    Ecom Youtube Challenge - Building a channel with 120 videos in 120 days

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I know this thread is old, buy Sam's Key Commerce content on Youtube is GOLD. I went through a few videos of his + many others on YT, but couldn't find an answer regarding running multiple stores/brands on Shopify and promoting them via Google Ads. What's the correct way of doing? It seems...

    Let’s Chat Paid Ads

    MARKETING CHAT 
    From my experience, it also takes roughly 10 working days for a brand-new campaign to start receiving full impressions within your budget, so I wouldn't make any drastic changes after 24 hours of a new campaign running. Obviously depending on the volume you're getting, let it run for 1-2 weeks...

    Let’s Chat Paid Ads

    MARKETING CHAT 
    I haven't tried Maximise Clicks or Performance Max campaigns, as I don't really want to get as many clicks as possible... I remember running a short experiment with one of my campaigns where I decided to lower my Target ROAS from the usual 250% to around 150%, thinking that would allow me to...

    Let’s Chat Paid Ads

    MARKETING CHAT 
    I need to make a note and start watching this thread, as I'm currently running an e-commerce store and promoting it via Google Ads (Shopping Ads), so this is right up my street. As a lot of you might know, Google is planning to completely get rid off Enhanced CPC as a bidding option, and I...

    Managed VPS Hosting - Best Providers?

    WEB DESIGN 
    @rpeck90 , thanks for your help. In terms of server spec, what would you say would be sufficient enough for my requirements, i.e. WooCommerce store running Wordpress, roughly 200-300 visitors/day (hopefully more soon), about 150-200 transactions/month, and at the moment it's just 1...

    Surely, there are some Fastlaners here using VPS hosting? Would appreciate any input to point me in the right direction. Thank you

    Managed VPS Hosting - Best Providers?

    WEB DESIGN 
    Happy New Year 2024, everyone. I've been using Hostgator's shared hosting for the last 10 years and generally speaking, I haven't really had any issues with them, because reliability and speed wasn't too much of a concern for me... Now when I'm running an e-commerce website and spending money...

    Ecom Youtube Challenge - Building a channel with 120 videos in 120 days

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Hey @Phikey , I know it's a bit of a broad topic, but what's your choice/recommendation when it comes to web hosting for e-commerce sites? I've been on Hostgator's shared hosting plan for many years and never felt the need to upgrade, because I'm not getting much traffic (approx. 100...

    Ecom Youtube Challenge - Building a channel with 120 videos in 120 days

    GOLD! HOT! 
    @Phikey Glad to see you're doing well. I've watched tons of your Google Ads videos when I was setting up my e-commerce store and they're pure gold, as they're tailored specifically for e-commerce. I think I need to re-read this thread again and check out your channel, as I've probably missed...

    [NEED GOOGLE ANALYTICS 4?] GA4 + Google Ads, GTM, Conversion tracking help

    MARKETPLACE 
    Hi Senecal, do you know how to set up Universal Analytics or GA4 to see all the search queries triggered in Google Ads? As you probably know, the search terms report in Google Ads dashboard doesn't show all terms that resulted in clicks (only those with "significant volume"), so I've been...

    Lead Gen for Local Service Businesses

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Andy, I wish you were right, but nothing's changed since then - see screenshot below from the last 10 days of my shopping ads campaign. Out of 404 clicks only 189 search terms are actually displayed, so the remaining 215, which is more than half of the total is considered as insignificant due...

    Lead Gen for Local Service Businesses

    HOT! MARKETING 
    No, not using a Smart Campaign, just a regular campaign with full control. I'm running Shopping Ads and I can see the search terms that have triggered my ads, same as I would with a search campaign, but as you probably know, the displayed results are limited and only show search terms with...

    Lead Gen for Local Service Businesses

    HOT! MARKETING 
    @Andy Black Andy, I'm not sure if you use the "Search Queries" function for Google Ads in Google Analytics, but I recently noticed that I can no longer look up the terms that triggered my ads and resulted in a click. We know that Google has dramatically reduced the data that they display in...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    Going to have to bump this thread, but it's full of gold, so I'm sure no one will mind... I'm running an e-commerce store with about 15 products and promoting it via Google Shopping Ads. I'm slowly scaling to more and more products, but I've got a habit which I developed many years ago, and I'm...
