Another account generating 46% of its call volume from Google Ads.

Higher average duration than organic calls

Bullish on PPC.

@briandecoded What kind of rookie only takes the $100 plan?

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

Sometimes all it takes is a person to hear that you believe in them.

Share that with someone this week and watch their eyes light up.

@FreightBrkrGuy Not sure how I landed here but I want to see the followup.

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

@theseoguy_ Sounds like an obvious answer but needs to be said. Goes for paid ads too.

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

@emmaeni__ Hell yeah. Going to add that to my next VSL title.

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

If I get sales for my clients using paid ads. Can I count them as my own sales?

Asking for a friend.

"Why do you work so much?"

Because its not work to me. My video game is watching your conversion rates increase.

Why do you watch so much TV?

Love dealing with LSA customer support. When onboarding.

Setting up a new account:
"The CID is not valid please try again" - hangs up.

I'll call back give another working LSA account. When the rep answers give them the new account number and everything magically works.

@Camp4 Best thing I've done is pay myself first (automatic investments) before anything else + living well below my means.

Lifestyle creep doesn't bother me anymore. Any additional income gets split up appropriately so I'm never in this type of situation.

My goal isn't to get you the cheapest leads possible.

Its to get you the most qualified and profitable leads as possible.

Same same but different.

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

@CardTossChamp @TheDrugMoney 100% agree. It's also the most expensive place I've ate on average. But the price matches the quality.

My pockets felt empty and my tastebuds felt spoiled. 10/10 would do it again.

Park Circle was a good middle ground here.

Thank God my paycheck relies on my Google Ads skills and not my grammar.😅

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

Sometimes the hardest things to do with paid ads is sit on your hands and wait.

Client reached out due to slow sales. Instant reply btw

Few hours later we print 3 sales for 11x ROAS on the day.

Back to normal KPI pacing.

Sometimes you have to zoom out and trust the process.

@irentdumpsters Does the BBB even matter anymore?

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

@zeeshangooglead Then she wasn't good enough!

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

How long are you waiting for a potential hire to show up before disqualifying them?

2nd round interview, didn't show within 5 minutes, left room and instant disqualification.

Sucks because this one was a good candidate.

@marcusmclayton Running for automotive in Texas. Spends $30 a month if that right now.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out once they give us more control.

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

@WritesToProfit Must've not been a good fit.

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

@BarbellFi Ngl. There's a value of just paying rent and knowing you never have to fix anything yourself.

[Rick - Google Ads Specialist @PPCExpertRick]

@MurrayHillGuy1 He made it. Imagine living under your means while making 7 figs a year.

Hopefully he built up his investment portfolio and can cruise if he wants to.

Now he just needs to learn how to be present and optimize his personal life.
