Scoring Google Ads & Landing Pages for “Kitchen Renovation Oakville”

By Robert Clarke | Attract, GOOGLE ADWORDS, Landing Page Optimization, Lead Generation, Paid Search, Pay Per Click, Website Optimization | 3 comments | 8 April, 2014 | 1

We are a Google Partner Agency and help companies generate leads and new business through the Google AdWords platform, and so we love observing what others are doing on the PPC Marketing front.

We Google a search term and evaluate the top 3 Google Ads as well as their landing pages for their ability to ATTRACT and CONVERT visitors.

We grade each campaign out of 10:

  • 5 Points ATTRACT: the actual Google Ad
  • 5 Points for CONVERT: the Landing Page experience
Let’s get started!

Google Ad #1
Company: JGNKitchens

AdWords Ad:
Google Ad for Kitchen Reno Oakville
The Good…
  • “Custom Made” is probably something you want to highlight in your ad, as it shows differentiation and might prevent those looking for the lowest price to click on your ad (which is what you want if in fact you’re not the lowest price)
  • Good to know they cover design and installation
The Not so Good…
  • The address is in Mississauga, but ad should indicate that they serve Oakville
  • No real call to action (such as get a quote)
Ad Score: 2.5/5
Landing Page:

kitchen reno google landing page

The Good…
  • It’s very visual, and the gallery images rotate.
The Not so Good…
  • The logo in top left is pixelated a little bit, and the slogan is cut off.
  • There is simply no information on this page, no phone number, no form to complete, no call to action – nothing but navigation links
Landing Page Score: 1/5
TOTAL ADWORDS SCORE: 3.5/10

 

Google Ad #2
Company: Kitchen for Kitchen

AdWords Ad:

oakville kitchen reno google ad

The Good…
  • Good use of Oakville in the headline
  • Keywords are in the headline, display url, and description – well done
The Not so Good…
  • Should include phone number or address
  • Not really a call to action, description doesn’t differentiate
AdWords Score: 3.5/5
Landing Page:

Oakville Kitchen Reno Landing Page

The Good…
  • A super clear call to action (is there any doubt what they want you to do?)
  • A big visual phone number and form
  • Great offer with “Get a Free Backsplash” (but they should have used that in the ad too)
  • I like the credibility building with the n49.ca and homestars reviews right on the homepage
The Not so Good…
  • Not much to dislike on this page, only issue is that I don’t see any mention of “Oakville” from my original search, and the 416 phone number tells me company is probably in Toronto
Pinnacle Design Landing Page Score: 4.5/5
TOTAL ADWORDS SCORE: 8/10

 

Google Ad #3
Company: Dream Home Creations

AdWords Ad:

Kitchen Reno Oakville AdWords Ad

The Good…
  • I like the action-oriented headline “Get Your Dream Kitchen”
  • Better call to action to book a consultation
The Not so Good…
  • No mention of Oakville
  • No phone number or address
AdWords Score: 2/5
Landing Page:

Kitchen Reno Landing Page

The Good…
  • Clear call to action to book a renovation consultation with simple form
  • Certified team since 2004 lends credibility
The Not so Good…
  • Landing page should be specific to my original search intent of “kitchen renovations”
  • I see a phone number but don’t see where business serves or is located until reading paragraph
  • A captcha is not a good idea for a landing page form, it will decrease conversion by approx. 20%
Landing Page Score: 2/5
TOTAL ADWORDS SCORE: 4/10

    Hi Robert
    Am enjoying your series on Ads and Landing pages — I have already used several of your very useful suggestions Thank you!
    Did you notice the LP of KFK ( your second example) sends us to a page showing a bathroom? But the ad was for kitchens …and there is no menu tab to the kitchen section. I would have marked them down a point or two for that oversight : )

    • Robert Reply February 16, 2016 at 2:22 pm

      Thanks Katy!

      Yeah there’s some bad ones out there. But I’m actually releasing an eBook soon that includes all the examples I’ve gathered over the past few years, stay tuned and thanks again for the comment! Robert
