Is Google Really Looking Out For You?

•

Resource Links:

Google makes its money from online advertisers. So it’s safe to assume the changes they make will benefit advertisers. Right?

It turns out that isn’t always the case. While the big platforms do need to maintain a good advertiser experience overall, occasionally decisions are made where individual advertisers are thrown under the bus in changes that are likely to move the stock price up.

You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette, so to speak. But with the right knowledge you can make sure your shell stays intact!

Is Google really looking out for the little guy? Join me in today’s podcast as we dive into the dark side of Google AdWords.

We’ll be talking about:

  1. Revisiting “Legal Marketing Fastlane” [00:30]
  2. Google AdWords and its search traffic changes: It’s just business [00:58]
  3. Facebook and its acquisitions as a platform for selling impressions [04:16]
  4. Notes on working with Google from the Legal Marketing Fastlane [07:07]
  5. Why Google is not looking out for the little guy [07:55]
  6. The issues with Google’s Search Network and landing pages [08:35]
  7. Why the “Search Network with Display Select” setting is not the best campaign setting there is [10:26]

Colleen and her team built LGS around a simple principle: nobody sells from the stage. After learning the hard way with post-COVID boot camps (and 100% churn), they rebuilt the event around peer learning, tangible action items, and the kind of "tell me how you actually did that" conversations that happen in the hallway and at the bar.We get into:Why brand is now the top of the marketing funnel — and how the biggest-name firms are growing social followings into six figures and pulling referrals from social aloneThe new world of AI SEO, featuring Justia CEO Tim Stanley sharing directory and search expertiseHow LGS is built for any growth-minded firm (with a heavy personal injury crowd), not just one practice areaThe experience side: a vendor lounge with no hard sells, high-end food and bev, and fun evening events (including a luxury retail store buyout with champagne and prizes)Bonus for staying through Friday the 17th: the Backstreet Boys at The SphereTickets, agenda, and speakers are all at lawyergrowthsummit.com.
