When you run Google Ads

Or any digital marketing channel

It must ACTUALLY be set properly

You need to do the foundations FIRST

But some of you do a critical mistake I'll explain now

THREAD i get it

you want more new customers with less spend

but then why do 99% of brands I audit have no actual strategy/optimization routine for their ads?

it's almost like they expect their in-house🦄 employee to do it all better than a true expert can

what do they do wrong?

why you can't scale search to $1,000+/day in spend profitably

***THREAD***

if you can't scale search ads, you're not a real PPC media buyer

this is my (proven) framework: since search is driven by the demand of what you're targeting...

all you have to do is pump your ads to show on searches that showcase your solution to the searcher's problem

(it's that simple)

honestly, I don't know why people mess this up

so how do we do this?

simplicity simplicity simplicity

(the 🔑 to success w/ Google Ads)

it's how I made $769,056 in revenue over the last 90 days for this brand

(with only $75k in spend btw)

here's how I did it with simplicity

//Google Ads Thread// Image I audit new accounts nearly EVERY DAY

and I'm smacked in the face nearly EVERY TIME by way too many campaigns for the amount of spend

you don't need to have 10s of campaigns

(or even 100s 😨)

so what was the account structure like for this brand?
