b'When it comes to digital marketing, one of the most important pieces of the puzzle revolves around paid advertisements and pay-per-click campaigns. Being able to use something as powerful as Google Ads to bring people to your website for success and an influx of clients is a resource that requires a lot of fine tuning and understanding, and understanding the way that paid search works is a necessity when it comes to success with landing pages, conversions, and traffic. But, if you\\u2019ve never dabbled in the world of Google Ads, it might be hard to start and sort through what\\u2019s necessary, and what\\u2019s filler.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

How Paid Search Magic can not only help their own clients but fellow marketers as well! Amy explains that, right now, they offer one on one coaching to help digital marketers build better offers, better management, and better client management in order to maximize the efficiency of their own process with clients!
Amy explains that there needs to be thought and strategy when it comes to putting out ads and that the act and story of people putting out one advertisement that built the success of their business is very few and far between. You need to know what you\\u2019re doing to see success! Additionally, Amy also explains the learning curve to Google Ads, saying that there\\u2019s a lot of nuances to understand and master when it comes to using it successfully.

There has to be a sense of truth about what\\u2019s happening in your account, and having a good understanding of where your opportunities are and what you might want to change can help your business in the long run.

You can try as many new strategies as you\\u2019d like, but if you\\u2019re missing huge factors of how your account is set up, you\\u2019re draining money in the end.
In what she calls \\u201cthe process of discovery\\u201d, Amy talks about how every situation for an audit is different. Some accounts have room for improvement and they\\u2019re doing well, while others have a labeling problem, which can lead them to a bad business place. The process of auditing is being able to shine a light on these issues is good, especially since a lot of things that aren\\u2019t working are due to t...'
