Instead of YouTube here, go over to the left and click on content
JOHN:and then go to where ads showed.
JOHN:Now what we want to look at is an abnormally high amount of click the
JOHN:rate, and sometimes it's not here where you're seeing your clicks come through.
JOHN:So I've been doing a pretty good job at spam.
JOHN:Spam compliance, I guess I would say.
JOHN:But that's, that's kind of how this is gonna look is you're
JOHN:gonna see an abnormality by saying like, that can't happen.
JOHN:No one watches, no five individual people see five individual ads that
JOHN:all five click and all five convert.
JOHN:It is a way to see that.
JOHN:Now what to do if YouTube is bringing in spam leads?
JOHN:Most of the time you have to look at the content area and see if
JOHN:there is a high degree of click.
JOHN:The rate abnormally high, your average click, the rate on
JOHN:YouTube is gonna go above 1.5%.
JOHN:Rarely.
JOHN:Oh, it's a how are you targeting on YouTube?
JOHN:Do you use the same logic on YouTube for curd as you do on search?
JOHN:Yeah.
JOHN:So that's the bottom of the funnel.
JOHN:Yes.
JOHN:Cadence.
JOHN:So the where I go bottom of the funnel on YouTube is very, very,
JOHN:very specific towards like the brand name, like of a product.
JOHN:If we're reselling something or something that is, exactly what I would use
JOHN:on search, I will use that in a dsk or what they search recently or what
JOHN:they're currently in the market for.
JOHN:I wouldn't necessarily use bottom of the funnel to an affinity.
JOHN:Sometimes bottom the funnel to an InMarket audience.
JOHN:If it's like just completely obvious, like what we're doing right now is my bottom
JOHN:of the funnel audience to the people that are looking for an SEO and SM agency.
JOHN:Perfect.
JOHN:That's bottom of the funnel.
JOHN:I guess that's middle of the funnel.
JOHN:They know that they need some sort of online presence in online marketing,
JOHN:and they might be looking for seo, maybe some ppc, and I'm here saying
JOHN:like, here's all the ways that PVC is amazing and what and how to market it.
JOHN:Yeah, usually for Bob and the funnel, you're looking for hyper specificity,
JOHN:not necessarily who they are.
JOHN:You're looking for what are they doing, and then that's when
JOHN:you're trying to insert yourself.
JOHN:Now for spam leads Here, I'll I'll see if I can find some spam in our account.
JOHN:Let's do that.
JOHN:This would be fine.
JOHN:There's John, before that, I'm sorry, a Neil had a, a comment, and
JOHN:I think it it's relevant in here.
JOHN:Uh, He says funnel stages can be talked about in terms of audience and
JOHN:their awareness level or at content.
JOHN:. Yeah.
JOHN:And it's usually a mix of both.
JOHN:And like with their awareness, you should be matching with your ad content.
JOHN:That's exactly right.
JOHN:What do you prefer?
JOHN:Cuon is, uh oh, actually I do all three.
JOHN:I like to use people search recently people in market and dsk
JOHN:those three, usually one there.
JOHN:And sometimes my affinity bettered to my in market, which was kind of surprising.
JOHN:But I like to test all three in different ad groups.
JOHN:That's usually the best way to do it.
JOHN:So check this out.
JOHN:Let's see if we can actually find some spam.
JOHN:All right, here's our account and let's do this last seven days.
JOHN:And you'll see our, it clicks an engaged view conversions, which is so sweet.
JOHN:Oh, it's matched.
JOHN:I love it.
JOHN:Uh, It's amazing.
JOHN:Cool.
JOHN:So let's do this inside of YouTube here.
JOHN:Go over to the left and click on content and then go to where ads showed.
JOHN:Now what we want to look at is an abnormally high amount of click
JOHN:the rate, and sometimes it's not.
JOHN:Where you're seeing your cooks come through.
JOHN:So I've been doing a pretty good job at spam.
JOHN:Compliance, I guess I would say.
JOHN:But if you look at like last 50, for example, is there one that
JOHN:has like a 70, 80 or 90% click rate with more like five clicks?
JOHN:Or where the conversions are coming through?
JOHN:So here's one.
JOHN:We have a hundred percent view rate, which is an odd one.
JOHN:You have 12 impressions and three clicks, which is odd.
JOHN:Now, we did not get a conversion from.
JOHN:So that's okay.
JOHN:And our conversions are, we're not really getting spammed right now,
JOHN:so it's hard to tell anybody have a, a YouTube account that's gonna spam
JOHN:right now, or a YouTube campaign?
JOHN:Does anybody have one?
JOHN:I can.
JOHN:Okay, this is not a glitch.
JOHN:I'm interrupting because I need to remind you that I'm always
JOHN:looking for people to join our team.

JOHN:that I know what I'm talking about.
JOHN:If you have questions, comments, concerns, or confessions, hit me below the comments.
JOHN:And now back to your regularly scheduled.
JOHN:. Well, what we're gonna see is like five conversions from five
JOHN:clicks, from five impressions.
JOHN:So you have a hundred percent view rate, a hundred percent.
JOHN:A click the rate, a hundred percent conversion rate.
JOHN:That's an indication of spam, like you'll be able to identify that here.
JOHN:If I go back, I don't even know, I'm just gonna try to see if I can find one here.
JOHN:We haven't gotten spammed yet, so it's, might be impossible.
JOHN:Yeah, these are all one click and one conversion.
JOHN:But anyway, you'll see, scenario that looks like this, but it's
JOHN:also more than two convers.
JOHN:That's where you know you're getting spammed because that person is paying
JOHN:someone to sit there and watch all the ads on their channel, click on every
JOHN:single ad and fill out every single form.
JOHN:So you're gonna be abnormally high.
JOHN:You wanna purposely see kind of junk engagement, honestly, which
JOHN:is kinda kind of sounds stupid.
JOHN:Hey, look at that.
JOHN:There's an engaged view conversion, no clicks and a conversion.
JOHN:Boom.
JOHN:I love that thing.
JOHN:Engage view is amazing.
JOHN:But , that's kind of how this is gonna look is you're gonna see an abnormality
JOHN:by saying like, that can't happen.
JOHN:No one watch, no five individual people see five individual ads and
JOHN:all five click and all five converts.
JOHN:It's a way to see that.
JOHN:Septics says, Is it better to measure audience intent to show bottom of the
JOHN:follow content or top with remarking with remarking works anyways you know
JOHN:what's funny is I honestly, I'm a huge proponent of testing everything.
JOHN:When we tested inside of here, my audiences.
JOHN:I had these here.
JOHN:So web advertising services in market.
JOHN:This is a, a segment.
JOHN:I did the ones that Google found.
JOHN:I didn't do any dsk just because Google ads.
JOHN:Imagine everyone that logs into Google Ads.
JOHN:It's kind of everybody, but if I can see like in market for Google advertising,
JOHN:one step below the funnel of what they're doing and what Google says sees to be
JOHN:more of an in market and we saw that the conversions were coming from these two.
JOHN:So I had left these two on Google advertising in market
JOHN:for Google advertising and in market for SU and SEO services.
JOHN:But most bottom of the funnel I could go that still had the volume that I needed.
JOHN:So that's where I, I like to test them all against each other, all in one big go.
JOHN:Like you tend in a room fight who wins?
JOHN:You're gonna be right and wrong, but what's nice is it's a lot better than
JOHN:just being wrong , if that makes sense.
JOHN:The other topic, I guess for both the touch niches, meaning heavy
JOHN:remarketing, is it work to run display marketing for low low cost services?
JOHN:Yes.
JOHN:And Caden, do you know if that's for lead January commerce or both?
JOHN:That was more for uh, both.
JOHN:Yeah, so here's the thing.
JOHN:No, I would weight the CPA differences between your remarketing and your top or,
JOHN:and your, and your cold traffic campaign.
JOHN:If your CPA for remarketing is higher than your cold traffic campaign, reduced
JOHN:budget, if it's still higher, shut it off.
JOHN:What I mean by that is you're looking at did a person is, is it more expensive
JOHN:to bring a person that was uninterested back to make them interested versus
JOHN:going, just getting another interested.
JOHN:It's a very simple calculation.
JOHN:If I'm delivering a hundred dollars leads and $150 remarketing, drop
JOHN:your budget and remarketing.
JOHN:If it can't get underneath a hundred, spend.
JOHN:$100 to get a new one rather than one 50 to bring one back after two
JOHN:conversions, you get a free lead.
JOHN:That's how, that's because you spend an extra hundred dollars
JOHN:trying to bring those people back.
JOHN:That's a good way to think about it.
JOHN:First step, reduce it.
JOHN:Second step, turn it off.
JOHN:Obviously make your, This is just saying all things are good.
JOHN:Ad copies, good audience is good.
JOHN:There's nothing, wrong.
JOHN:It just is more expensive to bring a person back.
JOHN:That happens a lot especially if your time lag is one or two days and is
JOHN:one to two clicks before they convert.
JOHN:If you have a really short sales cycle or lead generation cycle, if your
JOHN:time lag is really, really short, it's like, Hey, if this person googles
JOHN:something, click and then convert.
JOHN:Google something, click and convert.
JOHN:Maybe a bad idea to say Google something, click in convert.
JOHN:They're like, Please come back.
JOHN:Just go move on to the next person.
JOHN:It might be, it should be less expensive.
JOHN:We did it.
JOHN:We made through all the questions.
JOHN:It was five minutes spare.
JOHN:Well, just to say that little exercise that you did about guessing if it was
JOHN:top, bottom, or middle of the funnel, only very few people guessed right.
JOHN:again, that was Yeah.
JOHN:Right.
JOHN:That's my way of thinking about it and , I'm right and wrong, but it's a
