Google Remarketing Shenanigans
You only want to show your remarketing ads to people that have been on your website. But, did you know Google will show your remarketing ads to people that have never been on your site and those that have no idea who you are!
Well, it could be the reason why your remarketing ad campaigns get loads of impressions but few conversions.
In this episode, Rob and Jonathan talk about why, when you’re starting to run remarketing ads you should never have this setting active. They’ll show you how to turn this default feature off.
And, the right time to turn it back on.
NB: Rob mentions ‘conservative optimisation’. Google is in the process of renaming this ‘targeting expansion’.
Select ‘No automated targeting’
‘Targeting expansion’ replaces ‘Conservative optimisation’.

How to Hire a Google Ads Agency Without Losing Your Shirt
We all need help with Google Ads from time to time. It’s a big system, and nobody can specialise in all of it.
The problem is, getting help from a consultant or agency is fraught with risk. It’s a Wild West industry, that seems to be getting more wild as time passes.
So the question is: how should you protect yourself as a business owner? What do you need to know before hiring help?
This conversation provides an insight into how an agency really works, and how to approach one in a way that negates your risk.
