Create a Google Search Campaign with Multiple Ad Groups

Overview

Splitting a Search campaign into ad groups lets you write ads that match each keyword theme. This walkthrough shows you how.

Step 1: Create the campaign

  1. Go to Marketing → Ad Manager and click Create Campaign.
  2. Choose Google → Search and click Next.
  3. Enter the campaign name, goal, budget and bid strategy.
  4. Set locations, languages and dates.

Step 2: Build your first ad group

  1. Name the ad group after its theme, such as "Teeth whitening".
  2. Add the keywords for that theme.
  3. Create a responsive search ad: final URL, headlines (up to 15) and descriptions (up to 4).

Step 3: Add more ad groups

  1. Click Add ad group.
  2. Name it, add its keywords and create its ads.
  3. Repeat for each theme.

Step 4: Add assets

Add sitelinks, callouts and call assets at the campaign level so all ad groups can use them.

Step 5: Review and publish

Check the summary, review the Opportunity Score and click Publish.

After launch

Compare ad groups in reporting. Pause weak ones and shift budget toward themes that convert.
