Your own campaigns are bidding against each other. Same search, three campaigns, Google charges you for all of them. Check search-term overlap, set clean negative boundaries, pause the loser. Dealers: I'll record a free Loom audit of your ad account. Message me.
New article: The First 30 Days Inside a New Google Ads Account.
When I take over an account, I don't touch the budget on day one. I verify the tracking, read the search terms by cost, and fix the landing pages first.
Here's the full playbook

Same keyword cost $4.80 in one ad group, $2.10 in another. Difference: Quality Score. Match the ad to the search, land clicks on the exact page, and stop paying Google's relevance tax. Want a free recorded Loom audit of your account? DM me.
Your Meta Ads are optimizing on half your leads. Pixel alone misses form fills + calls. Fix: CAPI server-side, hashed email/phone matching, dedupe event IDs. Dealers/local biz: I will record a Loom audit of your ad account, free. Message me.
One Performance Max campaign is not a strategy. Split it by intent: separate asset groups for new, used, and service — clean audience signals, and check weekly where the spend actually goes. PMax hides waste behind averages. How many asset groups does yours have?
Google Ads says 40 conversions. GA4 says 22. Check: 1) same action counted twice, 2) duplicate tags firing, 3) soft clicks counted as leads. Fix what you measure before you scale spend. Dealers/local biz: I'll record a Loom audit of your ad account.
Your search terms report is the receipt for every ad dollar.
"Free," "jobs," "DIY" clicks eat ~20% of local budgets. Pull 90 days, sort by cost, block junk at the account level.
Fix the leak before you raise the budget.
@Tesla Do you think this spending pays off? Operating margin was 2.6% against 5.8% a year ago, and Optimus and Cybercab are still ramping. What would you need to see to call it a success?
@elonmusk Strong software and robotics momentum, weaker core profits. R&D up 69% explains most of the gap. The market will care about when robotaxi revenue shows up, which Tesla itself puts around 2027.
@washingtonpost Early days. Quest says the full scope is still being investigated and that operations continue through other methods. The next filings and patient notices will show how serious this is.
@AndrewCurran_ What stands out is that the access was through a platform clients use to order tests and view records, which puts it in the same category as other third-party and portal risks in healthcare. Patients should watch for notices from their provider or Quest.
@WatcherGuru Do you think the appeal will cut the penalty significantly? The judge’s own math produced $219B and then landed on $25B with no explanation, which seems like an obvious target. What’s your read?
@nytimes For advertisers, the question is less about the $25B and more about what it signals: courts are willing to penalize misleading statements about data handling at this scale. That makes accurate, specific privacy claims in ad copy and landing pages more important, not less.
@espn Is this a sign of the team’s resilience or a warning about slow starts? Down 17 after one quarter is not sustainable over 82 games. What fixed it in the second half?
@priteshpatel9@adsliaison Fair question learning periods tune the algorithm, they do not set budget guardrails. Algo optimizes within whatever channel it is allowed to spend in. The cap answers a different question: how much you are willing to pay to find out whether that channel works. Two different jobs
@gregfinn This is the most relatable Google Ads video. The tier is a nudge, the cap is the real control — on tCPA/tROAS campaigns not limited by budget, priority alone will not move spend. Only the allocation does. Check your current partner/Display share first, then set Low tier + cap.
200 Google Ads leads. 3 showroom visits.
Most dealers optimize for volume. The smart ones optimize for buyers.
3 checks: segment leads by keyword, match CRM shows to spend, cut junk sources.
