.”
SEO experts, digital marketers, advertisers, it’s time to check your current strategies and consider the proven benefits and efficiency of Exact Match and Maximize Conversion Value. Use this newfound leverage wisely and watch your ad campaigns thrive.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
