19. 19. Sponsored Content Best Practices Cheat Sheet Optimizing content Always ask, why would my audience read this? Use concise and compelling headlines Include a clear call to action, regardless of the objective Make sure your landing pages are optimized for mobile traffic Managing updates Plan your editorial calendar, but also react to timely events Run 4-5 pieces of content in each live campaign Rotate a new piece of content into your account ever 2-3 weeks A/B Test with images, intro texts, and headlines Optimizing visuals Always include an image, presentation, or video Ensure the thumbnail is relevant for external links
20. 20. Text Ads Here are some tips Speak directly to your target audience through your headline and text.Include an image to grab your audiences attention. Ads with images perform significantly better than those without. Images with bright colors are more likely to catch the attention of your audience. For example, if youre targeting finance professionals, include relevant job titles or the word finance within the ad. Use industry-specific language that customers can relate to. Weve seen a 20% lift in CTR when ads include an image. Include a strong call to action, such as Try, Download, Sign up or Request a Quote. Create 3-4 variations of your ad per campaign. Test images, text, and call-to-action phrases to see what works best with your audience.Words and phrases that encourage action and urgency tend to perform well. Rotate in new creatives at least once a quarter.Double check your landing page Make sure text is concise and easy to read.Make sure your landing page (the place where someone goes when they click) matches your ad. Clearly list the benefits of your products and services.
