Google Ads for Broker Promotion

Google Ads for Broker Promotion

Paid search can deliver FTDs within days, but requires careful management.

Campaign Structure

Campaign 1: Branded Terms

  • Keywords: "[broker name]", "[broker] review", "[broker] login"

  • Intent: Very high — people already know the broker

  • CPC: $1-5

  • Conversion rate: 5-15%
  • Campaign 2: Comparison Terms

  • Keywords: "[broker A] vs [broker B]", "best forex broker"

  • Intent: High — comparing options

  • CPC: $3-10

  • Conversion rate: 2-5%
  • Campaign 3: Generic Terms

  • Keywords: "forex trading", "trade forex online"

  • Intent: Medium — need more convincing

  • CPC: $2-8

  • Conversion rate: 0.5-2%
  • Landing Pages

    Never send ad traffic to your homepage. Create dedicated landing pages:

  • Clear headline matching the search query

  • Broker comparison table

  • CTA button above the fold

  • Risk disclaimer

  • Social proof (testimonials, ratings)
  • Budget Allocation

    Start with $500-1,000/month:

  • 50% on branded terms (highest ROI)

  • 30% on comparison terms

  • 20% on generic terms (testing)
  • Compliance

  • Google requires financial services advertiser verification

  • Include risk warnings in ad copy

  • Landing page must have risk disclosure

  • No guaranteed profit claims in ads
  • ROI Calculation

    If CPA rate is $500 and your cost per conversion is $100:

  • ROI = ($500 - $100) / $100 = 400%
  • That's $400 profit per FTD. Track religiously.
