How to generate qualified B2B leads using Adwords

b2b leads

Lead generation is an important aspect for all B2B companies. But getting targeted and qualified leads can be an immense challenge. Certain companies spend lots of money to generate a single lead.

Google Adwords is extremely useful to generate the most qualified  B2B Leads.

But, before setting up an AdWords campaign you need to understand the customer’s buyer’s journey.

There are two types of customers you can target with an AdWords campaign:

  1. The one who wants to make a purchase at the moment
  2. The one who wants to buy in the future

After understanding your customer types, you can select a suitable AdWords campaign according to your business objective. This careful selection will help you in generating qualified B2B Leads.

Google Search Network Campaign

With Google search network campaign (also known as Paid Per Click advertising), you can reach out to the targeted people who are actively looking for the product or services.

With PPC advertising your ads will appear in the Google SERP results and Google’s Search Partners sites.

The search network campaign majorly focuses on people to take appropriate action by clicking on ads, call extensions and app extensions.

You can see in the example that for the term mobile app development, paid listings are present at the top of the SERP results compared to organic (free) listings. So the chances are high for people to click on ads compared to organic listings.

The search campaign triggers the ads which are based on keywords or terms searched by the users. Therefore use relevant search terms and keywords in the ads which your potential customer can search for.

Display Network
