It doesn't matter what the client spends, everyone for some
Speaker:reason falls into the same issue.
Speaker:Where Roaz looks good must be fine.
Speaker:We're following this methodology that no one else.
Speaker:So this works.
Speaker:It's been proven time, time, time again.
Speaker:What we learned is that even with the most accurate match rates, and your
Speaker:customer has uploaded and identify 19,000 ti or 20,000 times when the actual
Speaker:conversion comes in, Google says, huh.
Speaker:I don't know if that's a new or used or new or returning customer.
Speaker:So just throw it in the end.
Speaker:You don't have to get down to like, well this keyword didn't kind of
Speaker:produce a lot of results in the last two weeks, but had a slightly
Speaker:lower CPM the previous two weeks.
Speaker:No, that matters.
Speaker:It doesn't.
Speaker:The main thing whether you're spending 20 grand a month and ane you and I were
Speaker:talking about this yesterday, I think, , we're talking about high spend clients.
Speaker:This, the client that spends what is 20 grand a month?
Speaker:A quarter million a year on.
Speaker:. So that's a quarter million.
Speaker:That's $250,000 a year.
Speaker:That's 20 grand a month.
Speaker:That's not a small spend client.
Speaker:It's not a big, big, big spend client, but 22,000 is a lot bigger
Speaker:than the three or four K spend.
Speaker:Clients I've seen 5k from what accounts in better shape than this?
Speaker:It doesn't matter what the client spends, everyone's for some reason falls into
Speaker:the same issue where Roaz looks good, let's be fine, and then no one's smart
Speaker:enough to pick it apart and say, wait a.
Speaker:, who are these people we're spending all this money on?
Speaker:So , it's don't be nervous when you hop into a 20 grand account.
Speaker:You can still follow the same thing.
Speaker:Even our accounts right now that we're looking at, it's
Speaker:like, take a macro step back.
Speaker:We need new customers.
Speaker:Are they coming from where we're marketing from?
Speaker:Realistically, , if you were actually the person interested in
Speaker:this product, how would you find it?
Speaker:Would you Google the brand name the first time?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:, that's what we have to service is take yourself out of the Google ad hole,
Speaker:find yourself in a realistic scenario from an individual's perspective,
Speaker:and then verify with data afterwards.
Speaker:And, , let's about, we got your hand raised.
Speaker:Yeah, I had a question.
Speaker:You said something interesting that they're on Walmart and then they
Speaker:buy the product and then they come on Google and convert and all of
Speaker:a sudden they're a new customer.
Speaker:Customer.
Speaker:We can't avoid that, can we?
Speaker:Well, you can't buy by going after the brand, the least.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:In that sense, yeah.
Speaker:But in terms of cult, what if it's, yeah.
Speaker:In terms of brand, then Yeah, you can, yeah.
Speaker:Now, when 80% of your spend on brand, you'll never, you know, you're, you're
Speaker:trying to get those people, , and the worst part is that when we're
Speaker:talking about new customers, To the company and new customers to Google.
Speaker:Those are way two different things.
Speaker:What that really means is new customer to the company first detected by Google.
Speaker:It's not new customer by Google.
Speaker:That's a, Google should call it first detected customer.
Speaker:That's what they should, because that'd be the truth.
Speaker:You can, but So how would you differentiate a customer generated by,
Speaker:let's just say YouTube and one that just came from Walmart in a brand campaign?
Speaker:You wouldn't be able to then would.
Speaker:Well in YouTube you can start to exclude website visitors if you wanted
Speaker:to, and run a YouTube remarketing or YouTube rsa, or you can segment
Speaker:them out hard if you want to.
Speaker:Would you need to as a different story?
Speaker:But if you wanted to take all of your existing website audiences, and all
Speaker:of your purchasers , and add a negative 90% bid adjustment or excluded.
Speaker:Mm-hmm.
Speaker:, uh, on all those people on YouTube and shopping, you'll push
Speaker:those out as much as possible.
Speaker:And then your brand campaign, you can leave it on a small spend to verify
Speaker:that people are still interested in your brand campaign, or sorry, your brand.
Speaker:So when you're like, Hey, have they've been to my website?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:Have they brought from us in the last year?
Speaker:Cuz I uploaded my customer list.
Speaker:No, no.
Speaker:You can, have they seen any of my ads before or has they even
Speaker:been to my YouTube channel?
Speaker:No, and no.
Speaker:You can exclude all those individual ones and make it as cold as possible.
Speaker:, and then when you run a small, let's say 10% of your brand and say, yeah,
Speaker:this brand is at 2000 x row ads.
Speaker:Let's keep pushing.
Speaker:How are your global numbers and how's mer That's where you can,
Speaker:you don't necessarily need to.
Speaker:, the conversion in Google has to prove that theory.
Speaker:You can have a small test pilot inside of Google, which
Speaker:is a small 10% brand campaign.
Speaker:Look at the direct, look at organic, look at overall MBR R and then look
Speaker:at site traffic and, actual revenue comparing week over week, year over year.
Speaker:Caden, what's up?
Speaker:, I was just gonna say, at the end of the day, does it really just come down to.
Speaker:What you track of each user, like when it comes down to like the
Speaker:name, phone number, whatever, doesn't matter where they came from.
Speaker:, just so the client can know.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Like, so and so came from Google for the first time because we didn't get their
Speaker:information from like, for example, a Walmart store or something like that.
Speaker:You can, yeah.
Speaker:, Google's gonna basically just ignore anything.
Speaker:, you give it anyway, even if it lies.
Speaker:Wait a minute.
Speaker:, Anil, what was the company that we just spoke to last week that he was wondering
Speaker:why new customer acquisition wasn't on.
Speaker:Yeah, that's, Yes.
Speaker:I think so.
Speaker:Like, one sec.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So watch this, everybody, because here's where things do not make sense anymore.
Speaker:, here's what we note to be true.
Speaker:, our instincts are 10 times more valuable than Google.
Speaker:I promise you.
Speaker:Here's what I mean.
Speaker:Yeah, so says, Hey, I have an AS integration and I daily through API
Speaker:upload every single customer that ever comes in, To my, my company ever.
Speaker:And I upload these things daily and the segment list.
Speaker:And this is created from this API connection created and through the
Speaker:Google Ads app, I have a 100% match rate.
Speaker:Okay?
Speaker:100%.
Speaker:Everyone is seen, there's 20,000 people in here.
Speaker:And you can see on search 19,000 are capture identified.
Speaker:And this is a list that is uploaded daily and keeps getting.
Speaker:Why are we not using new customer acquisition or bid only for new customers?
Speaker:And then I say, that's a really great question.
Speaker:When you look at the new versus returning, did you know that
Speaker:in the last 30 days I have.
Speaker:204 that Google says, ah, fuck it.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:So what do we know?
Speaker:We have a match rate of 100%.
Speaker:It's uploaded daily and every single one of my customer list is
Speaker:in there and we are like, ah-ha.
Speaker:And Google still doesn't give a shit . So when I bid only for new customers
Speaker:and kill 200 my conversions, nope.
Speaker:When I bid higher for my potential new customers and bid higher 33%
Speaker:of the time, potentially 80% of the time, and simply just increased my
Speaker:C P C and I still couldn't verify was it a new customer or not.
Speaker:He goes, oh yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker:Don't do that . So what we learned is that even with the most accurate
Speaker:match rates, and your customer has uploaded it and identify 19,000
Speaker:ti or 20,000 times when the actual conversion comes in, Google says, huh.
Speaker:I don't know if that's newer or used or newer return customer.
Speaker:So just throw it in the unknowns , and, but by the way, I'm gonna give you
Speaker:a bad optic score when you're not getting hired from your customer.
Speaker:So , to kind of go into deep illustration, Caden, yes.
Speaker:Like the, the way for us to do this is right by trying to push it out all the
Speaker:way, or by at least not making an effort to capture the most likely scenario
Speaker:that's going to happen when a person wants to purchase a new, , a new product.
Speaker:I've been using this so much that.
Speaker:For example, I even raised a red flag with our big company today and I said,
Speaker:Hey, by the way, we're over concentrated.
Speaker:He goes, what do you mean?
Speaker:I said, well, yesterday you made a total of 921 first time customers, and
Speaker:we have a $90 cost per acquisition.
Speaker:So we spent 83,000, made, 81,000, and we need to be under a hundred dollars.
Speaker:Nailed it.
Speaker:And 921 convergence.
Speaker:Almost a thousand new customers yesterday.
Speaker:Awesome.
Speaker:By the way, the S C M channels, , Actually know what here, how about this?
Speaker:The S SCM channels even not even the brand yesterday was
Speaker:responsible for half of those.
Speaker:The one shopping campaigns, we're responsible for about one fourth,
Speaker:one third, between one third and one fourth of all of their new customers.
Speaker:Now, I have a horrible cack on this one.
Speaker:It's 158.
Speaker:I'm $58 over.
Speaker:I don't care.
Speaker:Globally, we're fine.
Speaker:And I know that the 90 is because those people are gonna come into
Speaker:like the, , what's it called?
Speaker:Non-paid, like, unattributed First Island, there's 50 customers there
Speaker:directly, which they can't tell.
Speaker:There's another 116 customers there.
Speaker:You're not gonna see anything.
Speaker:That's why Global Mer Global Fact makes the most amount of sense.
Speaker:But we know that regardless of the results, when we look at everything,
Speaker:when you apply this type of methodology, When you apply what I'm teaching you
Speaker:here today about how to look to identify where exactly are these new customers
Speaker:most likely to come from, and then measure the appropriate thing to measure,
Speaker:not just that individual campaign and grow, as you'll find that this publicly
Speaker:traded company solutions eight is bringing up more than half of their
Speaker:customers every day and they're running.
Speaker:Huh?
Speaker:They're running, , bliss Point.
Speaker:They're running Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook.
Speaker:We're not even running YouTube.
Speaker:They're running Trio, VE Zeta Linear Streaming.
Speaker:Hulu.
Speaker:We're doing half of the, , nine different areas.
Speaker:We're running one of them of the 10, so one outta 10, and we're more
Speaker:than half of all our conversions because we're following this
Speaker:methodology that no one else does.
Speaker:So this works.
Speaker:It's been proven time, time, time again.
Speaker:But all we have to do is when we evaluate something, take just a realistic approach
Speaker:to it and you're, you'll find out that you're like, oh, you know what?
Speaker:It didn't really kind of make sense to, do too much, kind of
Speaker:automated re marketing targeting for new customers wasn't working.
Speaker:Why's still not happy?
Speaker:Metrics don't line up.
Speaker:Take that kind of full approach, but, Look, if you're conversion tracking,
Speaker:feed the beast of what it needs.
Speaker:Make sure we're tracking everything we possibly can.
Speaker:Make sure it's healthy enough with a daily aspen, not stretched
Speaker:too thin, very consolidated.
Speaker:And make sure that this is something that is targeted to, Hey, I know that
Speaker:if we target the right people with the good YouTube message at the right time
Speaker:consistently, we should see scale.
Speaker:And I know Katie, you have your hand raised, but also this is the
Speaker:reason why we just got more as.
Speaker:Like, Hey, Mer still moving up and we're spending more.
Speaker:Keep going.
Speaker:Here's go from 120, let's give you $130,000 this month.
Speaker:We thought it was 180, but then that's why I was like, let's
Speaker:just wait till, Ben verifies.
Speaker:But that's still going up and up and up.
Speaker:That's never happened before.
Speaker:The reason why they hired us is cuz they couldn't make this happen.
Speaker:And now it's working with the strategies that I've shared with you all today.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:, real quick and just for the, cuz I know this was kind of like a free day.
Speaker:It's like, , when the substitute teacher's in it doesn't wanna, doesn't
Speaker:want teach that day and they roll into VHS T because they didn't work.
