Google Ads  /  campaign build plan

Campaign build plan: Family Ties and Knott's Landing

The full advertising build for both homes: account structure, targeting, every keyword and negative, the ad copy assets for each home, extensions, and the rollout. This is the blueprint we build from once the account is set up.

01

Account structure and shared settings

One dedicated account, one campaign per home. Both campaigns share the same targeting and negative list; they differ only in their website, tracking number, and ad copy. Google serves one ad per account per search, so the two homes never bid against each other.

SettingValueWhy
Campaign typeSearch only (Search partners OFF, Display expansion OFF)Highest intent; no wasted display impressions on a lean budget
Budget$10/day per campaign ($20/day total, ~$600/mo)Even 50/50 split across the two homes
BiddingMaximize Clicks with a ~$6 to $7 max CPC cap to startSwitch to Maximize Conversions once call/form tracking has data
LocationsBuena Park + ~10 mi: Anaheim, Fullerton, Cypress, La Palma, Garden Grove, Stanton, CerritosSenior care is hyper-local
Location optionPresence: people in or regularly in these areasNot "interest", which would waste budget on out-of-area searchers
LanguagesEnglish + SpanishLarge Spanish-speaking family base in the area
Ad scheduleAll week, with a light bid bump for business hours to startFamilies research evenings and weekends; refine once data comes in
Match typesPhrase and Exact onlyBroad match would burn a lean budget; keep it tight
02

Keywords (shared across both homes)

Two ad groups per campaign. Same keywords in each home's campaign; only the ads and landing pages differ.

Ad groupKeywords (phrase / exact)
Core Local Intentassisted living Buena Park · board and care Buena Park · residential care home for elderly Buena Park · care home for elderly Buena Park · senior care home Buena Park · small assisted living home Buena Park · 6 bed care home Buena Park
ALW / Medi-Calassisted living that accepts Medi-Cal · Medi-Cal assisted living Buena Park · ALW assisted living Orange County · assisted living waiver facility near me · assisted living that takes the waiver Buena Park
The ALW / Medi-Cal ad group is the sharp edge. These searches are high intent and far less contested than the generic terms, and both homes accept the waiver. Expect the cheapest, best-fit clicks here.

04

Negative keywords (both campaigns)

These keep the budget on families and off job seekers and facility operators. The opposite of a B2B list.

ExcludeReason
jobs, hiring, careers, salary, caregiver payJob seekers, not families
how to open, how to start, license, licensing, rcfe license, certification, training, course, classesFacility operators, not families
free, grants, volunteerNo commercial intent
independent living, apartments, nursing home, hospiceDifferent care type, wrong fit
real estate, for saleProperty searches, not care searches
05

Tracking and assets we still need

Conversion tracking (required before launch)

Assets to collect from Kam

Note on scale. At ~$10/day per home against Orange County click prices, expect roughly 1 to 3 clicks per home per day. This is a steady, qualified trickle, not a flood. Judge it on tour requests over a few weeks, not on day-one volume.
06

Rollout

Phase 1
Before launch: Kam creates the ad account (billing in his name) and grants access; we get WordPress admin access and apply the fixes; wire call + form tracking; claim both Google Business Profiles; set up per-home tracking numbers.
Phase 2
Build: we build both campaigns from this plan, paused, and set campaign-level conversion goals. You review, then we enable.
Phase 3
Optimize: add real photos, tune keywords and schedule on real data, and layer in Performance Max or Local once the profiles and tracking are seasoned.
