obsession?????

@PPCKirk

#SLCDMC

3 Reasons I don’t rarely use Custom Labels in Shopping Ads

@PPCKirk

“It’s okay, I used a Custom Label.”

#SLCDMC

A Good Setup Trumps Labels

@PPCKirk

Use the structure you have.

If it doesn’t change your bidding practice, don’t label it.

#SLCDMC

People don’t buy the product you think they should.

“You will remove these restraints and leave the cell with the door open.

…and you’ll drop your weapon.”

“…of conversions DON’T match the product clicked.”

@PPCKirk

#SLCDMC

Labels Create Duplicate Product Issues

How Should You Construct Your RLSA Shopping Campaigns?

@PPCKirk

#SLCDMC

First: Build Your Remarketing Lists

@PPCKirk

#SLCDMC

Try user behavior lists…

@PPCKirk

#SLCDMC

…or micro-conversion lists.

@PPCKirk

#SLCDMC

@PPCKirk

Think of Shopping RLSA like DSA, the robots have control.

#SLCDMC

Setting up your RLSA Shopping Campaigns.

@PPCKirk

OPEN:

Shamwow!#1- Copy Current Shopping Campaign

#2- Paste & Rename

#3- Add RLSA Lists to Ad Groups in bulk…

@PPCKirk

#SLCDMC

Copy RLSA lists, select “Make multiple changes”, paste into the new window and select your ad groups.

@PPCKirk

#SLCDMC

Utilize 1 Main “Master” Campaign

@PPCKirk

Shopping – RLSA – All Products - US

#SLCDMC

Pull Top Brands Into Individual Campaigns

@PPCKirk
