I wanted to explain why it can be difficult to manage
kasim:
00:00:14
budgets instead of Lord Google.
kasim:
00:00:16
You'll notice this particular campaign.
kasim:
00:00:18
I'm looking at the brand campaign and you can see 9 73 spent Sunday three
kasim:
00:00:22
grand spent Monday 1500 spent Tuesday, 2000 spent Wednesday 1800 spent
kasim:
00:00:27
Dwayne's day 16, Friday thousands.
kasim:
00:00:29
Now here's why I'm bringing this up.
kasim:
00:00:31
Google.
kasim:
00:00:32
Has a limited inventory and the inventory is cyclical in a lot of
kasim:
00:00:35
ways and there's ebbs and flows and spikes and peaks and valleys.
kasim:
00:00:37
And Google's actually done a pretty good job, I think at managing
kasim:
00:00:40
their inventory, they know what they have and when they have it.
kasim:
00:00:42
So when you give Google a daily spend, let's see, give Google a thousand bucks.
kasim:
00:00:45
What they're gonna do is they're gonna multiply a thousand dollars
kasim:
00:00:48
by 30.4 to get your monthly budget.
kasim:
00:00:50
And then they're going to say, great, I'm gonna spend that this month.
kasim:
00:00:54
And so what's interesting is if you're spending 30 grand a month,
kasim:
00:00:57
it's not a thousand dollars a day.
kasim:
00:00:58
It could be $5,000 today and tomorrow.
kasim:
00:01:00
And then it's going to bottom out and Google does that because it
kasim:
00:01:03
has a sense of, okay, well, I have this inventory available to me now.
kasim:
00:01:07
There's a big spike in inventory or whatever, and I'm also guessing, right?
kasim:
00:01:10
Because I don't know how they're all going to this bill, but this is important
kasim:
00:01:12
for you to know because Google is doing this on a month, over month basis.
kasim:
00:01:17
doing this calculation for the next 30.4 days.
kasim:
00:01:21
So when you make a budget change, Google's not averaging that out
kasim:
00:01:25
within the month that you're in.
kasim:
00:01:26
So like right now I'm recording this video on May 25th.
kasim:
00:01:29
Okay.
kasim:
00:01:29
Let's say that I changed my budget from a thousand dollars a
kasim:
00:01:31
day to $2,000 a day on May 25th.
kasim:
00:01:34
Google is going take $2,000 a day, multiply it by 30.4 and then say, okay,
kasim:
00:01:37
this is the budget for the next 30.4 days.
kasim:
00:01:39
Well, I am managing my budget on a month, over month basis,
kasim:
00:01:42
the way that everybody does.
kasim:
00:01:43
But let's say that Google decides to frontline.
kasim:
00:01:45
The increase in budget.
kasim:
00:01:46
Google could spend $20,000 in a day.
kasim:
00:01:48
It's unusual to see spikes that high, but it happens, but it happens.
kasim:
00:01:52
Big spikes happen.
kasim:
00:01:53
I've seen the spike that that's the significant, I don't want to
kasim:
00:01:55
overstate what I'm talking about.
kasim:
00:01:57
They used to have a rule.
kasim:
00:01:58
It was like 300% and then they took the lid off and now it's just like,
kasim:
00:02:01
whatever we decide, whatever we want.
kasim:
00:02:03
So if you make, what I'm saying is if you make a budget change at
kasim:
00:02:05
the end of the month, you could actually find yourself far exceeded.
kasim:
00:02:09
The budget that you've allocated for that month, because you don't know
kasim:
00:02:12
when Google is going to make the expenditures that they're going to make.
kasim:
00:02:14
And what ends up making things a little bit more difficult is you
kasim:
00:02:18
could be in a position to where you don't end up hitting that budget.
kasim:
00:02:20
So, we used to have these rules.
kasim:
00:02:22
We had, we, we tell people, especially with smart shopping, we'd
kasim:
00:02:24
say don't increase your budget any more than 10 to 20% week over week.
kasim:
00:02:27
It's not true.
kasim:
00:02:28
Performance Mexico changed everything and changed everything
kasim:
00:02:29
because Google can go outbound.
kasim:
00:02:31
So there's massive budget increases that are available and accessible to you.
kasim:
00:02:34
That may not impact the quality of your campaigns, but they may
kasim:
00:02:38
which is really frustrating here.
kasim:
00:02:39
So, like one of the questions you'd asked yourself is what's
kasim:
00:02:41
the time lag, meaning when are you going to experience , this change?
kasim:
00:02:44
Where are you going to feel the impacts?
kasim:
00:02:45
If you know, gosh, it takes 60 days before.
kasim:
00:02:49
My outbound traffic really turns into potential inbound traffic.
kasim:
00:02:54
So, the, the impressions, the brand building that I'm doing I'm not
kasim:
00:02:56
going to experience the results from that for 60 days, that knowledge
kasim:
00:03:00
alone should help you begin to pace your budgets, according to your
kasim:
00:03:05
expectations what's the bidding strategy.
kasim:
00:03:07
If you're a target CPA and.
kasim:
00:03:09
You're not spending any more already.
kasim:
00:03:10
It doesn't matter what your budget is.
kasim:
00:03:11
It doesn't matter if you can spend anything because you're
kasim:
00:03:13
there you've hit the ceiling.
kasim:
00:03:14
What day of the month is it?
kasim:
00:03:15
Where are we positioned?
kasim:
00:03:16
I'm trying to think about what else, , what's the account performance.
kasim:
00:03:19
There's other variables that come into play.
kasim:
00:03:20
And so you can increase budgets a little bit more significantly instead
kasim:
00:03:23
of performance max, and you can, instead of other campaigns and accounts, but
kasim:
00:03:26
You have to be cautious and you have to be willing to let Google jump around.
kasim:
00:03:29
Like I just showed him the little screen-share cause it'll bounce
kasim:
00:03:31
all over the place and it'll spend according to what it thinks it
kasim:
00:03:33
needs on a month over month basis.
kasim:
00:03:36
So your daily budget, I guess this is the take home message.
kasim:
00:03:38
And I could have gotten here a lot sooner.
kasim:
00:03:39
Forgive me, your daily budget is actually a monthly budget.
kasim:
00:03:44
It's whatever you've articulated in that day, multiply that by 30.4.
kasim:
00:03:47
And then Google is going to front end or back load, however it chooses necessary.
kasim:
00:03:52
So I hope this is helpful information for you.
kasim:
00:03:54
Appreciate all y'all subscribers.
