Best Google Ads Bidding Strategies?

Do you want to know which is the best bidding strategy for your service-based Google Ads campaign? In this video, I’ll describe how to use your advertising goals to choose your bid strategy.

If you are in the eCommerce business and you are selling products online then you need to go on the target ROAS bidding strategy. If you are generating leads for your business then you need to go on the target CPA bidding strategy. The reason why the target CPA bidding strategy does not work for eCommerce business.

Because let’s say you have got a product for $79. One person comes to your website, they buy goods worth $79. Another one will come in, he or she may buy $79 or $19 or $5 and you will get different products being purchased by different people and the cart value will be different.

So, you can’t have a target cost per acquisition because if you are targeting to acquire a customer for $50. And you are selling a $19 product. Then at the front end, you are making a loss. I’m not talking about the customer lifetime value but just at the front end. So that’s why you can’t do that. But if you are selling a product and you have got the target return on ad spend (tROAS) bidding applied that means Google is going to try and maximize your return on ad spend.

And it is usually calculated in percentage. So every $1 you spend you want $4 or $5 back or more depending on your profitability. So for an eCommerce business, you need to use a target ROAS bidding strategy.

Target CPA Bidding Strategy

For service-based or lead generation campaigns you need to use the target CPA bidding strategy because a lead is a lead. You know that you need to generate a lead for $10, $50, or $100.

Manual CPC Bidding Strategy

With regards to the manual CPC yes you can start with manual CPC get the data into the account so that the account knows and Google knows what you are looking for and then switch it over to your tROAS ads or tCPA campaigns. 

Google reps are going to tell you that you can start with tCPA or tROAS straight off the bat but in my experience and my humble opinion, the way I would do this is to set up your Google Ads campaigns start with manual CPC get the data in and when you’ve got 30 or 50 conversions depending on how much the data is in the last how much the budget is you are spending daily. You will then switch over to tROAS or tCPA. Ideally, you want to do at least 30 conversions in the last 30 days.

Your Customers Aren’t Cold: Your Message Is: The Art of Authentic Connection

Imagine pouring your heart into a sales pitch, crafting the perfect email, or spending hours on a marketing campaign, only to be met with silence. Does it feel like your potential customers are simply “cold” or uninterested? What if their indifference isn’t a reflection of their buying intent, but rather a symptom of miscommunication? What if the problem isn’t them, but the way you’re speaking to them? This isn’t about blaming your efforts, but empowering them with a new perspective on customer engagement and effective communication. Understanding the Myth of the ‘Cold’ Customer The term “cold customer” is often a misnomer, a convenient label for when outreach isn’t yielding results. It implies a lack of interest, but often, this perceived coldness isn’t deep-seated rejection; it’s a superficial reaction to messaging that doesn’t resonate. For small business owners and non-technical readers, understanding this distinction transforms their entire approach to sales and marketing communic...
