When picture extensions began changing into extra extensively accessible final yr, we began testing them on a number of of our purchasers. We realized some issues that try to be conscious of.
- Picture extensions assist advert efficiency. Final fall, we added picture extensions to a private damage lawyer and tracked the influence over a few months.
In month 1, the price per conversion was 35% decrease when picture extensions have been displaying in comparison with the account statistics as an entire, and the conversion price was 48% greater.
In month 2, the associated fee per conversion was 28% decrease with picture extensions and the conversion price was 32% greater.
- Picture extensions must be recurrently monitored. As a lot as Google needs to automate Google Adverts, I regularly discover that their automations don’t examine in any respect to the attention and experience of a person. On this instance, picture #2 is clearly the winner because it converts at a better price and decrease price. Nevertheless, Google is displaying picture #1 essentially the most regardless that it has over 4x the associated fee per conversion in comparison with picture #2.
- Picture extensions are displaying now extra extensively on desktop. Once we first examined this final yr, we discovered the vast majority of the clicks on picture extensions have been taking place on cellular. For the private damage lawyer, 144/148 (97%) of the clicks on the picture extension have been on cellular gadgets. Nevertheless, that’s not true. We’re seeing circumstances now the place picture extensions are literally getting extra impressions on desktop than on cellular.
