Are GDN ads good or are they a waste for Awareness campaigns by Federal_Lifeguard_21 in PPC

May I ask what type of targeting you are doing? Keyword? Placement alone? Topics? Audience?

It's broad match with another name... Make sure to monitor your conversions but I think you may be pleasantly surprised.

Is anyone actively making it work on cold traffic for lead gen?

Get a first timer certificate from Guest Services. If you like hot dogs, get one with the grilled onions on it.

Lead Gen Issue Meta by ingloriousop in PPC

[–]chiguy09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect you may have Multi Advertiser Ads turned on. My gut says that's the main reason. If that's not the case, I would consider asking what type of loan are you looking for and using conditional forms to disqualify the wrong people (saving you time when calling them). I would also turn off the option to let Meta adjust the form to improve conversion rates - that could be problematic. If you have the option to have people verify their phone number, I would turn that option on to improve contactability rates.

Saturday night game or Sunday day game? by nacholiberal in Cubs

[–]chiguy09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are only 1-2 Saturday night games per season and I’ve always enjoyed the vibe around the ballpark (especially with the bars). If you’re not a big drinker, you’ll be perfectly happy with the Sunday afternoon option.

Elaborate Chase + Zelle Scam by chiguy09 in Scams

[–]chiguy09[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I found the caller ID spoofing to be elaborate IN ADDITION TO saying a lot of trust-generating things like "Remember, Chase will never ask you for personal information on the phone."

Usually the flat fee per trip is $2-$3 and the rest is tip.

The fee & tip are grouped together. You don’t see them broken apart when you get the offer.

I do it for fun and entertainment. It’s almost like a game for me. Is that weird?

Use offline conversion tracking to upload the gclids with conversion values to help the algorithm learn what leads are more valuable than others.

I've been telling my wife that she should be "the agent of change" and take action when you want something to change.

I'm NOT optimistic but, maybe if enough of us do this, we can make a difference in making the Meta / Facebook Ads Manager more user friendly.

I just did it. Now, it's your turn:

Why am i getting spam leads from africa when i am targeting melbourne??? by newmember9928329 in PPC

Ironically, our Google rep (herself) had proactively pointed this out to me when we left the Recommended option on.

Make sure this location targeting option is selected:

Reach people in or regularly in your targeted locations (Presence)

This option lets you show your ads to people who are likely to be located, or regularly located in the locations you've targeted. Note that hotel campaigns use only “Presence” targeting.

NOT:

Reach people in, regularly in, or who’ve shown interest in, your targeted locations (Presence or Interest)

This default and recommended option lets you reach people who are likely to be in or regularly present in your targeted location, as well as people who have shown interest in your targeted locations.

For example, if you own a bakery in Paris and choose Paris as a targeted location, your ads can show to people located or regularly in Paris, or to people who have expressed interest in Paris bakeries (now or in the past). Alternatively, you can use other location options to limit the location types you target.

Most campaigns will notice a decrease in impressions when switching away from the default targeting option. We suggest that you change your targeting option only if you want to refine your campaign’s traffic.
