Summary

It’s human nature to freak out every time another change happens in the internet advertising world, but this time you really don’t need to. Trust us. 

 

In today’s episode, host Kasim Aslam sits down with John Moran, Chief Strategist at Solutions 8 and “smartest Google Ads guy in the whole wide world.” John is actually excited about this new Google change which means everything is going to be okay. FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts) was Google’s web tracking answer to the iOS privacy updates, but now they’ve killed FLoC and introduced Topics. Why? How? What’s the difference? What does this mean for advertisers? And when are things going to stop changing for a hot second?

 

Listen in as Kasim and John answer all the questions you have, and a few you never even thought to ask. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

  • The key differences between FLoC and Topics (and why you need to know)
  • What this change means for companies with long sales cycles
  • Why 3 topics and why 3 weeks?
  • How to start experimenting in the Topics section of Google ads

Hey folks, Ralph here with something that could seriously upgrade your top of funnel ad game.

0:06.8

If you've been a PT listener for any period of time, you know that we talk about top of funnel

0:10.5

all the time and how challenging it is for you to get quality top of funnel clients or leads

0:17.9

or customers and then convert them typically at bottom of funnel.

0:22.9

Well, TV advertising is one of those areas that we haven't discussed here on PT all that much.

0:29.4

But our friends over at AdCritter have figured this stuff out.

0:33.2

They do connect to TV ads so you can be everywhere without spending millions on Super Bowl ads,

0:39.9

but they pair it with display retargeting. So you're hitting the audiences with a complete approach.

0:46.4

You reach them, then you remind them, and then you collect the revenue. It's a strategy

0:52.1

designed to deliver, and let me tell you, it really

with AdCritter, creating custom audiences are so easy. You don't need to reformat files. You don't

And the match rate is awesome.

1:15.1

They make it easy to connect with the right people,

1:17.4

the actual people that have interacted with your ads in the past,

1:20.7

and then allow them to naturally flow through your funnel

1:23.7

so you can convert them at bottom of funnel.

1:26.9

Now, the folks at AdCriter, we twisted

1:28.8

their arm to get us a great deal for you, the PT listener. They are offering a special deal for y'all,

1:35.1

and that is you can get a $500 campaign credit, meaning $500 in free money to test out the platform
