Enhanced Prompt:

Title:
"Optimizing Google Ads for Education: A Device-Specific Targeting Strategy"

Objective:
To create a comprehensive, data-driven, and scalable Google Ads campaign for education that effectively targets users across mobile and desktop devices, ensuring maximum engagement, conversions, and return on investment (ROI). The strategy should incorporate best practices, address potential challenges, and provide actionable recommendations for optimizing device-specific targeting.

Scope:
This project focuses on developing and implementing a device-specific targeting strategy for Google Ads in the education sector. The strategy will be applied to both mobile and desktop devices, with a focus on understanding user behavior, optimizing targeting models, and ensuring balanced budget allocation across devices. The solution should be scalable and maintainable for long-term use.

Deliverables:

1. Device-Specific Targeting Analysis Report:

   • A detailed analysis of user behavior across mobile and desktop devices.
   • Identification of key device-specific metrics (e.g., device ID, OS version, screen resolution, user engagement).

2. Targeting Strategy Document:

   • A structured targeting strategy that prioritizes mobile and desktop devices.
   • Recommendations for audience segmentation, affinity-based targeting, and interest-based targeting.

3. Device-Specific Campaign Setup:

   • Configuration of Google Ads campaigns for mobile and desktop devices.
   • Implementation of device- and affinity-based targeting, including device ID masking and OS version targeting.

4. Performance Tracking and Reporting:

   • A post-campaign report detailing key metrics (e.g., CTR, conversion rate, cost per lead, ROAS).
   • Recommendations for optimizing targeting models and adjusting bid prices.

Best Practices:

• Use Google Analytics to track and analyze device-specific user behavior.
• Implement A/B testing for targeting models and ad creatives.
• Adhere to privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) when targeting user devices.
• Monitor and optimize for device compatibility and performance.

Technical Considerations:

• Device Identification: Use device ID fields (e.g., Device ID - Mobile, Device ID - PC) for precise targeting.
• Operating System and Browser Version: Target specific OS versions (e.g., iOS 14+) and browser versions (e.g., Chrome 90).
• Screen Resolution and Orientation: Set custom dimensions for mobile (e.g., 600
