PPC Live The Podcast - The F*ck ups that led to Triumphs – Details, episodes & analysis

#ppcchat Slack discussion that runs on Tuesdays at 5pm GMT - Led by Julie Bacchini (@NeptuneMoon)

Q1 Much like Twitter before this, after their change in ownership and subsequent policy changes, do these changes on Meta cause you to feel any differently about the platform, either personally or professionally?

Q2  Has any of last week’s happenings with Meta given you pause over continuing to recommend advertising on their platform? If so, why and how? And if not, why not?

Q3 Do you think as advertising managers we have any responsibility in where our clients or brands advertise? Or do we just do what the client/brand wants no matter what?

Q4 Is “brand safety” a concern of yours and/or your clients or stakeholders? If so, is it a primary concern?

Q5 Which ad platforms do you think are the “safest” for brands to be advertising on today? What makes you feel they are safer than others?

Thank you for listening!

Q1 What do you think the ideal workload is for a PPC professional - how many accounts can one person reasonably be responsible for and on how many platforms? Do you have a hard limit on how many accounts you will manage at once?

Q2 What have you done if you find yourself with an unreasonable workload?

Q3 Do you have any standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place for setting up and/or managing PPC accounts? If so, generally what is included in yours and if not, why not?

Q4 How do you handle a client or stakeholder adding to your current workload? Particularly if what they want to add will push you past your reasonable limit?

Thank you for listening!

Q1 How important do you think expectation setting is for clients/stakeholders when it comes to PPC?

Q2 Do you actively set expectations for your clients and/or stakeholders when it comes to PPC initiatives? If not, why not? If so, how and when do you do it?

Q3 Do you have any kind of standard language you use (either written or in conversation) when setting client/stakeholder expectations or do you do it specifically to each situation where it is needed?

Q4 Has your expectation setting language or process changed with the rise of automation and/or the loss of data from things like iOS 14.5? If so, how has it changed?

Q5 What is your biggest frustration/what do you wish clients/stakeholders understood better when it comes to today’s PPC?

Q1  Let’s start off by sharing our overall reactions to this year’s Google Marketing Live event. How are you feeling/what are you thinking one week later?

Q2 What was the thing that was announced or talked about that you found most interesting? Why is it interesting to you?

Q3 Is there anything you thought for sure would be discussed and/or announced at this year’s Google Marketing Live that was not?

Questions for Ginny:

The on-device conversions - HOW will this actually work? The presentation had no detail only “it works”?

Can you give some more detail on how the new version of responsive ads will work with pulling information from your website? How will this work vs. DSA? Can you specify which pages should be used for the new RSA crawling feature?

Welcome to this week's episode of the PPC tat Roundup. Today's episode was a unique one.  We didn't quite have the usual discussion where Julie asks some questions and we give expert answers. There was the Google marketing live. It was a conference that happened live on Google as in, there were people there.

I saw pictures of Christi, Olson of Microsoft and Kirk Williams and Frederick Vallaeys and,  several other people. So they were actually out there, but there were lots of chats on Twitter, and I joined them. I joined the chat as we discussed the updates that were announced and shared the ones that we most interesting to me. 

So I give you here a roundup of reactions mainly from Julie Bacchini, Amalia Fowler and Kirk William and a few others.  

Thank you for listening!

Q1 Which keyword match types are you currently targeting in your Google Ads campaigns? Why are you using or not using the available match types (broad, phrase or exact)?

Q2 Are you currently running campaigns with segmented match types in Google Ads? If so, why and if not, why not?

Q3 Part of the argument for not segmenting match types in today’s Google Ads accounts is that the machine learning (ML) does better if you don’t segment. Has this been your experience?

Q4 Have you changed the way you set expectations for newly unsegmented or existing unsegmented campaigns in Google Ads?

Thank you for listening!
