Why do generalised search terms outperform a long keyword list for a Tauranga manufacturer's paid search, and how many core terms should a campaign start with?
We start with a small set of core terms and test them against each other, because in recent account tests generalised terms outperformed specific ones. Competitor keywords are removed and irrelevant audiences excluded, so spend stays on terms that match a live buying need.

What changes when cost per conversion rises after a competitor enters the auction for a Tauranga manufacturer's search terms?
Auction insights show where the new entrant is winning placement, and headlines and budgets are adjusted to counter it. Cost per conversion is then checked against qualified enquiries rather than clicks, so a higher price per click is kept only where it still produces qualified leads.

Which conversion should a Tauranga manufacturer's paid search optimise on when form submissions and phone calls arrive from the same campaign?
Form submissions are tested as the conversion goal, with thank-you page tracking and call tracking through CallRail. Calls and forms are logged in one shared sheet, so one enquiry is not counted twice under two different numbers.
