Customer Reviews
Just Ok IMO
Granted I’ve been doing google ads for 10+ years. I’ve never been fond of Google reps and there recommendations. Only working for P&G did I actually get a taste of having my own Google team problem solving for me on the daily. Most reco broad match/pmax and the most budget possible.
This series although very small business based provides great answers for beginners and people getting started which was quite enjoyable to test my knowledge as she answered the questions.
I went into this series hoping to learn something. And came out of it only being reminded of all that Google has to offer and different ways I can solve my problems and track my conversions.
Def a good pick me up but not something I would listen to for cutting edge knowledge.
Keep evolving and I’ll keep listening.
