Show Notes:
In this episode, the guys are answering some questions from listeners about close variants, geo keywords, seeing your clients' ads in the search engine, optimizing for first-page bids, and audience campaigns.
(2:57) Q: If Google is already showing my ads for close variants of a keyword, what's the benefit of adding it as a keyword inside an ad group?
A: The reason I like to add keywords and not just rely on close variants is that I like the opportunity to make decisions for myself about if this is important to me. There are special opportunities you can take on. - Chris
(8:16) Q: If I'm targeting a specific location and my service keywords are triggering for anyone searching that search term from my chosen location, is there any benefit in adding geo keywords?
A: 100% yes, you should add geo keywords as their own keywords. - Jason
(11:22) Q: I've been having issues getting client ads to show up. I know it's a bad idea to search for client ads, but there are times when I want to physically test something with tracking or just see an ad.
A: Use the Ad Preview and Diagnosis tool. It simulates a Google result for keywords in specific locations. - Chris
I look at my Google Ads account and through the data, I can see what’s happening. - Jason
(24:19) Q: I'm only using manual CPC in my campaigns when I see a keyword that is below the first-page bid, I wonder if I should optimize my keywords to be on the first page or not.
A: The idea of a first-page bid is a misunderstood concept. It just means you’re below the standard for the first-page keyword, so expect lower traffic than if you bid more. I never think about 1st page or 2nd page, I just look at the data. - Jason
(33:40) Q: We were talking with an agency that creates a new campaign for every audience. I would love your input on the pros and cons of doing this.
A: That is tremendously complex and there are no pros to doing it that way. I have nothing good to share about it. - Chris
(38:13) Q: If one of our distributors pays for Google PPC against similar or exact keywords we ourselves are paying for to drive traffic to our website, does that hurt more than it benefits us?
A: Having another advertiser in the auction hurts you, but there will be other products similar to yours out there, so seeing your product through a distributor's ad still gives you double the chance of selling. - Jason

Show Notes:
In this episode, the guys are addressing the polarizing topic of running brand campaigns in Google Ads covering both how to do it right as well as common problems that can fuel false success metrics.
Defining a brand campaign (3:07)
When you have someone searching for your company name (or anything exclusive to your company) and you have a keyword that targets it specifically and directs them to your website. It’s designed to capture the people looking for you. The advantage is that you control the messaging. - Chris
When competitors are bidding on your brand name (6:42)
Seeing a competitor positioned above you in organic results is the only justification for bidding on your own brand. The purpose of a brand campaign is to protect your company name. – Chris
Just because you don’t see someone out there when you do a search, it doesn’t mean no one is targeting your brand name or no one will start. So there might be a benefit to having a brand campaign going to get ahead. – Jason
Analyzing ROAS/Cost per lead with and without brand leads (10:49)
This is typically the biggest abuse we see, whether it's intentional or not. When you have a blend of brand searches inside your marketing search campaign, it loses its integrity by blending the value of a brand search with a non-brand.
Allowing brand keywords to show in sales/lead gen search campaign (21:49)
Mixing data is the biggest mistake you can make whether it's out of neglect or ignorance. Doing it wrong is ignoring what kind of traffic you're getting, how the keywords are reacting, and what the ecosystem looks like inside the search term report. To keep your data accurate, add your band name as negative keywords to your main search campaigns and run it as its own campaign.

In this episode the guys are tackling the 5 most common questions they get from existing clients like why they aren’t seeing their ad, increasing spend, and ways to improve. They also discuss the new Google Ads three strike policy that goes in effect September 2021.
News - Google Ads three strike policy (3:58)
Should I spend more? (8:32)
“Are you happy with the results? Is it providing a good return to your business? If it is, then yes. I think we should. If it’s ‘I don’t know’ then we should make it more efficient for you first.” - Chris
Why don’t I see my ad? (16:14)
"The first problem is you may not be searching the right terms. Second comes back to money – we’re limited by budget or the bids are not high enough." - Chris
How can we improve? (22:00)
“How do you want to improve? What are the goals here? If you’re wanting a better CPC or better cost per lead, let’s keep looking at our narrow quality campaigns. If you want to find something new to get more and more leads, we’ll talk about the wide/explorer approach to Google Ads.” - Jason
Why isn’t It working like when we first started? (27:33)
"This is an auction system; you have to deal with competitors. Maybe the price of business has gone up. That’s the most common answer, not that I give, but that I actually find with the data.” - Jason
How can we get more? (33:46)
"The best answer of all is 'Let's spend more!'" - Chris

Show Notes:
This week the guys are discussing how they respond to the top 5 most common questions they get from new clients pre and post launch including how to determine cost per click, setting budget guidelines, making changes to the website, adding landing pages, how to track success, and bidding on competitor names.
What should my cost per click be? (10:57)
“I’m CPC agnostic. I don’t care if my CPC is 25 cents or $1000. What I care about is my cost per lead.” - Jason
How much should my budget be? (14:40)
“The budget should be whatever you can risk in your first month and not ruin your business.” - Chris
Please look at my website. What do we need to fix? (19:28)
“I get this question every time I get a new Google Ads client and 70% of the time there’s nothing to be worried about on the website.” - Jason
Should I have some landing pages created? (23:29)
“There are times I recommend landing pages, but for those of you that have a moderately decent website with service pages with local or product information, pricing, a phone number or a form - that’s usually the best way.” - Chris
Is it working? (27:33)
“It is ridiculous to expect your long-term results will be what you see during the first 30 days.” - Jason
How do we track things? (31:51)
“I break it down into the 3 ways we can track things – lead forms, phone calls on the website, and calls from phone ad extension clicks.” - Jason
Should I bid on my competitors’ name? (40:57)
“If you want to do it, it should be intentional.” - Jason

Show Notes:
This week we have a great Q&A episode! The guys answer questions about how to deal with competition that is willing to bid more than you are, how to get in front of very specific groups of search users, if Lazy Man builds can apply to e-commerce campaigns, and how we approach the lead form extension. Thanks for listening and enjoy the episode!

Show Notes:
This week we compare Google Shopping Ads to Google Search Ads and we cover three important areas to consider when starting a Shopping campaign: cost per click, bidding, and campaign optimization. We look at these three areas in relation to a shopping campaign and we compare and contrast the differences to a traditional search campaign. We hope you enjoy the episode, and if you’d like more Google Shopping episodes, please let us know. Thanks for listening!

Show Notes:
Manual bids can be intimidating. Where do I start? How much do I bid? When do I change bids? We hear those questions about manual bidding often. But manual bidding can also be easy. It doesn’t have to be difficult. These three rules for manual bidding will make it easier to do and can also lead to more effective management. We hope you enjoy the episode and thanks for listening!
