[alert_box type=”check”]1) Target the most relevant users[/alert_box]
Correct targeting is the key to successful marketing. Advertisements should be shown only to the people that are most relevant to the business. Choose landing page, keywords, Ad copy and targeted locations carefully. Choosing the wrong targeting options could become a nightmare and you may miss a precious window of opportunity. Even a few hours lost could be a disaster for a seasonal AdWords campaign.

Billing issues are time consuming. In order to avoid any delay setup billing information early. Don’t wait until the last minute, because if something goes wrong there will be no time to fix it. Billing issues take time to resolve, usually at least 1-3 business days. In most cases that would be too long, so deal with it as soon as possible.
