Mobile Advertising Optimization Check List:
- Make sure that your homepage is easy to use. Site usability is the first, and most important step in optimizing your PPC campaign; whether you are targeting desktops, tablets, or mobile devices.
- A mobile device’s small screen limit your user’s visibility; in order to drive conversions, position the site’s call-to-action to front and center.
- Example: Progressive
- Make searching through your site easy, with optimal accessibility.
- Example: This can be done by implementing a visible search box, such as an open-box site search.
- If your search bar is visible, ensure that the site’s search results are quality search results. The ultimate goal is to direct the consumer to their target on their initial search. Improve your search results by implementing effective filters.
- Example: Nike
- Allow your users the ability to purchase as a guest. By eliminating the number of forms and clicks your consumer has to fill out, you increase the chances that potential consumers will actually convert.
