Google Ads Performance Planner is a free tool in Google Ads to help you create detailed plans based on your spend level and see the impact on your campaign performance from hypothetical changes related to budget, seasonality, and campaign set-up changes. The tool allows you to forecast performance over the next month or quarter and manage budgets for multiple accounts and campaigns. It identifies optimization opportunities and optimal budget levels to meet your identified campaign goals and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Suggestions for campaign optimization using the same spend levels are provided as well as showing how performance may be affected by changes in spend. Using trended data, the tool is also able to provide insight into seasonality’s effect on the campaigns.<\/p>\n

Adwords Performance Planner is a valuable tool in managing your campaigns effectively and efficiently. You may be working with a corporate level campaign that has 20, 50, or even 100 campaigns with budgets in the tens of thousands of dollars. It would be impossible to effectively manage that scope and budget without not only marketing automation, but machine learning and advanced analytics to put data to work and automatically generate a comprehensive campaign plan.<\/p>\n

FACT<\/b>: 78% of marketers<\/b> said they rely on Google Ads and social media advertising to get their messages out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How does Google Ads Performance Planner work?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Google Performance Planner looks at data from its consortium of search queries involving billions of people as well as all of its advertisers. This data is updated every 24 hours so it is current and fresh. The tool has a simulator to replay ad auctions from the previous seven to 10 days and includes important variables like holidays, seasonality, competitive data, and landing page performance, including bounce rates and conversions. This is one reason why it is so important to link your Google Analytics account to your Google Ads account. You want to get the most out of Google’s resources, data, and technology. Here is an example of how the Performance Planner looks:<\/p>\n

As the simulation runs and data is collected in the Performance Planner, the forecasted data is evaluated and measured against the actual performance data to ensure the forecast is logical and achievable. Machine learning and AI put the finishing touches and details on the forecasts and you have the most technologically savvy predictive modeling for your Google paid search campaign that is available.<\/p>\n

You may have a low number of conversions either because your campaign is not properly optimized or because it has not been in market for long. If you have enough click data, the Performance Planner can still run the simulation and create a forecast and you can add your own conversion rate for the conversion forecasting reports. Using your actual performance data combined with Google’s immense warehouse of data from all of its advertisers and Google search users, the Performance Planner can be your best friend in paid search campaign management and optimization.<\/p>\n\r\n
