Keyword match types are not interchangeable. Each one serves a distinct strategic purpose.

Broad Match → Maximum reach. Minimum control. Useful for discovery, dangerous if left unmanaged.

Phrase Match → Balanced reach with contextual guardrails. Your ad shows when the search includes your phrase in order.

Exact Match → Maximum precision. Highest buyer intent. Lowest volume — but highest relevance.

The mistake most accounts make: using Broad Match as the default, then wondering why conversion rates are low.

A well-structured keyword strategy uses all three — intentionally.

Save this. Check your account.

Display advertising is one of the most misused tools in digital marketing.

Run it broadly → you're paying for impressions that will never convert.
Run it precisely → it becomes one of your most powerful brand and retargeting assets.

Effective display targeting considers:
→ Where the user is in the buyer journey
→ What intent signals they've shown
→ What message resonates at that specific stage

Top-of-funnel display builds awareness.
Mid-funnel display nurtures consideration.
Retargeting display recaptures lost intent.

Generic banners shown to everyone is not a display strategy. Precision is.

Your bounce rate is one of the most underrated — and most ignored — indicators of campaign health.

A high bounce rate tells you one of three things:
→ Your ad promised something the page didn't deliver
→ Your landing page loads too slowly
→ The user experience immediately signals 'this isn't for me'

Every wasted click is money you paid to send someone to a dead end.

Fix the message match. Improve page speed. Design for intent.

Your bounce rate isn't a web problem. It's a revenue problem.

Know yours. Then fix it.

Impression Share tells you what percentage of eligible searches your ads actually appeared in.

If your impression share is 40%, that means in 60% of relevant searches — you weren't there.

And your competitor was.

Low impression share is caused by:
→ Budget constraints limiting your visibility
→ Quality Score issues dropping your rank
→ Bid strategy misaligned with your goals

Understanding why you're losing impression share — whether it's budget or rank — is step one in recovering it.

We audit this for every client we onboard. The results are always revealing.

Two of the most misunderstood metrics in advertising — and most businesses get the balance completely wrong.

Reach = how many unique people see your message.
Frequency = how many times each person sees it.

Chase only reach → you get awareness with no retention.
Chase only frequency → you generate ad fatigue and tune-outs.

The sweet spot? Enough frequency to build recognition and trust, with enough reach to constantly expand your audience pool.

Most campaigns that 'aren't working' aren't broken. They're just imbalanced.

Know your numbers. Fix the imbalance.

Quality Score isn't just a vanity metric — it directly determines how much you pay and where your ad appears.

A score of 7–10 means:
✓ You pay less per click than competitors bidding more
✓ Your ads rank higher without increasing budget
✓ Your campaigns become more profitable over time

Quality Score is determined by three factors:
→ Expected click-through rate
→ Ad relevance to the keyword
→ Landing page experience

Cable TV advertising: expensive, broad, and nearly impossible to measure.

OTT (Over-The-Top) & CTV (Connected TV): targeted, trackable, and reaching exactly the audience you define — on the screens they're actually watching.

With OTT/CTV you can:
→ Target by geography, demographics, and behavior
→ Reach cord-cutters who no longer see traditional TV ads
→ Track impressions and measure real performance

If you're still only running search and display, you're missing an entire screen where your customers are spending hours every day.

Your customer database isn't just a contact list. It's a precision targeting engine waiting to be activated.

At J&L Marketing, we've seen businesses spend thousands chasing cold audiences when their warmest, highest-converting prospects are already in their CRM.

Used correctly, your own data allows you to:
→ Target past customers before they go to a competitor
→ Build look-alike audiences of your best buyers
→ Send the right message at the exact right moment

The secret metric that dictates your ad spend: Quality Score. 📈

How much you pay per click isn't just about your bid; it's about your relevance. Google assigns a Quality Score (1-10) to your keywords. The higher the score, the lower your costs.

Think of it this way: If you bid on your own company name, Google knows you are the best result, so the "cost of entry" is low—often under $1. However, if you try to show up for a competitor's name, your score drops because you aren't the "exact" match the user is looking for, forcing you to bid $3, $4, or even $5 just to compete.

If your own brand keywords are costing you a fortune, your landing page and ads are likely "out of sync." Keeping things relevant keeps your wallet full.

Why "Wide Reach" is killing your ROI. 📉

A lot of businesses have a love-hate relationship with display advertising. Usually, the "hate" comes from targeting a massive audience that has no intent to buy. This leads to low-quality clicks and a lot of wasted spend.

How to fix the funnel: Shift your focus to high-quality, high-intent audiences. Target the people who are already in the market—specifically those who were just on Google searching for your industry or visiting your competitors.

When you stop targeting "everyone" and start targeting "buyers," your results can jump 4x.
