Transcript
I just started tweeting by the way I started a week ago.
kasim:And this morning I've had a spectrum of experiences.
kasim:I posted this thing about how I don't think people should go to college anymore.
kasim:And I had a lady,
kasim:I support that by the way, I support that a hundred percent.
kasim:Think you got way like a master's doctorate, triple PhD, master's in
kasim:electrical and computer engineering guys.
kasim:And I looked at brain scans.
kasim:I could tell you if a person has dementia or Alzheimer's just by looking at it.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Dr.
kasim:Khan, Dr.
kasim:Khan.
kasim:So what's funny is I posted this thing on Twitter, not thinking too much of
kasim:it, like the advice I'm getting in the training I'm doing is just like,
kasim:be yourself, post your opinions.
kasim:whatever mm-hmm . And so I post this thing and this woman starts in on me
kasim:about how I'm raising my children.
kasim:So I got like super and I don't like it when people don't like
kasim:me, cuz I have no self-esteem.
kasim:On one end I had this horrible conversation with this lady who was like
kasim:attacking my parenting, but then I ended up having this conversation with this guy
kasim:chandler, who disagrees with everything I'm saying, but it's a super productive,
kasim:really kind like actual discussion, which I crave that type of thing.
kasim:So I don't know, man.
kasim:Twitter's hard.
kasim:It's there's pros and cons.
kasim:I have opinion too, but here
kasim:let's not hit Twitter.
kasim:Alright, so you two are obviously not John, right?
kasim:But John is what is he doing?
kasim:He's RV, the Bootle versions of.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:John is on an RV trip somewhere.
kasim:What is he doing?
kasim:John's on an RV trip.
kasim:So I brought in two of our strategists to come.
kasim:And when I say I brought y'all in you volunteered.
kasim:Cause I posted in our strategy thread.
kasim:He offered me dinner guys.
kasim:I was bride what
kasim:hashtag ramen noodle.
kasim:So we're gonna get into that.
kasim:We've already got some questions dropping.
kasim:Jason, James is here.
kasim:What's up?
kasim:Jason, Archie Jeter.
kasim:Archie says, what are your thoughts on creating two feeds, one for
kasim:standard, one for PAX, for the same products, different IDs.
kasim:So they don't cannibalize each other.
kasim:That's actually really smart.
kasim:Somebody tell me why that won't work.
kasim:It will work.
kasim:And because you'll be taking up two spots on this shopping network,
kasim:You'll be double serving, but I've seen it work well.
kasim:And by people in the us too,
kasim:there was a strategy that was being run a year ago, and I don't know how
kasim:effective it is anymore where people would take their best performing
kasim:products, duplicate them and launch ads, campaigns for them again.
kasim:So, this is kind of like what he's doing here.
kasim:The only thing I'd recommend here is make sure you have GTN so you
kasim:can share the data across products.
kasim:That was gonna be my question.
kasim:If you have GTMs and they're similar across products, won't
kasim:that be the indication Google needs in order to not double screen?
kasim:No.
kasim:No, because technically they're different products.
kasim:They're gonna have different ideas.
kasim:It's just gonna be the same product, because there's gonna be a bunch
kasim:of people with the same product.
kasim:Like if you're selling a Dell laptop, it's gonna have the same GTN.
kasim:If you're selling it FA selling it and I'm selling it.
kasim:But would Google serve the same GTN from the same account?
kasim:I feel like they should have a safeguard there.
kasim:That's a really good idea.
kasim:Archie.
kasim:That's a good one.
kasim:I'd be interested to see what happens if you try that.
kasim:That's a good test.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:I actually think it would work out, especially because
kasim:you'd have keywords for it.
kasim:And you could use the typical standard shopping approaches.
kasim:Yeah, I forgot to let this question flash.
kasim:So I did that Ryan's theory says happy Friday, gentleman college
kasim:is still great for binge drinking.
kasim:That's so funny.
kasim:Cause it's true.
kasim:That's the only thing I missed out on college was I
kasim:feel like I would've had fun.
kasim:It's a great place to make friends.
kasim:That's the only thing I have, like go to college, make some
kasim:lifelong friends and then do well.
kasim:And dude, depending on where you go to college, like if you go to
kasim:college in Stanford, like you're probably friends with the next
kasim:president, you know what I mean?
kasim:So the networking is probably president with like a future CEO
kasim:of some company somewhere, Yeah.
kasim:Mm-hmm uhto arms of Andes this year.
kasim:Ryan says started a PAX campaign on Wednesday, congrats, a
kasim:hundred asset groups, right?
kasim:With $650 a day budget, we've received nearly two months worth of
kasim:impressions in two days, but only one conversion and terrible CTR.
kasim:Is this normal?
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Give it a couple days.
kasim:It's been two days, right?
kasim:Yep.
kasim:From what we heard from Google.
kasim:Like you have to give like six months, three weeks, especially if it's a
kasim:brand new account, give it a while.
kasim:Oh.
kasim:Cause they don't trust you.
kasim:Cause like there are too many indicators.
kasim:Google is going to test seven channels.
kasim:My showing seven.
kasim:This is too, you're just too narrow.
kasim:Let me see if I on the left, if they have channels and different kind of people.
kasim:So it's going to stop by like, should I use this way?
kasim:Should I use YouTube?
kasim:Should I use shopping?
kasim:So it's gonna go wild.
kasim:You're gonna see some unrelated unrelevant keywords in your search themes,
kasim:but give it some time consider your conversion leg also two days just too new
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:And what was the execution model also if you're running a
kasim:first click and if you had smart shopping campaigns from previous.
kasim:Those new conversions can end up in your past smart shopping or your old campaigns.
kasim:You should check that also was, this was Ryan's question, cuz Ryan just
kasim:said it isn't a brand new account.
kasim:We've had smart shopping, running for a few months with around consistent ORs.
kasim:Ryan waited out if you're running it at the same budget as before and
kasim:smart shopping was working well, let it run for a couple weeks before
kasim:you make a judgment call on it.
kasim:Ryan also added some context.
kasim:He said also we sell leather goods for apple products and we have
kasim:a lot of limited assets due to headline descriptions containing
kasim:trademark phrases like iPhone apple.
kasim:Is there a way around this?
kasim:Nope.
kasim:Yes.
kasim:Especially not with apple.
kasim:That those no apple different way with one P
kasim:That's so funny though.
kasim:Arms and Andes Freecom brands.
kasim:We're running a hyper segmented PAX campaign.
kasim:Now with our summer shirts, when winter comes, should we add a new
kasim:asset group or run a separate PAX campaign with our winter jackets?
kasim:I don't have a direct answer for that because we're testing the
kasim:different change in seasonality.
kasim:We have a couple accounts that we're launching new PAX
kasim:depending on this season.
kasim:And another couple accounts that where you just created new asset groups.
kasim:I think this is my personal opinion now on this, because we don't
kasim:have direct numbers to show this.
kasim:I think the, the same campaign with the new asset groups, or even
kasim:swapping out images and some ad copy is gonna work for you better
kasim:than a completely new PAX campaign.
kasim:And the reason I say that is because your audience is generally gonna be the same.
kasim:If you're running a brand, you just have different products yeah.
kasim:To push.
kasim:If that makes sense different seasons I will run the same performance banks
kasim:campaign also, but I would try to guide it with the supplementary campaign.
kasim:So if you're running in winter, so let's say you started selling jackets.
kasim:So I would create some protein, CPA or DSA campaigns for those
kasim:winter product to push those search terms inside of performance Macs.
kasim:Good advice.
kasim:Jason, James what's y'all's opinion on running standard shopping
kasim:campaigns when PAX isn't performing
kasim:do it standard.
kasim:I still have time.
kasim:Why standard
kasim:no, that's what I was gonna say.
kasim:If PAX doesn't perform, what are other options do you have?
kasim:Yeah, exactly.
kasim:Cuz smart is gone.
kasim:So if PMAP doesn't perform it's more or less doesn't necessarily mean the
kasim:shopping network isn't performing.
kasim:It could be a mixture of shopping being working fine, but the other not so well.
kasim:Right.
kasim:Because your products are working well on one network, it doesn't necessarily
kasim:mean it's gonna work with a three X rule as across the board on all networks.
kasim:Right?
kasim:So if you're P.
kasim:No matter what you tried, doesn't work, go for the ju the more
kasim:standard approaches we have.
kasim:I know we preach PAX, but that doesn't mean you gotta stick to it all the time.
kasim:I was I'm about to say something that's gonna make me just sound like
kasim:a fricking indoctrinated, Google P.
kasim:If PAX fails, my first assumption is gonna be that you didn't run it.
kasim:Right.
kasim:I would check and test, did I make changes too early?
kasim:Did I add a two row as when I shouldn't have, have I updated anything in
kasim:the campaign that reset learning
kasim:you know what I mean?
kasim:Like make sure you are a thousand percent sure that you actually ran
kasim:PAX and gave it an adequate, I mean, did you spend enough money?
kasim:Did you wait enough time?
kasim:Those are the two really big ones.
kasim:And then if that's the case, there are campaigns where PAX
kasim:fails and what John has told me.
kasim:And I think what these fellas do too, is then we do lean into traditional
kasim:campaigns and there's a bunch of them.
kasim:Yeah, it works really well.
kasim:We've skilled multiple clients using them and we've.
kasim:Saved clients using it, but at the same time, it's not gonna work
kasim:every single time for everything.
kasim:Here's the freaking problem though.
kasim:We haven't had a single, not one legacy, actually.
kasim:One of you correct me on whether or not this is true.
kasim:Here's the way that I currently believe the state and nature
kasim:of the situation to be.
kasim:We haven't had a single client that we were running that was successful with
kasim:any other Google ad channel, where we turned on PAX and it didn't work.
kasim:All of our legacy clients PAX worked, the only failed PAX
kasim:campaigns we had were new clients.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:And all that tells me is once Google has cracked the code on where these people
kasim:are, it's, PMAX, it's gonna scale it.
kasim:what I've noticed, and I'm gonna just build on your point, if your
kasim:account has enough data and enough data across multiple campaign types.
kasim:Right.
kasim:So if you've been running search, if you've been running only shopping.
kasim:PAX is gonna take a little bit while to pick up.
kasim:But if you've been running, shopping, search remarket, dynamic
kasim:ads YouTube and all that stuff, your PAX will go up like this.
kasim:That's what I've noticed.
kasim:Like if your account is already running a bunch of different campaign types, your
kasim:PAX picks up immediate almost instantly.
kasim:If that makes sense.
kasim:No, that doesn't make sense.
kasim:Jason is saying, I can tell you everything we did, right.
kasim:It just failed.
kasim:Which Jason we've said that happened with new campaign.
kasim:What's the volume.
kasim:What is the previous performance?
kasim:So John is running big companies, right?
kasim:So when he test something, Hey, I put 5k in this campaign 5k a day after
kasim:three days, it's just skyrocket.
kasim:And sometimes people don't have that option.
kasim:So when you learn something, it cannot take off, but you should give it time
kasim:and you should consider your budget.
kasim:You should consider your industry and especially you
kasim:should consider your demand.
kasim:So.
kasim:I have multiple cases.
kasim:Performance max is profitable to a point let's say $300 per day.
kasim:If I push 400, the demand is not enough, so it cannot harvest demand anymore.
kasim:So what it does goes on more YouTube, more display.
kasim:So the raw goes down and we have to pull back.
kasim:So that's the case.
kasim:Jason says, it's Jim gear.
kasim:They spend $300 a day and they had a hard cutoff in February
kasim:to change the performance max.
kasim:So it sounds like they kind of ripped the bandaid off, but
kasim:smart shopping was performing.
kasim:That's the one thing, if smart shopping is performing and PAX didn't perform,
kasim:that sounds like there's something that needs to be dug into there.
kasim:Yeah, definitely.
kasim:We used to get 10 to 20 X row as, but PAX never got above five X.
kasim:Hm that's a first.
kasim:Yeah, and this is gonna sound more combative than, I mean, for it to be
kasim:James mm-hmm, that would be the first time we've seen that outta 200 accounts.
kasim:If smart shopping is performing PAX performed, Jason, you might
kasim:wanna check your try different creatives change up your ad.
kasim:Copy a bit.
kasim:Cuz usually those are the main factors in the PMAX your listing group is just
kasim:gonna stay the same, which means your shopping ads are gonna be the same as
kasim:they were in your smart shopping campaign.
kasim:So that's not gonna change.
kasim:The only other influencing factors are your ad copy and your what do you call it?
kasim:Pictures and videos created.
kasim:How long have you been running PAX?
kasim:Jim said, Jason said he did all that.
kasim:How long did you let it run?
kasim:Jason?
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:How long did you let it run on?
kasim:What is the prime rate?
kasim:What is the average order value for you?
kasim:If it's too high?
kasim:Cuz the smart shopping is heavily marked it's.
kasim:Then you have to hit more remarketing campaigns.
kasim:You should sub supplement it with RSA DSA dynamic, remarketing
kasim:display and remarketing, YouTube.
kasim:That's actually F actually put a really good point, Jason.
kasim:What's your average order value?
kasim:Two, three, right?
kasim:Two to three days.
kasim:It's not like you cannot expect performance max to work that immediately
kasim:with that kind of average order value, because you have to hit so
kasim:many times in somebody's having your marketing before selling mm-hmm the
kasim:PAX is 80% new users, 20% remarketing.
kasim:So we've actually kind of seen this with, just to build up on what FAA saying.
kasim:So for very high order value clients, it is hard for PAX to pick
kasim:up because if you're trying to sell something for that's two to three K.
kasim:People are gonna see need to see it a lot more than just 20% new times, right.
kasim:Which is why a thousand purchase of four week if dynamic or
kasim:marketing is on for four weeks.
kasim:If your sales cycle is a week, then dynamic or marketing
kasim:was on for three weeks.
kasim:And I don't think that's a long enough test.
kasim:I think dynamic or marketing plus PAX is going to at least address some of
kasim:the issues we're talking about here.
kasim:What is the commercial like?
kasim:But just to build on, and if you really wanna leverage the PMX teams, you gotta
kasim:let your remarketing run longer and you gotta get every shape form of remarketing.
kasim:You can to run in parallel with PMA, which includes dynamic, DSA YouTube
kasim:discovery, whatever you can think of.
kasim:Cause you're gonna need multiple touchpoint for something like that.
kasim:He said, I think you're right.
kasim:Selma.
kasim:Yes.
kasim:Arms of Andy.
kasim:Freecom what's the correct way to run one search campaign only
kasim:alongside 100% augmented PAX campaign.
kasim:Do we start off dynamic or with a T CBA?
kasim:Just run a DSA DSA, simple, easy, just run a DSA, just run a DSA
kasim:later on wild for a couple days or a couple weeks and put a TCPA on it.
kasim:David Morgan.
kasim:Hey guys.
kasim:My first PAX campaign I launched 45 days ago has spent about 5k and
kasim:is at a 12 row as which is great, but should I be increasing my CPA?
kasim:So it spends more.
kasim:Is it okay to add more asset groups?
kasim:Well you spend five K and 45 days, which makes me assume your budget
kasim:is maybe like 50, 60 bucks a day.
kasim:You have 12 asset groups.
kasim:Wait, how many asset groups did he say he had?
kasim:He didn't.
kasim:How many asset groups do you have?
kasim:David?
kasim:I'm gonna assume not enough.
kasim:but if you have little asset groups, let's say 10 to 12, keep it at that.
kasim:Until you're able to scale your campaign to spend maybe 200, $300 a day.
kasim:Because guys, if you create too many asset groups and your budget doesn't
kasim:support it, it's not gonna work.
kasim:Your budget has to support the number of asset groups you create.
kasim:Cuz remember you're testing.
kasim:I don't know if you have 20 you're testing, 20 asset groups with $50
kasim:a day in spend, which isn't ideal.
kasim:Right?
kasim:In your case, if you're hitting a 12 ROS without touching the campaign,
kasim:I'd start increasing your budget by 15, 20%, every two to three weeks,
kasim:depending how well your campaign reacts and expect the performance to dip.
kasim:Every time you adjust the budget, it's gonna go down and then it's gonna take
kasim:a couple days just staying down and then it's gonna slowly come back up
kasim:to back where it was or close to it.
kasim:Good advice.
kasim:Dave Fogel says he's given up PAX.
kasim:We still love you.
kasim:Dave Orland, max field been diving deep into Google ads from
kasim:zero knowledge of past month.
kasim:What is the best way to become proficient in Google ads?
kasim:And where did y'all.
kasim:ready to work hard, but wanting direction.
kasim:Man's a good question for you guys.
kasim:It is, and I got the perfect an answer for it, and you're gonna love it.
kasim:Go to the solutions at YouTube channel.
kasim:Find the first video and just go there's so much in there.
kasim:start from the top and work your way down.
kasim:Yo, there's so much in there.
kasim:You'll learn a thing or two, maybe not from Boston, but from John and
kasim:everybody else, you'll probably learn.
kasim:That's what I tell people.
kasim:I'm like, go watch John's videos.
kasim:My videos, I just watched John's videos.
kasim:I watch what John says internally are in hacker in company meetings.
kasim:And then I shoot videos on that.
kasim:We used to have courses Lin and I'd give you those courses, but
kasim:they're also freaking outta date.
kasim:Yeah, dude.
kasim:Here's the problem.
kasim:We launched a e-commerce masterclass in October and then PAX launched in November.
kasim:So I was just like, all right.
kasim:We're we're done the course game we're done.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:You should start with Google's free certificate, just so
kasim:you know how not to do it.
kasim:. I'll tell you,
kasim:you know,
kasim:Google certification though.
kasim:It's great with nomenclature.
kasim:They do a good job teaching you the dashboard, teaching you the verbiage
kasim:but don't trust what Google teaches you.
kasim:Yeah, but just learn, just learn the terminology.
kasim:Like you cannot jump into John's videos without knowing
kasim:your way around Google ads.
kasim:So use Google ads, certification courses to learn the words, learn
kasim:the interfaces inside Google list.
kasim:Then jump onto videos . And as far as beginner courses are concerned, I think
kasim:Isaac ruskis, TMY course is pretty good.
kasim:At leaks got ad it's really good for building context and
kasim:understanding how things work.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Ed leaks, the forge, his membership is like, I think it's probably the best
kasim:education out there for Google ads.
kasim:Mm-hmm but I wouldn't call it for beginners.
kasim:Like you can't open that thing up fresh, not the forge, his got tier
kasim:ads where he has all those PDFs.
kasim:He go, he starts from scratch and explains everything pretty well, but
kasim:yeah, you still need some context and some knowledge before you can
kasim:start reading and understanding that we should be affiliate for this damn
kasim:thing for as often a push it out.
kasim:For eCommerce, I can also suggest store grows.
kasim:That guy is amazing.
kasim:Store grows.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Never heard of him.
kasim:What channel?
kasim:Where do we go?\\
kasim:A block pay like his own website.
kasim:Okay.
kasim:He has case studies very detailed blog post.
kasim:It's amazing.
kasim:Will you drop the link to chat FA right?
kasim:Thank you.
kasim:Store growers.
kasim:just wanted to see if it worked the song heckling me in chat.
kasim:All right, next question.
kasim:Hell
kasim:Here we go, Ella Mary, for a PMA campaign with TRO as is turning on customer match
kasim:and account settings will be a good idea.
kasim:I haven't tested that to be honest, I'm not gonna lie FA no idea.
kasim:Let's test it.
kasim:And that's the same question next week.
kasim:give us a week to test it or you go test it and teach us cuz we're not sure.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:so funny arms and Andies for a clothing e-com is PAX worth running along
kasim:alone, or should it be run with search and YouTube campaigns running with
kasim:YouTube at the very least YouTube, especially remarketing clothing is
kasim:very hard to take off the ground.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:And with PMX.
kasim:You have to run dynamic remarketing, right?
kasim:Like there's no way around it because it doesn't remark all.
kasim:Cool.
kasim:David Morgan, do any, you guys use third party tracking?
kasim:Yes.
kasim:David we're advisors and investors in a software called north beam.
kasim:So we pimp out north beam pretty hard.
kasim:I've heard really good things about triple whale.
kasim:I think John helped inform the build out of that software, to be honest with you.
kasim:We don't like Hiro.
kasim:We don't like anything that uses UTM standalone because
kasim:UTM is so easy to strip.
kasim:So north beam is nice because it uses.
kasim:Multi variant tracking factors that help make sure you're
kasim:actually capturing all the touches.
kasim:The thing that I'll say about attribution software specifically is you're
kasim:never gonna get it a hundred percent.
kasim:Right.
kasim:So it's just a guiding light, but we require now all of our e-commerce
kasim:clients to use north beam, just because getting a, a read on what's actually
kasim:happening otherwise, especially if they're using other advertising
kasim:channels, it's S damn near impossible.
kasim:Would you guys add anything to that?
kasim:Nope.
kasim:No.
kasim:It's essential.
kasim:Four agencies essential, like toy snip.
kasim:We used to get a six to eight X rows in smart shopping.
kasim:We changed to PAX T CPA and we are not under four X, so we're getting many,
kasim:many, many more orders, but smaller ones.
kasim:So I have the benefit of having looked at your account choice ship and, and
kasim:the thing y'all have a great product.
kasim:The problem is . The lifetime value of your customer is gonna be low given
kasim:what it is that you're selling and your average order value is gonna be low.
kasim:What I would be doing if I were you, is I'd be, I'd be banging on
kasim:the LTV button as hard as you can.
kasim:And I think one of the things that you can do with the type of toys that
kasim:you're selling, you're learning a lot about your demographic and your avatar.
kasim:I'd be looking at subscriptions and packages.
kasim:I got my kid, this science box where we get a different
kasim:science project every month.
kasim:And then we all get to do that together.
kasim:I think if you find out somebody likes Batman toys, it's as hard to sell one
kasim:Batman toy one time as it would be to sell a Batman toy subscription.
kasim:I'm gonna, I'm gonna add on that.
kasim:Exactly what concept I'm on the website.
kasim:And if someone comes and buys the toys, they're gonna come back and
kasim:buy another one, a hundred percent.
kasim:You just gotta be in their face when they feel like buying it again.
kasim:So your remarketing needs to be on point all the time.
kasim:Right?
kasim:And have like a million different videos, like will figure out
kasim:which one works million videos is.
kasim:Right.
kasim:Jason says costumes video eight days ago about PAX told me I was.
kasim:In security's decision for going back to smart standard shopping.
kasim:That's funny, I'm talking to people at a performance max.
kasim:Now here we go.
kasim:Michael AUO is adding any asset groups to an existing PMAX campaign.
kasim:Reset the learning phase somewhat.
kasim:Yes, cuz it still has to go test those asset groups.
kasim:It might work in your favor.
kasim:It might work against you.
kasim:If the asset group is good, it'll work in your favor.
kasim:If it isn't it'll work against you, it will recover.
kasim:Your PMAX campaign will recover.
kasim:It might just take longer.
kasim:David Morgan.
kasim:My budget is at 300, but it only spends about 60 a day.
kasim:I only have one asset group.
kasim:There is there as many more asset groups as you can, David, until you actually
kasim:start spending that money, do you have a distinct billing strategy on that?
kasim:Did you start with CPA hero as.
kasim:And how long have you been running it for?
kasim:Are you just basing it off?
kasim:Like two days of running?
kasim:Yeah, I dropped that Vme takes a little bit to pick up too.
kasim:Like if you're only spending $60 a day, give it a couple days.
kasim:It'll start spending more too.
kasim:Especially if it's new, did some of the, not our accounts.
kasim:And I don't know why this says, I don't know if it has something to
kasim:do with TCP or TBR being applied.
kasim:But when I see a new PAX campaign launch, I always see a massive spike and in
kasim:the beginning, and then this instant paper, , it's always every single time.
kasim:It's always massive clients get super happy and then it goes dip.
kasim:And then it's like sh very slowly getting back up.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:And like every time to this scale, I'm like tell em, they see a massive
kasim:increase and then everything's gonna go to shit, but it's okay.
kasim:we dunno why this happens, but we know that it happens.
kasim:So it's fine.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:It starts all hanging fruits and the branded conversions to learn.
kasim:So don't be scared to see a.
kasim:Reference it uses that to learn.
kasim:So by picking out those low hanging fruits, so it's, since I'm making
kasim:that much money, I can spend more.
kasim:I can spend more.
kasim:So you'll see a spike in span on that end.
kasim:And when you exhaust that existing fruits, it's going to start to get new users.
kasim:That's when you'll see a dip in spend and roll as Dave Fogel has
kasim:an interesting question here.
kasim:How many asset groups per dollar in spend?
kasim:So if you have $50 a day, how many asset groups do you have?
kasim:Whereas if you have a hundred dollars a day, how many asset groups do you have?
kasim:That's a good dip.
kasim:A question.
kasim:Hold on.
kasim:I don't have an SOP for that.
kasim:Cause like it depends on the industry.
kasim:I'm sorry for giving like open answers, but your, if your average CPC on $1
kasim:and somebody else's every CPC around $5, it's completely different SOP.
kasim:So I don't want to give exact numbers.
kasim:. Yeah, he's got a point, but let's say in a perfect role,
kasim:you have good CP and everything.
kasim:What would be like $5 per asset group to build Michael audio Guo?
kasim:Is there a way to monitor performance on a PAX campaign at
kasim:the individual asset group level?
kasim:Dude, if we could, here's what I wonder.
kasim:Why, why won't they give us this data?
kasim:It would only help us.
kasim:There's you can watch the listing groups in asset group and you can see
kasim:what keywords converted, but it's so tedious because you have to go into
kasim:like the insights and then you have to click that little 23 asset group
kasim:put in there, and then you have to see what converted for that keyword.
kasim:Then you go through all the other keyword themes that converted and you
kasim:gotta figure out which one was working.
kasim:So it's extremely tedious to kind of identify which one's working.
kasim:And even then it's not accurate because you don't know the conversion path
kasim:that followed before it converted, which asset group it went through.
kasim:Cuz we've had that issue where we've turned off as the group and the campaigns.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Yeah, that's what's frustrating is you don't know what's gonna happen.
kasim:Google is not giving that away because the more Google gives, the more you
kasim:are likely to pause or close something.
kasim:So you may see some co conversion inside of some asset groups, but
kasim:those seems to not working well, maybe they're creating top of funnel and
kasim:you don't know that you kill that.
kasim:Then the essence group dive in Dave says I hear the data's coming soon
kasim:from my Google rep, Dave, if I had a dollar for every damn time, a
kasim:Google rep told me I was about to get something still waiting on my $5.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Toy sch snip last week, John, didn't give a final answer as I think you never tried.
kasim:What happens if two PAXs are running at the same time, one TCP and the other two
kasim:row eyes really cancel each other out.
kasim:don't do that.
kasim:Every time we launch two P max together, actually it varies.
kasim:.Sometimes it works running to, yeah.
kasim:like I won for the hero product.
kasim:I have to spend certain amount of money on that.
kasim:Then the other PAX is for all of the other products it's working pretty nice, but
kasim:that's not the use case for everybody.
kasim:So you have to think deeply.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:I've only had one use case where I'm running multiple PAX campaign effectively
kasim:and profitably, and it's, that's it.
kasim:Every time I've tried to run multiple payment campaign has been don't work.
kasim:So I've got a bad idea.
kasim:Why wouldn't you take your products and split them by margin, you
kasim:take your high margin products and run all of those T CPA.
kasim:You take your low margin products and you run all those two ROS.
kasim:Two separate campaigns.
kasim:It's stupid.
kasim:it's stupid.
kasim:Don't do it.
kasim:Just take my word for it.
kasim:We tried it.
kasim:It didn't work.
kasim:Sorry.
kasim:Yeah, face I'll let you speak phrase in campaign.
kasim:That's the issue?
kasim:So this is what Google says.
kasim:65% of the time when people click on a product, they buy that.
kasim:But other than that, they click on one product and they buy something else.
kasim:So let's say in your T cost pollination of product purchases, click on
kasim:something, but review other stuff in the TROs campaigns products.
kasim:But since the initial PAX will keep that user, it's not going to show the other
kasim:products so that, but that's the reason why sometimes two PAX doesn't work.
kasim:Great answer.
kasim:Ryan Huron.
kasim:One more quick question.
kasim:Is it possible to see how Google is spending by medium search,
kasim:shopping video, et cetera.
kasim:Within a PAX campaign.
kasim:You can tell shopping by just doing the adding, uphold the
kasim:numbers in the listing group.
kasim:YouTube, you can go multiply the number of views in that campaign
kasim:multiplied by the average CPV search.
kasim:I have no idea.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Subtract everything else in the remaining a search and display . That's so funny.
kasim:John Rolo long time.
kasim:We'll see John, I have six smart shopping campaigns in the same products
kasim:in each one, one campaign per store.
kasim:I want to condense the six campaigns in one.
kasim:What's the best way to go about this all at once.
kasim:Wait, six smart shopping campaigns with the same products in each one.
kasim:One campaign per store.
kasim:So does that mean six stores purchase centers and six.
kasim:I'm confused to what the question here.
kasim:John, will you clarify what you mean in the subsequent chat
kasim:and we'll come back to you.
kasim:Are you talking six different URLs with six different merchant centers, all with
kasim:the same products that you can't do?
kasim:Because when you create a smart shopping campaign, you have
kasim:to select the merchant center.
kasim:I don't think Google.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:The feed six merchant centers.
kasim:Six different S that you cannot do that.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:You have to suck your feed.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:So you basically just have to kill five of them.
kasim:Pick one, pick your favorite,
kasim:or just launch six P Maxs.
kasim:Like he has six more jumping.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:But he wants to combine them.
kasim:I don't think he can.
kasim:You have to choose one merchant center.
kasim:Arms of Andy.
kasim:What is running remarketing?
kasim:Could you gimme some more info please?
kasim:About clothing brands being difficult to get off the ground with PAX clothing.
kasim:I finish at all.
kasim:You love clothing brands.
kasim:If you let me, I I'm gonna talk about Facebook.
kasim:So you will get shot by.
kasim:Cause if you get that up, like if you forbid word and
kasim:FAS no longer with us,
kasim:it's a little difficult.
kasim:Cause clothing is all about brand recognition because you
kasim:cannot say my cotton, my fabric is better than the other.
kasim:So you have to showcase your products.
kasim:That's why Facebook works sometimes better in clothing, Facebook.
kasim:That's why other networks.
kasim:Oh, right.
kasim:All right.
kasim:we can print off Facebook.
kasim:It's fine.
kasim:Mm-hmm
kasim:uh,
kasim:so you have to try YouTube and you have to Push those remarketing.
kasim:And by remarketing, we mean dynamic, remarketing, display ads
kasim:remarketing, YouTube ads, and RLS, a DSA, which Issa just to add on,
kasim:make sure you're on multichannels.
kasim:When you're doing clothing, be everywhere, Google, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok.
kasim:That's gonna help you guys more than anything else.
kasim:If you're all over the place proposition like Louis Viton
kasim:and Zara are not competitors.
kasim:So that's the example I'm going to give you.
kasim:You have to select one thing.
kasim:Are you quality?
kasim:Are you brand?
kasim:Should I buy you because you're cheap.
kasim:Should I buy you?
kasim:Cause you're gonna make me look like rich pick a unique selling
kasim:proposition and highlight that.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:And to the point that FA is making clothing is hard because it's like any
kasim:level of artistry is violently subject.
kasim:and what I've noticed, this is wildly anecdotal, but I'll just throw this
kasim:out there and you guys can bat it down.
kasim:If you disagree.
kasim:All the clothing brands that have been successful with us have been, what
kasim:I would characterize is very unique.
kasim:Anybody who comes in and I've got generic dresses, t-shirts jeans, whatever.
kasim:It's always like, ah, man, this is a shot in the dark, unless
kasim:they have an existing audience.
kasim:But if they're unique, I saw, and I won't say out loud who this is, but
kasim:y'all will probably know we had a dude come in with like the ugliest stuff
kasim:I've ever seen in my entire life dude.
kasim:It was, I was just like, there's no way it, it killed it, crushed it.
kasim:And it was because it was the most unique clothing.
kasim:It was easily identifiable.
kasim:If we're running remarketing, it's like, oh, there they are again.
kasim:So I think hyper unique, anything that has a level of subjectivity or artistry
kasim:to it, it has to be unique because you need to be able to connect that
kasim:selling proposition to a unique brand.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Clothing is a little difficult I think this is the most competitive environment.
kasim:Think about a shopping.
kasim:I think like if I say 80% of the stores inside of a shopping
kasim:mall is clothing brands, right?
kasim:Yep.
kasim:You have millions of options.
kasim:So, and you have some brands that are known, like you
kasim:are in the market for Zara.
kasim:Let's use Zara.
kasim:So your clothing, so your designs and pricing identical to Zara.
kasim:Why should I use you instead of Zara?
kasim:So you have to sell me that instead of your clothing.
kasim:Mm-hmm is it for teenagers?
kasim:Is it for rich people?
kasim:Is it for like mid-level people?
kasim:Is it for people like the Selma college students?
kasim:Is it for design?
kasim:Is it for the fabric?
kasim:Is it for the community?
kasim:Choose, choose one.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Choose your avatar.
kasim:Amanda.
kasim:Howton Freecom.
kasim:Can you have a product in too many asset groups?
kasim:For example, vans all in an asset group, plus vans, old school and another.
kasim:vans near me and another.
kasim:Thanks income.
kasim:Can you have products in too many asset groups?
kasim:Oh, overlap of products between asset groups is fine.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:That's not an issue.
kasim:And because the asset groups are delineated by audience, usually.
kasim:So as long as those products are applicable to the audience that
kasim:you're targeting inside of the asset group, then you're perfectly fine.
kasim:Mm-hmm arms and Andes.
kasim:What is the best way to increase LTV and PAX and out of Google ads?
kasim:Well, LTV isn't in PAX per se.
kasim:LTV is once somebody's bought, how do you get 'em to buy again?
kasim:Emails, retargeting.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:And this gets kind of soapboxy.
kasim:So I promise not to spend so much time here, but love on your customer.
kasim:I mean, I've, we've all had this experience.
kasim:I bought a pair of sunglasses off of Amazon and when I opened the box
kasim:sunglasses, there was this card that explained the story behind the.
kasim:And it was like really touching and then they gave me an opportunity to get a free
kasim:pair of sunglasses by sharing socially.
kasim:And then I did that and then like, like the engagement was , I don't
kasim:know, man, like I got a kick out of it.
kasim:I felt like I was dealing with real people and not just another Amazon vendor.
kasim:And now here I am telling other people about it.
kasim:You know what I mean?
kasim:So I think that, you know why I laugh, why I bet they got some copywriter
kasim:to write that story for them?
kasim:No.
kasim:Who cares?
kasim:I like it's better if it's, if it's real, if it's Integris, but
kasim:I think that building a brand is about building a relationship.
kasim:Go build a relationship with people.
kasim:Good breed.
kasim:Dave foal says I'm a genius.
kasim:He's been saying that.
kasim:He said that like 20 times already.
kasim:I just keep saying David Morgan, I believe in making too many separate PS
kasim:campaigns with a few asset groups in each.
kasim:Okay.
kasim:So each asset group should be completely new and audience signals are duplicate.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Unique asset groups, please.
kasim:yeah, what we're doing, just so David, we just built our SOP for PAX, which
kasim:we're actually gonna share publicly.
kasim:And what we did is we took every single product category
kasim:and every single audience.
kasim:And if you multiply those, that's how many asset groups you have.
kasim:So if you have five product categories and five audiences, you
kasim:now have 25 asset groups assuming have the budget to support all that.
kasim:David clear this up for me.
kasim:Are you gonna launch five of the same PAX campaigns, like build out one and then
kasim:launch five of, of the same ones and have five same campaigns running in parallel.
kasim:Keep the ones you like, turn off the ones you don't like.
kasim:That would be an interesting test.
kasim:Dave Foggo says I've heard you can call Google and add your negative keyword.
kasim:That is true.
kasim:Dave.
kasim:We've had that experience directly.
kasim:The question is, are we ever gonna get it ourselves?
kasim:They've got a good Google rep here.
kasim:They exist.
kasim:Have you been around for a while?
kasim:Dave?
kasim:Cuz they're from the old school.
kasim:They don't give those out anymore.
kasim:Mm-hmm here we go.
kasim:Steve Baula Balo.
kasim:I did my best.
kasim:When your PAX campaign is new first four to six weeks, is it still recommended
kasim:to not specify any Ts or any T CPA?
kasim:Yep.
kasim:Don't touch it.
kasim:That was touch it.
kasim:That was, that was easy.
kasim:Casey snow final PAX campaign with 22 different signals going
kasim:to landing page with no URL expansion hundred dollars a day.
kasim:First week, row, as on account is up.
kasim:I see two outta two.
kasim:Did you guys see one outta two?
kasim:This looks like a yeah.
kasim:Part first week, row as on account is up.
kasim:I mean, two PAX campaign are doing so hard.
kasim:Where's one outta one.
kasim:Turn on URL expansion.
kasim:You'll save yourself with a headache.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Our rule is always turn on URL expansion, unless you have a very specific reason
kasim:not to check the landing pages though.
kasim:Yeah, well it exclude crap landing pages too.
kasim:By crap.
kasim:We mean about us policy pages, shipping pages, stuff like that.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:I wanna fight everybody who, who cuts out the about USS page.
kasim:I still think that that's valuable some context.
kasim:Some, some, yeah.
kasim:Well, I'll give you an example.
kasim:Yellow leaf hammocks.
kasim:They've got a badass about us page.
kasim:That's I think that it is no, but I feel like people aren't gonna
kasim:go about us for yellow leaf ham.
kasim:They're gonna come to the website, searching for the brand term yellow
kasim:leaf hammock, and they go to then, then they'll go to the other space.
kasim:That's not that's unique account.
kasim:Like if I build it out in the first day, show the account
kasim:built to you, you will fire me.
kasim:Right.
kasim:That's a unique setup.
kasim:Like normally I would not suggest those things inside your home, but it works.
kasim:So it works.
kasim:That's why this is a source of science and there are no SOPs.
kasim:That's so funny, as I literally just said, we're giving out an SOP F is like,
kasim:well, we're about our SOPs to the point that FA just made is they're very broad.
kasim:It's an, if this, then that rules engine that doesn't tell you exactly
kasim:what to do once you've gotten there, it's kind of like, I mean,
kasim:there's three categories, basically.
kasim:It's subject to change and try at your own risk.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:And it'll probably also change.
kasim:Casey, I feel like we didn't answer your question.
kasim:So if you want to clarify, please do.
kasim:I'm sorry that we skipped over you.
kasim:How would you structure dynamic remarketing from Dennis Thomas?
kasim:This , this is something we're actually testing to see what works well.
kasim:I don't want to give an answer knowing that it doesn't work yet, but it's
kasim:something that we're testing the most effective way to word dynamic.
kasim:That's my answer.
kasim:All right.
kasim:But John has turned off dynamic remarketing on his accounts
kasim:because it isn't working for him.
kasim:I'm still testing stuff.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:He's the one that told us we had to run dynamic remarketing.
kasim:He changed his mind.
kasim:It's stop changing his mind.
kasim:I go and I shoot videos.
kasim:I need, I need this things to stay true because I'm gonna go recorder.
kasim:So what I said about dynamic with marketing now, listen,
kasim:max vans.
kasim:Hey guys, is there any situation where you want to run multiple
kasim:PAX, for example, very different margin levels between categories.
kasim:We don't like running multiple PAX.
kasim:Yeah, go ahead.
kasim:FA sorry.
kasim:My example, like I did this one time and the reason was there was a hero product.
kasim:It was not generating the goal.
kasim:The goal was three X.
kasim:That hero product was generating two X with the budget I'm giving and
kasim:it was exhausting all the budget.
kasim:So I had to.
kasim:Put it in a different PAX campaign to save the others and still advertise on it.
kasim:So sense on the cases.
kasim:Yeah, our SOP right now, max is all products in one PAX campaign.
kasim:And then FA I like the, the point that you made earlier, as well, as
kasim:far as the cross pollination of what they click on and what they buy, not
kasim:necessarily being the same thing.
kasim:And then we're not able to take advantage of that in do PAX.
kasim:We start with all products with one, and then it's just judgment.
kasim:Hey, arms of Andy says grati, SFA, and FA means Boston Spanish.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:It's F John Rolo, I guess I wanna see if there's any way to not lose
kasim:out on the leads from the five current smart shopping campaigns.
kasim:When I pause them, I may not be able to avoid that now.
kasim:I minute, it sounds like you're gonna have to pick one.
kasim:Yep.
kasim:Sorry.
kasim:Here's a better question from John Rolo though.
kasim:I've heard you guys discuss the concept of bottom up funnel before
kasim:when starting a new account with a performance max campaign and then
kasim:creating search campaigns around that.
kasim:Be a good example of that in action.
kasim:Yeah, I think that'd be effective creating bottom up funnel keywords in
kasim:a certain intent, and then KeyAx to it.
kasim:Something just occurred to me for John too smart.
kasim:Shopping is being phased out anyway.
kasim:So here's, what's gonna happen with your smart shopping accounts is Google's gonna
kasim:upgrade them into performance max account.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:And it's gonna burn through its prior list.
kasim:And so what I would do is don't touch a damn thing.
kasim:Let smart shopping get upgraded into performance.
kasim:Max it'll run its course, as soon as the performance dies and it will then kill it
kasim:and then Google consolidates it for you.
kasim:And then you get to choose the one that died the least, and then create a new
kasim:performance max campaign using everything that works in the smart shopping
kasim:campaign, poke holes, and that fell.
kasim:Yeah, no, I think that's a good idea.
kasim:Keep your smart shopping.
kasim:All six of them just upgrade 'em later.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:And y'all, that's a note for everybody.
kasim:Google's gonna upgrade smart shopping to performance max
kasim:between July and September.
kasim:I thought it was July one.
kasim:Y'all they're phasing it in.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:That, yeah.
kasim:I saw that when they phase in the upgrade don't make any of the changes that
kasim:they recommend making, because doing so is gonna reset it entirely and you're
kasim:gonna lose your legacy audience guys.
kasim:I'm actually kind of for the thought that if your smart shop, like at
kasim:this point, if your smart shopping is doing well and you wanna upgrade
kasim:to PAX, don't wait for Google to make you do it and then just upgrade it.
kasim:That's yeah, that's really well stick.
kasim:You'll avoid the learning curve of PAX.
kasim:I hope . I I think arms of Andy says our differentiation is sustainable
kasim:biodegradable clothing with no plastic, no polyesters, maybe Etsy
kasim:and Pinterest would be other good channels to run alongside PAX.
kasim:Yeah, that's my point.
kasim:That's why I say YouTube because you cannot sell sustainable and that bio.
kasim:Page clothing with search.
kasim:You, you're gonna have to put it in description, but
kasim:nobody reads descriptions.
kasim:You cannot show that in shopping.
kasim:So you have to showcase that on YouTube and hope people will remember you.
kasim:You will grab people's attention and people will search for your brand.
kasim:I'm gonna add on to that.
kasim:Make sure whatever you're sending from Etsy.
kasim:Pinterest is extremely good traffic because depending on the traffic you send
kasim:from other channels, it affects your PAX campaign and it affects it significantly.
kasim:If it's good traffic, your PAX will be amazing.
kasim:If it's bad traffic, a good PAX will die.
kasim:Jay smart remarketing showed zero conversions on $400 a day.
kasim:Spend then suddenly shows 16 conversions three days later after rechecking.
kasim:Any thoughts?
kasim:Convert to delayed execution?
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:So that's models, conversion guys.
kasim:If you're remarket, when you turn off remarketing, make
kasim:sure you check everything.
kasim:So we use north beam just like Casa said, and Google does an absolute shit job at
kasim:telling us whether that campaign had a part to play with the conversion or not.
kasim:And we have a campaign.
kasim:We have some very top of funnel, YouTube campaigns running that show
kasim:zero view through and zero convergence.
kasim:And we spent $600, but on NOP it shows $600 spent and almost
kasim:six grand generated in total.
kasim:So make sure I know you guys don't have access to all the tools, but go into
kasim:your Shopify, check your numbers, check.
kasim:How, what changed?
kasim:Do like a thorough investigation of everything that's happened since you
kasim:launched it before you decide to turn it off, it may not be reflecting it
kasim:in Google, but it may, but indirectly you might have increased your revenue.
kasim:Steve bale, you recommended running a remarketing campaign with
kasim:PAX when you're ready to scale.
kasim:Why not start remarketing plus PX from the very start?
kasim:I think that's what we're saying.
kasim:Steve is we want remarketing right outta the gate.
kasim:Yep.
kasim:Casey snow, two PMAX campaigns toward same products, all different audience
kasim:signals, but one goes to a specific landing page and offer with URL expansion
kasim:off the other has URL expansion.
kasim:How much will they compete
kasim:a lot?
kasim:I've actually run PAX campaign with the same products to at the same time.
kasim:It's weird because the keywords that they go for, they just
kasim:compete for the same stuff.
kasim:So they compete a lot with one like one week, one P mess
kasim:will be absolutely killing it.
kasim:And the other one dips the next week, the other one will be killing it.
kasim:And the other one dips, I haven't seen it work continuously well at
kasim:the same time for the same product.
kasim:The new one will start.
kasim:Good.
kasim:You're gonna get excited.
kasim:Yeah, you'll think that.
kasim:Okay.
kasim:I, I hit the jackpot.
kasim:Like this is amazing after two weeks.
kasim:Bam.
kasim:Both eyes.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Hey, I said Steve's name perfectly.
kasim:Look at that.
kasim:Dave says, I think the paid sub should get a free north beam account.
kasim:Dave.
kasim:I don't get a fricking free north beam account.
kasim:That would be nice though.
kasim:Real quick.
kasim:I wanna give a shout out to all of our new members, Cortland
kasim:Maxfield, Julian Hoffman, Benjamin Miller, IANA goin and Knox 1315.
kasim:Thank you for joining and being members of the solution, date channel.
kasim:We appreciate you.
kasim:We appreciate your money more.
kasim:John Rolo.
kasim:We appreciate you, but more.
kasim:Yeah, we like those $3.
kasim:I think it's $10 at the peak of it.
kasim:Would you guys say that Google under reports, conversions
kasim:generated from displaying YouTube campaigns when they aren't last
kasim:click dude, John, by like, yes.
kasim:I, I think Google drops 30 to 40% of its touches.
kasim:Mm-hmm yeah, a hundred percent.
kasim:I remember a couple of years ago, Google came out and said that
kasim:30% of all conversions were what they called assisted conversions,
kasim:which are basically conversions that could have been attributed to
kasim:Google, but they can't prove it.
kasim:And then what we're seeing inside of north beam is it's crazy.
kasim:And I'm not trying to push north beam too hard.
kasim:Cause I do think there are other attribution tools that can articulate
kasim:something close to the same level of truth, but without a reconciliation tool,
kasim:that's really capturing first party data.
kasim:And then reconciling that data against conversion.
kasim:You don't know what people started, where they started, what touched them
kasim:in the middle and where they ended and what other channels were involved.
kasim:Cause let's say you're selling clothing.
kasim:If you sell 10 items today, And you're running Google and Facebook, Google's
kasim:gonna say, oh, we sold eight of those.
kasim:Facebook's gonna say we sold eight of those.
kasim:So you're gonna have 16 items accounted for, but only 10 items sold.
kasim:And here's the crazy part is they're both right.
kasim:But you don't know who's right.
kasim:To what extent, I mean, Facebook's remarketing and Google's remarketing,
kasim:both played a role, but who gets more credit and that's why you go use an
kasim:attribution software and it's subjective.
kasim:You actually tell the attribution software where you want to give the
kasim:credit and to what degree and what percentage, and you're probably wrong.
kasim:So you want to test your assumptions like everything, but I think
kasim:attribution is really, the problem that needs to be solved and whoever
kasim:solves that, like that's a billion dollar business right there.
kasim:If Google solves that problem, it's gonna throw a bunch of
kasim:companies out of business.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:But they can't because Google's attribution is always gonna be Google
kasim:centric and specific they're they're too.
kasim:They're just gonna be, I don't wanna say too greedy.
kasim:They have, they have too much of their own data and not enough of other people's.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Makes sense.
kasim:Arms and Andes.
kasim:Thanks for the answer.
kasim:Could you please expand on sending traffic from Etsy and negatively
kasim:affecting your PAX campaign?
kasim:Your traffic is gonna affect it because you're still gonna
kasim:remarket to those customers.
kasim:So bad traffic is just gonna mean you're spending money on useless people.
kasim:Julian Hoffman.
kasim:Hey guys.
kasim:I started a PAX campaign a week ago with one asset group with
kasim:three different audience signals.
kasim:I spend 30 euros a day.
kasim:It performs well Roaz is five.
kasim:Can I spend more now or should I wait?
kasim:I, how he said it's set a five Roaz welded you're in for a surprise.
kasim:Cause there's about to be a dip.
kasim:no, don't increase it yet.
kasim:Wait 45 to 60 days and start increasing like 20, 15, 20% every two to three weeks.
kasim:And did you check the three themes?
kasim:Like it's five X with pure non brand?
kasim:John Rolo.
kasim:because we're running outta questions.
kasim:Could you explain the concept of Google maximizing the value of
kasim:the inventory to me like I'm five.
kasim:Yes.
kasim:Google's inventory is you.
kasim:So the search network is the easiest I think, to compartmentalize because every
kasim:time somebody searches think of that as inventory in the store for Google,
kasim:that's something that they get to sell.
kasim:And the thing about that inventory is it's fleeting.
kasim:Like when FA searches, Google can deliver ads, but they can only deliver ads that
kasim:are available accessible for that search.
kasim:In that moment, if the ads apply to that search in real time, that's
kasim:why Google's expanding the ads that they'll place against searches.
kasim:Google's display based inventory is the majority of their inventory to the tune
kasim:of like 90 to 95% up until performance max rolled out, Google didn't have a hyper
kasim:effective way to sell that inventory.
kasim:So there were people running display based campaigns, but
kasim:Google wasn't allowing for the targeting and segmentation
kasim:that the current allowing for.
kasim:And so what's really interesting is if I, and I've only ever lost money in the stock
kasim:market, but if I were one of those guys that tells people what to buy, and when
kasim:I'd tell you to go buy Google, because Google just found a way to maximize the
kasim:value of like 95% of their inventory.
kasim:The reason you always hear me bitching about Google, wanting to maximize
kasim:the value of its inventory with us is if you think Casa FA and Osama all
kasim:have Google ads, agencies competing, Google ads, agencies, let's say,
kasim:and we're all running Google ads.
kasim:What would ultimately happen in a meritocratic environment is one of
kasim:us would get 80% of the customers.
kasim:And the other two would share the remaining 20% of the
kasim:customers and probably burn off.
kasim:Well, that's not good for Google because it loses advertisers.
kasim:It wants to be able to stack advertisers over time.
kasim:What Google wants is to take its inventory, split it amongst us, based
kasim:off of what we're willing to pay, which is based off of what we make,
kasim:which is why Google wants to see.
kasim:The value of a conversion.
kasim:And if they split their inventory between us, not in a meritocratic
kasim:way, but in a egalitarian way?
kasim:They're actually gonna be able to get us to spend more money for that inventory.
kasim:It's the reason everybody thinks Google's an auction.
kasim:It's no longer an auction because they have these priced fixed minimums based
kasim:off of what you're willing to pay.
kasim:it's quite literally the most efficient form of price fixing in the market period.
kasim:It's everything that everybody would speak out against.
kasim:If you talked about what happens when somebody has an absolute, complete,
kasim:and total monopoly, Google can see everybody who's willing to spend in
kasim:the market, what it is that they're willing to spend, how much they make and
kasim:how much available inventory there is.
kasim:So instead of putting the market in a position where the cream is gonna rise
kasim:to the top, and you have the standard pero distribution, which happens in every
kasim:organic market, Google is algorithmically segmenting the inventory, two advertisers.
kasim:In a way that maximizes the value of their inventory.
kasim:I realize that I didn't explain that.
kasim:Like you were five, I'm sorry, but that was the best I could do.
kasim:I'd love to know.
kasim:Would you all add anything to that?
kasim:Nope.
kasim:Yeah, you definitely didn't explain it.
kasim:Like he's five, the version you use that's the best I could do.
kasim:FA Dave Fogel says that if Google drops its touches, that means it
kasim:doesn't report all conversions or just not how many touches it.
kasim:How many places it touches before the conversion.
kasim:Dave, to me, that means that Google doesn't know everything that happens
kasim:between the, the first click and the last click mm-hmm . And it'll drop last click.
kasim:And you can see that if you overlook at conversions inside of analytics,
kasim:especially in the not provided provisions,
kasim:arms and Andes, Amazon is also expanding on verifying sustainable
kasim:brands, which mediums in your experience work best with PAX.
kasim:We're currently looking at Pinterest, Etsy, Amazon, and eBay.
kasim:We answered this kind of, I mean, you're gonna have to test
kasim:somebody doesn't look right.
kasim:Answer.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:It's also depending on your brand too.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Dennis Thomas, some of my Shopify stores have an extreme gap between track
kasim:conversions and actual conversions, Google shopping, only traffic source.
kasim:How do I know if the tracking is accurate?
kasim:Dennis, go get an at a third party tracking tool.
kasim:I like north beam.
kasim:I own 1% of north beam.
kasim:So I am partial.
kasim:And he said, there's an extreme gap.
kasim:Go look at convergence.
kasim:My conversion time.
kasim:Oh, there you go.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Dave says, we've got three minutes.
kasim:If you tell it where to give you the attribution and you're probably wrong.
kasim:Why use it?
kasim:Because being a little wrong or even medium wrong is way better
kasim:than being all the way wrong.
kasim:and so at least you'd have something.
kasim:Steve, is it possible to have too many asset groups per campaign?
kasim:I currently have 96 asset groups based on 12.
kasim:What are you spending Steve?
kasim:And the answer to that is you can never have too many asset groups
kasim:saw Osama had 156 asset groups.
kasim:he was forced to create two PAX.
kasim:I was gonna say, cuz it's limited to a hundred per right?
kasim:Yes.
kasim:Let to create two.
kasim:Oh Hey, somebody gave us 10 bucks.
kasim:Nice to snip.
kasim:Thank you.
kasim:Any suggestions on what to do?
kasim:E-commerce PAX campaign is father's day buyers decrease.
kasim:Will it automatically scale down, spend due to low Roaz I'm using RO targets.
kasim:Yeah, it should correct itself soon.
kasim:What about seasonality adjustments?
kasim:Do you guys use that at all?
kasim:I just said pay max to its.
kasim:It get depths for a bit and then it figures it out.
kasim:Okay.
kasim:Steve, you spending enough at a hundred dollars a day?
kasim:Like let Google do his own thing.
kasim:Okay.
kasim:Just try to guide the AI.
kasim:Okay.
kasim:Do not try to go do this.
kasim:Don't do that.
kasim:Don't try to game the system.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:I think we answered Steve's question already.
kasim:Yeah.
kasim:Steve Osama says you're not spend enough.
kasim:You gotta go spend more money.
kasim:Max Vander gave arms and bandies a really good tip by the way.
kasim:All right.
kasim:Very last question.
kasim:Jay did the URL targeting options, people who visited URL URLs, like including
kasim:URLs that have GA on them, wondering how Google knows someone visited a page.
kasim:That's our assumption.
kasim:Google hasn't told us, but if Google analytics is installed, my
kasim:assumption is Google is cataloging.
kasim:Every single thing that every human has ever done on that
kasim:page ever for their entire life.
kasim:Mm-hmm by the way.
kasim:We are having a hard time explaining this to the clients.
kasim:It's people who are similar to go, like you're not exactly
kasim:targeting those people, right?
kasim:So you have a competitor, you put that custom URL in targeting.
kasim:You're not targeting people who visit that the page, right.
kasim:You're targeting people who are likely with that's.
kasim:It's more likely to collect audiences for that.
kasim:Why it's not exact, it's a polite suggestion.
kasim:One of the things we did is we targeted specific URL URLs,
kasim:but we didn't use the URL URLs.
kasim:Like we used the custom audiences and then we targeted specific login URLs.
kasim:We did this for sharp spring users and it was nuts how well it worked.
kasim:The CEO of sharp spring reached out to the CEO of high level.
kasim:Cause we were doing it as go high level affiliates.
kasim:And he sent him like a WTF email.
kasim:He was like, dude, what are you doing?
kasim:Like we were going straight at him.
kasim:We're the fourth highest ranked high level affiliate.
kasim:And , that was , the largest acquisition strategy we ran was just going
kasim:after sharp spring users, based off of who's going to that login page.
kasim:We did it.
kasim:We're a minute over.
kasim:Y'all appreciate everybody as always.
kasim:Thanks for showing up FA Osama.
kasim:Thanks for filling in for John.
kasim:Appreciate you guys subscribe to our YouTube channel and we'll see you next.
