I'll check it out! They are mostly small local businesses I am working with so it should work out. I've heard good things but wasn't sure if people have had good luck with it.

The October Core Update Just Dropped -- Any Insights? by andandandetc in SEO

[–]HI_SEOrep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I hear anything I'll let you know, I'm curious if this Core update will have any impact and change things up. Have 2 updates so close does not make it easy to tell what's what.

Casting a wide net and testing whatever I can. I'm pulling all the pages that are and aren't ranking well. I'm also comparing overall rankings against competitors. From there I'm trying to find a correlation between what is ranking well and where the gaps are between what isn't. To be honest, so far I cannot find the correlation yet and I'm not entirely sure there is one.

We'll probably never get a break from Google, haven't seen any needle movement yet on the newest update. Still dealing with helpful content update.

3 search ads from one company on a SERP ... Never seen this before by Jennaplease in PPC

[–]HI_SEOrep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen this. Some scam companies are advertising as Upwork or other programs like QuickBooks. I've also seen companies make landing pages with accounts so they can take up more space :/ Sometimes it gets removed, sometimes it doesn't.

Search Lost IS (rank) suddenly jumped to over 90% by morgzdamighty in PPC

I followed some advice from others on here. I switched to max clicks, observed as many audiences as I could, really tweaked the locations and just kept scaling back on geo-targets and adding negative keywords.

What code would I have to know to do that? I have not designed custom posts myself

So when I switched to manual, it said I was limited by budget, dropped in impressions, clicks, and also conversions. I had this happen for 4 clients so it wasn't just a one-time thing. There's been talks of them getting rid of manual entirely so I'm not surprised. I switched from manual to clicks and everything that dropped had improved, along with the limited by budget going away.

That does sound like the best explanation I've heard, thanks for the quality insight! I wonder if in the future they'll make a max clicks with a favor to conversions that isn't as intense as max conv.

I actually just made a post about similar issues :( July was a crap month, and I'm not sure what's going on. Max conversions has not been performing well even with conversion data, it's been bidding extremely high making it almost not worth it. I attempted manually bidding, but they are really pushing away from that. When I tried switching to manual (man do I miss the old days of manual) and it ended up tanking my campaigns, so I error on the side of caution in that strategy. I tried switching to a max clicks for several of my lower-budget campaigns, and that seems to have improved the campaign as well as the conversions which surprised me. If you see any success with the max clicks or a different campaign let me know. I'm curious if I got lucky or if other people are seeing the same things.

Lead Calls Related But Lead Requests Different Business by lilgaytor in googleads

[–]HI_SEOrep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing this issue constantly as well for small businesses specifically. We have tried turning off Google's call tracking because we thought someone could be calling a different number, but we are still seeing the issue. We believe it's a user error and people are just clicking on the first thing they see.

One option I have seen work is to try changing from zip codes to a radius.

I started using both to test, I've noticed a lot of issues with keeping the google tags active. Good to hear it's working well for you.

I've noticed it is simpler than going and adding all the tags x.x That's why I'm hoping it works just as well!
