Campaign structure determines whether you see forest or trees.
A poorly structured account? You can't see which campaigns work. You can't test variations. You can't optimize. You're flying blind. A well-structured account? You have perfect visibility and control.
The Hierarchy: Account → Campaign → Ad Group → Keyword
Each level has a purpose. Account groups your business. Campaigns isolate customer intent or products. Ad Groups contain closely related keywords. Keywords match specific searches. Each level narrows focus.

By product: separate campaigns for each major product line. By intent: "branded" campaign vs "awareness" campaign. By geography: US vs international. By audience: new customers vs repeat buyers. Pick one strategy and stick with it.
Ad Group Best Practices
Keep ad groups tight. 5–20 keywords per group is ideal. Create 3–5 distinct ads per group testing different messages. Pause underperformers ruthlessly. Tighter groups = better relevance = better Quality Score.
Naming Convention
Use consistent naming: [Product]-[Intent]-[GEO]. Example: "Shoes-Branded-US" or "Services-Comparison-EU". Descriptive names save hours of analysis.
Testing Structure
Create a separate "Testing" campaign for new keywords and ad variations. Once they prove themselves, promote them to main campaigns. This prevents bad experiments from destroying performance.

How many campaigns should I have?
Start with 3–5. More campaigns = more control but more complexity. Add campaigns as your business grows and data justifies it.
Should I have one big campaign or many small ones?
Many smaller campaigns. They allow precise control and clear attribution of performance.
How often should I reorganize my account?
Once a quarter if growing. Reorganization disrupts learning, so do it strategically and give accounts 4–6 weeks to stabilize.
What's the best naming convention?
Whatever you'll understand three months later. Be consistent. Descriptive names beat cute names.
