@KanishDigital Yeah like Headline, Sitelinks, Images, etc. Lot of clickable objects

@PPCGreg Should both parts be actually clickable in the ad?

came across this earlier which I don't think I've seen before. I think what it's saying is Google may charge you twice for the same user, clicking on different parts of your ad (presumably to open in a new tab) on 1 impression.

@BorisBeceric yeah I guess if you haven't linked all the accounts, this would be a way to do it. *or you're using some analytic tool that doesn't integrate well with Ads

@PPCGreg They only have one GA4 and cuse cid to report by client?

why would an agency pass their client's customer id through with UTMs? Is there something you could do with that?

@JemBourouhDE lol no I blurred the last digit out... so unless you requested all 10 possible variations. .. but let me know if you get access. Feel like someone spinning up a DefinitelyGoogleSupport@gmail.com email and sending access might actually be granted it.

just requested access from my mcc

@beyondthepaid @semexpertnav I think that's referencing a different thing admanager.google.com/home/ however I'm tinfoil hatting that they're slowing everything down

@semexpertnav Ah

Wow is Google Ads Editor ever SLOW this morning. It's been downloading recent changes for the last 15 minutes. It's a big account but usually only takes 3-4 minutes to download

hat tip to Nils Rooijmans (subscribe to his newsletter here nilsrooijmans.com/newsletter/) for sharing Holger Schulz's Usability Booster for Google Ads chrome extension !Can auto dismiss recommendations! usability-booster.com/?__s=apujwcocy…

@Dcdigitalpro @adsliaison Curious about this also - or is this showing there wasn't any invalid activity from January?

@adsliaison did they remove adjustments for over delivery from the billing activity and invoice section in the ads portal? Can’t find the $5,000+ of adjustments made in Nov2025… Yet it’s in the app billing… #ppcchat -> something doesn’t seem right…

I have a HUGE opp for someone that's a director of growth. Pays insanely well. Automotive vertical. You need to know Meta ads like the back of your hand. Totally remote in the USA. Andrew dot foxwell at gmail HIT ME UP with your resume!

Tweeting this so that I can reference it in 5 years when the discovery in a class action lawsuit shows their engineers were intentionally slowing down the platform as a way to deter advertisers from making optimizations. 📆 Call it Project SearchSuppressionShare or DiversionRate

@GoogleAds has been unbearably slow for so long that I'm beginning to believe it's intentional.

Heads up if you use ad scheduling in Google Ads! A notice sent out to some advertisers last week announced changes to budget pacing for campaigns using ad scheduling - set to roll out gradually starting March 1. Here's what to expect: cypressnorth.com/paid-search-ma…

@AnthonyHigman "xwf.google" telling me something is mandatory. ...more like gtfo.google

YOOO WTF Is THIS!?!?!?!?!?! : "The platform is moving toward several mandatory shifts—specifically around AI Max transitions and new Data Manager API requirements—that will fundamentally change how automation functions across the network." A Google Rep Just Sent Us An Email (About An Account We Dont Manage, Of Course LOL) But The Email Is WILD!!!!! It Also Does Not Have The Diclaimer Message At The Bottom So Im Publicly Sharing It. Here Is What The Full Email Says: [2026 Platform Roadmap: Structural Shifts Affecting (business) Hi Team, I hope your week is off to a great start! My name is ---, and I am a part of Google Customer Solutions team. I’m reaching out to introduce myself and to ensure we’re prepared for several significant structural updates hitting the Google Ads platform this quarter. The platform is moving toward several mandatory shifts—specifically around AI Max transitions and new Data Manager API requirements—that will fundamentally change how automation functions across the network. I’d like to schedule a quick sync to walk you through this 2026 roadmap so your strategy remains ahead of the curve. While we're on the call, it would be a natural time to pull up your agency's portfolio to ensure these platform-wide changes are mapped correctly against your specific active setups. I know your schedule is likely busy as we kick off the new year, so please let me know which of the following works best for you: A: Let's connect. I'll: book a quick meeting here to discuss the 2026 platform roadmap and your account B: I'm tied up at the moment; please email over the platform update summary and initial notes for the portfolio. Looking forward to working with you] Does Anyone Know What This Means? Its From A wxf Rep, So Cant Be Like Real Real, Right?

@beyondthepaid @BorisBeceric enhanced cpc, broad match modified, expanded text ads.

@BorisBeceric lol how is this even possible?

I beat Google Ads final boss. AMA. #PPCChat

Has anyone tried "Have AI Get Prices?" - tried it this morning and was pretty surprised at how well/quick it worked.... // does anyone have clients that have experienced a call from it? support.google.com/websearch/answ…

pretty sure this is new: Google Ads Lead Form Assets now allow you to receive a notification via email every time you receive a lead

adsmanager.facebook.com/adsmanager/man… then toggle through all of your accounts in the top right. only have to do it one time and you're goodfor all current and future campaigns.

@NeptuneMoon these days I'm just hoping for literally anything more than a subject line and the account ID.

Oh how I wish Google would include the advertiser name along with Ads account ID in emails… Is that too much to ask? #PPCChat

I would put this among the top 5 most overburdening things Google has done to advertisers. Years of work to get our name (and intentionally confusingly similar variations) protected, gone.

When you set up PMAX and it doesn’t work.
