Is Google keyword performance by hour of day no longer available don't see it in the UI segment or reports sections #ppcchat?

@mikeryanretail Temu also has the weirdest/most random ads I've seen in a while.

Temu knocked over SHEIN and Amazon to become the top shopping app in the US. They spent billions on advertising to do so – and now they're advertising in Europe, too. Will this hurt your Google Ads campaigns? (1/n) #ppcchat

@beyondthepaid @PPCGreg Lol this is wild! #ppcchat

@PPCGreg Here we go... the end is near... #ppcchat

Broad Match keywords - campaign setting "Enabling this setting will convert all existing phrase and exact match keywords into broad match and ensure all keywords added also use broad match." support.google.com/google-ads/ans… #PPCChat

So Tuesday really is the new Monday huh, Google. #ppcchat

@NeptuneMoon How much time ya got? #ppcchat

What's on your mind this week in PPC? #PPCChat

@N8Louis Interesting. Would target position just be top or absolute top? #ppcchat

Search Campaign - Target Positing, Target outranking share, and Commission? #PPCCHAT

Why use broad match in Google to find new keywords/negatives when you can just use phrase or exact in Microsoft where literally everything is considered a close variant? #ppcchat

My attitude to AI is the same as Waldie's. Years ago he said: "Where's the button you press for the idea?"

@BorisBeceric They’re really pulling out all the stops to boost those accidental ad clicks.

Not sure if I missed it, but since when did the PMax Gmail placement start to look like this? #PPCChat P.S. HelloFresh has been HAMMERING me for days 😂

@NeptuneMoon A5: Start looking at external or tangential factors. #ppcchat

Q5: If you can’t find anything specific that explains the performance weakening, what do you do? #PPCChat

@NeptuneMoon A3: First things first - has tracking fallen off? #ppcchat

Q3: When you find performance struggling, what are the first things you check? Does it vary by platform? #PPCChat

@PPCKirk So the opposite of Harbor Freight’s strategy?

We have a client whose email strategy is to never email their list unless they have a rare sale, so when they do email customers they get a *huge* wave of rev. I kinda wonder if more brands should adopt this strategy (I'm no email marketer, so it's an actual open pondering). 🤔

@larsmaat @AndrewLolk @adwexp End of an era with HeroConf gone.

@AndrewLolk I used to say HeroConf but they have pulled the plug recently. Now at SMX in München and really enjoying. The events at Brighton are always fun. And offcourse @adwexp in Bologna!

What are the best more advanced PPC/ecommerce conferences in Europe and the US? I have SMX Advanced and Friends of Search on the list. Any others? We are looking for 1-2 new conferences to send our people to :) #ppcchat

@JohnHornSG Chatted with Google support this morning and their recommendation is to wait 48 hours. Fun times! #ppcchat

#ppcchat Google is incorrectly disapproving hundreds of ads for "malicious software". We first identified the issue about 2 hours ago. Google support confirmed that it is a known issue affecting many advertisers.

@AnthonyHigman Close variants matching for law firms has gotten out of hand recently! #ppcchat

Me looking for a specific law firm brand by name in 2023. Google: Did you also want to see every other brand that is in any possible way related to this specific brand because we are running Local Services Ads now? #ppcchat

Smart bidding, AAR, ChatGPT, Bard, and more automation. Hopefully we can still have fun and it doesn't turn all advertising into something that resembles recent restaurant design trends: vox.com/22736636/mcdon… #ppcchat

@runnerkik @PPCKirk Law firm client sent this over yesterday. They've been wanting this to happen for years!

@PPCKirk Just saw this and came to twitter #ppcchat

📰 Woh, the US DOJ (Department of Justice) just filed suit against Google for monopolistic behavior in ads. 😳 justice.gov/opa/pr/justice… #ppcchat

Wonder if advertisers will be able to contest any media spend while @GoogleAds is down...#ppcchat

@PPCKirk @TheMarketingAnu @MarinSoftware Good luck figuring out which email address has both GSC ownership AND Google Ads access to relink the two!

@TheMarketingAnu @MarinSoftware it's still there: #ppcchat

hey #ppcchat have we lost the Paid & Organic search reports in Google ads? As I've been with @MarinSoftware for a year now -I am hardly in GoogleAds anymore. thank you!

@BorisBeceric Haha yeah, that's more likely the case unfortunately.

@davisbaker 🤢 But odds are, they're just making things up.

Meanwhile I've seen multiple posts of people claiming they have "audited 100s of ad accounts in 2022" and I'm like..."But did you really?!" #PPCChat
