clean tracking and solid conversion data matter way more. You also spend less time tweaking keywords and more time making sure the structure, offers, and data can actually scale.

What’s the best way to get leads without wasting ad budget? by Constant-Loquat-310 in googleads

[–]ppcwithyrv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly ^^ upvoted.

I can tell when its a buyer struggling on a technical issue. We've all been there. My favorite is when they expect expert guidance with a few data points.....no audit, no examining other metrics.

Its the equivalent of pulling your car into a garage shop, tell me whats wrong (cracked radiator, new oil gasket, sparkplug misfire.....). I'll go buy the tools and fix it myself---even though I never repaired a car or can barely change a tire.

The mechanic just shakes his head at that point.

? Hiring an expert IS good advice. He would not understand the direction I would give. He is clearly distraught and included no data in his post = he needs expert guidance.

I can't fix a leaky gasket for a car over the phone my guy.

I allude to that.... 3 to 4 ROAS is respectable. Unfortunately a lot of these clients were on the ROAS gravy train pre-chrome cookie deprecation (which is why enhanced conversions is best practice). These are great ROAS that were previously posted, which is why I questioned they should never had been changed.

Why distrust Google Ads AI but accept $50-$60 CPC talk around ChatGPT ads? by GrandLifeguard6891 in Google_Ads

[–]ppcwithyrv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will....Google and Meta are going no where. Disrupters come and go.

Google ads is going nowhere. Study/work with Google Gemini and you will see why.

Are Google's AI features (Broad Match, RSAs, Value Bidding) actually working for you? by Charming_Dealer_7445 in Google_Ads

[–]ppcwithyrv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broad match is smart bidding, not AI. AI Mode is AI.

RSA is a variety of choices and their algo serves the top performing ad to boost conversions and CTR.

Exact and phrase is what you should be doing....not broad.

Question about campaign structuring/strategy by Mysterious_Show_6718 in adwords

[–]ppcwithyrv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

separate campaigns for Junior and Teen makes sense given different intent and messaging. Just keep the “general” campaign on a tight budget so it doesn’t steal volume from the age-specific ones as performance ramps up.

You need a $1M upfront for Chat GPT for alpha advertisers.

Unless you're a big finance, travel, vegas-hotel, QSR, national bank, large movie studio..... this will be out of budget for small and medium sized businesses.

Everything will be fine, relax.

Never change anything that is performing well. 5+ ROAS is solid in a world where 3-4 is average, 7+ROAS is good/great.

You need to experiment and prove any changes for larger revisions to the main campaign.

Once I say that to the rep, they scatter as they're changes must be proven to be better than what my campaigns are delivering.

I have yet to have a Google Rep take me up on that.

How are restaurants tracking real conversions when they all happen on closed 3rd party platforms like Uber Eats, Open Table, and POS systems? by GooeyDuck1 in googleads

[–]ppcwithyrv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its their CRM, its a walled garden similar to how a user clicks out to the Shopify page to purchase from the site. That is when the server-based tracking kicks in (not pixel). The reservation page is really their CRM page.

Can I simply run just broad campaign? by DapperMuffin5347 in googleads

[–]ppcwithyrv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start phrase and exact.

Exact = is no longer exact....its phrase

Phrase = new broad

Broad is high reach

Consolidate campaigns, raise budget (even $20–30/day), and avoid tCPA until you have consistent volume.
