 While managing a successful Google Ads campaign, why would you choose automated bidding instead of manual bidding?

  •         Because bid automation is a standard capability in the market that allows a lesser degree of precision, based on the conversion opportunity of each auction
  •         Because given the dynamic nature of Google’s auctions, the appropriate bid can often be a moving target that is challenging to reach at scale when using manual bidding
  •         Because users intent and their likelihood to complete valuable actions for your business hardly vary based on location, time, or device
  •         Because cross-referencing data with context to establish intent and set the appropriate bid is a more simple, direct task

 Why does automating your bid versus using manual bidding contribute to a successful Google Ads campaign?

  •         User intent and likelihood to complete valuable actions for your business do not vary based on location, time, or device.
  •         The appropriate bid can often be a static target that is challenging to reach.
  •         If you do not bid efficiently, you could miss valuable conversions.
  •         The customer journey has become more complex and therefore bids should be based on general user behavior.

 Why is using the performance targets feature after utilizing the Performance Planner recommended?

  •         This practice allows you to receive detailed insights from Google Analytics with regards to how website behavior is impacted after applying Performance planner recommendations.
  •         This practice allows you to monitor targets set in the Performance Planner and to receive alerts and recommendations when a campaign is not on track.
  •         This practice allows you to ensure seasonality and budget reallocation are accounted for future periods so you can prevent your campaigns from becoming “Limited by Budget”.
  •         This practice allows you to fully automate all aspects of account management to improve the likelihood of meeting performance targets.

 Why should campaigns with different marketing objectives be separated into different Performance Planner plans?

  •         So that spend is not reallocated between two different marketing objectives
  •         To avoid any potential keyword duplicates between different marketing objectives
  •         So that seasonal trends can be better identified for each individual marketing objective
  •         To prevent campaigns from becoming “Limited by Budget”

 Why should your business use Performance Planner?

  •         It validates budgets against other vendors in the same market.
  •         It is the only ad budgeting software on the market.
