I am building an excel training programme for PPC (Paid Search, Social, Display, etc.) managers.

I am an excel aficionado and am a bit concerned about overdoing it. What do you think should be the main points to cover for people you have to optimise and report on Paid Media campaigns? #PPC #Excel #Reporting

I write TV commercials, and since Bulova created the first TV ad, I’ve been interested in adding one to the collection. I know more about their ad history than the actual watches. Anyone have a recommendation?

Freelancers, for a month long project that you were interested in, for a small shop, do you cut your rate/accept a fee for the full 4 weeks? And if so, by how much feels comfortable/fair for both? Let’s say your average day rate was about 1k a day as a base for discussion.

Hi PPC Guru’s

I recently started a local store visit campaign but it’s not allowing me to optimize towards store visits. My Google rep doesn’t know what she’s doing I swear, she’s not had any answers and she’s the one the recommended we utilize this ad type. Any ideas why it’s not letting me optimize towards this? Get directions is what I currently have it set as and we are getting conversions but we really want the store visits. Thanks so much!!

Hey y'all. Haven't seen a PPC bowl yet. Let's talk awesome!

Dear Fishbowl PPCers I need your help!

A client is insisting we used Adobe bod manager for their campaigns, and neither me nor my team have experience with it.

We're also not on a timeline where we can really get up to speed on it ahead of a couple deadlines.

I've also argued for budget for external consulting hours and that's been disapproved.

I'm on my own. Or am I?

Hoping some kind soul with experience managing Google Ads through Adobe can help me out.

Does anyone use Universal Local Campaigns? A client wants supplemental support for specific locations. I’ve never run a ULC campaign targeting a single location - any idea if this would compete with our existing campaigns targeting the same locations (we run campaigns targeting location groups by region)? Can a ULC targeting a single location see scale without sacrificing too much cost/store visit efficiency? Google Help articles are, unsurprisingly, no help.

I’ve been a search manager for 8 years. What kind of role can I take on at a place like Google etc ? I am trying to figure out what’s next for me.

Question for agency PPC experts. Who is responsible for your client's monthly paid ads budget? The PPC expert employee or someone else in the company keeps track of the budgets to not overspend?

Question for paid search experts who have big agency experienc (e.g. big 4, dentsu, etc.) - is it considered standard to use SKAG instead of STAG, and use alpha/beta structures?...even with the changes Google has made to phrase and exact match? The various agencies I've worked at (small agencies) never use that method.

If you were interviewing someone from a small agency and they said they didn't use those types of account structures, would you think they were inexperienced?
