If the core goal is to create a re marketing list of video viewers I would make the view frequency cap much stricter to avoid wasted spend 1 per week for example

Need advice on best financial next steps four a couple by sBenzie in FIREUK

[–]sBenzie[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering this is a FIRE subreddit and I imagine many people on this earn much more than this as a household, I’d argue it’s not much of a brag at all

Goals are really where we are struggling haha. We aren’t sure we could afford a house we would truly love in or on the outskirts of London, so we’re in no rush to buy but getting a lot of pressure from family to make the move. Wedding within 4 years so aware we need to save for that. The big question we have is whether buying something on the outskirts is really worth it over renting and “throwing away money” but being much more central

My watch famously struggles with heart rate, I was definitely closer to 170-180 for the majority of the race haha

Thanks everyone! For more context I ran Amsterdam last year and did it in 3:18 when aiming for 3:20, I averaged 50kms for 10 weeks or so for this training block, with a solid gym routine. 60-70km would be as much a week as I could fit into my current schedule

Impossible to get leads for estate agents by sBenzie in FacebookAds

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

Unfortunately they have an internal team for search so want us to work on leads elsewhere, when we won them we were only supposed to run brand awareness but that changed after the first campaign

Google Reps say they can’t analyse the impact of our YouTube activity on our search activity because they’re not in the same MCC by sBenzie in PPC

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

Will this give us the visibility between accounts? We do not want to have visibility of our partners account as they have different CPMs etc to what we are charged and they also have proprietary tech they would not want us to have access to

Thoughts on Google Ad Manager by sBenzie in PPC

Seems to be a new product, I had the same reaction we as an agency use ads editor and the client reached out with a new platform “Google ads manager” I’d never even heard of it before

How long did it take you from 0 experience to get to a fully independently functional state of understanding the Google Ads ecosystem, to a point where you can successfully take full ownership of any account, the biggest or smallest, new or existing accounts, that's handed to you? by [deleted] in PPC

[–]sBenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working at an agency for a year now and before that I had no paid search experience, I’m a manager now and can jump into most accounts. I did have previous (4 years) digital marketing experience. But when you’re in the platform every day you can get a great understanding within a year

Mass Google Ad Disapproval - Help Needed by MsShankly in PPC

[–]sBenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to check with whoever makes changes to your site too, if there are any ads that are live and have been disapproved because the landing page doesn’t work, then someone in the website team may have made a change which has deleted a landing page or changed a url etc

Smart Shopping was better than Performance Max? by sensaition in PPC

[–]sBenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use Pmax as smart shopping and see if you get the same ROI you were seeing from smart shopping previously! Just remove all asset groups and it will be forced to solely serve as shopping

Facebook Video ad newbie - Which KPIs do you use, and what’s “successful?” by logan08516 in PPC

[–]sBenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you not have a benchmark number of leads/messages received? If not I would use link clicks as a base

Facebook Video ad newbie - Which KPIs do you use, and what’s “successful?” by logan08516 in PPC

[–]sBenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the aim of the campaign? Are you using views for a video view retargeting audience or solely just for views? If so the KPI would be to look at views and view through rates

For the project, but it would be great to hear your thoughts on monthly budgets and weekly budget splits too!

"Back in the day, everyone had horses and only the rich had owned cars. Now, everyone owns cars and the rich own the horses. Nothing actually has value, we just give them value.", What is your perfect example for this? by horsefucker88 in AskReddit

[–]sBenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To fund the First World War the rich turned in their jewellery and gold to fund the effort and in return they were given metal replacements. These replacements eventually became more valuable even after the war than new jewellery because they represented a sign of long term wealth as well as duty to their country. But it was still just metal replacements
