Top Traffic-Driving Keywords

Top Performing Ad Copy

• The Visit ad group’s average position is below the campaign average of 2.18. We will increase bids within the Visits ad group to drive up average position across critical keywords and increase click-through rates (CTRs).

• The Parks & Lakes and Arts & Entertainment ad groups had the lowest average CTRs this month. To increase CTRs across these two ad groups, Marcus Thomas will recommend and implement (upon approval) new ad copy to test if different messaging drives increases in CTRs and overall click volume.
