I just found this group today and have been consuming the free course. Excited to test a few things outs. A few questions @Austin LeClear I ran some PMax 2022 when it was forced over and in Q1 of 2023. I have some old campaigns that have conversion history. But with it being 12-18 months since I last ran Pmax would you start entirely fresh or would you turn on the best performing of 3-5 old Pmax campaigns and then restructure/update them per this outline. Would using the old one help the campaign optimize quicker. I can't remember the exact reason I went away, but they did have decent performance. My last 18 months has been relying on Brand Search, Traditional Search, and Standard Shopping and I just can't get the Standard Shopping to scale like I need and I think by running PMax I will get preferential treatment in the auction. And honestly I could use some low hanging fruit these days and if that comes with PMax I'm fine with that. I've heard a lot of people trash on how it just retargets and can't scale, but my sales are slow this time of year with my products being a spring/summer offering. Also I'm curious if you would create Asset Groups with overlapping categories. It's not the same as duplicating and then changing audience signals, which you very clearly say not to do. This is having products that can apply to one asset group with one entire message angle and then having those products in a different asset group, but the messaging is entirely different. Thanks for your input.

I created two new campaigns for a new collection on my website with brand new products. I created one PMAX campaign and one search campaign. Search is 15€/day - max conversion value as an objective (no ROAS limit) PMAX is 15€/day - max conversion value as an objective (no ROAS limit) I've also tried with maximise converion as an campaign goal but it did not work either. Anyone have had the same issue before?

Hi how can I ensure an ad for a local business is showing in the maps? Thanks in advance Lawrence

I run a local service-based business (gym) and I’m looking for help with setting up Google Ads to generate leads. I have a daily budget of $25-50. Could anyone offer advice on: - Search Campaign structure (or advice if you think I should do more than search...?) - Any tips on keywords would be awesome - Any tips for optimizing on this smaller budget would be greatly appreciated! P.S. I'm also looking to not get scammed if I hire someone - is this worth hiring someone to do it for me? I have marketing experience so I'm not bad with tech - have run FB ads for years.

how long will it take to see results in the shopping campaign with my supplements brand? We used to market on meta and now we want to use google ads because the majority of the brands market here.
