Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) is a big change from how searches usually work.
For decades we’ve been used to seeing 10 blue links for our searches—and clicking on them took us to web pages.
With SGE, the process changes. We’re seeing answers to our queries directly in the search results, removing the need to click on links. And we’re also seeing changes in ad placements, which significantly impact our organic search and paid search performance.
In this episode, I spoke to Ashley Fletcher - CMO at Adthena, a paid search intelligence platform.
Ashley talked about how SGE can impact search performance and how advertisers can adapt to those changes. He also touched on the implications of privacy regulations on Google Ads and more.

- How SGE is changing paid and organic search performance
- How privacy regulations can impact your Google Ads

In this episode, I spoke to Danny Gavin who runs Optidge, an agency that helps businesses grow using PPC, SEO, paid social, and more.
Danny talked about how those multiple departments can collaborate and share insights to drive more effective results.

I spoke with Sam Tomlinson, the Executive Vice President at Warschawski, a marketing agency in this episode of PPC Town Hall.
Sam is one of the deepest thinkers in PPC. Every time I speak to him, he opens my mind to things I hadn’t thought of before.
And this episode was one of those conversations.
In this episode, Sam shared some really interesting data analysis: using an actual customer export from Shopify – loading it up to GPT-4, asking it to conduct an RFM analysis of the data, visualizing the outputs, and then exporting the customer segments.
He spoke about how this took his agency only a fraction of the time to accomplish that which would take a data scientist hours.
Sam also shared some thought-provoking, contrarian views on AI and how we should do PPC in general.
