Opus GrowthالمنتدىThe usual advice is to upload your full customer list, the bigger the better, but I don't think that holds up everywhere. Take a dental clinic with 12,000 past patients, most of…
Pinning gets a lot of hate in responsive search ads, mostly because it cuts down the combinations the system can test. I think it makes sense when you have a real reason, like a…
Setting up Conversions API through a partner integration or a server container feels like a lot of work at around 1,500 a month in spend. My view is that for a small account the…
Referral reports in GA4 are getting noisy, with chatgpt.com and perplexity.ai mixed in with random blogs and directories. I'd build a custom channel group for AI assistant…
Picture a clinic running consent mode v2 where most EU visitors reject the banner. GA4 still shows a healthy conversion count, because modeled conversions fill the gap. But…
Say you're testing three new creatives on Meta with around 100 a day. The ABO crowd says give each ad set a fixed share so you can compare them head to head. The CBO crowd says…
Do you strip branded queries before reporting SEO growth out of Search Console, or just report total clicks and impressions? There's a real argument on each side. Branded clicks…
A flat total in Search Console usually hides what SEO is actually doing. Branded queries have strong CTR and position, so they prop up the whole site's numbers while non-brand…
For a local service business I'd reply to every review, and the bad ones matter less than people think. Say a plumber gets a three star review about a late arrival. The reply that…
Picture a B2B software company running LinkedIn with demo requests as the conversion. Demos are cheap, so the platform's cost per lead looks great. Then sales reports that half of…
Say a small skincare brand has about 3k a month for TikTok. One camp says Spark Ads on your own organic posts are the cheapest way to get creator-style content into the feed,…
Picture a Shopping campaign for a store where people tend to compare for a few days before buying. On day 3 you've got two sales and a CPA that looks awful, and the urge is to cut…
Once an AI assistant is connected to your ad accounts, you have to decide where the context lives. One option is a standing brief saved in a project or custom instructions, so it…
Say you run a furniture store on Meta with a decent but not huge budget. Advantage+ placements is on by default, and the breakdown shows a chunk of spend going to Audience Network…
Most of the Spark Ads debate comes down to where the hook came from. Spark lets you boost an existing organic post, so it keeps the likes, comments and creator handle, which makes…
Take a store with about 2,000 SKUs where the feed titles are just the supplier names, something like "Acme K3 Pro 512GB Black". Shopping and PMax match queries against those…
Take a fashion store with around 400 SKUs where Performance Max keeps pouring most of the spend into a handful of bestsellers through product pages. One fix is pointing the final…
I keep going back and forth on DNI versus a single static number for local service businesses. DNI swaps in a tracking number per visitor, so you can tie each call to the keyword…
Pinning in RSAs is one of those debates with no clean answer. The case for it is control: if your brand name or a legal line has to show up in a specific position, a rotating…
Splitting PMax into three campaigns by margin tier only pays off if each one gets enough conversions to learn on its own. Bidding is set per campaign, so a 3x target on the 15%…
Google's Recommendations tab is a mixed bag, and most people either apply everything or ignore it completely. My take is that most suggestions are safe to skip by default, but a…
Say a store does around 30 orders a month and wants to move from Maximize Conversion Value to Target ROAS. Their last 90 days averaged 420% ROAS, so the obvious move is setting…
At $30 a day I'd skip the audience split, because it mostly burns money. Meta's learning phase wants roughly 50 optimization events a week per ad set, and a few hundred clicks…
Both sides are partly right, and which one wins depends on the decision the report feeds. If you're deciding where to spend content budget, strip brand out. Most brand demand…
Emergency services are a good example of this. Take a plumber running Search ads around the clock on a flat budget. A lot of the late clicks come from someone with a burst pipe at…
Every January someone asks whether to pause or loosen Smart Bidding during a dead stretch and restart it later. My instinct is to hold, because pausing throws away the learned…
Consent Mode v2 keeps coming up in measurement threads, and I still can't decide how much weight modeled conversions deserve. Google estimates conversions from users who declined…
A lot of lead gen accounts mark a form fill, a phone click, a newsletter signup and a pricing page visit all as primary conversions. Smart Bidding then treats them as roughly…
I keep going back and forth on how much autonomy an AI should get on a live website. Take a small service business whose assistant updates prices, opening hours and a couple of…
Say a store sells phone accessories at 60% margin next to large appliances at 12%. One tROAS target across the whole feed either starves the appliances or overspends on accessory…
