Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of digital marketing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can be helpful but it's not a strict requirement.
Keyword bidding involves choosing keywords relevant to your product or service and setting a bid, or the amount you are willing to pay per click, for these keywords. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Identifying Keywords
Identifying the right keywords is crucial for the success of your campaign. Consider your product or service, your target audience, and what search terms they might use.
Step 2: Keyword Grouping
Group your keywords into related clusters. This makes it easier to manage your keywords and set your bids.
Step 3: Setting a Bid
Set a bid for your keywords based on factors like the competition for the keyword, its relevance to your business, and your marketing budget.
Step 4: Monitor and Adjust
Regularly monitor the performance of your keywords and adjust your bids as needed.
While there's no specific code for keyword bidding as it's mainly done through platforms like Google Ads, you can use Google's Keyword Planner tool to research keywords. Here's an example of how to use Google's Keyword Planner:
from googleads import adwords
# Initialize the AdWords client.
adwords_client = adwords.AdWordsClient.LoadFromStorage()
# Initialize appropriate service.
targeting_idea_service = adwords_client.GetService('TargetingIdeaService', version='v201809')
# Construct selector object and retrieve related keywords.
selector = {
'searchParameters': [{
'xsi_type': 'RelatedToQuerySearchParameter',
'queries': ['keyword 1', 'keyword 2']
}],
'ideaType': 'KEYWORD',
'requestType': 'IDEAS',
'requestedAttributeTypes': ['KEYWORD_TEXT', 'SEARCH_VOLUME', 'CATEGORY_PRODUCTS_AND_SERVICES'],
'paging': {
'startIndex': '0',
'numberResults': '25'
}
}
page = targeting_idea_service.get(selector)
