(10:57) “I’m CPC agnostic. I don’t care if my CPC is 25 cents or $1000. What I care about is my cost per lead.” - Jason

How much should my budget be? (14:40) “The budget should be whatever you can risk in your first month and not ruin your business.” - Chris

Please look at my website. What do we need to fix? (19:28) “I get this question every time I get a new Google Ads client and 70% of the time there’s nothing to be worried about on the website.” - Jason

Should I have some landing pages created? (23:29) “There are times I recommend landing pages, but for those of you that have a moderately decent website with service pages with local or product information, pricing, a phone number or a form - that’s usually the best way.” - Chris

Is it working? (27:33) “It is ridiculous to expect your long-term results will be what you see during the first 30 days.”  - Jason

How do we track things? (31:51) “I break it down into the 3 ways we can track things – lead forms, phone calls on the website, and calls from phone ad extension clicks.” - Jason

Should I bid on my competitors’ name? (40:57) “If you want to do it, it should be intentional.” - Jason
