How do you actually manage your Google Ads on a day-to-day, week-to-week, or month-to-month basis? In episode 129 of Inside Google Ads, host Jyll Saskin Gales breaks down exactly how to approach campaign management across three distinct scenarios: launching a brand new campaign, maintaining a campaign that is already performing well, and diagnosing a campaign that is struggling. Whether you are dealing with skyrocketing CPCs or trying to figure out when to let machine learning do its job, this episode offers a practical framework for confident account management.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Managing New Campaigns: What metrics to check after 2 to 3 days, with benchmarks for each campaign type.
• The "If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It" Maxim: Why a clean change history can be a sign of true expertise, and how to shift to higher-impact monthly tasks.
• Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis: How to diagnose performance issues at the source instead of relying on ineffective "band-aid" tactics.
• The Reality of Rising CPCs: A simple exercise in the Search Terms Report to understand how Smart Bidding takes calculated risks on high-value conversions.
