Common problems with Google Ads
Manual Bid & Budget Adjustments
Manually adjusting bids and budgets is inefficient and takes time away from strategic work. Marketers spend hours reviewing performance trends instead of optimizing campaigns. While rules and scripts can help, they still require constant monitoring and adjustments. Without automation, scaling and maintaining profitability becomes a never-ending task.
Product Feed Optimization for Google
Google Ads perform best when products are strategically categorized based on factors like performance, discounts, and seasonality. However, without custom labels, advertisers lack the ability to segment their campaigns effectively. This means they can’t prioritize high-margin or best-selling products, adjust bids for discounted items, or create targeted promotions. As a result ad budgets are often spent inefficiently, leading to missed opportunities for higher returns and better campaign performance.
Manual Reporting & Data Consolidation
Manually exporting data, analyzing trends, and creating reports is tedious and inefficient—especially when you can’t access all the relevant information in one place or gain the insights you need. Without automation businesses waste countless hours gathering insights instead of optimizing campaigns. Reporting becomes a time sink rather than a tool for growth. Automated dashboards streamline this process, providing real-time insights with minimal effort.
Identifying & Managing Poorly Performing Keywords
Manually reviewing search term reports and adding negative keywords is time-consuming and prone to delays. Without regular updates, wasted ad spend on irrelevant clicks can quickly spiral out of control. Automation ensures continuous optimization, preventing budget leaks and improving campaign efficiency.
