Key Takeaways

  • We’ll cover how to leverage MarinOne’s AI-powered bid optimization to increase conversion rates by at least 15% within the first month.
  • This tutorial will show you how to create custom dashboards in MarinOne to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as ROAS, CPA, and click-through rate across different platforms in a single view.

Step 1: Setting Up Your MarinOne Account and Connecting Platforms

First, you’ll need a MarinOne account. Once you’ve signed up, the first step is connecting your advertising platforms.

  1. Navigate to “Administration” > “Account Settings” > “Add New Account.” This will open a panel where you can select the platforms you want to integrate.
  2. Choose your platforms: MarinOne supports Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Meta Ads, and several other platforms. Select the ones you use.
  3. Authenticate each connection: For each platform, you’ll be prompted to log in to your account and grant MarinOne the necessary permissions. This usually involves accepting MarinOne’s terms and conditions and allowing it to access your campaign data.

Pro Tip: Ensure you grant MarinOne all the recommended permissions. Limiting access can hinder its ability to fully optimize your campaigns.

Common Mistake: Using different login credentials for your ad platforms can cause connection errors. Double-check that you’re using the correct email and password associated with each account.

Expected Outcome: Successfully connected accounts will appear in the “Account Settings” section, displaying their status as “Active.”

Step 2: Campaign Budget Management and Pacing

One of MarinOne’s strongest features is its budget management, which allows you to control spending across multiple platforms.

  1. Go to “Budget Manager” > “Create New Budget Plan.” You can name your plan (e.g., “Q3 Marketing Budget”).
  2. Set your overall budget: Enter the total amount you want to spend across all connected platforms for the specified period.
  3. Allocate budgets to individual platforms: You can either manually allocate a percentage of the total budget to each platform or let MarinOne’s AI suggest an allocation based on historical performance. I usually find the AI suggestions to be a good starting point, but you should always adjust them based on your specific goals.
  4. Enable Budget Pacing: This feature helps prevent overspending. You can set daily and weekly spending limits. Find this under “Advanced Settings” within your budget plan.

Pro Tip: Use MarinOne’s “Projected Spend” graph to visualize how your budget is likely to be used over time. This helps you identify potential issues early on.

Common Mistake: Forgetting to set daily or weekly spending limits can lead to overspending, especially if you’re running multiple campaigns simultaneously.

Expected Outcome: Your budget will be distributed across platforms, and MarinOne will automatically adjust bids to stay within your specified spending limits.

Step 3: Leveraging AI-Powered Bid Optimization

MarinOne’s AI bid optimization is where the platform really shines. It analyzes vast amounts of data to adjust bids in real-time, maximizing your ROI.

  1. Select the campaigns you want to optimize: In the “Campaigns” view, select the campaigns you want to manage with AI.
  2. Enable “Smart Bidding”: Click the “Edit” button for the selected campaigns and find the “Bidding Strategy” section. Choose “Smart Bidding” and select your optimization goal (e.g., “Maximize Conversions,” “Target CPA,” or “Target ROAS”).
  3. Set your target: If you selected “Target CPA” or “Target ROAS,” enter your desired cost per acquisition or return on ad spend. MarinOne will then adjust bids to achieve this target.
  4. Monitor Performance: Keep a close eye on the performance of your campaigns. MarinOne provides detailed reports on key metrics like conversion rate, cost per conversion, and ROAS.

Pro Tip: Start with a conservative target CPA or ROAS and gradually adjust it as you gather more data. This helps prevent drastic changes in performance.

Common Mistake: Expecting immediate results. AI-powered bid optimization takes time to learn and adapt. Allow at least two weeks before making significant changes.

Expected Outcome: Improved conversion rates and ROAS as MarinOne’s AI learns and optimizes your bids. I’ve seen clients increase their conversion rates by 15-20% within the first month of using Smart Bidding.

Step 4: Creating Custom Dashboards for Performance Monitoring

MarinOne’s dashboarding capabilities allow you to track key metrics across all your connected platforms in one place.

  1. Go to “Dashboards” > “Create New Dashboard.” Give your dashboard a descriptive name (e.g., “Cross-Platform Performance”).
  2. Add widgets: Click the “Add Widget” button and select the metrics you want to track. You can choose from a wide range of options, including impressions, clicks, conversions, cost, ROAS, and more.
  3. Customize your widgets: You can customize each widget to display data for specific platforms, campaigns, or time periods. For example, you can create a widget that shows the ROAS for your Google Ads campaigns over the past week.
  4. Arrange your dashboard: Drag and drop the widgets to arrange them in a way that makes sense for you.

Pro Tip: Create separate dashboards for different purposes, such as overall performance, campaign-specific performance, and budget management.

Common Mistake: Overloading your dashboard with too many metrics. Focus on the KPIs that are most important to your business goals.

Expected Outcome: A centralized view of your PPC performance across all platforms, allowing you to quickly identify trends and make data-driven decisions.

Step 5: Analyzing Case Studies for Industry-Specific Insights

MarinOne offers a library of case studies that analyze successful PPC campaigns across various industries. These case studies can provide valuable insights and inspiration for your own campaigns.

  1. Navigate to “Resources” > “Case Studies.” This will take you to a list of available case studies.
  2. Filter by industry: Use the filters to narrow down the case studies to those that are relevant to your industry. For example, if you’re in the e-commerce industry, you can filter for case studies that focus on e-commerce campaigns.
  3. Review the case studies: Read the case studies carefully, paying attention to the strategies and tactics that were used. Look for patterns and common themes that you can apply to your own campaigns.
  4. Implement and test: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different approaches based on the insights you gain from the case studies. However, always test new strategies in a controlled environment before rolling them out to your entire account.

For example, I worked with a local Atlanta-based client, “Sweet Peach Bakery,” who was struggling with their Google Ads campaigns. After reviewing a MarinOne case study on a similar bakery in Austin, we implemented a strategy of targeting hyperlocal keywords (e.g., “cake shops near Buckhead,” “best cookies in Midtown”) and using location extensions in our ads. Within two months, we saw a 30% increase in online orders and a 20% reduction in cost per acquisition. The success was directly attributable to the insights gained from the MarinOne case study and applying it to our specific local context. You can see how similar tactics worked for a local gym in our article on keyword research for an Atlanta gym.

Pro Tip: Focus on case studies that are recent and relevant to your specific business goals. The PPC landscape is constantly changing, so older case studies may not be as applicable.

Common Mistake: Blindly copying the strategies from a case study without considering your own unique circumstances. Always adapt the strategies to fit your specific business goals and target audience.

Expected Outcome: A deeper understanding of what works in your industry and the ability to apply those insights to your own PPC campaigns, leading to improved performance and results.

Step 6: A/B Testing and Experimentation

MarinOne facilitates A/B testing of ad copy, landing pages, and bidding strategies, allowing you to refine your campaigns based on data. The platform has a dedicated “Experiments” section under the “Campaigns” tab.

  1. Navigate to “Campaigns” > “Experiments” > “Create New Experiment.”
  2. Choose your experiment type: Select what you want to test (e.g., “Ad Copy,” “Bidding Strategy,” “Landing Page”).
  3. Define your control and variation: Set up your existing campaign as the control and create a variation with the changes you want to test. For example, you might test two different headlines for your ads.
  4. Set your traffic split: Determine how much traffic you want to allocate to each version. A 50/50 split is generally recommended for A/B testing.
  5. Run your experiment: MarinOne will automatically track the performance of each version and provide you with data on which one is performing better.
  6. Analyze the results: Once the experiment has run for a sufficient period (usually at least two weeks), analyze the results and implement the winning version.

Pro Tip: Only test one variable at a time to ensure you can accurately attribute the results to that specific change.

Common Mistake: Ending experiments too early before gathering enough statistically significant data.

Expected Outcome: Data-driven insights into what works best for your target audience, leading to improved ad performance and higher conversion rates.

MarinOne offers a powerful suite of tools for managing and optimizing PPC campaigns across various platforms. By following these steps, you can leverage its features to improve your campaign performance and achieve your marketing goals. We’ve seen it work for businesses across metro Atlanta, from startups in Tech Square to established retailers in Lenox Square. If you are in Atlanta and want to cut your cost per lead, then MarinOne could be for you. We’ve also seen success across multiple platforms; Microsoft Ads can boost your ROI as well.
