Try Opteo for free for 28 days - https://opteo.com/psp
For the first time, Google Ads advertisers can see which Search Partner sites are displaying their ads in Search, Shopping, and App campaigns. After more than 20 years of treating Search Partners as a black box, Google has finally added placement reporting.
So why am I still frustrated?
In this episode, Chris Schaeffer breaks down exactly what Google’s new reporting includes, what it leaves out, and why this update is both a step forward and a major missed opportunity.

Google Ads is hiding more and more search term data, and it’s becoming a serious problem for advertisers.
Try Opteo for free for 28 days - https://opteo.com/psp
In this episode, Chris Schaeffer explains why search terms—not keywords—are the foundation of successful Google Ads management, why Google’s increasing lack of transparency matters, and what you can do to protect your campaigns.
You’ll learn:
The critical difference between keywords and search terms
Why search terms are the first step in measuring paid search quality
How hidden search terms make optimization more difficult
Why less visibility leads to more wasted ad spend
How this shift especially impacts small advertisers
Why transparency has always been one of Google Search’s biggest advantages
* How broad match negative keywords can help reduce unwanted traffic
Google Ads wasn’t built on showing ads to people who might be interested. It became the world’s most powerful advertising platform because it reached people at the exact moment they were searching for a product or service.
That’s why understanding what people actually searched is so important.
Your keywords are only what you tell Google to target. Your search terms reveal where your advertising dollars are really going.
If Google continues hiding that information, advertisers lose one of the most valuable tools they have for improving performance and holding the platform accountable.

In this episode, we break down how to spot and stop spam traffic and leads before they drain your budget. We cover the risks of leaving Search Partners and Display Network wide open, including mobile apps, ad farm sites, and suspiciously high CTRs. You’ll learn why location targeting should be set to “people in or regularly in your targeted area” and why “interested in” leads to bad traffic, especially with Search Partners. We also dive into shady search terms like competitor names, phone numbers, and support queries that often signal spam. We explain why chasing cheap clicks under $1 CPC can be dangerous, especially with broad match keywords. You’ll hear why click fraud tools are not a real solution, and how data exclusion can help when spam waves or tracking issues pop up. Finally, we put all the red flags together to show how Google’s recommendations often push you toward clicks, while the smarter move is optimizing for real conversions.

About primary and secondary conversion actions - https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/11461796
Show Notes:There have been some recent updates to conversiontracking in Google Ads that will make some of the things we've said in the past null and void. So in this episode, we're digging into the three most common ways to track leads when you run a lead generation campaign, how to set up lead form conversions without code, and primary vs. secondary conversions.
(5:18) Call from Ads
We did a deep dive about call extensions in episode 306. Make sure conversion action is created and applied at the call extension.
(10:54) Calls from website
Many people don’t know about this. We don't consider it foundational, but you'll want to consider using it industry by industry.
(17:41) How to view calls
The Call details report provides the phone number, duration, time of call, and is it was answered or missed.
(24:15) How to set up lead form conversions in Google Analytics without any code
If Analytics is on your website, track Thank You page views without code. This magic only works for page loads. Google Analytics 4 is here, Universal Analytics is being sunsetted.
(42:36) Primary vs. secondary conversions
“Include in conversion column” is gone and replaced with primary and secondary.

Show Notes:With the changes to expanded texts ads coming in July, we recently released 3 episodes doing a deep dive into responsive search ads. Since then there have been two interesting things we've learned regarding the ad strength tool and an advanced location feature. In this episode, we investigate if our ads are being limited due to ad strength and discuss how we're responding. We also share an advanced location feature that you'll absolutely love and have a chat with the man who told us about it, Ryan Suchit. (7:45)We need to talk about ad strength on responsive ads
Are your ads being limited due to ad strength? The campaign is being throttled in some way, but we don't know how much you’re being limited.
(31:20) Advanced location feature in responsive ads
If Google knows the location of your user, they will put the city, state, or country (depending on which option you select). If they don’t know, they’ll put in your default text.

Show Notes:We're back with another Q&A with some amazing questions from our listeners about targeting a national campaign for good results, software as a service (SaaS) keywords, blocking websites in a dynamic remarketing campaign, SKAGs for e-commerce, and how NFTs might affect Google Ads.
(4:04) Targeting a national campaign for good results
I’m running Google Ads campaigns in one location and was getting good results. I’ve scaled it out to more locations (national), ran exactly like I had it in my one location, but the conversion rate has completely dropped. How should I target a national campaign for good results?
(12:08) Software as a service (SaaS) keywords
I am a Google Ads freelancer with a couple of clients and I wanted to see if you would be interested in covering SaaS products a little more specifically. There are situations where I am targeting keywords that 100% target the services a client offers. I'll spend months trying to get it to work. They have a bunch of people reach the “book now” page and for the most part, they drop off. I just can't fathom why the keywords I have selected wouldn't work at all.
(21:29) Blocking websites in a dynamic remarketing campaign
Shopping has been the real game-changer for our little online store. This past weekend I launched our first dynamic retargeting campaign, where the specific product someone looked at is marketed back to them. Since we launched, I’ve been playing whack-a-mole constantly! I add websites to my exclusion list daily, hundreds of them. Now I check every site individually to ascertain legitimacy. This is a losing game, I don’t have the time to eliminate hundreds of websites every day! So, isn’t it better to just not let Google do automatic placements, make a list of websites that I know are legitimate websites, and only target those?
(31:22) SKAGs for e-commerce
I believe that the way I go about setting up google ads using SKAGs for an E-commerce store may be a bit old school. Do you guys have some advice on the best way to advertise products to B2B customers that will "in theory" drive the most conversions?
(38:38) NFTs effect on Google Ads
Do you think NFTs will impact Google Ads or how we use them? Do you think companies will start to search for NFT specific marketing companies?

Show Notes:Continuing to delay your start on Google Ads is a huge opportunity cost and you’re also letting your competitors take market share from you by allowing them to get further and further ahead on Google Ads. Don't wait! In this episode, we're explaining how you can get started easily and safely.
(7:49) How long should you give your campaign before you expect to see results?
Results take time. Wait a minimum of 90 days.
(10:20) How to set your first month’s budget
It will vary depending on the business, but don't budget more than you can afford to lose in 3 months if you didn't get a single conversion. For most businesses, $1000 per month is a good jumping-off point.
(15:34) Turn search partners and display network off on campaign
If you're new to Google Ads and concerned with your budget, you want to focus your advertising on Google only.
(21:14) Location targeting with advanced options
People are constantly on the move. Go as wide as possible in your service area.
(31:35) Bidding
Start by using automated bidding with max clicks.
(35:29) Match types
Try using broad match with max clicks or phrase match; exact match can restrict your results. The most important thing is having good keywords.
(43:17) How to find a good set of no brainer, high-value keywords you can't get hurt with
There is no fool-proof method. The key is to test and learn.
(48:36) Ads
You only need 1 responsive ad in the ad group. Do not include the name of your company in that ad.
(50:18) Extensions
Extensions are different parts of the ad that can show up under your ad copy such as call extensions, call-outs, site links, and structured snippets. You don't get to control how often they show up.
(51:38) How you can track leads
Calls from ads, website calls, and lead forms

Show Notes:We're officially 300 episodes in, so this week we're talking about the state of Google Ads, what’s changed, and where we’re at now six years after launching the podcast.
(4:52) Introduction to the topic - how Google Ads has changed since the beginning of PSP
(12:52) Limited ad status, the system flagging ads
Contact support for help, otherwise ignore if you’re getting volume.
(17:48) Perfect results are still possible, but you have to get creative
Phrase being looser sometimes means more exact match.
Phrase is sometimes like BMM or broad.
Using conversion value/cost aka ROAS a lot more. Conversions matter more now that we can’t see or control as many search terms.
(29:00) Unlucky Accounts - can’t see a lot of search terms
Some accounts are only showing 20% of search terms. That makes it hard to do good work.
(34:19) Impression Absolute Top Percentage
The crucial data column tells you exact where you’re at.
(41:10) Responsive ads bring volume
If you want volume, give into responsive ads.
(45:10) Weird Search Partners data
Keep an eye on this one if you see 90% of clicks or even 100%, unnaturally low CPC, and no conversions.
(47:58) Opportunity cost is the biggest loss
Start a Google Ads campaign or hire a professional. There's outstanding potential.
(51:29) Stop screwing up your Google Ads account
Managers are making too many changes. Have some patience. Strategies take time to develop. Give it at least 90 days or spend more money.

Show Notes:In the last episode, Jason and Chris discussed how to build a YouTube campaign In Google Ads. This week they're discussing what kind of results you can expect from your YouTube campaign after it's built by running through various campaign metrics and offering some ideas about how you can improve your campaign. (7:20) Views vs. Impressions
Impression - thumbnail is shown (in-feed) or video is watched under 30 seconds (in-stream); View - the video is watched more than 30 seconds
(9:43) View rate (percentages)
(17:27) CPV (Cost Per View)
Can be as low as $0.01; typically $0.03 - $0.07
(20:21) Clicks and Cost Per Click
CPC looks high because it accounts for total spend divided by clicks
(24:12) Conversions
(27:39) Earned
Views, subscribers, shares, likes
(32:54) What should I expect from a YouTube campaign?
High volume on gaming, music, and entertainment content, rare lead generation or sales, opportunities to build your assets, cheap testing
(36:39) How can I improve my YouTube campaigns?
Use exclusions, define your goal metric then test and optimize for it

Show Notes:In this episode, Chris and Jason break down 5 data columns in Google Ads that they consider underused or get asked about frequently.(5:33) News - Facebook shares plunge more than 20%
(9:30) Optimization score

(17:54) Relative CTR
Relative CTR measures how your ads perform on Display Network sites compared to other ads on the same sites.

View-through conversions tell you when customers see, but don't interact with your ad, but then later complete a conversion on your site.
(42:39) Active Bid Adjustment (at the ad group level)
Bid adjustments allow you to show your ads more or less frequently based on where, when, and how people search.

About negative keywords - https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2453972
Show Notes:We're back with another Q&A with some awesome questions from our listeners about click share, bounce rate vs. engaged sessions, transitioning a complex setup to the new "SKAG" structure, and the differences among broad, phrase, and exact match negative keywords. (4:37) How do I get to the top of the search and maps?
(18:05) Re: your brand campaign episode - what if your company name is also a keyword for the company? [our company name] is the same keyword [clients] might search for.
(23:25) Let's say my click share is 60% and I have 60 clicks. I know that the meaning is that there are 40 clicks that I could have received, but didn't. My question is does it mean the 40 clicks went to my competitor’s ads? Or it could have gone to my organic ad or my competitor's organic ad? Does click share measure from a potential click from paid media only?
(33:31) With bounce rate becoming obsolete and being replaced in GA4, do you think Google has been calculating it wrong all this time? Can you shed any insights on how bounce rate and engaged sessions may differ or be the same?
(39:58) How do you transition from a very complex setup with multiple campaigns and ad groups that are time-consuming and low performing to the new SKAG structure?
(45:33) I'd appreciate you talking about negative keywords and how precise they are now versus in the past and if things are changing in the less "word for word" Google Ads world we live in today. And what are the differences in broad, phrase, and exact match negative keywords if any?

About cross-campaign asset reporting for responsive search ads - https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/9781208
Show Notes:As we start off 2022, we both agree responsive search ads are the most important topic of the year, especially given the changes to expanded text ads coming in June. So over the next couple of episodes, we're doing a deep dive into responsive search ads starting by getting back to basics with ads copy, then digging into the technical side next week.
(5:00) Introduction to the "Create effective Search ads Write compelling, genuine ad copy" Google Ad help article
(8:44) Craft messaging that focuses on user needs and benefits - Nothing changes. Focus on the users.
(16:06) Tip - use what worked in expanded text ads and move it into responsive ads
(19:39) Tie your headline and description line's messaging to your keywords - Use keywords, but focus on the high-volume ones
(24:41) Avoid generic sales language in your ads. Use more specific and relatable CTAs - Generic is a four-letter word
(32:47) Check Ad strength for insights into how users may react to your ads - Ad strength is a guide, not a grade?
(42:11) Review cross-campaign asset reporting - Does THIS ONE lead to ad rank/quality score implications?

Show Notes:Even if you're not a Google Ads expert, your insight is valuable to running a successful campaign. The industry pushes ways of doing things, but you as the business owner/employee know your business. In this episode, we're talking about how to trust your instincts and communicate with your agency. They need to listen to you.
(3:41) Intro to topic
(7:59) Work backward from your goalsWhy are you running ads? Remarketing, sales, leads? Work backward. Trust your instinct. Help your agency. Guide them, not the other way around.
(8:43) Keywords
“Google Ads manager keywords” tend to be too high funnel. You focus on problems your customers have. Use the keyword planner, Google searches, and old search terms data to mine for ideas.
(15:45) Landing page vs website
The agency delivered a generic landing page. Your customers want info that will help them. Trust your instinct, just make your site a little more trackable.
(19:08) Ad copy
Dynamic keyword insertion is the worst of the worst agency idea versus copy you know will do great with your customers.
(24:56) Conversion tracking
Agencies try to stuff conversions. Trust your instinct.
(30:08) Time
How long will it take to know if the agency strategy is working? Trust your instinct and fire them if they’re not listening to you. Good Google ads managers listen.

Show Notes:We've been getting a lot of questions from clients about phrase match search terms, so we thought it was a good time to recap the changes to phrase match and broad match modified incorporated earlier this year as mentioned in this Google Ads Help article. If you embrace it by using your negative keyword skills and second-level thinking, there are a lot of opportunities. (6:22) Introduction to the main topic
(8:21) Changes to phrase match and broad match modifiers and Jason's theory about personalized results (https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/10286719)
(16:21) Examples of how the changes are affecting results
(29:31) Should I just run exact match keywords?
(32:26) Is the looseness a bad thing or a good thing?
(34:54) Does Google know about the user?
(38:08) Do search terms even matter?
(39:20) How do I control my search terms?
(40:30) How does this affect brand campaigns?

In this episode, Jason and Chris are discussing how to get relevant B2B leads for a service that is searched in the same way by the B2C segment. There is no one solution, the search never ends for spot-on keywords, and Google Ads is not your ultimate problem solver, but we have some tips that will help put the odds in your favor.

Show Notes:This week it's another Q&A episode with some great questions from our listeners about the correlation between maximizing conversions and high CPC, the value of long-tail keywords, how the presence of different match types of the same keywords may affect the ad group, reducing the damage of "other search terms," and tips for breaking into an industry with an extremely high average CPC.
(3:44) Q: I’ve got a small lead gen campaign running on manual CPC using ad group bid levels that has been running well for 45 days. I made the move to maximize conversions without setting a target CPA. Only 2 days in and conversions are going well, but the CPC has gone crazy high. Is this to be expected?
A: Yes, it is to be expected. You need to have a solid number of conversions. Try experimenting as a way to test without regret. If you wanted to go automated, try a click strategy with a max CPC bid limit.
(15:30) Q: When I choose keywords I often type in phrase match and exact match. Should I be tapping into longer tail keywords? The short tail phrase is often of higher value than the long tail. Can I settle with this approach, or do I need to pause the short tail phrase and add in the long tail search terms I’m seeing as keywords to give them a chance to perform?
A: Leave the long-tail keywords (defined as more than 3 words) alone. Start with simple phrase match and gather data, then make decisions about how to get better-qualified searches and isolate them. If you're using manual, add those searches as keywords and pull down bids on the short tail and up on the long tail.
(25:04) Q: I’ve got a mixed bag of keyword types in my ad groups. Is it okay to have the same keyword in the same ad group but in different keyword match types? How does the presence of the different match types of the same keywords affect the ad group, if at all?
A: Phrase and key match hardly affect things at all. Keep broad versions of keywords in different campaigns so you can control the budget.
(32:34) Q: How can I reduce the damage of “other search terms?”
A: There’s nothing you can do about it, so it's best not to worry about other search terms. The percentage varies a lot by industry with the highest being searches that contain personal information.
(42:38) Q: How do I break into a niche/industry that has an extremely high average CPC?
A: Try using broad keywords, you might be surprised. The quality might look awful, but you might get conversions. If your daily budget is too small compared to the average in the industry, things won't run as smoothly. Try running a few days with a bigger daily budget. Have patience.

Show Notes:
In our last episode, we talked about how the loosening of match types has changed our approach to the way we select keywords and concluded that longtail keywords are on the way out. This week we’re defining longtail keywords, why we used them, why they’re “dead,” and why we’ve replaced them with “full context” keywords. Chris also breaks down several match-type agnostic examples that help explain the concept for a wide variety of industries.
(4:11) What is a longtail keyword?
Keywords that are 3+ words in length that go beyond an action term plus a core term; super low volume, highly niched keywords
(9:18) Why did we use longtail keywords used?
Word to word targeting used to be possible
(12:07) Why are longtail keywords dead?
With the loosening of match types, now we have to match idea to idea/topic to topic/theme to theme; search results are more individualized based on other data
(16:42) What is a “full context keyword”?
3 or more words that express a complete thought that define the search firmly in the search funnel
Examples by industry –
(24:17) Medical technology
(27:41) E-commerce
(33:00) Rentals
(37:57) Furniture
(45:42) Home services
(47:57) Travel

Show Notes:
Running a successful Google Ads campaign continues to become more and more complex. In this episode, the guys are answering some simple and essential questions to help you slow down, simplify your thinking, and achieve your goal.
(9:08) What do you want - leads or sales? Who has those leads?
Consider the person who needs the product/service your company is offering. Think about what device they might be using and what kind of frame of mind they’re in when searching. It's not about the person, it’s about how they’re searching. Think about the individual, not the group demographics.
(13:06) How do we get in front of that person?
Consider the searcher's concerns in the keywords/search terms as well as the ad copy. Responsive ads are coming in June 2022 which will offer quick feedback on the quality of your ad copy (determined by AI) but may affect your ability to connect with the individual on an emotional level. A poor rating might mean your ad isn't served as often, but you can trust the data to see if it’s effective.
(29:20) Are my keywords and search terms getting results?
Are they matching my “get in front of the person” goals or taking me off that path? This is a constant adjustment and an ongoing improvement process. Modify by using full context keywords or negative keywords.
(41:41) Am I getting good conversion rates?
“Good” is a relative term. It depends on the industry you're in and who you’re selling to. You can’t base the success of a Google Ads campaign solely on the conversion rate. If they’re not converting, it usually comes down to the presentation of the product or service on the website.

Show Notes:
This week the guys are tackling more of your Google Ads questions regarding the staffing and recruiting industry, finding value in a campaign that doesn't track conversions, the usefulness of the ad preview tool, the impact of pausing a campaign, and what to do if your conversion rate is showing over 100%.
(3:47) Q: Could you talk about the staffing and recruiting industry? It seems like a different beast with more targeting restrictions and high CPCs.
A: It’s a unique industry because of the intensity by which people search. High volume, high response, and a lot of competitors mean you have the unique opportunity to try a lot of experiments. Drill down on what job you offer specifically.
(12:42) Q: My client is not able to track conversions. Would you accept clients who have this setup? How do you judge success? How do you know what to optimize?
A: It’s not as big of a problem as it seems. The campaign will never be as good as it would if you had the tracking/conversion data, but it’s still a good value for marketing money because of search terms, CPC, and keywords. You can judge success on many other secondary factors.
(19:24) Q: Do you think the ad preview tool is useful for clients to see their own ads without affecting search results?
A: It’s usually a last resort to a client who doesn’t see their ad. Because we’re working with a digital product, we have to work with the numbers we see.
(25:48) Q: Will stopping my ads have a negative impact on a campaign and/or account level due to a build-up of negative history on the days the ads aren’t running? Ideally, we would like to run our ads every day but sometimes we aren’t able to due to budget and cash flow problems.
A: There is not a negative impact on a campaign just because you pause it, but there is a momentum shift. You’re not being hurt, but you’re not getting the benefit of the momentum. The second part of the question is a budget consumption issue. Someone is overstepping the budget and not appropriately distributing it across a month.
(31:39) Q: We’re an eCommerce site only tracking sales as conversions, but are seeing a 500% conversion rate on one click/keyword. Can you convert more than once from one click or is this a bug?
A: This is a conversion tracking issue. Go to search terms and search by conversion rate then look at the conversion count setting – change it from “every” to “one”. It could also be an issue with the conversion tracking code placement.

Show Notes:
Two things happen when you launch a Google Ads campaign – either you get too much traffic or not enough traffic. In this episode, we're giving actionable steps that you can take whether you’re getting too much or too little that will help you tease out what’s causing the issue and fix your campaign. We also discuss search news about new site link design testing.
(5:06) Google Ads With Larger Sitelinks Block Design Also
(8:59) Too much traffic is typically caused by either a keyword quality issue, an auction issue (location and time), or a position and CPC issue (bidding too much)
(11:20) Are one or more keywords literally driving all your traffic?
Break them out into their own campaign to cap them (if automated), lower bids on them (if manual), or pause them if they’re no good.
(14:39) Are your search terms garbage?
What keywords are bad search terms coming from? Are you running broad or loose phrase? Or did you miss the mark on your targeting and you’re not in the right spot in the funnel?
(20:44) Are you running on too many auctions?
Too big with your location and time settings? Feel free to get choosier – better location, better times
(21:17) Bidding too much? Budget being spent way too fast?
Check absolute top percent and top percent and see if you can lower bids and still spend your full budget (but get more clicks overall).
(26:16) - Not enough auctions?
Are your location and time settings reasonable?
(28:47) Are you bidding too low?
Check absolute top percent, top percent, and impression share lost due to ad rank.
(31:00) Are your keywords too tight?
Check search volume for your area in the keyword planner. Are you only using exact match? Are your keywords super long-tail (4 or more words)?
(36:52) Final tips
For both problems, experiment with one change for a day or two and see if it helps. Sometimes it will take multiple days to solve. Plan on this being your first 30-45 days.
Remember, you can run multiple campaigns playing around with these changes and options and see if any of the campaigns perform better.
Ramp-up is real. Maybe it’s not low volume and it’s just ramp up or watch out maybe you’ll be in ramp-up for a week then all of the sudden you’ll start getting a ton of bad traffic and too much traffic will be your issue.

Show Notes:“Limited by budget” is a bid strategy status that's used when your average daily budget is lower than the recommended amount. But what if you’ve already maxed out your budget? In this episode, we’re discussing different strategies to make your traffic better by being more selective about the traffic you get. Remember, the goal is profitability and then growth. Shrink your campaign, get an awesome ROAS, then increase spend as much as you can.
(4:14) “If the market is bigger than your budget, then you have the ability to be more selective about what traffic you get inside of that market.” – Jason
(6:51) Review search terms for low quality coming from high volume and loose keywords
“It can be hard for a client to understand that even if they like a keyword and it makes sense for their business, there’s a difference between something making sense and it being a good keyword or an appropriate keyword vs. understanding we’re limited by budget and focusing on great keyword.” – Jason
(10:40) Possibly prune lower performing ad groups
“It’s such a joy to see clear metrics ad group to ad group. Pruning gives attention to what matters most.” - Chris
(13:30) Segment partners data
If you’re not aware of Search Partners, look it up. It might be eating up some of the budget you don’t need to be spending.
(16:17) Device performance
It’s as important as pausing an ad group or an unproductive keyword. Adjustments will depend on the type of business.
(19:23) Review location settings
Consider layering cities, zip codes, neighborhoods, and counties with radius.
(22:20) Review the schedule
Are you 24/7 or not? Not all times are of equal value.
(29:00) Age demographics
“It’s always the last thing I go to. I have no proof of how old the user actually is.” – Chris
(33:42) Income demographics
Make changes only after you have a significant amount of data to prove a certain demographic is showing high profitability and you’re severely limited by budget.
(35:47) Consider targeting specific audiences (based on observation data)
“If the observation shows great volume and conversion rate on the audience, it’s not that risky to target only that audience plus the keyword.” - Chris

Show Notes:This week we're doing a deep dive to help simplify a topic that affects everything you do inside Google Ads - conversions and conversion tracking. We discuss what generated the idea to do the episode, why conversion tracking is so important, what we’re seeing with our clients, ways to track conversions, and conversion settings.
(5:04) What comes to mind when you think of conversion tracking?
"It's the #1 missed simple thing in Google Ads. You set it once, then it provides data for the rest of your account." – Chris
"As good as you are at Google Ads, you’ll always be better if you can get more conversion data." – Jason
(9:18) Ways to track conversions
Website calls, call extension, website forms, sales
(12:40) Should I be tracking soft conversions such as newsletter signups, views of contact page, time on site, etc.?
"No, those things don’t matter. I don’t care about things that don’t’ generate revenue or aren’t a significant action for the client. They’re of interest, but not value-driven." – Chris
(20:48) Setting conversions up inside google ads account
The settings you choose will play out in the columns on the conversation actions page under "measurement."
(21:49) In the count column, should I use "count one conversion for conversion" or "count every conversion"?
"If you are an e-commerce advertiser, you can go with "count every conversion" because every conversion is a purchase. If you’re doing anything outside of e-commerce, go with "count one conversion" because every action is derived from an individual and that individual is one opportunity." – Chris
(24:46) "Include in conversions" – the most misunderstood column
"This is a trigger to determine if it’s a hard sale or soft lead. If you uncheck 'include in conversions,' it no longer tracks in the 'conversions' column; it moves the tracking 'all conversions' column." - Chris
(29:16) Click through conversion window
The window can be set up to 90 days, but 30 days is standard. Extending the conversion window allows someone who previously clicked on your ad without converting to return (even organically) and act, then attribute the conversion to the original click.
(34:50) Tag assistant and tracking a thank you page vs. clicks on a button
"I do use Tag Assist in Chrome. I like it but it’s just a starting point to let you know if you're having a big problem." - Jason
It's much easier to track thank you pages. A thank you page conversion occurs when someone fills out a form and goes to a thank you page that contains the conversion code. When they see that thank you page, the client gets a conversion. "Clicks on a button" conversions occur when a user clicks the button to submit a form.

Show Notes:Change is coming. Expanded Text Ads are phasing out next year and being replaced with responsive search ads. In this episode, we’re getting you up to date on the latest news and explaining what responsive search ads are and the performance we’ve seen from them. We’ll also do some higher-level thinking about the possibilities of responsive search ads.
(3:47) News – Expanded text ads are phasing out in June of 2022
(8:26) What are responsive ads?
“It’s basically you adding a bunch of information to a bunch of blank lines (headlines, descriptions, URL) about what your business does and why someone should click on your ad and Google picks the best one for that one auction.” – Chris
(16:11) What is pinning?
“It’s a compromise on Google’s behalf. Without pinning we would have no control. It’s a small ability to make decisions in a system that would otherwise be completely optimized based on Google’s algorithm.” - Chris
(23:50) What is ad strength?
Ad strength is measured according to 4 categories to optimize headlines – add more headlines, include popular keywords in your headlines, make your headlines more unique, or make your descriptions more unique.
(29:11) Our insights on responsive search ads
“If an ad group has 100 impressions and you have a responsive search ad in there and 2 or 3 expanded text ads, I would bet the responsive ad would get about 90% of those impressions.” - Jason
(32:28) Strong click through and conversion rates
“Simply the fact that it gives you feedback on your ad copy and rotates it out leads to better click-through rates. - Chris
(36:01) Jason’s idea for themed responsive ads
Themes would include categories like pricing, reputational, etc. that would allow you to see what connects best with search users.

(2:57) Q: If Google is already showing my ads for close variants of a keyword, what's the benefit of adding it as a keyword inside an ad group?
A: The reason I like to add keywords and not just rely on close variants is that I like the opportunity to make decisions for myself about if this is important to me. There are special opportunities you can take on. - Chris
(8:16) Q: If I'm targeting a specific location and my service keywords are triggering for anyone searching that search term from my chosen location, is there any benefit in adding geo keywords?
A: 100% yes, you should add geo keywords as their own keywords. - Jason
(11:22) Q: I've been having issues getting client ads to show up. I know it's a bad idea to search for client ads, but there are times when I want to physically test something with tracking or just see an ad.
A: Use the Ad Preview and Diagnosis tool. It simulates a Google result for keywords in specific locations. - Chris
I look at my Google Ads account and through the data, I can see what’s happening. - Jason
(24:19) Q: I'm only using manual CPC in my campaigns when I see a keyword that is below the first-page bid, I wonder if I should optimize my keywords to be on the first page or not.
A: The idea of a first-page bid is a misunderstood concept. It just means you’re below the standard for the first-page keyword, so expect lower traffic than if you bid more. I never think about 1st page or 2nd page, I just look at the data. - Jason
(33:40) Q: We were talking with an agency that creates a new campaign for every audience. I would love your input on the pros and cons of doing this.
A: That is tremendously complex and there are no pros to doing it that way. I have nothing good to share about it. - Chris
(38:13) Q: If one of our distributors pays for Google PPC against similar or exact keywords we ourselves are paying for to drive traffic to our website, does that hurt more than it benefits us?
A: Having another advertiser in the auction hurts you, but there will be other products similar to yours out there, so seeing your product through a distributor's ad still gives you double the chance of selling. - Jason

Show Notes:In this episode, the guys are addressing the polarizing topic of running brand campaigns in Google Ads covering both how to do it right as well as common problems that can fuel false success metrics.
Defining a brand campaign (3:07)
When you have someone searching for your company name (or anything exclusive to your company) and you have a keyword that targets it specifically and directs them to your website. It’s designed to capture the people looking for you. The advantage is that you control the messaging. - Chris
When competitors are bidding on your brand name (6:42)
Seeing a competitor positioned above you in organic results is the only justification for bidding on your own brand. The purpose of a brand campaign is to protect your company name. – Chris
Just because you don’t see someone out there when you do a search, it doesn’t mean no one is targeting your brand name or no one will start. So there might be a benefit to having a brand campaign going to get ahead. – Jason
Analyzing ROAS/Cost per lead with and without brand leads (10:49)
This is typically the biggest abuse we see, whether it's intentional or not. When you have a blend of brand searches inside your marketing search campaign, it loses its integrity by blending the value of a brand search with a non-brand.
Allowing brand keywords to show in sales/lead gen search campaign (21:49)
Mixing data is the biggest mistake you can make whether it's out of neglect or ignorance. Doing it wrong is ignoring what kind of traffic you're getting, how the keywords are reacting, and what the ecosystem looks like inside the search term report. To keep your data accurate, add your band name as negative keywords to your main search campaigns and run it as its own campaign.

Show Notes:
In this episode the guys are tackling the 5 most common questions they get from existing clients like why they aren’t seeing their ad, increasing spend, and ways to improve. They also discuss the new Google Ads three strike policy that goes in effect September 2021.
News - Google Ads three strike policy (3:58)
Should I spend more? (8:32)
“Are you happy with the results? Is it providing a good return to your business? If it is, then yes. I think we should. If it’s ‘I don’t know’ then we should make it more efficient for you first.” - Chris
Why don’t I see my ad? (16:14)
"The first problem is you may not be searching the right terms. Second comes back to money – we’re limited by budget or the bids are not high enough." - Chris
How can we improve? (22:00)
“How do you want to improve? What are the goals here? If you’re wanting a better CPC or better cost per lead, let’s keep looking at our narrow quality campaigns. If you want to find something new to get more and more leads, we’ll talk about the wide/explorer approach to Google Ads.” - Jason
Why isn’t It working like when we first started? (27:33)
"This is an auction system; you have to deal with competitors. Maybe the price of business has gone up. That’s the most common answer, not that I give, but that I actually find with the data.” - Jason
How can we get more? (33:46)
"The best answer of all is 'Let's spend more!'" - Chris

Show Notes:
This week the guys are discussing how they respond to the top 5 most common questions they get from new clients pre and post launch including how to determine cost per click, setting budget guidelines, making changes to the website, adding landing pages, how to track success, and bidding on competitor names.
What should my cost per click be? (10:57)
“I’m CPC agnostic. I don’t care if my CPC is 25 cents or $1000. What I care about is my cost per lead.” - Jason
How much should my budget be? (14:40)
“The budget should be whatever you can risk in your first month and not ruin your business.” - Chris
Please look at my website. What do we need to fix? (19:28)
“I get this question every time I get a new Google Ads client and 70% of the time there’s nothing to be worried about on the website.” - Jason
Should I have some landing pages created? (23:29)
“There are times I recommend landing pages, but for those of you that have a moderately decent website with service pages with local or product information, pricing, a phone number or a form - that’s usually the best way.” - Chris
Is it working? (27:33)
“It is ridiculous to expect your long-term results will be what you see during the first 30 days.” - Jason
How do we track things? (31:51)
“I break it down into the 3 ways we can track things – lead forms, phone calls on the website, and calls from phone ad extension clicks.” - Jason
Should I bid on my competitors’ name? (40:57)
“If you want to do it, it should be intentional.” - Jason

Show Notes:
Sometimes advertisers need to spend less in Google Ads. They could be busy already, they could be facing a cash crunch, or they could be simply entering their slow season. Regardless of the reason, when you need to lower your spend, you should be thinking about ways to lower spend but keep the campaign on and running, instead of pausing your campaign entirely. In this episode they guys talk about reasons why you shouldn’t turn off your campaign, and then they cover ways you can lower your spend temporarily without hurting your long-term results or ability to get your performance back to where it was before you lowered your spend. Lots of great strategy talk in this episode, and we hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening and enjoy the episode!

Show notes:
We've all been there. We're running a great Google Ads campaign for a client or employer, we're getting them great results, and then they say those three little words, "it's not working." This can be very frustrating. You're getting them great results, but they're not getting it or understanding the value you're providing. So what do you do? We've broken this problem down into three scenarios, based on how many conversions are being reported, and we give advice for how to convey the value in each situation. We hope this helps, and we hope you enjoy the episode!

Jason and Chris conclude their Google Ads display advertising series this week with a wrap up conversation focused on how they judge their display campaign results and determine if a display campaign is working. The answer to "is it working" depends on the reason why you're running a display campaign. Define your goal first.

Welcome back to the PSP. This week Jason and Chris are tackling the display network. Display network advertising is very different from search engine advertising, but the scale and the cheaper cost per click combine to offer a tremendous opportunity to any advertiser who can crack the code of the display network and figure out how to make it work. And the display is especially useful for getting hard to find, but super valuable, B2B leads. The guys do a deep dive on the display network and Jason shares some recent results from one of his display campaigns.
We hope this episode helps, and thanks for listening.
