  • Experiment Results: Should I Rank 1st for My #1 Keyword

    In this video, Regina Bellows shows the results of an experiment that was bidding for 100% absolute top of the page impression share for the clients' top-performing keyword.

    This is a follow-up from this video:

    🥇 Should I Rank 1st for My #1 Keyword?: https://youtu.be/n7wD9IN0TIU


    Forgot to mention: Near the end of the video when I show the "SEO Agency" ad group, the reason why it's paused is that we recently decided to move it into its own campaign & give it its own budget. But it was active while the experiment ran.

    2:44 If conversion-based bidding strategies work better, when would you use target CPM or max CPV?

    4:29 Does GADS consider on-page behavior from GA?

    5:26 Other factors to consider when choosing the bidding strategy (apart from the nature of bid strategies)

  • Are My YouTube Campaigns Working?!

    If Google says your YouTube campaigns aren’t working, don’t stop your ads just yet! Google does a very poor job at identifying if a YouTube campaign is working well over a longer period of time.

    In this episode, John explains why that’s the case, and shows you the metrics to analyze to make sure your YouTube Ads are working. Plus, he gives tips on how you can reach more people with your YouTube ads.

    0:00 Intro | Are My YouTube Campaigns Working?!

    0:41 How Google identifies the performance of YouTube campaigns

    5:58 Break down your ad groups

    9:54 Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) vs Lifetime Value (LTV)

  • YouTube & Shopify Integration With Eli Gurock of Magic Beans

    Eli Gurock schools us up on the new Shopify and YouTube Shopping integration- what it is, how it works, and what this could mean for business owners and digital marketing.

    The new integration allows you to upload and sync your Shopify store to YouTube by pinning products next to your videos. Shopify and YouTube announced the integration last July.

    As described by YouTube:

    “Creators who link their stores can display their products across their channel and benefit from Shopify’s real-time inventory syncing, so that viewers are never disappointed to find a product out of stock. And, for a more seamless shopping experience, creators in the US can enable onsite checkout so that viewers can complete their purchases without leaving YouTube.”

    Source: Ready, Set, Shop on YouTube

    https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/...

    Eli Gurock of Magic Beans, who’s also one of our clients, just set up the integration on his accounts. And he’s here with Kasim to share his initial thoughts on how it can impact digital marketers like himself.

    17:58 The strong traffic channel Eli is investing in

    20:26 Is Google’s SERP becoming a trainwreck?
