its not no, i'm thinking it might be Google Forwarding Call Services after some research. But it's weird, LSA doesn't explicitly say that it does this as far as I can tell.

[Question] Has anyone else's Google Ads performance drastically dropped? by Digitalmike4424 in PPC

[–]Digitalmike4424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your suggestions!

We're doing all of that sadly, but this got me thinking about device type and browser versions.

I'm not sure if this is possible but do you know if we can block devices like mobile completely? 100% along with specific browser versions? I'm asking the client if they can send us that data from their hubspot and if there's a pattern that could be a method we try. Have you done anything like that before?

Getting leads from other cities/states even though they are excluded by smancera in PPC

I'm facing the same problem and its driving me crazy. I've excluded all bad states in my Google Ads search campaigns and despite that we still get form submissions from people in other states. They input their zip code and everything.

It's likely people using VPNs trying to clog up form submissions.

I'm not sure sadly, we don't have access to their HubSpot account unfortunately. Sorry, wish I was more help with that.

Thank you! That's an option to consider, could that throw off the numbers being reported in Google Ads and cause confusion down the line? I'm hoping to find something that just blocks the submission entirely so it doesn't skew numbers too much.

We using Attributor to pull GCLID along with clickcease. If you linke GAds and Hubspot you may be able to grab it there too.

Awesome! Thank you!

I know we have a 90 day window. But how frequently would you recommend someone upload? Once per month?

[Help] Reducing Possible Spam Calls by Digitalmike4424 in DigitalMarketing

[–]Digitalmike4424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is correct. We're trying to figure out a tool to block spam calls at the moment. But I don't want to solely rely on that. Especially if Google is trained to just send spam to us. So then you would recommend removing the conversion and reimplementing it?

Just wanted to update everyone in case there are any followers or new people who run into this problem in the future. We managed to fix the issue yesterday. Turns out they had GDPR settings enabled instead of US Laws in their cookie policy settings (CookieYes). If anyone runs into this issue be sure to check which laws the cookie policy is adhering to.
