There are so many things I could cover here, so I’m going to focus on some of the really cool bidding options that Google has built out over the last year or two – and that’s AdWords’ Flexible Bidding Strategies.
These are automated, algorithmic bidding settings found in the Shared Library – and you should be testing them. There’s some things you can’t do – like the splits Beyonce is doing in HEELS HERE. But you CAN test these. Whether your goal is traffic volume, CPA, ROI, or just driving more conversions. There’s options for everyone! Kind of like how there’s at least one Beyonce song that everyone likes. Don’t even try to fight me on that, you KNOW it’s true.
