Hi Jhon, I'm using this strategy for the first week clicks were good and there were a few good conversions but on to the second week impressions reduced significantly and today not even a single click. Daily budget isn't getting consumed. Is this a thing to worry about or should I give it some time?
Hey John, I got the point that broad with automatic bidding strategy is working great! But what about the cpc, with this strategy, are you getting high cpc or low? Also if keywords have high cpc to begin with, will this strategy still work? Coz then cpl might boom!!??
Hey John , how do you decide whether or not to deploy this strategy compared to the traditional keyword research + skag strategy? Does it depend on competition ( e.g high cpc cost) ?Also , when you do this do you always start with maximize conversions or do you start with manual cpc to drive conversion volume first , and then layer in maximize conversions?
Hey Mike! So, I normally deploy this strategy first if I don’t need a specific position on the SERP or, if I have a smaller budget. If you are in a highly competitive market, have a larger budget and can bid #1 or #2 for “best attorney near me”, do that instead. But if you have a family law firm that has wide specialities and a $2K per month budget, bid broad for “family lawyer” and you will find all the odd ways people search for that outside of everyone else’s high bids for specific keywords.
Oh! Also, I only use maximize conversions for this. It will see what works and what doesn’t and adjust. Manual will always just give you any search term regardless of user intent and doesn’t learn how to maximize the conversions.
@@johnmoran5680 Hi John , thanks for the response. 1 more question to follow up , do you put a cpa target to that maximize conversions bidding strategy ?
Hi Mike! Only if there is a large amount of traffic and high demand. This way, I don’t need the campaign to learn as hard and I can scoop up a constant inflow of low hanging fruit.
Hi Bojan! Not really actually. I found that tCPA usually locks ourselves into a finite audience that decays over time and stops learning, so, I simply control my CPA by daily ad spend, so, that it can still learn from new unknown audiences rather than simply avoid them all together.
Question, I have a smart shopping and it doesn’t always gets consistent sales should I set a TCPA or first let it reach a minimum amount of conversions in the campaign first before setting a TCPA I’ve had it running for almost 30 days and almost has 50 conversions
Got it. Then, your smart shopping campaign is actually remarketing your pmax traffic. That is why there’s odd results. But, you said a smart shopping campaign right? So I assume your saying tROAS, not tcpa, right?
Hi John, thanks for this video. What I would give to be a part of these calls! I've been seeing the same thing for my campaigns (i'm in the chiro space). Most of the conversions we see don't make any sense based on the search terms. We also see a lot of competitor terms like you mentioned, and it concerns me since we're accepting phone calls. How has your team been dealing with the competitor terms? I recently tried moving to phrase/exact match and the campaigns stalled. It's mind blowing
Yup! You can run a competitor campaign if you would like and use negatives in the broad for those competitor names and use the positive version of those keywords as a phrase match in the competitor campaign, then, use maximize clicks so you don’t try to win a bidding war for someone else’s brand name but still pulls it out of your broad campaign.
broad match rules if you know how to use it correctly, phrase and exact are for chumps. They all singing off the same hymn sheet. Use broad match correctly and it works a charm.
*I didn’t realize how powerful broad match could be when used correctly.*
Would you recommend Broad match only or Broad + Exact in the same ad group?

Client that can't get conversions - is there a google tag manager which could implement conversions via js?

Also, if this strategy works for limited area targeting or also for big areas?

Were these campaigns maximize clicks or maximize conversions?
Such great videos, guys! How do you use negative Keywords? When and what kind of match type for those? Thanks!
Hi John, I noticed that you use Maximize Conversions on all campaigns shown in the examples. Do you switch this to tCPA down the road?
Hi Bojan! Not really actually. I found that tCPA usually locks ourselves into a finite audience that decays over time and stops learning, so, I simply control my CPA by daily ad spend, so, that it can still learn from new unknown audiences rather than simply avoid them all together.

What other channels are running traffic to your website?
@@johnmoran5680 I have a PMax I just started like 1 week ago and I also do Microsoft
