Imagine going to the market to buy apples. You ask the first vendor: “Do you have apples?” and he replies: “Yes, but also watermelons, bananas, strawberries, tomatoes, zucchini, and…”
You look at him, you look at the stall, and you move on to another one where the sign clearly says: “Sweet apples, 5 lei/kg.”

That’s exactly what your customers do when searching on Google. If your ad is vague and doesn’t match what they’re looking for, you lose the sale.

Let’s see how you can turn your Google Ads campaigns from a stall full of everything and nothing into one that sells exactly what the customer wants:

1. Set clear objectives (not “I want it all”)

The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make at the start? Campaigns on autopilot, with goals like “I want more traffic.”

👉 But traffic doesn’t pay the rent. Customers do.

If you want leads, set the campaign for leads. If you want online sales, choose the Sales objective. Google Ads is like a GPS: you must tell it where you want to go, or it will take you around the city.

2. Use long-tail keywords (a.k.a. hidden treasures)

One customer searches for “shoes.” Another searches for “white men’s sports shoes size 42 Bucharest.”
Guess who’s more likely to buy?

Long-tail keywords are longer, more precise, and (surprise!) usually cheaper.
Real example: a café in Cluj was spending hundreds of lei on the keyword “coffee.” After a quick audit, we switched strategy to “coffee delivery Cluj” and “freshly ground coffee Cluj.” Result? Cost per click down 60% and real customers ordering.

3. Write benefit-driven ads, not bla-bla

Your ads shouldn’t be your company’s CV. Customers don’t wake up thinking “wow, I can’t wait to read about product features!”
They want to know what they gain.

Dry example: “20 years of experience.”
Better example: “Save 2 hours daily with our solution.”

Instead of “Best car service in town,” try “We fix your car in 24h or you get free transport.”
Result? More clicks, more calls, less boredom.

4. Optimize your landing page (it’s not a museum)

Let’s say you wrote a killer ad: “50% off pizza today.”
The user clicks, and you send them to your homepage where they see everything from pasta to desserts. You lost the conversion.

Landing pages should be like first dates: quick, clear, and with one message.
✅ Pizza ad? Page must be about pizza.
✅ Sneakers promo? Page must show sneakers, not sandals.

Real example: an online shop in Romania doubled conversions with a simple change – creating dedicated pages for each campaign instead of sending traffic to the homepage.

5. Analyze and adjust constantly (Google Ads is not ‘set and forget’)

If you let the campaign run on its own, Google will take your money and politely thank you.

You need to check:

  • which keywords drive conversions,

  • which ads have higher CTR,

  • what times of day perform best.

Example: an entrepreneur in Brașov had campaigns running 24/7. After analysis, we found 80% of conversions came between 9:00–18:00. Solution? Limiting the budget to those hours → costs cut by 35% and more leads.

Conclusion: Google Ads is not magic, it’s strategy

Apply these tips and you’ll quickly see the difference: less money wasted on useless clicks and more real sales.

You don’t need to spend more, just smarter.
