AMA Answers May 2024
Not sure everyone saw my response in the AMA thread so going to send this out as a separate thread.
Thanks to everyone who asked questions for the AMA. I recorded a Loom video response to all questions and also have the transcript summary below.
Summary:
Here's a summary of your key answers from the AMA video transcript:
Starting a Google Ads Agency:
  • Start with an industry you know or are interested in
  • Get one good case study to showcase your results
  • Use that case study to cold outreach and get your first few paying clients
  • Don't try to niche down too narrowly at first
Tracking Important Metrics:
  • Focus on conversion metrics - conversion volume, rate, cost per acquisition, ROAS
  • In early stages, monitor click-through rates and impression share to ensure bids aren't too high
Setting Up Offline Conversions:
  • Didn't provide specifics, said it can get quite technical
  • Typically work with CRMs and use Zapier for integrating offline conversions
Audience Setup:
  • For most sites, use basic audiences like 7/30/90 day website visitors
  • Don't get too granular unless you have very high traffic volumes
Pricing Structure:
  • Prefer flat-rate pricing model based on ad spend for simplicity
  • Some agencies use percentage of ad spend model
Targeting Specifics:
  • You can still target specific YouTube videos/channels
  • Recommended trying Local Services Ads for local businesses
Performance Max:
  • No plans to replace standard Shopping campaigns with Performance Max currently
  • Google pushes Performance Max heavily but other campaign types remain
Other Topics:
  • Provided tips on budgeting, profitability forecasting
  • Struggles with success on Discovery/Demand Gen campaigns
  • Plans to create videos on auditing accounts, structuring ecommerce campaigns
