I am really excited about this week’s episode. This is something I have been teasing about for a while and that is Google Ads. I am not a Google Ads Ninja which is why I am really excited to introduce you to Michael Alaniz. He knows everything there is to know about Google Ads. He has crushed it behind the scenes for local businesses, service providers, and course creators. If you can use Google to generate revenue, Michael knows how to do it. He shares many high-level strategies for utilizing Google Ads.
Michael Alaniz is the founder, CEO, and Marketing Director of Local Loop Marketing, a marketing firm that helps businesses and organizations connect with clients. Their systems focus on digital lead acquisition through pay-per-click platforms in Google, Facebook, Bing, and Yahoo. Through Local Loop Marketing, Michael and his team also create custom content and personalized web work.
[02:00] Everyone should start thinking about using Google Ads.
[02:20] Michael shares how he got started with Google Ads. His background is in B2B sales.
[03:40] Google Ads are a complimentary thing to Facebook Ads.
[03:50] Google will actually help you get your first campaigns up.
[04:50] Google has three networks. The search network is keyword-based, the display network is behavior-based, and the YouTube network - the video network.
[05:49] When you’re spending any amount of money on Facebook Ads, you are generating an enormous amount of awareness for your name, your products, and whatever sequence you have in your launch. During that time people are doing searches for you and your product name and you are leaving it up to the search engine to give them back something organic.
[07:32] YouTube ads are different than Facebook Ads.
[08:59] Once people engage with our Facebook Ads, that is often not our last stop.
[10:02] With Google, you are garnering the attention that is already there and that is an opportunity that a lot of marketers are not taking.
[11:35] The cost on Google is lower, and the intent is higher.
[14:25] A lot of marketers are on YouTube looking for that solution. If we want that omnipresence then we have to not neglect the highest-trafficked platforms.
[15:48] Search engine optimization (SEO) is very powerful, but that is a long-term game.
[17:50] Google Ads is an incredible short-term play but they also give you this incredible data in analytics. The power of high intent data is incredible.
[19:07] Google Analytics should be on your website. Any form submission should be a goal on Google Analytics.
[20:40] Inside the Google Ads platform is a keyword planning tool where you can insert your website and Google will historically tell you the volume for those keywords and give you some additional ideas.
[21:40] Surfing the net means there is a wave out there. You want to get in front of that wave and you want to find where the waves are as opposed to splashing around and creating your own wave. You can accomplish that with Google Analytics and using the keyword tool in Google Ads.
[24:28] Google Analytics is giving you the data to create the experience people are actively searching for.
[25:30] When you’re doing a core search inquiry scroll to the bottom and the related search terms can drive your new content. Then you can click on one of the related search terms and find related search terms for those.
[26:23] YouTube is the second largest search engine owned by Google.
[27:49] The plug-in Keywords Everywhere will also tell you what people are searching for so you can develop content around those topics. Google is saying people are searching for these topics, go make the content.
[29:38] Zach and Michael have teamed up to host a live workshop on how to get started with Google Ads. Check it out here.
[32:18] The workshop is going to cover three areas: analytics, marketing, and search. It will also cover the basics that someone needs to do to get started using Google Ads now.
[34:55] Making more accessible offers is really going to be the future of this market.
[35:36] The future is going to be Google Ads because people aren’t there yet. Early adopters have so much potential. If you are seeing the potential on Facebook, you are missing the potential on Google if you’re not already there.
[37:20] YouTube is very underutilized. The scalability of YouTube Ads is incredible.
[38:22] It is easier to get started on Google than you think. The complexity is there for anyone that wishes to explore deeper.
[39:55] You don’t have to be an expert to do Google Ads. There are some basic foundational things that you can do to run your own account.
In this episode, I am talking about how to create content that converts to leads, sales, and lifetime customers. If you are looking to create better and more consistent content or just need to know what content to create then this episode is for you.
I am stoked for this week’s episode because one of the questions I get most frequently is what content do I create and how do I create that content. I wanted to do an episode where I talk about how to create content that ultimately converts. We are going to get into what do I mean by converts, how does content convert, and how do we create really good content.
This week I’m hosting a three-hour workshop on how to launch your digital course with Facebook ads. If you want to join me you can check it out here.
With iOS 14 coming out, and the talks of how internet data privacy is going to change, what does it mean for you and your Facebook Ads? Listen in as Zach breaks down what this means for you and your business in under 20 minutes.
In this episode, I am talking about the 90 day launch plan. I am going to walk you through week by week by how I would launch in the next 90 days and how you can too.
I am stoked for this week’s episode because I am going to be walking you through how I plan out my launches and structure my 90 day plan so that I am able to get products out there without just rushing to market with having lackluster launches while getting really incredible results for myself and my clients.
The doors to my new signature program Launch It is officially open. Get more information here. This program puts the 90 launch plan into play with action, support, and accountability.
In this episode, I am talking about the keys to having your best launch yet. I really want your next launch to be your best launch. A lot of times we set expectations on whether the launch is a success or not based on purely the bottom line revenue. There is a lot more that goes into a launch.
We are going to talk about the four keys to having your best launch yet. It is important that we set the stage by saying generally your first launch does not retire you. Your first launch is not the time you quit your job. You are probably still a side hustler and figuring it out. Your launches are going to scale with time. This episode is about YOUR first successful launch. Shed those expectations and comparisons and let’s go!
In this episode, I am talking about how to plan a successful digital course launch so that you can launch with confidence, get your product out there, and create the impact that you want. If you have been thinking about launching a digital course, program, or offer this episode is for you.
Planning is going to be really important in the coming year. We have so many things that are unexpected come up in life, the world, and the economy and we can’t control those things. What we can control is what we plan to do. In this episode, I am going to walk you through my process for creating a successful launch plan. We are going to cover how to create a launch calendar, how to prime your audience for your offer, refining your sales vehicle, and the actual launch itself.
On this episode, I am talking about what it costs to launch. If you have been thinking about launching your digital product, your service, coaching program, consulting, or any other digital-based offer, this episode is for you.
I am breaking down what is required of you to have a successful launch. I am going to talk about the three types of launch expenses, calculating how to figure out what you should be spending on your launch, and what all goes into your launch. I am also going to share behind the scenes details of a few of my launches so you can learn from my mistakes.
After almost 6 years in business, and over $500,000 in managed ad spend, I want to take you behind the scenes of what’s working now in online marketing when it comes to Facebook Ads and give you the lessons that I’ve learned from managing ads for myself and clients.
