Transcripts

Speaker:

With the new and improved John, the backup John backup, John.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

John is on a much needed and well-deserved vacation and costumes

Speaker:

terrified of taking these calls alone.

Speaker:

So I dropped a link in to the strategy team and said, fellows

Speaker:

helped me and your summer so far.

Speaker:

You're the only one.

Speaker:

Brave enough to step up to the plate.

Speaker:

I tried guilting everybody so far.

Speaker:

It doesn't seem like it's working, coming.

Speaker:

Don't worry.

Speaker:

I'm expressing this and y'all better show up.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Um, this is going to be a good one.

Speaker:

So, uh, as always, uh, thank you to everybody who's shown up.

Speaker:

I see a Facebook user says how well they Fogo.

Speaker:

Hey boys, do y'all want to ask questions in the live Q and a, you

Speaker:

got to jump into, into the two.

Speaker:

So jump into YouTube and, uh, I'm going to be pulling our

Speaker:

questions from the YouTube chat.

Speaker:

Which I'm excited about.

Speaker:

There we are.

Speaker:

I was just waiting for YouTube to queue it up and we've got some new members.

Speaker:

We've got Tommy Ducasse now.

Speaker:

Sorry, Tommy.

Speaker:

If I mispronounced that, Hey, Tommy, Tommy is here and then we've got Brett Nelson.

Speaker:

Thanks for joining.

Speaker:

Appreciate you, uh, theaters here.

Speaker:

Nice to see you.

Speaker:

Uh, I just applied to get on the beta for negative keywords for Pemex.

Speaker:

No way, Dave, where did you do that?

Speaker:

Where does that exist?

Speaker:

John, what up John?

Speaker:

John Ray.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Send us a screenshot of where that beta exists, because we were told by Google

Speaker:

that everybody was going to get it.

Speaker:

And then we were told by Google that nobody's going to get it.

Speaker:

So now nobody knows what to believe, which is super, super frustrating.

Speaker:

Michael, what am Michael?

Speaker:

Steve?

Speaker:

Oh my Google rep.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Well, we'll see then Dave, arms of Andes is here.

Speaker:

What apartments?

Speaker:

Brett Nelson customer list doesn't work in.

Speaker:

PMX really what didn't work about it.

Speaker:

Brett Nelson, could you not upload it?

Speaker:

Oh, it might be a, uh, what do you call it?

Speaker:

Spend issue if you have a new account.

Speaker:

And I think there's like a $50,000 spend, uh, threshold got a threshold and they,

Speaker:

they didn't, they said they did it, but like a lot of the times you can, and it's

Speaker:

usually because of the spend threshold.

Speaker:

So frustrated sucks.

Speaker:

Yeah, Brett Nelson.

Speaker:

Do you, have you reached $50,000 in lifetime spend it's lifetime, right?

Speaker:

It's not per annum.

Speaker:

Uh, yes.

Speaker:

I'm going to go with, yes.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

I'm going to shout out our new members real quick.

Speaker:

Uh, Brett Nelson, uh, Tommy Ducasse now, I'm sorry.

Speaker:

I'm saying it wrong time in Casey snow movie at on, uh, why David's 74.

Speaker:

Uh, Ian who?

Speaker:

Jos carp and I in ACU, Nick, Dave regalia.

Speaker:

Nick Hammond, client dispute management.

Speaker:

You scare me a little bit, but I'm glad you're here, max.

Speaker:

Vander's a beer.

Speaker:

Say ed Chris.

Speaker:

Horridge Leo number 26, and everybody else is, uh, has been around.

Speaker:

So appreciate y'all being here.

Speaker:

Stop dropping your questions into start dropping your

Speaker:

questions in the chat with Sama.

Speaker:

Just so y'all know is, uh, is one of our longest tenured strategists.

Speaker:

He's here to answer your questions.

Speaker:

Justin just signed up to be a good person by the way.

Speaker:

Thank you, Justin.

Speaker:

So it was some, but we're going to start taking.

Speaker:

Let's do it.

Speaker:

Uh, Brett Nelson says upload works, but it won't take it.

Speaker:

It's been there a while.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

It's usually a spend issue where you can upload the customer list onto Google

Speaker:

and it's big enough, but just for, because I guess the spend limit, you

Speaker:

can't use it as an audience signal in your Pemex campaign, which is weird.

Speaker:

That is really weird.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

That's true for weird.

Speaker:

That's also really frustrating because Google came out and said officially,

Speaker:

they lifted all the spend threshold.

Speaker:

So the fact that it hasn't been lifted, I think, I almost wonder if

Speaker:

you can send that through support because that feels like something

Speaker:

that just shouldn't be there.

Speaker:

That's what the shot they Fogle said.

Speaker:

That is a Google account rep said try using negative, uh, on the

Speaker:

account level, uh, negative, uh, application on the account level.

Speaker:

Doesn't work in PMX at least not to my knowledge.

Speaker:

If anybody else has tried it.

Speaker:

Uh, who's this phase here.

Speaker:

Check this out.

Speaker:

Now it's a party the week.

Speaker:

Uh, guilting worked.

Speaker:

There we go.

Speaker:

Caitlin.

Speaker:

I know you're watching this on car.

Speaker:

I know YouTube.

Speaker:

Where are you guys at?

Speaker:

Yeah, they're running tired.

Speaker:

It's live.

Speaker:

Yeah, Kayden just goes to the last video you were under a red light,

Speaker:

like you were all being Pokemon.

Speaker:

I mean, it was so funny.

Speaker:

Ryan heroine just joined, uh, to be a great person.

Speaker:

Thank you, Ryan.

Speaker:

Um, Conday father goes, John looks different today.

Speaker:

Did he grow all?

Speaker:

Alright, so we've got a question from Justin here.

Speaker:

How do I fix my conversion tracking for e-commerce and Pemex to only

Speaker:

show purchase value in college?

Speaker:

Currently, it's showing 80% conversion rates and inflating

Speaker:

everything by counting ATC, et cetera.

Speaker:

So can I take this or who wants to take it, take it right.

Speaker:

So there's a couple ways to do this.

Speaker:

And we recorded a video on this a couple of days ago.

Speaker:

Me and costume to Google just recently started, I guess, handing out us the

Speaker:

regular columns that we used to have earlier with just convergence cost per

Speaker:

conversion, a conversion value divided by cost, which was set to basically

Speaker:

whatever conversion action you are taking.

Speaker:

So if you don't have that, if you have that, so you can just use those,

Speaker:

but you're gonna have to check.

Speaker:

And if you don't have that, the easiest way that we kind of do for accounts that

Speaker:

don't have that right now is we literally go in and delete all the other conversion

Speaker:

actions, which is like a temporary fits.

Speaker:

So the only conversion action, the way I'm sorry to have jumped in.

Speaker:

Like, if you don't want to remove all of the conversions, you can

Speaker:

just kill the conversion value.

Speaker:

That way you can count your conversion, every other conversions and see the.

Speaker:

Uh, purchase valleys.

Speaker:

The only drawback of killing the conversion value for the other conversion

Speaker:

is that your number of conversion number will be inaccurate, but your cost per

Speaker:

con, uh, but your conversion value over basically your ROAS would be accurate.

Speaker:

And so you guys brought me down if you disagree with this, but I'm afraid of

Speaker:

killing all conversions or ancillary conversions, because even though now

Speaker:

Google has come out and said secondary conversions, aren't used for optimization.

Speaker:

I think secondary conversions are used for optimization.

Speaker:

Otherwise, why would they have them?

Speaker:

Google needs, predictive indications of intent.

Speaker:

So if you kill all secondary conversions, you're killing Google's ability to kind of

Speaker:

see who would buy from you in the future.

Speaker:

So all of our accounts currently before we got those new columns, which

Speaker:

has literally been like what a week so far have been running without any

Speaker:

of the secondary conversion actions, because it was the only way we could

Speaker:

measure the performance effect.

Speaker:

So all the results we've been seeing have been only with one conversion

Speaker:

action, which was purchased.

Speaker:

Um, they focus his customer.

Speaker:

Doesn't buy anything that Google says that's true here.

Speaker:

So Octa nation, first of all, Warren, thank you for the tip.

Speaker:

Really appreciate you.

Speaker:

This dude's an assassin he's, he's flown around by Zuckerberg and

Speaker:

Facebook to teach other people how to run, um, membership communities.

Speaker:

Um, absolute brilliant, brilliant marketer.

Speaker:

I'm super flattered that you'd be here, buddy.

Speaker:

Thank you.

Speaker:

Uh, so Justin's question.

Speaker:

Um, we answered more or less Justin, let us know if that satiates your desire,

Speaker:

or if there's more to dig into there, I've got lead Google ad account isn't is

Speaker:

always over reporting and purchase amount.

Speaker:

And the number of conversions I troubleshoot it.

Speaker:

The account has one goal which is purchased and counts.

Speaker:

It only in all conversion KPI.

Speaker:

Where do you, where do you read the questions?

Speaker:

Hold on.

Speaker:

I'll drop it into a upper, drop it into slack.

Speaker:

I pull up Google live and I read them from there because these

Speaker:

streams a chat function sucks.

Speaker:

Of course, here.

Speaker:

It's up.

Speaker:

Wonder buddy.

Speaker:

I'll be like, yeah.

Speaker:

We're like, don't say anything.

Speaker:

Stupid pretend you're smart.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So I just dropped the link to live.

Speaker:

And then I'm going to drop co-leads question into slack guys.

Speaker:

You guys let's tackle this one.

Speaker:

Oh.

Speaker:

I think it's the issue we had on card with the most recent one.

Speaker:

And the question I have for you Kalita is where are you sending

Speaker:

people to track their orders?

Speaker:

Because if you're sending people to the thank you page every single time,

Speaker:

which is one, which is an account, we had, people were going to the

Speaker:

thank you page to tractor order.

Speaker:

And every time it would just replicate, it would count it as an order.

Speaker:

So you had one conversion, which was like $2,000 a week, but

Speaker:

because it visited five times, the conversion value was like 10 grand.

Speaker:

So.

Speaker:

We ran into that once with smart shopping where the, the thing, right?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

We ran into that with the very recent account.

Speaker:

So you can either send them to a completely separate page for

Speaker:

tracking, or you can change the settings on your conversion action

Speaker:

to just track the first one first.

Speaker:

But if you change one to every, or if you change every one and you have

Speaker:

repeat purchases, then it's not going to count that repeat purchase from.

Speaker:

Uh, Colleen says, no, I have a code to prevent that already.

Speaker:

No duplication on the thank you page.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So actually it's not a wait, I'm hearing you guys.

Speaker:

Sorry.

Speaker:

So actually it's not a changing every conversion to one.

Speaker:

We just add a code, which is a first time assist and ended.

Speaker:

So with that code, it will prevent that conversion conversion tag to fire.

Speaker:

So it will just fire one.

Speaker:

Uh, once the transaction happened, if the customer clicks on reload or

Speaker:

something, then it will not fire.

Speaker:

So that's how we prevent duplicate converge conversion value tracking.

Speaker:

And what was that code again on car?

Speaker:

You said it was specific.

Speaker:

It was if, if first time assessed.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

If first time assist, could we have a link to that somewhere we can send?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Coleen we'll try and drop that in the chat for you.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

If you can find it on car, arms, Vandy is what's the best way to read

Speaker:

the metrics from our listing groups.

Speaker:

I feel like an order, right?

Speaker:

They give you the, the efficacy of the new audience.

Speaker:

Uh, according to impact, it's like 33 X, 20 X, 15 X, and then

Speaker:

you take that new audience and you create a new asset, right?

Speaker:

It wasn't his question.

Speaker:

How to analyze listing groups.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

What's the best way to read the metrics from our listing groups.

Speaker:

Oh, I'm thinking of insights.

Speaker:

You're right.

Speaker:

You're right.

Speaker:

You're right.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So who wants to go?

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

It's not as the more important.

Speaker:

Have we checked costs, uh, click through rates, conversions, conversion

Speaker:

ratio, and ROAS ROAS, actually.

Speaker:

Um, if you want to know like how to optimize, you can always like,

Speaker:

uh, create a filter and like products that have over 100 clicks.

Speaker:

And you can also like this endpoint, uh, role as, and you can, um, can you

Speaker:

remove the ones that are not hitting your goal and you have to check that

Speaker:

sometimes Google, when it sees the.

Speaker:

Let's say you have spent $1,000 in a week.

Speaker:

You can see that, um, only one or two of the products, like,

Speaker:

um, get 90% of the budget and just give 10% to the other ones.

Speaker:

You, you should also check that one.

Speaker:

That's the question we need, like a infographic there, like

Speaker:

the hierarchy performance, max.

Speaker:

You know, like the first, most important key performance indicator specifically

Speaker:

for e-com and then it cascades down.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

It's kind of hard to do right now because you don't know how much influence the

Speaker:

shopping campaigns in the search campaigns or the, just the overall funnel has on the

Speaker:

whole purchase, because you might have, you might end up killing a product that

Speaker:

was getting hit by the shopping network, but what's converting on the search.

Speaker:

So the listing group never got the country.

Speaker:

Or it might've gone through shopping search and then converted on display.

Speaker:

So search and shopping didn't get that data, but display

Speaker:

was the one that converted it.

Speaker:

So it's like, it's a very risky move removing anything because you

Speaker:

don't know how badly it's going to influence your results or your.

Speaker:

We've gotta be very careful.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Arms of Andes.

Speaker:

We're not trying to dance around this one.

Speaker:

What you're asking is, is a little tough.

Speaker:

It's kind of like, Hey, how do you run Google ads?

Speaker:

It's very, open-ended like once you run performance, max, the data that

Speaker:

you see is going to indicate your next move, but then it really depends

Speaker:

on what data you're seeing and why.

Speaker:

Um, and then your next question, how do we apply to get on the

Speaker:

negative keyword list for Pemex?

Speaker:

Uh, Dave says he went through his Google rep.

Speaker:

I'd be real careful with your Google reps because they're all.

Speaker:

Um, single again, God bless them.

Speaker:

Uh, and they don't know that they're lying.

Speaker:

They don't know that, but they're fed misinformation.

Speaker:

But if you have a Google rep, maybe see if they can get you on the negative keyword,

Speaker:

beta, uh, we were the most recent story we have from the higher end team at Google is

Speaker:

that there is no negative keyword, beta, and they're not going to give it to us.

Speaker:

So maybe that story has changed.

Speaker:

Um, Tommy says we ran a PMX for over a month and suddenly it spent 80% of

Speaker:

its budget in an hour with no result.

Speaker:

It did the same on the day.

Speaker:

Uh, reset right after midnight and we shut it off.

Speaker:

Have you seen that before?

Speaker:

Yikes.

Speaker:

And we've seen that before crazy budget spend.

Speaker:

And then what was syringe and then dying.

Speaker:

It might just be dynamic prospecting at that point.

Speaker:

Can you, did you check your CPCs during that time?

Speaker:

Actually, no, actually it happens with all of our P max campaign.

Speaker:

On the fourth day or second day, uh, jumps and, and then it starts to die off.

Speaker:

So that's when you should add more acid groups are more added, more

Speaker:

audience signals to your asset groups.

Speaker:

So first it's just go wild.

Speaker:

It, it tries to, uh, target each and every audience that you put in there.

Speaker:

And then it, it, uh, it's segregated.

Speaker:

I tried this audience signal.

Speaker:

It doesn't work.

Speaker:

So let's not target that.

Speaker:

I tried the, so that's why in the first two days you will see a

Speaker:

jump in, in the goth conversions, clicks, impressions, and all that.

Speaker:

Then, then it will start to analyze each and every audience signal.

Speaker:

And then it will stop spending, not stop spending.

Speaker:

It will stop spending on, uh, audience signal, which are things

Speaker:

that it can't get to conversion.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So what I'm hearing on cars, it goes two inches deep, but a mile wide figures out

Speaker:

what's working and then starts to drill.

Speaker:

Now, Tommy followed up and said the sh the traffic spike looks

Speaker:

like a bot here's what's crazy.

Speaker:

Tommy is we're seeing an insane amount of bot traffic and performance

Speaker:

mechs, especially for lead generation.

Speaker:

Like, it feels like 80%.

Speaker:

All of Google's traffic is bots now.

Speaker:

Um, so I don't think what you're saying is it feels off base at all.

Speaker:

Uh, what's weird though, is because PMX is goal oriented.

Speaker:

I would assume that would stop bot traffic if it's not accomplishing your goal.

Speaker:

So is, are you getting a bunch of false leads is what I'm saying?

Speaker:

Because if you're getting false positives, school's going to keep

Speaker:

giving you more and more of those.

Speaker:

Uh, John told us the new gold standard for all degeneration is 15 fields per form.

Speaker:

So if a client doesn't have 15 fields in a form, we're not

Speaker:

going to run their peanuts.

Speaker:

Now, if you're at 12, that's fine.

Speaker:

But most of us are at three or.

Speaker:

And that's what stops the bot traffic, because the fields

Speaker:

tend up being far more specific.

Speaker:

And then if the bot traffic isn't converting, then Google stop

Speaker:

sending you more bot traffic.

Speaker:

But I'm convinced now that Google has a real strong, inability

Speaker:

to identify bot traffic.

Speaker:

And Tommy said, like, if it's like, no, no, no.

Speaker:

I'm talking about the industry.

Speaker:

If you don't have like a decent search volume, if there is no demand

Speaker:

for it, maybe Google is not seeing.

Speaker:

If people are not searching, I'm not going to show it for search.

Speaker:

I'm not going to, I couldn't show it for shopping.

Speaker:

So what I'm going to do, I'm going to try to create demand.

Speaker:

So I'm going to abuse, GDN, and I'm going to abuse, beauty.

Speaker:

So like if it's crop tops, for example, like you cannot spend all of your,

Speaker:

I'm not sure about your budget, but you cannot spend all of their budget

Speaker:

on search and shopping right away.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

That's really well said.

Speaker:

Yeah, because I've tried performance max on photo five Legion accounts and

Speaker:

it's walking on a, like, it doesn't work on like food because of bot traffic.

Speaker:

Like I was getting bought what traffic, because there was no

Speaker:

one searching for that service.

Speaker:

So yeah.

Speaker:

Performance Maximo's going display, discovery, YouTube and everything.

Speaker:

But for one account where we are spending like a hundred K uh, it's a basement

Speaker:

waterproofing company that has good.

Speaker:

So that DSA is walking.

Speaker:

So I think that performance max is focusing on search rather than

Speaker:

going display discovery on YouTube.

Speaker:

So getting good results, uh, in DP, max campaign, can we force

Speaker:

search by running search campaigns?

Speaker:

So performance max wants to steal from our search.

Speaker:

Yeah, summer came up with it.

Speaker:

The original ideas belong to somewhere.

Speaker:

Uh, he's running supplemented DSS with it, but you have to be patient when

Speaker:

you first launched preference banks.

Speaker:

So it has all seven channels and it starts wild.

Speaker:

Like we have a client that likes selling, um, sample music,

Speaker:

library loops, stuff like this.

Speaker:

And the first search themes that we saw is like, listen, mariachi or

Speaker:

download mariachi, but where we gave it.

Speaker:

Week.

Speaker:

And after that we see like decent, like, uh, Maria sample loops,

Speaker:

drum, a music library for music, production, stuff like this.

Speaker:

But when you first started, you have to be patient.

Speaker:

You have to understand it's going to start wild.

Speaker:

Hmm.

Speaker:

Dan Rosetta asks, is it realistic to spend a million dollars per month on

Speaker:

Pemex only and have six to 10 Roaz.

Speaker:

Well, I mean, we've got a couple of clients that are crushing it.

Speaker:

The problem is, is Dan.

Speaker:

It depends.

Speaker:

It depends on your industry.

Speaker:

If you're selling cell phone cases, probably not, but if you're selling

Speaker:

something that's like hyper-specific, and you know, has quite a bit in

Speaker:

the way of value and a strong AOV.

Speaker:

The thing that I'm seeing with Pemex dying, I just got off the phone with a

Speaker:

client earlier this week who was really upset about his lack of performance.

Speaker:

He had like a $27 AOV.

Speaker:

It's just, there's no way to pay for traffic, their traffic.

Speaker:

Traffic's getting so much more excited.

Speaker:

Yeah, and you have to pay for that visibility.

Speaker:

So I need to know more about your business than any other input guys.

Speaker:

That's exactly what we were talking about earlier to keep up.

Speaker:

And the average order value that people tend to stick around for their e-comm

Speaker:

brand is usually like 20 to 30 bucks.

Speaker:

When realistically you should be aiming for like, in my opinion, 60 to 70 plus,

Speaker:

especially with us dude, big agencies, don't take you if you're sub $80 AOV.

Speaker:

Um, sorry to be offense that are there, then we needed to know a little bit

Speaker:

more, uh, who lead says is search lost impression, share by rank the only

Speaker:

KPI to look for when telling if your search brand is doing well or not.

Speaker:

When telling if your search brand is doing well or not, it doesn't mean brand camp.

Speaker:

Yeah, Kelly, do you mean brand campaign?

Speaker:

And if so, I would imagine that you can still bank on conversions

Speaker:

from your brand campaign.

Speaker:

So search slash impression shares it's a predictive indication, but the

Speaker:

final KPI is going to be conversion or conversion value depending

Speaker:

on what you're optimizing for.

Speaker:

Yup.

Speaker:

Conversion rate, click share.

Speaker:

Let me see.

Speaker:

Um, Dave made a point about our fixer earlier that we're telling Google

Speaker:

that your conversions are worthless.

Speaker:

If you remove conversion values.

Speaker:

Um, and I'm going to fight you on that, Dave, I don't think you're telling Google

Speaker:

that your conversions are worthless.

Speaker:

I think you're telling Google that all conversions are created equal.

Speaker:

So it goes from it.

Speaker:

You moved to binary, it'd be, you know, it's like a zero or one, which

Speaker:

in some instances is to your benefit, you know, Hey, you won or you lost.

Speaker:

Um, it depends on the business office.

Speaker:

Uh, Steve, John has said minimum budget for Pemex is a hundred dollars a day.

Speaker:

So if your budget doesn't support a hundred dollars a day and

Speaker:

Pemex is not an option, what's the next best option for e-com.

Speaker:

That's a good question.

Speaker:

Great max.

Speaker:

So I was reading that that will be a campaign called

Speaker:

us performance, max retail.

Speaker:

I don't know how true that is.

Speaker:

I haven't heard that, but yeah, that's retail.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

So.

Speaker:

So I think in next few weeks, uh, Google will start recommending

Speaker:

people to upgrade, uh, their smart shopping campaign to performance max.

Speaker:

And that performance max campaign will be called us like Google

Speaker:

called that performance max retail.

Speaker:

Oh.

Speaker:

So it's just all the smart shopping campaigns that have been

Speaker:

bastardized into performance.

Speaker:

Mexicans.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Well, I don't know that we'd recommend that though.

Speaker:

I don't anticipate those performing.

Speaker:

I'm going to say DSA, somebody fight me on that.

Speaker:

If you got a low budget, I actually have a client that's running on low budget.

Speaker:

That screenshot I sent in our chat this morning as a guy running a $45 a day.

Speaker:

But it also heavily varies on industry, the products you're selling

Speaker:

and witchers and basically what you're selling kind of situation.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

That was the $13 cost per conversion with an 18.3 conversion by.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And he just took off in the last two days to say what I'm going to share this.

Speaker:

Just so people will say FAU had something or something to add.

Speaker:

So this is what I want to add.

Speaker:

Something that I, I know John said minimum budget for Pemex is $100 a day,

Speaker:

but he also says the minimum budget for smart shopping is also $100 a day.

Speaker:

So it's not a question for what should you write instead of performance banks?

Speaker:

We, as an agency like VP tell people our clients that.

Speaker:

Neat $100 a day to show you decent data.

Speaker:

So you can judge our performance.

Speaker:

Like if you give us $20, by the end of the 90 days, we're not going

Speaker:

to have enough data to show you.

Speaker:

So that's why John said $100.

Speaker:

If you don't have anything else and you have limited sources, you can of

Speaker:

course start your preference, max, with even like $50 for the dollars.

Speaker:

Like we don't recommend it as a bison to our client.

Speaker:

But it's hard to think for an agency if you're not spending a hundred dollars

Speaker:

a day, but if you're not spending on an agency, you could run it less

Speaker:

than a hundred dollars a day on call.

Speaker:

You have something to add there.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

So if you don't want to run performance max, or you don't have the budget, you

Speaker:

can go with standard shopping steady, but the CPCs are so high, right?

Speaker:

Like, yeah.

Speaker:

I guess it depends on the industry.

Speaker:

You have to start the test.

Speaker:

You have to see your search terms inside of standard shopping campaign.

Speaker:

So then you can start to our shopping with confidence.

Speaker:

If you're like getting on relevant search terms in a standard shopping,

Speaker:

there is no reason to go smart shopping.

Speaker:

So test it out.

Speaker:

See what your, uh, Then get automated stuff.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

And I guess to unpack on cars, point standard shopping at

Speaker:

least keeps you very focused.

Speaker:

So, you know, you don't have any relevant spend.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Steve says it, a natural health supplement brand 22 skews.

Speaker:

AOB is $63.

Speaker:

Steve, do you have a good lifetime value?

Speaker:

Are people coming back?

Speaker:

Um, cause if so then there, I think you could be cooking with

Speaker:

something, if not, and that's, I think supplements, especially cause

Speaker:

you're going to have so many fricking disapprovals, uh, that one could be.

Speaker:

Supplement it's hard in general.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

What, how many sub on the brands we have?

Speaker:

25 now, something crazy, too many.

Speaker:

It's that one video I shot because nobody else will take him.

Speaker:

I'm really sorry, guys.

Speaker:

Uh, Ryan says great day to be great.

Speaker:

I love you rice.

Speaker:

Uh, general question in the process of setting up a new PMX campaign,

Speaker:

replace existing smart campaign.

Speaker:

What's the timeframe to shut off the smart campaigns.

Speaker:

Once Pemex goes live, once it stops.

Speaker:

Yeah, you don't shut it off.

Speaker:

You let, PMX just steal from it.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And then it'll slowly die.

Speaker:

It's usually dies.

Speaker:

We have an SOP for that.

Speaker:

So generally we wait for conversion lock to N so for every, uh, for each account,

Speaker:

there will be a different conversion lag.

Speaker:

So what happens is smart.

Speaker:

Shopping are basically remarketing campaigns, right?

Speaker:

So it's 20% new customer and 80% remarketing.

Speaker:

If you turn on smart shop, sorry, performance max, then all the traffic

Speaker:

goes to performance max, but the remarketing, uh, audience that get

Speaker:

low, uh, get lost in performance max because portfolio performance

Speaker:

marks just focus on new audience.

Speaker:

So we recommend that wait till the conversion lag ends.

Speaker:

So the remaining, uh, audience remarketing or.

Speaker:

So smart shopping we'll cover that remarketing audience.

Speaker:

Once that the marketing audience exhausts, then we can pause it.

Speaker:

So

Speaker:

uh, so yeah, the SOP is just, we tell the conversion against which makes

Speaker:

sense because you don't want to lose audiences that you've already paid for,

Speaker:

that are going to convert down the line.

Speaker:

So a lot of that depends on your, your path to profit.

Speaker:

Uh, I real quick, I want to dovetail into something that uncarved kind of brought

Speaker:

up, which is the remarketing piece.

Speaker:

John says that he heard from Google, that performance max doesn't remark

Speaker:

it as well as dynamic remarketing.

Speaker:

And the new SOP is we have to use dynamic remarketing for every client.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Which is that's a gold nugget.

Speaker:

If you're listening, we're setting up a bunch of different remarketing

Speaker:

campaigns just to test how well they performed, but we'll see how that.

Speaker:

Uh, coming back to Justin started, we're bouncing around y'all I'm just

Speaker:

trying to take these as they come.

Speaker:

Justin was the one that was asking about, uh, his original question

Speaker:

was how do I fix my conversion tracking free commerce and PMX to

Speaker:

only show purchase value in columns.

Speaker:

Currently it's showing 80% conversion rates and inflating everything.

Speaker:

So then his followup now is not sure which of those two options

Speaker:

you recommended under purchases.

Speaker:

It's tracking three metrics.

Speaker:

Should I only use one?

Speaker:

I have purchased dash soulmate.

Speaker:

So Justin, are you a client of ours?

Speaker:

Sorry.

Speaker:

If.

Speaker:

Uh, Google shopping, feed and transactions from GA transactions from GA is to

Speaker:

reconcile against what you don't want.

Speaker:

If you have purchase that's Google tag manager transactions is Google analytics.

Speaker:

So analytics should be used to reconcile against, but not

Speaker:

necessarily to track against.

Speaker:

So it would be purchase correct guys.

Speaker:

Yup.

Speaker:

Yup.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I hope that helps Justin.

Speaker:

Uh, Khaleed has a code.

Speaker:

Oh, I already read that.

Speaker:

Um, Theodore says, hi guys, I'm going to do a search lead gen campaign from

Speaker:

my PPC agency and try to generate quality leads, um, potential clients.

Speaker:

Can you please give some quick tips and bid strategy?

Speaker:

Uh, so we're going to go help you be a good competitor.

Speaker:

Um, and I'm actually being honest.

Speaker:

So here's, this is stupid for me to give away, but I'm going to

Speaker:

give it away because I am naive.

Speaker:

And, uh, I think that it makes the world a better place.

Speaker:

Here's what we did.

Speaker:

And this is fricking brilliant.

Speaker:

We took our action plans form.

Speaker:

And we asked people to biggest budget for us is the primary

Speaker:

indicator of whether or not you're going to be able to be successful.

Speaker:

If you're not giving Google enough money, then you're not going

Speaker:

to be able to afford our fee.

Speaker:

So if you fill out this form, the first two radio buttons

Speaker:

will lead you to thank you.

Speaker:

Page a all the remaining radio buttons lead you to thank you.

Speaker:

Page B.

Speaker:

We don't count you as a conversion unless you hit thank you.

Speaker:

Page B and for anybody running a lead gen campaign.

Speaker:

That's a hell of a good idea, because you don't have to tell Google that

Speaker:

somebody who converted as a lead, if they're not a viable lead.

Speaker:

So I'm going to drop that pro-tip anybody else have anything else?

Speaker:

Now they were going to, everybody is going to land on the B,

Speaker:

like told me, he goes, people are scheduling with me to tell

Speaker:

me they have a 10 grand budget.

Speaker:

And then I hop on and they're like, well, if you can help us grow, then

Speaker:

we could ultimately spend 10 grand.

Speaker:

So I got to stop.

Speaker:

Feel free to give us like 10%, if that works.

Speaker:

That's so funny.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

That's exactly what it, two-door start setting, setting

Speaker:

your, your cast offs to us.

Speaker:

Um, are we using Pemex for so late again?

Speaker:

Did we turn that back on?

Speaker:

Does anybody know?

Speaker:

No, it's off now.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Well, cause Yvonne's adding the fields.

Speaker:

We don't have our 15 fields.

Speaker:

Yup.

Speaker:

Um, so summer, why do you seem so sad?

Speaker:

Kind of sick?

Speaker:

Oh, no man.

Speaker:

I'm sorry.

Speaker:

Uh, Justin says he's trying to use the data to decide

Speaker:

which listing groups to pause.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I think we entered your question about Justin.

Speaker:

Let me know if we didn't.

Speaker:

Um, Theodore says I series, um, our T banners all the time.

Speaker:

So should I retargeting banners all the time?

Speaker:

Thank you.

Speaker:

So should I ask extra display campaign?

Speaker:

Dude, retargeting has been crazy for us.

Speaker:

Our cost per lead is $450.

Speaker:

When we started running retargeting heavily, it dropped down to $225 and

Speaker:

we run, I stole this from our CAC.

Speaker:

We run retargeting and all channels.

Speaker:

So we're in like two Bula Outbrain ad rule.

Speaker:

Like every ancillary thing that you could possibly think of.

Speaker:

And those channels are so cheap and Yvonne set them up once.

Speaker:

I don't think he still monitors.

Speaker:

I'm going to ask him, um, So you can go run remarketing in all the places.

Speaker:

And I don't, I mean, you can add qualifiers, maybe time on

Speaker:

site pages, visited, whatever, but I don't think it's a waste.

Speaker:

If they've already been to your site, you spend so much money

Speaker:

trying to get people there.

Speaker:

Steve says that you need vitamin C

Speaker:

I'm asking you find a few watches or other remarketing campaigns.

Speaker:

Uh, Archie.

Speaker:

Do you recommend setting up Shopify store ad conversion tracking with the Google

Speaker:

app or manual code manual code manual?

Speaker:

It's more accurate every single time.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So your costumes are assigned the blog page and YouTube chat.

Speaker:

So you can just follow that blog page.

Speaker:

It's just step by step process.

Speaker:

And it's very easy to set up conversion for.

Speaker:

That's the feet, army link that I dropped in.

Speaker:

Oh, cool.

Speaker:

So all three of you say manual code.

Speaker:

Nobody disagrees, no manual is always the best option.

Speaker:

Hm.

Speaker:

Um, Dave, Ashley, what's your general feeling on URL expansion.

Speaker:

Oh, this is going to be so much fun.

Speaker:

This is maybe my favorite question of the day.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

Uh, is it on, in most of your accounts?

Speaker:

Is there a better way to test it then by just turning it on for three weeks

Speaker:

and then off, if it doesn't mean.

Speaker:

I like mine's on, I leave it on.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Some is for you or expansion, generally speaking F a on car.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Same on for some clients.

Speaker:

I leave it off.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

What kind of client would you leave it off for?

Speaker:

Um, if the forelegs are completely different, like.

Speaker:

For an example, if it's almost coating, but it's crop tops, jackets, blazers,

Speaker:

skirts, like all relevant, but some of our clients like selling rugs on the other

Speaker:

hand and close on the second category, like, um, other electronic stuff in,

Speaker:

so other, uh, categories, messy, those elective, um, sent them to the respect.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I have a feeling that longterm URL expansion is going to be one

Speaker:

of the most powerful parts of performance, max, especially for

Speaker:

a content rich authority site.

Speaker:

If somebody has bad-ass content that really explained cause you,

Speaker:

you can sell a hard drive, right.

Speaker:

But people at the bottom of the funnel know what the hard drive is, but right at

Speaker:

the top of the funnel is somebody whose computer slow and they don't know why.

Speaker:

So then there's confusion on how easy it is to supplement your heart's.

Speaker:

Education on what hard drives were better and why, how to shop, how long it takes.

Speaker:

But you know what I mean?

Speaker:

Like you could, you could create, you could build a customer factory

Speaker:

with a content rich authority site, but you would need final year

Speaker:

extension on, in order to do that.

Speaker:

You don't just quit.

Speaker:

There he is.

Speaker:

Sometimes he disappears and reappears, just making sure to exclude like on

Speaker:

relevant pages, privacy policy, like do what a good, what a good point.

Speaker:

I never thought about like the.

Speaker:

Uh, sometimes, uh, sorry, sorry.

Speaker:

I'm just going to add, I said I leave it at home pig and I never,

Speaker:

and I actually got into like the clients shop fight stores because

Speaker:

you have access and then I'll look at the pages that people end up on.

Speaker:

And most, I haven't seen any of the privacy pages or any of those show up.

Speaker:

It's usually just the product pages, always for the best sellers.

Speaker:

And then home.

Speaker:

How would you know, though, because Google's not giving us placements or,

Speaker:

or landing pages, you can, but you can still go to their Shopify dashboard

Speaker:

and see where people are landing.

Speaker:

You're just looking at analytics, like view analytics, Shopify analytics,

Speaker:

and check where people are landing.

Speaker:

It happens a lot when you run a DSA, so theater and other, uh, like tip

Speaker:

for you going to Google and type like privacy policy or returning.

Speaker:

And see those ads pop up right.

Speaker:

To those people like saying, Hey, your Google agency sucks.

Speaker:

They're like paying money for like privacy pace and try to promote.

Speaker:

That's so funny.

Speaker:

You know what sucks now is when we shoot videos, all of our clients start

Speaker:

messaging our client managers saying, why aren't you doing this out ourselves?

Speaker:

Well, you only do this way.

Speaker:

You know, it's hard because there's so many exceptions to every rule now, uh,

Speaker:

who lead says, I appreciate you guys.

Speaker:

We appreciate you guys, man.

Speaker:

Like our subscribers and this has been pretty cool.

Speaker:

We all say it again.

Speaker:

What is Superchat?

Speaker:

Is that when somebody gives us money?

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Justin tip this $10 Canadian.

Speaker:

That's awesome.

Speaker:

That's probably for you.

Speaker:

So I'm mean you're the only one that can spread that.

Speaker:

I mean, send it my way or go get a coffee, something.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Thanks Justin.

Speaker:

This nice human arms of Mandy's.

Speaker:

How do I know when to scale my asset group with, when you say asset

Speaker:

group, I don't get the question.

Speaker:

Arms of Andy's give us a little more context.

Speaker:

What do you mean if he means he means like build more asset groups, wait for your

Speaker:

insights and then use whatever data you have in your insights to build a dress.

Speaker:

I grouped as many as you humanly possibly can.

Speaker:

When asking for scaling, are you talking about giving it more

Speaker:

budget for the performance specs or creating more as a group?

Speaker:

I didn't get the question.

Speaker:

Yeah, I'm going to say when the asset group is performing, then you scale it.

Speaker:

I'm not trying to be rude, but that's what feels like a right.

Speaker:

Like as you see returns, you start.

Speaker:

That's what we typically do too.

Speaker:

Once we start seeing returns and we find that our audiences insights, I guess

Speaker:

we start creating more asset groups and start increasing budgets to balancing.

Speaker:

Yeah, because the more asset groups you have, the more budget you have

Speaker:

to need to feed those asset groups.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

That's a catch 22 that actually leads into Dave's question.

Speaker:

So first he says, P Mac is like magic.

Speaker:

Nobody knows how it works.

Speaker:

That's true.

Speaker:

And then Dave says, oh dude, you know, that's funny Gould did y'all know that

Speaker:

Google asked John how he's using PMs.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

He goes into a meeting in morning with Google's team and he asked the

Speaker:

question, like, I don't remember the question about the Google.

Speaker:

Yeah, John, this is exactly how it works.

Speaker:

And afternoon he has, he had another meeting with Google's product development.

Speaker:

Another meeting ran on the team and they said, no, it's not,

Speaker:

that's not how it works though.

Speaker:

Even Google has no idea, no idea.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I was on a call with John and it was like, um, he's like, yeah, this is how I work.

Speaker:

And John's like, uh, and then he pulls up his campaign to like, no,

Speaker:

he does this, this, this, and this.

Speaker:

And Google's like, okay, then thank you for the education.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Um, Dave says, uh, you said you were doing like a hundred asset groups and P

Speaker:

max, if you're doing that, uh, if you're doing that month and you have a new

Speaker:

video each month, you then update the a hundred asset groups and reset learning.

Speaker:

So the a hundred asset groups, that's not every client, that's us saying,

Speaker:

like, you need to build out as many asset groups as possible for a small business,

Speaker:

with a small audience and small assets.

Speaker:

It's probably not going to hit a hundred, but if you can get

Speaker:

to a hundred, you should do.

Speaker:

And man, I can't say that we have a good SOP for updates because it's, so

Speaker:

client specific, it's very specific.

Speaker:

You can't even get videos like clients won't give us videos.

Speaker:

Google will create videos for us and it may decide updating videos.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Have we seen, did you check that?

Speaker:

Uh, so there is an update in asset library.

Speaker:

We can create videos.

Speaker:

I, so, uh, I think I can shoot a video on that.

Speaker:

So we just have to like provide them images and it will create videos.

Speaker:

It's just like PowerPoint presentation.

Speaker:

I wasn't able to use this.

Speaker:

It's really cool.

Speaker:

It's so cool.

Speaker:

That stuff.

Speaker:

And it builds out a whole video.

Speaker:

It's amazing.

Speaker:

That's nuts.

Speaker:

But what about like title description?

Speaker:

Metadata.

Speaker:

Thumbnails is all that in it, I guess.

Speaker:

So it takes all of that from.

Speaker:

I'd copy the backside copy, headlines, descriptions, long headlines.

Speaker:

So it makes sense.

Speaker:

It tests the different headlines and descriptions to

Speaker:

see what works best probably.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

We're all going to be out of a jobs.

Speaker:

Uh, uh, Justin says, would setting my ATC goal as observed, only fix this.

Speaker:

When, or then we tried that it's all conversions, but so the question to

Speaker:

sum up with Google's new column of, uh, conversions versus all conversions that

Speaker:

should fix Justin's problem, right?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

If he has those columns, he can just do it.

Speaker:

Like he was analyzing other campaigns.

Speaker:

If he doesn't then he's, if someone, can you share your screen and

Speaker:

show them, what is it you got?

Speaker:

Because I don't have it, Justin, just so you know, there's new columns.

Speaker:

Uh, I haven't looked in a couple of days and maybe I'm just being lazy.

Speaker:

I'll look right now.

Speaker:

So yeah.

Speaker:

So w which, uh, um, they don't have that too, but now I have it.

Speaker:

You do have it.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Can I just open any account number, open an account, open one that is okay for

Speaker:

us to show like clients that are super friendly, like a yellow bird, French.

Speaker:

Yeah, you don't want solutions eight.

Speaker:

We have PMs.

Speaker:

Oh, I can open up solutions eight.

Speaker:

True.

Speaker:

No, but it's offering now and we don't have too much in there.

Speaker:

The columns.

Speaker:

Oh, we don't have this stick groups.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

Um, it's yellow birds in one, I think it's yeah, it should be in GEDs one.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I'm just going to wait for things to load until then.

Speaker:

Next question.

Speaker:

Okay, next question.

Speaker:

I'm going to stop looking to.

Speaker:

Uh, Justin said, that was my last question.

Speaker:

You can keep asking questions, Justin.

Speaker:

They're good.

Speaker:

I appreciate you.

Speaker:

Um, where was I?

Speaker:

Colleen says he has too many bots, a bot CA oh.

Speaker:

So Dave says bot traffic could kill PMX.

Speaker:

I'm shocked at how much bot traffic, Google delivers, you know, as crazy as

Speaker:

click CS doesn't work to help at all.

Speaker:

Um, it actually hurts the campaigns trying to bash clicks, sees they've

Speaker:

been super kind to us, but it's just.

Speaker:

Um, arms of Andes.

Speaker:

What should we consider when we evaluate the performance of our listing groups?

Speaker:

Can you, when we we're evaluating listing groups?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

What should we consider when we evaluate the performance of our listing groups?

Speaker:

So if I was to do, can I, do I want to, does anyone want to take it before

Speaker:

I just start talking and just start?

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

If I was to go after it, I'd probably.

Speaker:

Not looking at the list, the group as a whole, I probably look at it at a

Speaker:

product level one, and I get rid of the product as a whole, from all the listing

Speaker:

groups and I'd analyze it like any other campaign that we use to analyze check

Speaker:

the number of clicks, check my ROAS, check my conversions, that kind of data.

Speaker:

And then I would remove it from all the listing groups.

Speaker:

If also looking at listing group.

Speaker:

I'd probably look for like three, 400 clicks before I

Speaker:

even think of turning it off.

Speaker:

That's the other thing with Pemex is, is you can't, I don't know how

Speaker:

many people are stopping three feet from gold, but I think it's a lot.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I think a lot of people are just turning it off before it

Speaker:

has the opportunity to perform.

Speaker:

Dude.

Speaker:

I love this next comment from John Ray, uh, for lead generation, we have an

Speaker:

eight step survey and I've not had any fake leads out of about 200 conversions.

Speaker:

Wait, John, are you and I in war room together?

Speaker:

Are you the journal?

Speaker:

I think you are.

Speaker:

We'll drop it into chat.

Speaker:

Uh, cause if so, I want to talk to you.

Speaker:

I have a client referral for you.

Speaker:

Um, for Pemex, I see assets with no videos performing better than

Speaker:

the ones with videos in them.

Speaker:

Not sure why.

Speaker:

Oh, no.

Speaker:

Sorry, John.

Speaker:

Nevermind.

Speaker:

Forgive me.

Speaker:

Um, have you all seen that nobody has performed better than videos.

Speaker:

There is no such thing as a PMX campaign with no videos.

Speaker:

If you don't add videos, won't it automatically

Speaker:

create videos no matter what.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Oh, Dave's asking what's bar room.

Speaker:

It's war room.

Speaker:

It's a mastermind that Ryan Dyson, Roland Frasier and Richard Linder.

Speaker:

Perry, Marshall own.

Speaker:

It's awesome.

Speaker:

If you go join it.

Speaker:

It's amazing.

Speaker:

Uh, could we, it says for Pemex.

Speaker:

I see.

Speaker:

No, no, no.

Speaker:

We already did that.

Speaker:

So Michael, can you force Pemex campaigns to be primarily Google shopping based?

Speaker:

Nope, not.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Well you could, if you ran smart shopping, but July one, that's going away.

Speaker:

So you can, Michael, but it's not going to last long.

Speaker:

Um, uh, my, my mum got some, I have it open now.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

Take it away.

Speaker:

I don't know if you can see my screen looking at it.

Speaker:

There we go.

Speaker:

So if you have, before, we only had these columns, all conversion

Speaker:

costs for all converged in Oakland, reiterate all that stuff.

Speaker:

This included everything you had.

Speaker:

Basically in your conversions.

Speaker:

Now we have the typical conversion cost per conversion, conversion

Speaker:

rate, conversion value, the regular stuff we used to look at before.

Speaker:

If you have this.

Speaker:

I guess PMX campaign available.

Speaker:

You're fine.

Speaker:

Looking at the data because it will only count the conversion

Speaker:

action you're tracking and Pemex.

Speaker:

If you only have these, you're still better off deleting every other conversion

Speaker:

action besides the one you want to track.

Speaker:

And this is for Justin, right?

Speaker:

Justin, just so you know, I didn't have it for the longest time.

Speaker:

So if you haven't, if you don't have it know it's coming and if you have a Google

Speaker:

rep, ask them to update your account.

Speaker:

Yep.

Speaker:

And maybe you'll get lucky and they won't be worthless.

Speaker:

Um, Cool.

Speaker:

Uh, Tommy, we have 60 skews in pod.

Speaker:

How do you go about managing that in a smart shopping?

Speaker:

Our top sellers are taking a lot of the spend and some products

Speaker:

don't have any spend for peanuts products out for smart shopping.

Speaker:

I think so.

Speaker:

Just separate the products out, uh, in, in a different smart shopping campaign

Speaker:

and give it a budget like a minimum.

Speaker:

Uh, $50 or a hundred dollars.

Speaker:

And once it starts getting clicks and conversions, you can merge them

Speaker:

into the, into our main campaign.

Speaker:

Um, that's great advice.

Speaker:

Um, you know what it says, this is awesome.

Speaker:

Thank you.

Speaker:

Uh, who lead costume?

Speaker:

Not a technical question, but how do you manage your time with

Speaker:

a massive team under your belt?

Speaker:

You know, my team doesn't cost me any time.

Speaker:

I'll be honest with you.

Speaker:

Like I hire Lou, I mean, look at the guys I hire, these are the

Speaker:

smartest guys in the freaking world.

Speaker:

And when I hire, I basically start by trying to talk somebody out of the

Speaker:

job, let them know that it's hard.

Speaker:

And then I hire people that are autonomous.

Speaker:

We have, we actually had an internal problem recently where everybody on

Speaker:

our team was doing too much work, which is actually, it's a very real problem.

Speaker:

We have way too much redundancy.

Speaker:

So we have the specialists, we have this client manager and we have the stress.

Speaker:

And the specialists in the strategist, we're both doing the job which was

Speaker:

causing, um, what would you say guys?

Speaker:

Tension like overwhelmed, but it speaks to the fact that if you hire, like, if

Speaker:

you hire smart people and then you just leave them alone, that's what I think I'm

Speaker:

really good at is just not doing anything.

Speaker:

For an example, we have an intern today.

Speaker:

He created an SOP for the agency.

Speaker:

Like even the interns are taking actions.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Our answers are bad-ass by the way, I was a little nervous.

Speaker:

I was like, I don't know who these guys, but they like came out swinging.

Speaker:

Um, yeah, so I would just clean.

Speaker:

You don't have to manage smart people.

Speaker:

I just get out of their way.

Speaker:

And then they take things and they run with it.

Speaker:

I'm the dumbest human at this agency.

Speaker:

And I know that sounds like something that somebody would say,

Speaker:

but worked here for a little bit.

Speaker:

You'd be like, oh no, Um, Sean had to join just to tell you

Speaker:

that I appreciate you guys.

Speaker:

I was hesitant to adopt Pemex right away, but your videos helped me get over it.

Speaker:

My clients.

Speaker:

Thank you as well.

Speaker:

That's awesome, Shawn.

Speaker:

Thanks for that, man.

Speaker:

Appreciate you.

Speaker:

Uh, toys, net.

Speaker:

We have transactions.

Speaker:

All website data is our primary conversion and purchase from

Speaker:

the website is the secondary.

Speaker:

It seems like secondary is more accurate.

Speaker:

Should we switch?

Speaker:

That's interesting fellows.

Speaker:

Do you guys see that one you want to drop into slack know?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

It's in slack.

Speaker:

This is a toy LLC.

Speaker:

They do circumcisions.

Speaker:

Just kidding transactions, all website data and purchase from the website.

Speaker:

I think there isn't that the same thing.

Speaker:

Like if you say transaction, Google analytics and the other

Speaker:

one is manual setup for check out.

Speaker:

The thing I'm reading, it sounds like the two are the same.

Speaker:

And action is the analytics.

Speaker:

One analytics data is always off, so yeah, I'd switch it.

Speaker:

Don't trust the analytics.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

So toy snips, switch it and sorry, from my bedroom.

Speaker:

Uh, Theodore, can you explain to us the difference between metrics

Speaker:

conversion value and conversion value by conversion time?

Speaker:

When reporting to clients, is it better to use conversion value or

Speaker:

conversion value by conversion time?

Speaker:

John's obsessed with conversion value by conversion time, because it shows

Speaker:

the conversions in real time instead of attributed to when the click happened.

Speaker:

So there's no wholesale rule here.

Speaker:

It depends on what it is that you're trying to get across, but

Speaker:

conversion value by conversion time.

Speaker:

If you're looking at a, at a window, gives you a little bit more in the way of,

Speaker:

um, of reality for that specific window, it saves you from what happens when.

Speaker:

When you're not able to see what happened before.

Speaker:

What happened after?

Speaker:

How did I do there guys?

Speaker:

Would you add context to that?

Speaker:

That's good.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So good conversion value and conversion value by conversion time.

Speaker:

So I was just explain them the basics, how Google calculates

Speaker:

conversion value by conversion time.

Speaker:

So it's conversion value dragged on that day and divide these spend.

Speaker:

So, uh, that means that you are tracking real time conversion

Speaker:

value or real time ROAS.

Speaker:

So, uh, the Tinder, if you want to look at data, so just check, uh, conversion

Speaker:

value by sorry, conversion value in Google analytics and, and check in version value

Speaker:

in Google ads, you will see a difference.

Speaker:

So, and, and.

Speaker:

I do the same thing.

Speaker:

Uh, check conversion value, violin, Google analytics, and check Google

Speaker:

a second version value back in version time in Google ads, you

Speaker:

will see, uh, they are clues.

Speaker:

So that means that conversion value by conversion time is real time.

Speaker:

So that's why, when you are reporting anything to the client,

Speaker:

just use by time, call themselves.

Speaker:

So like conversion by conversion time, conversion value by conversion

Speaker:

time and to calculate through us, actually, we have a column which

Speaker:

is a ROAS by doing so ROAS by time.

Speaker:

So you have to create a custom column for that, which is conversion value by

Speaker:

conversion time divided by cost and 200.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So, so you can calculate.

Speaker:

Real time.

Speaker:

That's surprising.

Speaker:

They don't have that default inside of Google ads.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So I think that's why they have custom columns.

Speaker:

Yeah, we are good point.

Speaker:

I mean, there's so many things that they should have default.

Speaker:

What was the column that John got added?

Speaker:

Uh, customer about customer lifetime.

Speaker:

Oh no.

Speaker:

You know what it was, it was when you add conversion value

Speaker:

for new customer acquisition, you can see real conversion value.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

It's like saying John was here instead of Google is pretty cool.

Speaker:

Um, can we, it says URL expansion is allowing Google to create title

Speaker:

descriptions from landing page.

Speaker:

That's what Encore was saying.

Speaker:

Dave says there was an article about your expansion today.

Speaker:

Dave, can you send that to me?

Speaker:

Will you drop that in the chat?

Speaker:

I really want to see that, um, Two-ish knit.

Speaker:

We have a performance max for Mexican versions, but we want to wait three

Speaker:

weeks before setting a target.

Speaker:

CPA will change and conversion target restart the three

Speaker:

weeks to let Google learn.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Any change will restart learning, right guys?

Speaker:

Nope.

Speaker:

Uh, Steve guys, I followed feed army to set up my Shopify

Speaker:

conversions and it didn't quite work.

Speaker:

I then gave the task to a dev on fiber and now my conversions rock.

Speaker:

I'm shocked at the quality of labor available in fiber.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So that's good to know, Steve, thank you.

Speaker:

Via using the same code for all of our clients.

Speaker:

So it's working for us.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I, I have an exception, like sometimes, uh, you know, Shopify has

Speaker:

different themes and sometimes when somebody creates a unique theme,

Speaker:

sometimes they change variables.

Speaker:

If those variables don't match, like let's say the, uh, product value

Speaker:

variable is a product dash, um, value.

Speaker:

I D dash value.

Speaker:

Sometimes it's changed.

Speaker:

Sometimes it may up your theme.

Speaker:

You have to check that team.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Great input.

Speaker:

Ryan says, would it makes sense to build an audience segment that

Speaker:

includes both previous visitor data and branded search terms.

Speaker:

Where should those be separated?

Speaker:

Separate two separate asset groups, right?

Speaker:

Yup.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

All the time.

Speaker:

Yes, Ryan separating.

Speaker:

They forego.

Speaker:

If you turn on the funnel URL, expansion feature, headlines and descriptions

Speaker:

may be auto-generated for search text based on the provided funnel URL.

Speaker:

This is not available to campaigns with exclusively store goals.

Speaker:

Not sure like that at all.

Speaker:

I don't think I understood what you just said, Dave.

Speaker:

Really smart.

Speaker:

Um, you are expansion is for DAC part of performance, max.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So.

Speaker:

I think we use UL expansion for that.

Speaker:

So let's say you are running a DA's campaign and there

Speaker:

we have dynamic ad targets.

Speaker:

So Google to UL expansion.

Speaker:

So we can just exclude blogs and everything.

Speaker:

And, and so blogs or other content can come up in Google search.

Speaker:

I w with URL expansion, with DSA, Google's using DSL.

Speaker:

For search term, targeting with your expansion goals, using Google, using

Speaker:

neural expansion in the same way it's using GSA, but it's using it yes.

Speaker:

For landing page targeting as well.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

So it's a little bit more complex than just content crawl.

Speaker:

I, and I'm, I'm actually not challenging.

Speaker:

I'm more curious because I don't know how you will expansion works.

Speaker:

It's just, it's just exciting to me that Google would choose what page we land on.

Speaker:

Um, Uh, Justin desk and those columns will be added to my account.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I hope I hope they should be.

Speaker:

I don't know why I didn't have them in new summit.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I didn't have him in the same damn, uh, client in his summit did, which was crazy.

Speaker:

your videos.

Speaker:

And you're still wondering why the I'm being punished.

Speaker:

Um, Etsy just shut down $50,000 a month account three days ago.

Speaker:

Should I be doing.

Speaker:

Uh, bestsellers campaigns, 150 bestselling campaigns, sports

Speaker:

automotive sci-fi categories.

Speaker:

That's enough.

Speaker:

I don't know that.

Speaker:

I understand Brett.

Speaker:

I think he was saying he could take all his Etsy bestsellers

Speaker:

and put them on Google for Pemex.

Speaker:

Is that what it is as to just sit down?

Speaker:

I think he's talking about his SD account, not Google ads.

Speaker:

So take all of your stuff from Etsy and throw to Google ad, uh, Brett, and

Speaker:

I would say use all your skews, right.

Speaker:

Is there any reason to limit it unless there's margin issues?

Speaker:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker:

Use all of them, but don't the only thing I'll add to that is don't

Speaker:

expect the stuff that was selling on Etsy to sell just as well on Google.

Speaker:

They're two very different platform and very different customer basis.

Speaker:

So what Mike was selling really well on Etsy might not set up to sell it all on.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

That's why we recommend go with all products.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Go with everything.

Speaker:

Product works.

Speaker:

Unless there's fulfillment issues.

Speaker:

If you have, if you're going to run out of something, stop, don't

Speaker:

bring it to me again, because we have clients that do that.

Speaker:

They're like, oh, go sell this.

Speaker:

And we're like, we sold them all.

Speaker:

We're so happy.

Speaker:

And they're like, oh, well, we're out now.

Speaker:

And we can't have more for nine months.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Uh, that's so funny.

Speaker:

Sean says click cease.

Speaker:

Doesn't seem to work for my clients either.

Speaker:

Hashtag shocker.

Speaker:

Sorry.

Speaker:

Um, Michael asks, I think we already answered this.

Speaker:

Can you, uh, force PMX campaigns to be primarily Google shopping based?

Speaker:

Some of my smart shopping campaigns have worked historically better

Speaker:

than some of my PMX campaigns.

Speaker:

Uh, you can't anymore, not after Google rolls out smart shopping.

Speaker:

Um, Justin, do you wait the full 45 days after launching PMX before starting to

Speaker:

turn off underperforming listing groups?

Speaker:

Depends.

Speaker:

If something is excessively overspending and doing bad while the

Speaker:

other ones aren't spending at all, then I'll turn that one off and get

Speaker:

to give the other ones a chance.

Speaker:

But if they're all evenly spending, then I wouldn't really touch it.

Speaker:

Uh, questions.

Speaker:

How can I send any questions when I'm unable to attend live?

Speaker:

Well, it's the times I can't attend live right now.

Speaker:

Steve, we're having a tough time managing all of this.

Speaker:

I'm trying to figure out.

Speaker:

Somebody asked for a membership for solutions eight.

Speaker:

So we're building a membership.

Speaker:

Oh, let me go ask Julian where there is, um, updates on our membership.

Speaker:

So that'll be a little bit more robust, but until then, right now,

Speaker:

it's kind of like a show upper.

Speaker:

We're going to have a more difficult time.

Speaker:

I'm so sorry.

Speaker:

I hope that didn't sound too.

Speaker:

Uh, we've got five minutes.

Speaker:

So I'm going to go rapid fire.

Speaker:

You guys ready for rapid fire.

Speaker:

What are your thoughts on targeting multiple countries of sale within the same

Speaker:

Pemex campaigns when usually takes over that idea targets that, but interesting.

Speaker:

How do we know that?

Speaker:

Cause I did it.

Speaker:

what is a good strategy for stepping down budget?

Speaker:

We started off a lot higher than we, I think we.

Speaker:

put it to you realize, oh, that's smart.
