Genuine question for any PPC specialists out there - when managing display/retargeting campaigns on Google, do you allow placements on tabloids like The Daily Mail and The Sun? π§

You might say "hey Matt I want to maximise exposure for my client I don't care where their ads are shown" - fair enough but I think sometimes it's important to ensure your client's brand distances itself from the kind of content those sites put out on a daily basis π
There's also the risk that @StopFundingHate pick up on your client being included here - and it becoming a bit of a talking point amongst your customers.
So why not just avoid the potential for that to happen in the first place? (ps I love what Stop Funding Hate have done!)

Hereβs a #thread on the #1 most important skillset you can learn when it comes to creating advertising copy (along with step-by-step instructions and a FREE downloadable guide). #thread π§΅
Features tell. Benefits sell. Learning to take features and articulate their benefits is the most impactful skill a marketer can have. It sounds simple enough, but in practice can be exceedingly difficult (as evidenced by how many people fail at it).
Features are technical descriptions or functionalities of a product. Benefits show how the product can solve customers' problems or meet their needs. Nobody buys a drill, they buy a hole.
In this week's video, I'll be breaking down the Quick and Dirty Truth About Every Campaign Type Inside of Google Ads.

Different campaigns yield different results. Some of them give you high visibility so you can immediately drive conversions and capture additional traffic. Others can reduce your competition and lower your costs.
While most of them have the potential to increase your businessβs profitability, sometimes there are challenges to running them.
Without proper optimization and understanding, they can end up sabotaging your business in the long run.

Google just announced an AI-driven, conversational chat experience within Google Ads meant to help advertisers build campaigns. Hereβs what we know so far.Β

The process starts with your landing page. Once provided, Google crawls the page, summarizes the content and intent, and then βwill generate relevant and effective keywords, headlines, descriptions, images, and other assets for your campaign.β
Once generated, you have the opportunity to review and edit all of the suggestions. In addition, you can βask Google AI for ideas, just like you might ask a colleague.β This gives you the opportunity to chat back and forth with Google as you iterate.
The location of your ads matter (obviously). Hereβs how you can measure and optimize your ad location in Google Ads.

Search top impression rate = Impr. (Top) % = the % of your ad impressions shown anywhere above the organic search results
Search absolute top impression rate = Impr. (Abs. Top) % = the % of your ad impressions shown as the very first ad above the organic search results
Search absolute top impression rate = Impr. (Abs. Top) % = the % of your ad impressions shown as the very first ad above the organic search results
NOTE: Donβt get either of these metrics confused with "average position" which compares your ads to the order of other ads.
Economic predictions for 2023: itβs going to be a wild ride.
Sometimes I suspect marketers have a backstage look at whatβs about to happen. Companies scale marketing before anything else. So hereβs my (ignorant) take on how this will affect the digital industry.

First off, weβre ALREADY in a recession. Automotive market is going to crash (increasing repos, used prices are dipping). Housing market has been declining for 10 months straight, limited inventory has propped up prices but I think those will crash as soon as spring hits.
For marketers β ad spend is going to contract (β¦IS contracting, for anyone who has paid attention lately). The fat will be trimmed. And only the most efficient and profitable channels will be kept. How will this affect agencies, freelancers, in-house marketers? Hereβs how:
Why you MUST run brand campaigns: a Google Ads thread I didn't expect to write about bidding on your own brand name.

A fellow reached out to me on Reddit for advice on getting his account unbanned. I probed, and it turns out his entire business model is cloning little-known ecommerce brands and bidding on their brand names. #ppcchat
He says it's insanely profitable, because small ecommerce brand names are so cheap and they rarely bid on them. He says he used to keep a site up for 2+ months but lately suspensions are almost immediate (thanks, Google Ads).

Just make sure your video matches up with your PMax theme.

Second disclaimer: There is a distinct difference between best practices and simply different ways of doing things. I try to find reasoning behind choices. The client may have requested things, etc. So I'm never harsh with my report. There's lots of unknowns.
Set a date range you keep consistent the whole time and fix your columns. This particular account has only been live since April so I'm using up until May 30th.
I also fix my columns: impr, clicks, ctr, avg cpc, cost, conv, conv rate, S-IS metrics, analytics metrics.

A3: Always - but as with anything, it's a cost/benefit analysis. It's a question of understanding what channels are contributing positively to the business, as well as the risk profiles associated with each. I expect October/November to be pretty bad + BF/CM to be $$$$ #ppcchat
A3.1: I think I have the most direct concern with the FB/IG + Twitter ecosystems; but the most indirect/2nd order concern with Google, Snap + YT.
Basically I think some advertisers are going to run from FB/IG/TW, but that $ needs to go somewhere.
#ppcchat
Basically I think some advertisers are going to run from FB/IG/TW, but that $ needs to go somewhere.
#ppcchat
A3.2: The most logical place for it to go is G, YT + Snap/TikTok* - so the economics of those platforms could get hit pretty hard, which creates a really interesting (read: awful) situation for brands between advertising in hell (i.e. FB/IG/TW) and doing nothing #ppcchat
A2.1: Always write a job description, knowing full-well that you might end up revising it. People involved are (a) peers (i.e. what do you do every day? what should this person be able to do in order to work successfully with you? what is missing from our current list?)
#PPCChat
#PPCChat
A2.2: Direct Managers (i.e. what should this person be doing? what capacity is lacking in current team members? what special expertise do you wish we had?) + Senior Team (i.e. how does this position fit long-term w/ our growth goals?)
#ppcchat
#ppcchat
A2.3: We view every hire as a long-term investment - so we do a lot of work to find the right person. It's never an easy balance to strike between immediate needs, potential gaps + long-term direction, but it's better (IMO) to get clarity from everyone up front.
#PPCChat
#PPCChat
A2: B2B tends to be a much longer, much less linear and much more emotional process - this isn't a quick thing that you can forget; it's something that's likely going to be a core part of your life/work for years (and can be career-ending for some people). 1/x #ppcchat
A2.1: We invest a ton of time into building budget models + projections (it's a long-term game - gotta set expectations + identify milestones) understanding our audience, creating relevant content, meticulously targeting every aspect of the campaigns, etc. 2/x #ppcchat
A2.2: B2B is one area where (IMO) you need to be brilliant at the basics + buttoned-up in your strategy + structure. B2C mistakes can cost you $5 a click (bad, but not outrageous); B2B mistakes in competitive spaces cost you $100 or $200. Much bigger ouch. 3/x #ppcchat

Mikeβs notes (attached here) on the DeepMind truthful auction model is, IMO, one of the most crucial things in his article for us in PPC to take notice of: linkedin.com/pulse/would-goβ¦ #ppcchat
2/ That is, Google is trying to build an auction in which one entity controls every bidding aspect, and thus the auction structure itself becomes the entity. That entity then, is what Google will work to defend, to survive. #ppcchat
3/ This means making bidding decisions in an individual account, that is not necessarily aligned with the business objectives of that individual account, but of the group as a whole. The entity. #ppcchat
