This is episode #56 and we’re introducing a new format for the podcast. We’re calling it the Superpower Spotlight, and on these episodes we’ll be interviewing paid search marketers who have deep experience in a particular topic, niche, or industry.

This is episode #55 and today we’re switching gears a bit to talk about the source of a lot of anxiety and confusion for paid search managers: taking over an existing paid search account. The takeover process can be intimidating, you’re usually starting a new relationship with the client, looking at brand new account that probably wasn’t set up well, and you’re expected to hit the ground running. But don’t stress, because we’re going to walk you through how to take over a Google Ads account - like a pro.
