  4. Recap

Slide 3 – Google Ad Strategy

Slide 4 – Google ads and unapproved CBD products

  • Currently, CBD is on Google’s unapproved pharmaceuticals and supplements list in their Advertising Policy
  • Google removes most CBD ads in less than two weeks. They may also:
    • Flag your billing information
    • Permanently suspend your account
    • Flag your domain to prevent you from advertising CBD with a new account

Slide 5 – So what can you do?

  • To combat the stringent advertising rules, and protect your account and website, focus on running top-of-funnel advertising
  • The goal is driving email sign-ups, then sending transactional email drip campaigns to sell your products

Slide 6 – Google ad Do’s and Don’ts 6

Do

  • Use brand-centric messaging
  • Use dedicated landing page with different domain name as main website (ex. Instapage)
  • Drive traffic to gain email leads

Don’t

  • Mention cannabinoid, cannabidiol, CBD
  • Mention full spectrum or THC
  • Ads promoting specific CBD products
  • Mention medical claims (ex. good for dry skin, headaches, etc)

Slide 7 – Paid Social Ad Strategy

Slide 8 – Using paid social ads

  • Create an email-based lookalike audience list of your most engaged customers
  • Focus on lead generation ads with educational content about CBD without mentioning by name

Slide 9 – Using paid social ads (Con’t)

  • Create landing pages with educational content that touches the topic, and includes expandable related product lists below the fold
  • Create a new funnel with these captured emails, & leverage transactional drip sequences to retarget visitors with CBD-specific content
    • PRO-TIP: While your LinkedIn ad can direct to pages that feature topical CBD and ingestible hemp, your Facebook ad can only feature topical products

Slide 10 – Target audiences in LinkedIn by groups and interests

  • LinkedIn provides audiences in the health and wellness space who may resonate with CBD as a therapy for their patients or as part of their consultations
  • Targeting these audiences with long-form editorial messaging can create a network of advocates
  • You can also leverage Lead Ads to compile an email list you can market to directly through drip campaigns

Lookalike audiences are identified using an existing Matched Audiences segment, such as:

  • Website audiences
  • Video ad audiences
  • Lead-gen form audiences
