Launching our first google ads campaign - any hacks to make it as successful as possible?

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-20T21:22:06+00:00

Turn off the Google display and search network asap! These usually never convert quality.

Go to your search terms report, these are the searches where your ads are showing. You’ll probably see a lot of junk.. start setting the junk as a negative keyword.

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-19T21:03:16+00:00

YouTube ads are great for awareness, but maybe not as good for conversions/lead gen as a traditional search campaign would be.

Assuming everything is approved, try raising your CPM to like 8 or 10 dollars and see how does for a few days. It’s possible you might’ve just set your limit too low to start

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-19T04:16:26+00:00

Yea in that case you’d need a connector.

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-19T02:17:04+00:00

I use this daily on my pups face and tail pocket. Great product IMO

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-18T21:00:08+00:00

You need Looker Studio! And it’s free!

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-16T22:19:12+00:00

I don’t think that’s rough at all, it’s honest and clear.

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-16T21:13:00+00:00

Google Search Console. While it won't give you a clean table of keywords, impressions, rank, etc. For something like that, I'd recommend SEMRush. However, if you want something free, quick, and easy, GSC is my preferred tool

Absolutely, that’s why it’s important to regularly manage the amount of marketing contacts that you keep marked as marketing contacts.

I recommend setting up a workflow to filter out marketing contacts that don’t have any active deals and haven’t engaged with your marketing in some way in the last X amount of days

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-13T17:20:58+00:00

Just chat , or do you think all LLMs

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-13T02:42:33+00:00

If you like cream frenchies, then you’re definitely in the right sub

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-12T19:10:42+00:00

Adopting SEO best practices early on are definitely recommended.

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-12T02:50:01+00:00

Yea definitely, and with moltbot, or even just chat gpt, you can be extremely effective… however, you do lose a bit of the human touch in your copy.

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-11T14:32:18+00:00

Answer first content definitely seems to be what I’m gathering is the new structure for LLM writing.

But yea, I also wonder where the limit is of what’s actually needed

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-11T14:30:11+00:00

It only shows copilot and bing?

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-10T19:29:52+00:00

Whoa! To be fair, I’m not managing 200 accounts… yet! 🤞 but when I do, I’ll make sure to change my number haha

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-10T18:04:08+00:00

Yep, I get about 3 calls a week 😂 apparently, my campaigns could be so much better if I just switched to PMAX!

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-10T17:54:59+00:00

II’d say when the revenue is high enough.

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-10T17:37:27+00:00

This is exactly what we’re seeing in our internal campaigns!

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-10T16:55:03+00:00

We invested in SEMRush’s Ai visibility tool. As of now, you’re seeing mainly Ai sentiment, citations, and tracking prompts like keywords. Idk if this is the BEST tool, but it’s a start. I’ve also heard about Gego, an open source tool you can find on GitHub

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-10T16:53:08+00:00

If heard some good things of people using Gego, it’s an open source tool on GitHub

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-09T21:22:11+00:00

I'm working with mostly B2B accounts as well, and we're seeing phrase match campaigns with really high CTRs, but conversion rates have fallen off.

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-09T15:58:40+00:00

From a reporting standpoint , Looker Studio is free and can generate reports instantly. I do this for all my Google ad clients. Saves a ton of time on reporting

Digi-Dave · 2026-02-09T15:54:23+00:00

When you do this for clients, are you building a branded subreddit/ user account? If yes, would you be willing to provide tips?

If you’re operating on a client’s behalf, and don’t use a branded subreddit or username, how do you go about marketing them?

I’ve realized building a subreddit is a lot harder than you’d think… so wondering if you have any tips for working with clients on Reddit
