What We Did
-
- Keyword Research: Based on the brief, website analysis, and competitor research, an initial list of 7,045 keywords was generated. A broad set of negative keywords was compiled to exclude non-relevant clicks. The final campaigns were launched using a refined list of 215 keywords, including queries like «sell iphone,» «sell macbook pro,» and «pawnshop ipad».

- Campaign Structure & Segmentation: Advertising campaigns were segmented into Search, Google Display Network (GDN), and Remarketing. Traffic from all campaigns was directed to a specific landing page.
- Ad Development: Ads were created for Search, GDN, and Remarketing campaigns. Ad extensions and additional sitelinks were configured to improve ad relevance and filter traffic, with links such as «iPhone X or Newer,» «iPads,» «Apple Watch,» and «MacBooks».
