Today, **SEA optimisation** is one of the key success factors for not only being visible in the digital competition, but also for targeting interested parties and sustainably increasing sales. Many companies know that simply placing adverts is not enough - a well thought-out strategy is required that makes optimum use of the opportunities offered by search engine advertising and is continuously adapted at the same time. Especially in industries with tough competition and changing market conditions, SEA optimisation therefore plays an important role in achieving a lasting competitive advantage.
SEA optimisation: basics with practical relevance
The core of SEA optimisation lies in the targeted selection of relevant keywords. This allows you to reach precisely those users who are actively searching for specific products or services. In e-commerce, for example, retailers benefit when keywords are precisely matched to their product range and the adverts stand out with convincing texts. An online shop for outdoor clothing, for example, not only optimises for terms such as „hiking jacket“, but also adds targeted long-tail keywords such as „waterproof hiking jacket for women“ in order to appeal to specific buyers. The ad text is formulated in such a way that it clearly emphasises the benefits the customer receives - such as breathability or robust material.
In tourism, SEA optimisation is just as effective when tour operators and hotels adapt their campaigns to seasonal trends and regional characteristics. A hotel on the North Sea can tailor its ad times and keywords to the main holiday periods and local events in order to reach potential guests at exactly the right time. In the service sector, for example in the case of craft businesses, localisation is often particularly important. Tradespeople in Berlin optimise their search ads with district names and trade services such as „tiler Kreuzberg“ in order to efficiently control their reach.
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) In the healthcare sector, iROI-Coaching supported the strategic SEA optimisation of a medium-sized clinic. Through targeted keyword research and the introduction of performance campaigns, we were able to increase bookings for specialised treatments by 30 %. Simultaneous adjustments to the landing pages resulted in lower bounce rates and significantly better conversion rates.
Effective strategies and tools for your success
Successful SEA optimisation requires more than just basic work with keywords. Modern campaigns utilise smart algorithms and machine learning, such as Google Ads Performance Max campaigns, which automatically select the best combinations of ad texts, target groups and placements. This constantly improves campaign performance - an option that many retailers and service providers are already using successfully.
Not only the keyword selection, but also the quality of the ad copy influences the click rate and ultimately the success. It helps to pick up potential customers exactly where they are in the purchasing decision process. For example, an electronics retailer can use banners and texts to specifically address technical details and warranty services, while a fashion retailer focuses more on trends and inspiration. Regular A/B tests are essential to find out which messages and formats actually have an impact.
In addition, landing page optimisation is an indispensable adjustment screw. A landing page must fit the advert perfectly and immediately provide relevant information to lead users to the desired action. Retailers from the furniture sector, for example, reported that the conversion rate increased by up to 20 % by adapting product pages to the advert messages. Answers to customer questions, quick ordering options or contact forms without distractions are essential.

By consistently targeting users from the immediate neighbourhood and integrating seasonal service offers, the number of order enquiries increased significantly.
The role of data-driven adjustments in SEA optimisation
Success in SEA optimisation is closely linked to continuous monitoring. Only those who analyse data and learn from weaknesses can improve their position. Regular reports show click behaviour, conversion rates and the performance of individual keywords. This provides important information for bid adjustments and budget allocation between campaigns. Companies from the B2B sector often report that the targeted use of search engine advertising generates leads with less wastage because it is constantly optimised.
The use of scripts or automation in campaign management also saves time and increases the speed of response to market changes. An online marketplace for household appliances tested various bidding strategies and significantly reduced costs per conversion as a result.
