12/21/2023
Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/wD1J6A6Sctw When you think back on 2023 in PPC, how will you remember it? For me, this is the year we’ve seen incredible advancements in AI. While there is so much excitement in that field, there are also areas that didn’t look quite as good. Revenues are down for several agencies this year. CPCs are rising, and hence costs of advertising are high. And looking ahead, third-party cookies are going away next year which can leave out attribution to a guessing game. With a lot of uncertainty up in the air, how can you be better prepared?

Future-proof your brand: How to win at branded search through time & change | PPC Town Hall 84

12/13/2023
Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/bhPJbkUKEcY Paid search is a great weapon to grow your brand. But you can never overlook the power of branded search. Branded search refers to when users search for your brand name or related terms. These users are already familiar with your brand, potentially interested in your products or services, and actively seeking you out. This makes them valuable leads with a higher conversion potential compared to generic search terms. - So how can your brand crack the code of branded search? - How can you continue winning even when your brand messaging evolves with time? - And with search generative experience on Google, how can your brand continue to stay on top? In this episode, I spoke to Jason Barnard, a top name in the world of branded search to discuss all that. Even though this episode isn’t directly about paid search, it’s still important for any marketer trying to grow their business through search. I hope you enjoy this conversation :) Our speaker: - Jason Barnard, Kalicube Connect with Jason on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonmbarnard/ Visit Jason's website: https://jasonbarnard.com/ Visit Kalicube: https://kalicube.com/ Connect with Fred on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederickvallaeys ► Get emails about future Town Halls https://www.optmyzr.com/ppctownhall ► Explore Optmyzr and start a 14-day free trial https://www.optmyzr.com

How to Sell Your Agency: Everything That Happens Before, During, and After | PPC Town Hall 81

10/11/2023
Watch the video episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjfeRj7hzJQ Most agency founders are focused on growing their agency, not selling it. Then it happens. The founder starts to get calls from suitors. A large agency that lost a big client to the founder’s agency suddenly wants to know if they’d consider selling their business. The agency founder is completely unprepared for these discussions. Should they even consider selling? Should they hire an investment banker? How much should the sales price be? How do they compare different offers? Should they get buy-in from the team? Will clients be OK with a sale? Founders who navigate these concerns properly might hit the jackpot—life-changing money, happy clients, happy team members, and peace of mind. And those who don't may end up regretting passing on a sale as the biggest mistake of their lives. In this episode of PPC Town Hall, I spoke to David Rodnitzky, Founder of Agentic Shift.
