The lever paid search people didn't know they needed. Sure you can run feed only PMax. We are seeing great results when adding assets. PMax has 3 levers:
1⃣Feed
2⃣Creative
3⃣Signals
How do we think about creative with PMax? 🧵 #ppcchat
If you are already running paid social ads... look at what you can repurpose and use with your PMax (and Discovery ads).
Use the tips below to kickstart your PMax journey. Let's not reinvent the wheel here. Leverage what you already got access to.
1. Video Does Not Needs To Be Professionals 📹
Raw and real is usually better then anything done in a studio. Grab your latest iPhone/Android and show product unboxing or other product experiences.
Just make sure your video matches up with your PMax theme.
2. Ad Copy Around Pain Points ✍️🏿
Though not creative in the video and images POV. You can have your ad copy themed based on pain points your product solves.
Then match up keyword and audience signals based on those pain points. Alignment even in ad copy is critical.
3. Images Can Be All About Product Usage
Since images can show on Discovery and other places. Think about showing off a product in different use cases, which can align with your signals and ad copy above.
4. Think of Creative As a Bid Strategy
Stay with me here. If you pick the wrong bid strategy, a campaign can fail. Same thing happens with creative. The wrong creative or even ad copy that limit your success. Creative is a lever.
4. continues...
Don’t delete the assets with ‘’low’’ ratings without replacing them with something new. You want to be testing your creative (images and video) as much as you need to. Otherwise you limit your success.
Your shopping feed & campaign set up with only do so much.
5. Asset Report - Combination
Should be your BBF to see what is potentially working. Then ask yourself...
How Do I Create More Of That Creative?
Lean into what is working.
If G does get us an Audience Asset Report later this year. That could change the game if we can tie...
... audience, assets and conversions into one report. I'm calling this my super sized Item ID Report.
Better reporting will come to PMax. It just won't be the type of reporting that we had in the past when we were button pushers.

2020 was a crazy year but there is room to grow and scale shopping ads for many brands.🚀
After working on more shopping ad audits then you can shake a stick at. Here are 8 areas that brands need to work on if you can not scale or hit ROAS goals. 🥅
1⃣Undervalue Shopping Feeds
No matter how much Google says it. Brands & agencies continue to not touch the shopping feed. It's boring and painful work but it's the work your competitors won't do.
You can not campaign structure your way out of a sub-par shopping feed.
If your agency or internal team is not working on your shopping feed. Find someone else to work on it.
Working on your shopping feed is like going to sports practise. You can not always correlate the value of that work. Come game day, you will be glad you did practise. 🏀
Scaling FB ad accounts with product launches (aka drops) like sneaker brands. Something I hinted about in the summer.
Lessons learned after 8 months of reorganizing 4 brands to rethink their product launch strategy. 🧵
Axis is broken out weekly for one client.
Pre-2020: A lot of clients use to waiting for 3 - 5 products to enter the warehouse and then do a "collection" drop. No different then most fashion brands.
2020: Launch products as they come in, since we don't know what will get delayed due to COVID. Making each product shine.
1⃣Launch Coming Soon FB Ads
Leading indicating if we need to restock a product or not.
These ads were either a hit & drove sales and thus the product launch was a huge success. Or the ads didn't drive sales and it was just an ok product launch.
Everything I learned over the last 4 years going from 1 to a 6 person team. Save yourself time, learn from my lessons, mistakes & duh moves ... 😳
Have a question? 🤔
Ask me anything 🖖
The value you deliver (i.e. your services) needs to exceed what you are charging.
The cost is just what you charge someone. The higher value you deliver, the more someone feels they got a "deal". Talking about money should not be taboo.
Thread: Google Ads Scripts that help you with automation & other tasks to scale work and make more 💵money!
Here is our 7 favourite scripts 👇 ... for each RT, I'll add another script to list for fun. #ppcchat#MarketingTwitter
One note: Learning to install scripts is a skill y'all should learn. Can take a few tries to get a script working but worth it. My first script in 2013 took 3 tries to work.
Scripts nerds 🤓 unit. Now on with the show.
1. Negative Keyword Conflict
Tells you when there is a conflict between keywords you are bidding on and those in your campaign/ad group negative keywords (or even in negative keyword lists). Great for accounts of any size.
