Joshua:

It's insane.

2

:

this is a really good account

on a big transition away from

3

:

PMX to standard shopping.

4

:

What we're going to be doing is take

a look at what standard shopping did.

5

:

At a certain timeframe, comparably

to what did PMAX do during

6

:

the similar or same timeframe.

7

:

Hey, how's it going everyone.

8

:

This is Josh over here at Solutions Aids.

9

:

I am a client manager, and today we're

going to be talking about a transition

10

:

away from PMAX into standard shopping.

11

:

And we're not only going to show you

the in app numbers, but we're also

12

:

going to show you the backend numbers.

13

:

where he's actually getting out

of it, what his revenue is for

14

:

some customers and go from there.

15

:

But a big disclaimer here.

16

:

Is this guy is very seasonal.

17

:

He sells a lot of

fertilizers, garden supplies.

18

:

he starts ramping up in March.

19

:

Then around summertime, like

May ish, he starts to be fully

20

:

optimized for conversions.

21

:

Everyone's buying.

22

:

And then around October, November,

he starts dying off because no one

23

:

wants to be outside when it's cold.

24

:

So that's the disclaimer there.

25

:

We don't want to look at month

over month and say, standard

26

:

shopping is doing really good.

27

:

That's because we're scaling and we're

going to the busier season or we're

28

:

going to be doing is take a look at

what standard shopping did at a certain

29

:

timeframe, comparatively to what did PMAX

do during the similar or same timeframe.

30

:

So right now, I have December 20th

and 10th, March 10th selected.

31

:

So that's when we switch away

from PMAX into standard shopping.

32

:

And I'm comparing that to the previous

year's numbers of what PMAX did.

33

:

And right off the bat, you can see

we're spending 26 percent less or 7.

34

:

4, compared to 10 K from last time.

35

:

So that's a 26 percent difference.

36

:

And you can already see, the

conversions are a lot more 351 compared

37

:

to 302, 16 percent change on that.

38

:

CPCs are down by 30 and

the rose is down up by 39%.

39

:

So it's pretty drastic change of

this year's numbers versus last

40

:

year's numbers inside Google ads.

41

:

But we want to make sure

is top of the line shopping

42

:

really, there's no brand in it.

43

:

We want to make sure that it's

all cold traffic in there.

44

:

So we could see that, that is.

45

:

Only cold traffic as much as possible.

46

:

We don't want to have any

brand in there or brand terms.

47

:

It can inflate that row as so what

we're going to be taking a look at

48

:

is Pmax right here, the same thing.

49

:

It doesn't really show brand a whole lot.

50

:

Maybe there's right here, wine or some

odd conversion here and there for.

51

:

But the only issue or the big

issue with PMAX sometimes is you

52

:

can't control all the levers.

53

:

your display remarketing or remarketing

in general, you can't really separate that

54

:

out like you can with standard shopping.

55

:

So that's the big issue with PMAX is

you're pulling all the levers all at

56

:

once, letting the floodgates open.

57

:

And you can't separate

out that cold traffic.

58

:

You can't do a standard shopping.

59

:

So big difference with that is this

is way more controlled than Pmax.

60

:

I could increase or lower the budget

on just that cold traffic and make

61

:

sure that I'm not remarketing as much,

let him remarket on his email list.

62

:

And that's what I'm

letting him do right now.

63

:

And it's working out

very well for the client.

64

:

So we're not wasting as much

budget on, spending X, Y, Z.

65

:

So let's say they come in the first

time, they're convert and then they

66

:

want to come back in and we're spending,

five or 10 for that person and come

67

:

back for remarketing them on PMAX

versus, something that could be like

68

:

2 cents on the email side of things.

69

:

So just keep that in mind.

70

:

But take a look at the back end

numbers, same timeframe, 20th to 10th.

71

:

He is 18 percent more in turtle cells.

72

:

So not only is he spending less, 26

percent less during that timeframe, he's

73

:

also making more money in total cells.

74

:

He has 17 percent more

conversions, on his site.

75

:

And also the biggest kicker here is

he has 13 percent more first time

76

:

customers than he did before last year.

77

:

with first time customers

is first time revenue.

78

:

The big indication of, yes, I can

keep scaling this more and more.

79

:

So we want to see, okay, we're

going to start catching up to

80

:

budget what we did last year.

81

:

So really hard scaling right now.

82

:

we're about 9 percent away from

what we're spending before.

83

:

So we're spending about 3.

84

:

7 compared to 4.

85

:

1 for the last 30 days.

86

:

And we're making about 23 percent

more conversions than before.

87

:

take a look at the last 30 days on the

backend 17 percent more total sales.

88

:

And the big thing here is, holy crap,

23 percent more first time customers

89

:

from this year versus last year.

90

:

So big difference there is yes,

we're even scaling up and we're doing

91

:

better this year than last year.

92

:

And I think this client is going to

be killing it and his busy season.

93

:

So I'm thinking maybe even double

the budget, have doubled the

94

:

performance, have doubled the revenue.

95

:

And whatnot.

96

:

So this client is huge indications already

or early indications of yes, scale this

97

:

as hard as possible, and see what comes

out of this, during the busy season.

98

:

So maybe I'll have another video of you

guys, coming in on, after the busy season,

99

:

during busy season, give you guys update

on this account and then go from there.

100

:

But yeah, super excited.

101

:

Take a look at the first time

orders and compare it to customers.

102

:

You can see that.

103

:

the first order date for the last

30 days is two 17, comparatively to,

104

:

last year's truth being access one 80.

105

:

So you can see that the 37, customer

change, from this later to last year.

106

:

like I said, really good

indications of scaling this guy up.

107

:

And as you can see here, if I take off

that a little bit more clear, can I

108

:

see we start to, Do the cost on here.

109

:

It's see the budget is we are starting

from 77 and now we're up to 216.

110

:

So we're really hard scaling

this as hard as possible.

111

:

Like I said, we're going to go

past his budget from before.

112

:

See where we're at.

113

:

And if we're doing better than

before, which I think we will be.

114

:

we're going to scale even more

and more until we hit a wall to

115

:

where our performance doesn't

make sense to where he's spending

116

:

his budget from last year to now.

117

:

So I don't know this guy, it's insane.

118

:

this is a really good account

on a big transition away from

119

:

PMAX to standard shopping.

120

:

And we're going to see, like I said, this

year, I think it's going to be super big

121

:

for this guy if the market doesn't crash,

so let's see how things work out with

122

:

this guy and go from there, but we'll see.

123

:

Other than that, that's

basically it for you guys.

124

:

until next time.
