Competitor Research and Keyword Analysis

While creating a new campaign or fine tuning an existing campaign you should check what your competitors are doing. You can use tools like SpyFu, Wordstream to dig the keywords used by your competitors. Though it’s not 100% accurate, you will definitely get a lot more insight and new keyword ideas from your competitors existing campaigns.

With Google dynamic search ads you can reach customers without manually creating ads and target keywords. Google uses your landing page to create dynamic ads based on the identified keywords in the landing page. Google’s algorithm decides whether to show your ad for a certain keyword when a users searches in Google. The target keywords are decided by Google based on your target landing page. Now, you may think, how this will be useful for your keyword research. Well, here’s the deal, adwords provides the keywords (search queries) for which your ads are shown.
