Wanted to share with you a technique that's paying off for me brilliantly, for my Brand Search campaigns. I could see an increase in CTR with 30-40% after implementing this.

The brilliance of using sitelinks (see the example of TripAdvisor):

- write 8-9 sitelinks and include them in your search campaigns. Google will rotate them and show only the good performing ones in the end
- if u don't have that many pages to link to, put as sitelinks you social media URLs (Fb, Tw, Yb, ...)
- necessarily include description to each sitelink (see also in below example). Try maximising the number of keyword in each description. Your ad will look massive comapring to the rest.
- add a different utm tag in the url, so u can track their individual performance (depending on your KPIs)


Cheers!

    Also guys, if u have Google+ profile for your brand, link it to your adwords account as it offers social proof straight on your ads (see the tripadvisor screenshot for example).

    If you don't have G+, create one immediately, as it offers also SEO value! Which (at least to me) is damn logical, since Google is pushing everyone to use G+ and will weight that when it comes to SEO rankings.

    Here are also two interesting articles from Social Media Today i could remember of reading a while back about G+ and it's SEO impact:
