Hello, I am in the process to help a client structure his WordPress blog. I know it is important to create a good structure thinking of Usability, UX and SEO. Some questions like how many categories is ok? How many tags would be good to use for each post? What would you say is the best practice to do it? Is there any guide or template in Smartinsights?

Difficulties in setting up structure for a huge Google AdWords campaign

quote image

Hi,

I’m having problems and doubt on the Google AdWords campaign i’m building.
The company I’m in is a huge tech enterprise retailer with various brands and models.

For Example:
Server categories have about 7 brands, in all the brands there are more than 5 models in each brand.
It seems to have 3 sub categories in each categories.

My options on Campaign:
– I’m thinking of like in Server categories to set a Campaign like: Server Board, Server-Dell, Server HPE, and more. Which will end up with more than 20 campaigns for sure. In this kind of structuring I could change the money allocation accordingly to the brands that have good conversion and not good conversions.

– Or I could go with Campaign: Server Board, Server Brand . With more than 20 ad groups inside Server Brand that includes all the models of each brand.

Is there a best practice for this kind of products/retailers? Which method should I go with or this there a better structuring options.

Thank you

Harit P.
