Your Google Ads Look Great — Here's Why They're Failing

Your Google Ads dashboard says everything is working. Leads are coming in, CPA looks solid, volume is up. But the business is telling a different story. In this podcast, I break down what's actually happening when an account "drifts" — where Google quietly shifts your budget toward cheap, low-intent traffic that converts on paper but never turns into real customers. I'll walk you through the exact scenario where I caught this happening, why it's so hard to spot, and the 3-step Drift Control System I use to detect it early, contain the damage, and retrain the account before it spirals.
