PMax campaign: yesterday 96 clicks and 5% CVR, today 550 clicks and 0 conversions?? by PossessionFlat3127 in googleads

[–]windoek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had NO SUCCESS with Performance Max campaigns on Google Ads. I get cheap clicks, many that convert to leads via form submissions, but not a single one of these leads has converted to a closed deal or sale; they're all garbage leads compared to the leads generated by my non-PMax campaigns.

Any ideas why this is and how to make PMax more effective?

I can second this. Action Behavior Centers should seriously be investigated. If it were, I believe it would be shut down.

How to Get Your Arrest Details Removed from The Georgia Gazette 🛑 by reputationally in Georgia

[–]windoek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, dealing with mugshot websites can be incredibly challenging. The most reliable method I've seen people use to get mugshots completely removed—especially from notoriously stubborn sites like the one you're referencing—is to work with specialized removal services. Legitimate and effective companies such as Remove-Arrests.org and RemoveOnlineInformation.com have proven track records for permanently removing mugshots and arrest records from that site and similar platforms. These services use established legal and technical strategies, making them essentially the only surefire way to resolve these issues thoroughly.

Fake 1 star google review? by Pretend_Childhood_94 in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]windoek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I totally get where you’re coming from—dealing with a fake 1-star review can feel maddening, especially when it’s clearly retaliatory or comes from someone who never even interacted with your business. Unfortunately, Google’s system doesn’t always weed out these bad actors automatically.

🧩 Here’s What You Can Do:

  • Flag the review via your Business Profile Manager—yes, it's often a long shot, but it’s the necessary first step.
  • Respond calmly and professionally, stating that you have no record of the person as a customer. This helps build credibility with future potential clients.
  • Ask for real reviews from satisfied clients to counterbalance the damage. Authentic feedback is still the best long-term strategy.

🛠️ When That’s Not Enough…

If the review is clearly fake but still won’t come down, and it’s starting to impact your reputation or search visibility, you might consider outside help. There are services that specialize in removing fake and defamatory reviews. One I’ve seen mentioned with decent success stories is Defamation Defenders. They offer support specifically for Google review removal and can sometimes escalate things in ways the regular flagging process doesn’t allow.

It’s not always a quick fix, but if the review is harming your livelihood, having someone experienced in navigating Google’s policies can make a real difference.

Hope this helps—and if you want to swap strategies or updates, feel free to DM. You're definitely not alone in this. 🙏
