Hello! I set up my account the following way: Three different campaigns for each company. One ad group for every product and one ad group for general keywords (for all three companies). However my ads won't show cause I've got more than one ad group for the specific keywords. This because two of the companies have almost identical products and thus identical keywords. I want to keep the campaigns split up so I can manage the budget for each company and if possible - for the ads of both companies to show at the same time. Anyone got a smart solution to this? Thanks in advance, Marcus
No smart solution, but you could set different times of the day for the ads to show or limit the budget so once the bugdet for Campaign A is used up, Campaign B takes over. If they need to be displayed at the same time, you could use multiple accounts via a MCC (My Client Center) but don't violate Google's double serving policy or they will all be gone.
Because you have the same keywords in all three campaigns in the same account, only one of the ads can show at one time. No way around this. I would not recommend multiple accounts. The different times of day scenario is the closest you'll get.
Try running the 3 different campaigns in different networks. For example, one campaign is search, the other is in the content network, and the 3rd is in site placement. then you can run all three at the same time Greg
