How to Build Google Ads Campaigns with Multiple Ad Groups

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Sparkforge's Ad Manager supports Google Ads campaigns with up to 10 ad groups and 3 ads per group. Each group sets its own keywords, match types, and base URL — and reporting drills down to the keyword level.

Sparkforge's Ad Manager lets you build a Google Ads campaign with up to 10 ad groups, each holding up to 3 ads. Each ad group targets its own keyword set or audience segment with its own base URL, so a single campaign can cover multiple products, services, or audiences without splitting it across campaigns.

What You Get

  • Up to 10 ad groups per campaign
  • Up to 3 ads per ad group for structured A/B testing
  • Per-ad-group base URL for consistent display paths
  • Keyword suggestions and match-type selection (Phrase, Exact, Broad)
  • Reporting at campaign, ad group, ad, and keyword levels
  • Duplicate, delete, or add groups via the ellipsis (⋮) menu
  • Review screen to preview the full setup before publishing

How to Build a Multi-Ad-Group Campaign

  1. Start the campaign. Open Ad Manager and create a new campaign or pick a pre-built template.
  2. Set campaign-level settings. Define bid strategy, daily budget, and audience or network preferences.
  3. Configure each ad group. Enter a base URL to seed keyword suggestions, pick keywords with match types, and add up to 3 ads. Use the ellipsis menu to duplicate, delete, or add groups.
  4. Configure each ad. Add up to 15 headlines, 4 descriptions, and a display URL.
  5. Review and publish. Use the Review screen to check structure across all groups and ads, then click Publish.
  6. Track performance. In Ad Manager Statistics, click a campaign name to drill into ad-group, ad, and keyword stats.

Campaign Structure

The flow separates into three clear levels:

  • Campaign — budget, bidding strategy, target audience.
  • Ad Group — keyword targeting and base URL.
  • Ad — headlines, descriptions, display path.

This split makes A/B testing cleaner and reporting more actionable, especially if you're managing multiple clients or product lines.
