00:00.640 --> 00:04.840
With this video, let's get to one of the most important targeting methods.

00:04.840 --> 00:08.790
And that is as we scroll down here the keywords.

00:08.800 --> 00:15.670
So when we expand this keywords option, the very natural thing we can do is just to enter the keywords

00:15.670 --> 00:18.250
that we want to bid on with our ads.

00:18.250 --> 00:22.420
So when people search, let's say business plan like that.

00:22.420 --> 00:26.020
So when people search like this on YouTube, they type in the word business plan.

00:26.020 --> 00:28.450
We want our ad to come up.

00:28.450 --> 00:29.020
At the moment.

00:29.020 --> 00:34.870
You see there is nobody advertising on that keyword, although at other times I did see ads on that

00:34.870 --> 00:35.560
keyword.

00:35.560 --> 00:41.200
So if there's nobody advertising, perhaps this ad for us can be cheap.

00:41.200 --> 00:43.570
But that's just a guess, right?

00:43.750 --> 00:45.160
How do we know?

00:45.160 --> 00:48.490
Actually, how do we actually know how much is going to cost us?

00:48.490 --> 00:51.490
Well, that's why Google provides the Google Keyword tool.

00:51.490 --> 00:52.240
Let's look at it.

00:52.240 --> 00:58.540
When you're in your ad dashboard under Tools Planning, you go to Keyword Planner.

00:58.540 --> 01:01.990
And one of the fields here is especially helpful.

01:02.590 --> 01:07.540
So when we click on Discover New Keywords, we're just looking for keywords and keyword ideas.

01:07.540 --> 01:11.530
And we'll use that example business plan get results.

01:11.530 --> 01:17.470
And when you scroll down you'll see a field competition field right here.

01:17.470 --> 01:22.270
This one that's competition for you bidding on ads.

01:22.270 --> 01:28.090
But keep in mind this is for Google search not YouTube search.

01:28.090 --> 01:29.080
Google search.

01:29.110 --> 01:33.550
This still gives you a great idea of which keywords are popular.

01:33.550 --> 01:40.870
It still gives you a great idea of approximately the volumes, if not in absolute terms, then relative

01:40.870 --> 01:43.870
to each other, like which terms are more popular and by how much.

01:43.870 --> 01:47.620
But again, this bidding is not for YouTube.

01:47.620 --> 01:52.810
This bidding shows Google, although it's still helpful to get the sense of which terms are more or

01:52.810 --> 01:53.770
less expensive.

01:54.100 --> 01:59.980
Now, this doesn't always have to be the case, because remember, when other advertisers run through

01:59.980 --> 02:05.350
their ad budget, like when it gets towards evening, this range goes down.

02:05.350 --> 02:13.390
So one strategy you can use that's very smart if you want to decrease the cost of your ads, is to advertise

02:13.390 --> 02:20.320
later in the day, when many of your competitors have run through their ad budgets to remind you how

02:20.320 --> 02:25.450
that's done, you just basically scroll up and under additional settings here, which can sometimes

02:25.480 --> 02:27.100
be a little tricky to find.

02:27.130 --> 02:28.360
You'll see.

02:28.390 --> 02:29.560
AD schedule.

02:29.680 --> 02:32.890
We cover this in a different video, but it's good to go over this again.

02:32.890 --> 02:39.190
So again, if you are in an expensive niche or any niche really, and you want to run cheaper ads that

02:39.190 --> 02:44.170
are still effective later in the day can be a great option to experiment with.

02:44.200 --> 02:51.460
In any case, the way to make this keyword Planner tool useful for you is to find all the potential

02:51.490 --> 02:55.120
keywords you want to bid on, or that would make sense for you.

02:55.120 --> 02:55.870
Like here.

02:55.870 --> 02:56.800
Restaurant business plan.

02:56.800 --> 03:01.030
I mean, if you don't have a restaurant, don't bid on this keyword, but if you have a restaurant,

03:01.060 --> 03:05.200
this would be a great one because it's so much better targeted.

03:05.200 --> 03:10.630
And so what you would do is you would go down the list like business plan, maybe business plan template,

03:10.630 --> 03:16.930
if that's what you have, because that was one of the keywords in the keyword list here, writing a

03:16.930 --> 03:18.130
business plan.

03:18.340 --> 03:19.990
So you would add that.

03:19.990 --> 03:25.840
And as an option, if you don't want to use the Google Keyword tool, you can enter a related website,

03:25.840 --> 03:27.220
the website you are promoting.

03:27.220 --> 03:30.310
So whatever website you're promoting, let's choose an example.

03:30.310 --> 03:31.570
This is my website.

03:31.570 --> 03:35.170
Under this website I have this coaching page.

03:35.170 --> 03:38.560
So let's say I'm selling a specific kind of a coaching.

03:38.650 --> 03:42.130
Here's a page marketing strategies and a marketing consultant.

03:42.130 --> 03:43.660
That's where I promote myself.

03:43.690 --> 03:49.000
I can take the URL of this and I can paste it into this related website field.

03:49.030 --> 03:52.540
Press enter and it's going to give me keywords.

03:52.540 --> 03:54.910
And some of these may not be a fit.

03:54.910 --> 03:57.520
Like that was a coaching page right.

03:57.520 --> 04:00.340
So a lot of these don't fit because it's too general.

04:00.340 --> 04:04.330
But maybe digital marketing company you know that's kind of me in this particular case.

04:04.330 --> 04:07.030
So I can click on adding that keyword.

04:07.030 --> 04:10.180
Obviously it's not the same keyword as if you're targeting business planning.

04:10.180 --> 04:11.410
These are two different kinds of things.

04:11.410 --> 04:18.310
But just I just wanted to give you an example of getting keywords from the page which you are promoting,

04:18.310 --> 04:23.620
which in many ways makes a lot of sense because there should be a strong consistency between the keywords

04:23.620 --> 04:26.500
people search and the keywords that are on your page.

04:26.500 --> 04:30.340
So if they search for something that's on your page they want, it will make sense that they would go

04:30.340 --> 04:31.420
to your page and buy.

04:31.450 --> 04:34.300
So these are just the two ways you can choose keywords.

04:34.300 --> 04:38.170
And again remember the more specific and the more targeted the better.

04:38.170 --> 04:42.940
So business plan when a person searches that I don't know exactly what they want, do they want somebody

04:42.940 --> 04:43.720
to write it for them?

04:43.720 --> 04:44.710
Do they want an example?

04:44.710 --> 04:46.780
Do they want strategies?

04:46.780 --> 04:49.120
But here is more specific business plan template.

04:49.120 --> 04:55.090
So if you can offer a business plan template, you know that person is looking for a business plan template.

04:55.120 --> 04:57.610
They're not looking for somebody to write their business plan.

04:57.610 --> 04:59.080
They're not looking for coaching.

04:59.080 --> 05:02.020
You kind of know more specifically what they want.

05:02.020 --> 05:06.700
And if they search writing a business plan, they're looking for a tutorial.

05:06.730 --> 05:08.230
This can be a free tutorial.

05:08.230 --> 05:11.320
This can be a course, but likely a free tutorial.

05:11.320 --> 05:17.740
And so you choose the keywords from which you can decipher the intent of the user.

05:17.740 --> 05:23.470
And if the intent of the user makes sense for what you are promoting.

05:23.470 --> 05:28.840
Like if they type buy shoes and you have a page that sells shoes, okay, great.

05:28.840 --> 05:31.450
But if they just type shoes, you don't know what they want.

05:31.480 --> 05:33.310
Do they want to just look at latest styles?

05:33.310 --> 05:34.150
You have no idea.

05:34.150 --> 05:41.470
So the more specific the keywords, of course there will be fewer people searching that, but the targeting

05:41.470 --> 05:43.540
of them will be far greater.

05:43.540 --> 05:50.260
So if I was selling a business plan course, I wouldn't actually bid on any of these.

05:50.260 --> 05:57.970
I would literally bid on business plan course or business plan education or business planning, education

05:57.970 --> 06:02.080
or business plan training, or a variety of these keyword ideas.

06:02.270 --> 06:04.760
Based on the Google Keyword tool.

06:04.760 --> 06:10.400
So I would go to the Google Keyword tool and I would ask it for ideas not on business plan, but like

06:10.430 --> 06:14.270
on the course, uh, corporate training programs.

06:14.510 --> 06:15.320
Interesting.

06:15.320 --> 06:18.080
Right now you're getting somewhere because that's expensive.

06:18.110 --> 06:19.520
You can earn a lot of money from that.

06:19.520 --> 06:24.560
It's not good for this particular business plan course that I'm telling, but it's close.

06:24.560 --> 06:32.600
So the idea is you would go down the list and find keywords that are additional ideas that you can also

06:32.600 --> 06:33.230
bid on.

06:33.230 --> 06:33.950
That would make sense.

06:33.950 --> 06:39.050
And then you add these keywords and you run your ad with that very, very, very specific targeting

06:39.050 --> 06:41.990
because you know exactly what the searcher wants.

06:42.020 --> 06:45.430
They want a business plan course if that's what you offer.

06:45.440 --> 06:46.130
Perfect.

06:46.130 --> 06:47.840
That's great targeting.

06:47.840 --> 06:53.210
So avoid the generic general terms and go for very specific.

06:53.330 --> 06:59.510
You'll spend less and you'll get better targeted audience who might convert at a higher rate.
