    For best results, we recommend you to follow these tips:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Try to select specific and minimum two-words keywords describing your offering.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • If you offer very varied services or products, try to group them in separate campaigns<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Example:<\/span><\/p>\n

      You sell healthy dog & cat food online. Create one campaign with a focus dog and another for cats.<\/span><\/p>

        As a second step, Instaon will provide you with a batch of 30 really different keywords. The idea is to understand your business scope and feed Instaon’s artificial intelligence. Select all keywords that are related to your business and on which you would like to appear.<\/p>

        Don’t be afraid if you see irrelevant keywords, just skip them. In average, you should select 10ish of them.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        Here’s where the magic happens. Instaon provides you a final selection of search keywords based on your business, Instaon’s learning data of similar businesses and budget. You can find your keywords tree by going to your ‘campaign settings’.<\/p>

        Search keywords will be grouped into keywords Groups to make your selection easier.<\/span><\/p>

        Example<\/span>:<\/p>

        Keyword Group : Dog meals<\/span><\/p>

        • Keywords in family : healthy dog meals, dog meals recipes, dog meals for puppies, dog meals with meat, fresh dog meals, etc.<\/li><\/ul>
          Again, make sure to select only relevant keywords on which you would like to appear. If your dog meals are vegan only, you might want to unselect ‘dog meals with meat’<\/div>

          After selection, Instaon will create everything automatically. From your ads setup with your search keywords to the list of negative keywords to avoid budget waste.<\/p>

          If by any malchance, the magic didn’t happen and there are no keywords in your tree or you would like other final keywords, you can always click on “Reset campaign keywords”.<\/span><\/p>

          The reset option should only be done when setting up a new campaign.\u00a0We highly discourage users to reset a running campaign.<\/span>\u00a0Campaigns are being optimised daily by Instaon and resetting them would bring all optimisations back to zero.<\/p>
