Automation layering is driving PPC so get onboard in 2020 –

Contributor and SMX speaker, Frederick Vallaeys, wants PPC practitioners in the pilot’s seat in 2020 and knows automation layering is the tool that will help drive better results.

Below is the video transcript:

Hey, I’m Fred Vallaeys, I’m the CEO and cofounder at Optmyzr.

So what’s going to happen in 2020? Well, I think we’re going to continue to see a lot of the automation taking over some of the things humans have been doing in PPC.

But I’ve been thinking about this a lot, and I think the way we as PPC practitioners can really earn our keep is to start with automation layering.

So let Google, let Microsoft figure out all the complicated, advanced artificial intelligence, machine learning and how to show our ads to a better audience and how to set the right bids. But we have to control it. We have to monitor it, right?

If you think of yourself as the PPC pilot, the one who’s in charge of that plane and steering it and making sure the right date is going in, the right decisions are being made. It’s fundamentally a question of automation layering.

So how do you build a little script? A little automation that keeps track of what Google is doing. And if it sees that it’s kind of going far afield and maybe there’s a close variant match that you don’t think it’s a great one. How do you bring that back in? Right.

You can write a simple automation that alerts you to this so that it can go make a manual change. Where you could do something more sophisticated, right? A Google Ads script that automatically figures out when this is happening and then puts in negative keywords.

So this whole concept of automation layering and basically saying like, listen, how do we want to control in a world of more automated PPC? And how do we want to control these accounts and what automation can be put in place even if they’re not super sophisticated to just put us back in charge of PPC and drive even better results. So that’s what I think about 2020.

It’s so rare in these times to find one man with so much wow factor and more rare to find men with similar interest and passion in their life journey as myself . Dan Elliott has been introduced to many in what is now considered as the Terror Dome , a place where many dreams are not deferred they are detoured to routes that lead to dead ends , he comes in full of optimism so infectious that he, maybe with out knowing is energizing those who have ventured where others would fear going with just the right jolt to forge on in the way of helping fallen humanity … His various fields of expertise has helped many in my region and I can only imagine the number he has effected beyond those I know … from day one I knew “ this was a man of kindred spirit “ Dan Elliott is a Gem and adds glimmer to things he touches … I’m a Witness ….and eternally grateful….L.Rashaan RichMay 21, 2022

We'd used some other agencies before, but man, they simply knocked us all over. After being in business for 30 years, I wonder how much more business we'd be doing if we'd hired them earlier.Rebecca HoneaMay 17, 2019
