# BluePoint NY Compliance — Google Ads Strategy

## Overview

Search campaign targeting high-intent queries around New York's cash acceptance law. The goal is to capture business owners and operators actively searching for compliance information and drive them to a dedicated landing page to download the Compliance Guide.

This campaign runs alongside a LinkedIn effort (see [[wiki/knowledge/linkedin-ads/bluepoint-ny-compliance-linkedin-strategy]]) and an organic blog post, forming a multi-channel push ahead of the March 20, 2026 deadline.

## Campaign Settings

| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| **Target Geography** | New York State only |
| **Daily Budget Cap** | $30/day (first month) |
| **Landing Page** | Dedicated NY compliance landing page (see [[wiki/clients/bluepoint-atm/campaigns/ny-compliance-landing-page]]) |
| **Campaign Type** | Search (responsive search ads) |

> **Note on budget pacing:** Google may not spend the full $30/day if search volume for the targeted keywords is insufficient or if competing bids are low. The $30 cap is a ceiling, not a floor.

## Ad Content

### Headlines

Google's responsive search ad format allows up to 15 headlines. Google automatically tests combinations to find what performs best — **no ranking is required**. The team agreed to provide **10–15 headline options** to give the algorithm enough variation.

**Action item (BluePoint):** Review the existing headlines in the campaign doc and add options to reach 10–15 total. Suggested themes:
- Urgency / deadline (e.g., "March 20, 2026 Deadline")
- Law name / compliance framing (e.g., "NY Cash Acceptance Law Compliance")
- Solution framing (e.g., "Stay Compliant with a Reverse ATM")
- Question format (e.g., "Is Your Business Ready for NY's Cash Law?")

### Descriptions

Up to 5 descriptions can be provided; best practice is **2–3 minimum** so Google can test combinations with different headlines.

**Action item (BluePoint):** Add 1–2 additional descriptions beyond the existing one. Keep them focused on the compliance deadline and the guide download CTA.

## Keyword Strategy

Keywords are organized into three match types to balance precision and reach:

### Exact Match `[keyword]`
Highest bid priority. Targets users searching the precise phrase. Used for the most clearly intent-signaling queries (e.g., `[New York cash acceptance law compliance]`).

### Phrase Match `"keyword"`
Mid-tier priority. Captures close variants, misspellings, and related phrasings (e.g., "NY cash law compliance deadline"). Broader than exact but still directional.

### Broad Match
Lowest bid priority. Catches semantically related searches that may indicate intent without matching the exact phrase. Useful for discovery during the learning phase.

**Action item (BluePoint):** Review the existing keyword list in the campaign doc and expand it across all three match types. Avoid narrowing to only 2–3 keywords — insufficient volume will prevent the campaign from spending.

> **Learning phase:** New campaigns require 1–2 weeks for Google's algorithm to optimize. After that, AAG will review performance data, prune underperforming keywords, and incorporate Google's suggestions for new terms.

## Landing Page

All ad clicks route to the dedicated NY compliance landing page — the same destination used for LinkedIn ads. This ensures:

1. **Conversion focus:** The page is built around a single CTA (form fill to download the Compliance Guide), not the main BluePoint website.
2. **Message match:** Ad copy and landing page copy align around the compliance deadline.
3. **Trackability:** A dedicated CallRail number (607 area code) on the page allows call attribution separate from organic traffic.

## Blog / Organic Layer

A companion blog post was published the same day as this call. It targets the same keyword themes organically, capturing users who skip sponsored results. The blog provides longer-form content and builds SEO equity on the BluePoint site over time.

The blog and the paid campaign are complementary — not redundant. Paid captures high-intent searchers immediately; organic builds durable visibility.
