  • This is amazing. Right timing to refresh my skills in PPC. I was a pro at it back in 2009 then became a programmer. Now I built things and need to market it. Keep up the great content!!!
    I heard about it sushant gupta defsys blog.

    • Hi Alice,

      Thank you for taking the time to comment. I was a PPC expert back in the early days, too. It has changed a lot, mostly making it much more expensive and challenging to control costs.

      So I’m really looking forward to hearing Lior’s recommendations. Did you check out some of his other recent content on Google Ads? Another of his posts will go live here tomorrow.

  • I became an AdWords pro in 2006 in Australia. It was a great time to be active in the industry. We made a lot of money for our clients. Millions. And you could advertise and get to the top of the results by following the rules Google laid out. Cost per acquisition were reasonable and all parties benefited.

    Nowadays, I just don’t see the same ability to enter the local market, even at a hyper-local scale. You can set up your account perfectly and yet, a day or two after you start and get some great performance, the algorithm will start to price you out of the market.

    Costs per click to get on the page are $10 and above for most keywords. Soon, even a small company’s budget is AUD$5,000 per month – and that’s just table stakes, not high performance.

    I’d love to go back to the days of $1.50 and $2 clicks, but it’s not my experience in Australia any longer and my experience is pretty common amongst my peers.

    Thanks for the refresher and best of luck.

    • Hi Neil,

      Thank you for sharing your experience. I specialized in PPC in the days even earlier than you. Back then, I could get nickel clicks for most clients. Others were paying $1+ for real estate and I was getting clicks at a quarter.

      I had many successful clients whose budgets were only $100 a month. Even $500/mo was a small client. And I was also subcontracted one with a $50k/mo budget and took 2 clients to $1 Million+ a year in sales.

      But those were the golden days of PPC that are long gone. Search is still the best-converting, but maybe Facebook / Instagram / WhatsApp / Facebook Messenger ads are a better way to go today?

      I hope Lior comes and responds to your comment. I’ll ping him and let him know about it. He may not have experience in the Australian market which could differ. But he may have insights to share.

    • Hey Neil, yes… it used to be a bit simpler and cheaper back then 😐 !

      With time competition got fiercer as Google pushed to make it accessible for more businesses and more businesses began advertising online.

      At minimum, we need to approach Google Ads in a more sophisticated and careful way. There is usually a way to win online with Google Ads, if you have a viable business. It just requires a lot more expertise to see through all the fancy new features and stick to the fundamentals that work.

      The questions shifts to how to make more expensive clicks still convert to profitable customers.

      I appreciate your comment and feedback! Best, Lior
