The most expensive mistake is bidding on the wrong keywords. Many consultancies target broad keywords like “study abroad”, which attract browsers, not serious students [1].
Money-Wasting Keywords
High-ROI Keywords
Use Negative Keywords
Add negative keywords to prevent your ads from showing for irrelevant searches. For example: “free,” “DIY,” “jobs,” “salary.” This alone can reduce wasted spend by 15-20% [2].
Sending Google Ads traffic to your homepage is like paying for a billboard that points to a random door. You need dedicated landing pages for each campaign [4].
Homepage vs Landing Page
Homepage conversion rate: 1-2% (too many distractions, no focused CTA)
Dedicated landing page conversion rate: 5-8% (focused message, clear form, relevant content)
That’s a 3-4x improvement just by creating proper landing pages! Conversion rate optimisation makes all the difference.
Without tracking, you have no idea which keywords, ads, and campaigns are generating actual student inquiries. You’re essentially throwing money and hoping something sticks.

76% of advertisers don’t track properly
200% ROI improvement with proper tracking
Generic ad copy like “Best Education Consultancy, Contact Us Today” doesn’t stand out. Your ads need specific, compelling copy that speaks directly to student needs.
Bad Ad Copy
“Best Education Consultancy in Nepal. We help students study abroad. Contact us today for more information.”
Good Ad Copy
“Study in Australia from Nepal — 98% Visa Success Rate | Free Consultation ✓ 500+ Students Placed ✓ IELTS Help Included | Book Your Free Session Today”
Fix Checklist:
Queens Digital Agency’s PPC team optimises your Google Ads for maximum ROI.
Check your Search Terms report in Google Ads. If you see irrelevant search queries triggering your ads, you’re wasting money. Also, check if you have conversion tracking set up — if not, you can’t measure ROI.
You can, but without expertise, you’ll likely waste 30-50% of your budget. Professional Google Ads management typically pays for itself through reduced waste and higher conversion rates.
Aim for a Quality Score of 7+ out of 10. Below 5 means Google considers your ads and landing pages low quality, and you’ll pay more per click.
