Alright, hereâs the deal: if youâre still clinging to those dusty PPC hacks from 2018âcranking up the bids and just praying Googleâs AI gets it rightâyouâre kinda living in the past, my friend. 2025 is all about actually thinking like a person who buys stuff online, not just a spreadsheet jockey. Letâs get this out of the wayâyeah, automation and AI are everywhere now, but that doesnât mean you can hand over the keys and crash on the couch.
Performance Max? Awesome tool... unless you feed it garbage. What you put in is what you get out (so clichĂ©, but seriously, itâs true). When I started loading up killer creativesâstuff that actually makes people feel somethingâinstead of, I dunno, boring product shots or keyword soup, my results took off. Gotta give the robot something juicy to chew on, you know? Segmentation is, like, my secret sauce. It blows my mind some people still run these one-size-fits-all campaigns. Wake up!
Nobody wants to see your hard-sell offer if this is literally their first time hearing about you. I break it up: cold folks get some TikTok-style UGC, warm leads see a bit more of my brand vibe, and hot prospects get the real FOMO stuffâtimers, testimonials, sneaky little discounts. Not saying Iâm a genius, but when I started doing that? My ROAS jumped by 40%. Thatâs not pocket change. Cookies are on their deathbed. Pour one out. But you know whatâs left? First-party dataâreal connections with your actual customers. Sync those email lists, run special promos for your VIPs or folks who ghosted their cart. Itâs basically old-school direct mail, but with the freaky power of Facebookâs algorithm and Googleâs data hoard. Oh, and if youâre still running desktop-only, static-image ads? Ugh. We live on our phones, and vertical video is king.
You will not believe how much difference two seconds of eye contact in your intro makes. People scroll past everythingâexcept a face looking straight at them. Really, the cheat code for 2025 is this: stop being a robot. Go for empathy, go for strategy, actually care about what people want. If you nail the psychology part, youâll crush everyone still stuck stuffing in keywords. Anyway, thatâs my rant. What are you seeing work lately? Got any weird wins or failures? Hit me with âemâI love a good PPC war story.
