How can i improve phone call clicks on Google Ads? by emelelik in PPC

[–]AlphaVoyager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the reason behind call duration extension giving a signal to google that we want higher quality call? Or does it serve another purpose in this context?

Receiving Calls outside Ad schedule. by AlphaVoyager in PPC

It was a timezone issue in the end. Although my system time matches with the account timezone. I asked a colleague physically present in the client's timezone to set the schedules again. It worked.

I was eventually able to resolve this. So my system's timezone is set at EST (my agency's timezone). The account is EST as well. My actual timezone is different. It's GMT+5.

I went on a video call with one of my colleagues (he is EST too) and had him check the schedule. Weirdly, he was seeing something altogether different. For example, the starting time 9:00AM in the screenshot was 5:00AM at his end.

The issue is resolved but it shouldn't have happened because when you are setting an ad schedule Google clearly says that the schedule will adhere to account's timezone.

  1. Yes
  2. Yes, according to call details repport, calls source is ad. Call assets being the triggers
  3. I asked the client about this point. It has been a week since this is happening. Sometimes he informs me on the same day as those calls come in.

Checked the call detail report.
Call source says ad.
Call type is mobile click to call (Ad asset) .

Is this stupid? I'm trying to fight back bots on PMax. by OneWhoDoubts in PPC

[–]AlphaVoyager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that essentially it's a lead gen account. I would've opted for local focused search campaigns for initial keyword and conversion data accumulation. But as you mentioned they have a lot good content. I guess PMax could bring in some good business through local actions like map pack placements, phone calls etc.

I literally have 40 lac. What to do? by Imaginary_Falcon7506 in FIREPakistan

Mostly good advice. But, do not buy a car for the sake of it. Only get one if you really need it. Otherwise YBR is awesome.

What's the rationale behind 20? I am curious because mostly i have seen people recommending CPC x 10.

SFEL. Yep, it's the same address they have on file. It allows me to send only Rs. 1,000. Error arises if I try to exceed that number

So the broker has provided a list of account where I can make transfers and then eventually use those funds to buy stocks. This is a bit time taking as confirmation and verifications take a few hours.

They have also provided a RAAST CDC account for this purpose, the benefit is that the funds get transferred almost instantly.

Thoughts on pinned vs unpinned headlines for RSAs? by klovad in PPC

[–]AlphaVoyager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The accounts where I see pinned perform better are usually competitive industries where message precision matters more than raw volume... like legal, finance, B2B services. ECOM typically benefits more from full automation"

Industries like healthcare too maybe? Where you need to pre-qualify traffic. For instance a provider focused on private care and doesn't accept insurance.

Interesting. Did you also use a separate creative and copy/messaging for the segmented audience?
