  1. 0:00I spent over 122 million dollars on
  2. 0:02Google Ads to generate my clients over
  3. 0:0410.2 billion dollars in sales in over
  4. 0:071,000 different niches. And these are
  5. 0:10the six Google Ad hacks that I wish I
  6. 0:12knew sooner. Starting with hack number
  7. 0:15one. When it comes to Google Ads, most
  8. 0:17people do it all wrong. They set up
  9. 0:19their Google Ads campaign, they go into
  10. 0:21Google Keyword Planner, they populate
  11. 0:24their campaigns with pretty much all of
  12. 0:26these irrelevant keywords because they
  13. 0:28only doing it based on the cost per
  14. 0:30click. Now, what you must understand is
  15. 0:32that in any Google Ads campaign that
  16. 0:34there are 20% of keywords that move 80%
  17. 0:37of the freight, meaning they get you 80%
  18. 0:39of the leads, 80% of the ROAS. And what
  19. 0:42most people don't realize is that the
  20. 0:4480/20 principle [music] is actually
  21. 0:46fractal. And what that means in other
  22. 0:48words is that you get 4% of keywords
  23. 0:51that drive 64%
  24. 0:53of the results inside of your campaigns.
  25. 0:55And if you don't believe me, just look
  26. 0:57inside your Google Ad campaign right
  27. 1:00now. Do an export of all of the keywords
  28. 1:02and you will realize that 20% of your
  29. 1:04keywords drive 80% of the [music]
  30. 1:06traffic. And consequently, 4% of the
  31. 1:09keywords drive 64%
  32. 1:12of your results. And once you do this
  33. 1:14exercise, you will see that there is a
  34. 1:17handful of keywords that I call Coliseum
  35. 1:20keywords. It is the one keyword that you
  36. 1:23pretty much can build your entire
  37. 1:25business around. And this is what all of
  38. 1:27the pros do. They identify what are the
  39. 1:30few keywords inside their campaigns and
  40. 1:32their industries that really is the
  41. 1:34lever that drives most of the growth for
  42. 1:36their business. So, instead of running
  43. 1:38around thinking about how do I get the
  44. 1:39most amount of traffic for my monthly
  45. 1:41budget? Instead, you want to look at it
  46. 1:43through a different lens and think about
  47. 1:45[music] how do I make the most amount of
  48. 1:47money from my budget every month. And I
  49. 1:50realized this early on in my career. I
  50. 1:52actually cold called a huge insurance
  51. 1:55company through their call center and it
  52. 1:57ended up closing them. It was still to
  53. 1:59this day one of the biggest deals that
  54. 2:00I've ever closed in my life. And I never
  55. 2:02forget logging into their campaign and
  56. 2:05seeing that there was a few keywords in
  57. 2:06there, like the word life insurance,
  58. 2:08that was a hundred and eighty-two
  59. 2:11dollars a click. And this company was
  60. 2:13spending around two million dollars a
  61. 2:15month on this single keyword alone.
  62. 2:18After running their campaign for over
  63. 2:20six months, we identified that the word
  64. 2:23life insurance was driving 64%
  65. 2:27of their results. And we found out that
  66. 2:29while we obviously needed to have a
  67. 2:30whole bunch of other keywords [music] in
  68. 2:32the campaign, unless we were performing
  69. 2:34very, very well for that one keyword,
  70. 2:36our sales and our leads would suffer
  71. 2:38dramatically. So, the way that you want
  72. 2:40to be thinking about your coliseum
  73. 2:41keywords for your own business is
  74. 2:43transactional [music]
  75. 2:44keywords. I.E. keywords that have a lot
  76. 2:47of intent behind them. Don't look at
  77. 2:49them at just based on how much search
  78. 2:51volume that they get, or on basically
  79. 2:53how much they cost to get that as a
  80. 2:55click. Instead, you want to put yourself
  81. 2:57in the shoes of the buyer and think
  82. 2:59about when you're looking at every
  83. 3:01single keyword on that list, do I think,
  84. 3:03using my discretion, [music] that
  85. 3:05somebody typing that would be looking to
  86. 3:07buy my service? For instance, if you're
  87. 3:09an accountant and you're in New York
  88. 3:11City, going for the word accountant,
  89. 3:13that's a single keyword, it's going to
  90. 3:14get a shitload of volume, the CPCs will
  91. 3:17be cheaper, because there's not much
  92. 3:19purchase intent behind it. Instead, if
  93. 3:21you were going over bookkeeping
  94. 3:23accountant New York City, there is more
  95. 3:25queries in that, the CPC is going to be
  96. 3:27higher, but there's going to be a lot
  97. 3:29more buyer intent behind that. And you
  98. 3:30want to make sure that a vast majority
  99. 3:33of your budget is only focused on
  100. 3:35keywords that [music] have a high
  101. 3:37transaction ratio. So, this is how to
  102. 3:39apply this in your business. If you're
  103. 3:40running Google Ads right now, go into
  104. 3:42your Ads Manager, export all of your ad
  105. 3:45spend by keywords, and add all the
  106. 3:47additional columns on there, whether
  107. 3:48it's cost per lead or ROAS, and get that
  108. 3:51number, feed it into Clawed, and
  109. 3:53basically say which of the keywords are
  110. 3:56driving 80% of the results. And then it
  111. 3:58will give you the list of keywords, and
  112. 4:00then you're going to find out that
  113. 4:01there's probably four or five keywords
  114. 4:03in your ad account that are literally
  115. 4:05driving 64% of your results. And I'm
  116. 4:07going to tell you in a moment exactly
  117. 4:09what you want to do with those four to
  118. 4:11five keywords. And that is hack number
  119. 4:13one, coliseum keywords. And this isn't
  120. 4:17theory, I'm not some armchair expert, so
  121. 4:19this is literally the stuff that I use
  122. 4:21to go from cold calling businesses in my
  123. 4:24bedroom making $150 a day to then taking
  124. 4:27that money, investing it into ads and
  125. 4:29traffic and Google Ads, and it
  126. 4:31ultimately landed me a seat on Shark
  127. 4:33Tank. So now you know exactly how to
  128. 4:35find the most valuable keywords in your
  129. 4:37market. Now I'm going to show you how to
  130. 4:39actually write ads that grab your
  131. 4:41prospects by the throat and demand their
  132. 4:43attention, which brings us to hack
  133. 4:46number two. So when it comes to Google
  134. 4:48Ads, 2% of advertisers literally get 50%
  135. 4:52of the traffic. And half of all Google
  136. 4:54searches result in the user not clicking
  137. 4:57on any ad at all. And the reason that
  138. 4:59that is is that most people's ads are
  139. 5:02limp, boring, and vanilla. And what you
  140. 5:05will notice very, very quickly [music]
  141. 5:06is that everybody does the same
  142. 5:09They just take that keyword, they stick
  143. 5:11it as the opening headline, and then
  144. 5:12they write a limp description, and then
  145. 5:14they're kind of done. Or they commit the
  146. 5:16worst cardinal sin of all, and they try
  147. 5:19to sell people their product or service
  148. 5:21from the ad itself. People can't buy
  149. 5:23from your ad, so why try to sell it?
  150. 5:26Instead, what your ad must be doing is
  151. 5:28simply selling the click. You must load
  152. 5:31up your ad with a huge benefit. Yes, you
  153. 5:33must include the keyword, but there must
  154. 5:35be a level of intrigue. Intrigue and
  155. 5:38curiosity is one of the most powerful
  156. 5:40human emotions that exist, and all we're
  157. 5:42trying to do is to steal the vast
  158. 5:45majority of people's attention on that
  159. 5:47Google search page to get them [music]
  160. 5:49to click to our ad. So, the way that we
  161. 5:51do that is by understanding what's
  162. 5:53behind the [music] click. When you use
  163. 5:54Google, you use it because you're
  164. 5:56searching for information. But, most
  165. 5:58people, they don't think about that when
  166. 6:00they're writing their ads. They think,
  167. 6:01"Well, this is an advertisement, so I
  168. 6:03must sell my thing." But, what people
  169. 6:04want is information. So, we must promise
  170. 6:06them from the ad itself that they are
  171. 6:08going to get the information that it is
  172. 6:09that they're looking for by clicking on
  173. 6:11our ads. Sounds pretty elementary, but
  174. 6:13you'll be absolutely surprised with how
  175. 6:15many people ignore this basic
  176. 6:17fundamental. So, how do you write a good
  177. 6:19Google ad? Well, first of all, we don't
  178. 6:22sit down with a blank piece of paper and
  179. 6:24try to come up with a great ad. That is
  180. 6:26what amateurs do. What we do is we do
  181. 6:28something called the Halo strategy. We
  182. 6:30take your Coliseum keyword and we jump
  183. 6:33onto Google. And we start looking around
  184. 6:35in forums, on Quora, on Reddit. And we
  185. 6:38start to populate the Halo strategy
  186. 6:40worksheet that has all of their hopes,
  187. 6:42fears, pains, and dreams. We don't want
  188. 6:45to guess what our market wants. We want
  189. 6:47to enter a conversation that is already
  190. 6:49taking place in their mind. And then I
  191. 6:51want you to open up your Google Ads
  192. 6:53Builder. And I want you to completely
  193. 6:55unleash hell. I want you to write as
  194. 6:58many headlines as you possibly can. And
  195. 7:00then I want you to whittle it down to
  196. 7:02the 20 best headlines of all. And the
  197. 7:04way that we think about headlines on
  198. 7:06Google Ads, we first must deliver on the
  199. 7:08click. We want to take our Coliseum
  200. 7:10keyword and we do need to more often
  201. 7:12than not include that somewhere in the
  202. 7:14ad. So, let's say that you're a divorce
  203. 7:16lawyer. You jump on the Google, you type
  204. 7:17it in, you can see four ads that come up
  205. 7:19on the screen. Divorce lawyers in
  206. 7:21Lilydale, professional divorce lawyers,
  207. 7:23separation experts. Like, they've all
  208. 7:25got the keyword directly at the start of
  209. 7:28the ad. Instead, what we want to do is
  210. 7:30we want to sell the click. Somebody that
  211. 7:32is typing in divorce lawyers, they have
  212. 7:34got questions that they need answers to.
  213. 7:36So, what we're going to do is going to
  214. 7:37go around in all these forums, look at
  215. 7:39all these divorce books. We're going to
  216. 7:40do all of the hard gruntwork to find out
  217. 7:43the emotionally charged ad copy that we
  218. 7:46can put together that is going to make
  219. 7:47it next to impossible for somebody not
  220. 7:50to click our ad. So, check this out. A
  221. 7:52top divorce lawyer's secret checklist
  222. 7:55finally revealed. 22 tip-offs your
  223. 7:58husband may be cheating on you. Nine
  224. 8:00foolproof ways to discover if your
  225. 8:02husband is hiding money. This is really
  226. 8:05understanding the psychology of that
  227. 8:07marketplace. If you go around and you
  228. 8:09look at online, you'll find out that
  229. 8:11most divorces happen because there is
  230. 8:14some infidelity happening within the
  231. 8:16marriage. And then you can see who are
  232. 8:18the people that mostly are searching for
  233. 8:20divorce lawyers, you'll see that there
  234. 8:22is a skew towards women. That's why we
  235. 8:24use the husband line on there. So, it's
  236. 8:26really understanding the market to write
  237. 8:28an ad that is irresistible for people
  238. 8:30not to go out and actually find the
  239. 8:32answers to these questions that we're
  240. 8:34posing to them. And especially when
  241. 8:35you're competing with all the
  242. 8:36advertisers that are all doing the same
  243. 8:38thing, you got to zig while everybody
  244. 8:40else zags. And this is how you get
  245. 8:42disproportionate returns from every
  246. 8:44dollar that you spend. You can come up
  247. 8:46with endless ads that literally come
  248. 8:49into any market and wipe the floor with
  249. 8:51the competition by just applying just a
  250. 8:53little bit of creativity. And that is
  251. 8:55hack number two. Sell the click. And if
  252. 8:58you're enjoying this, you're getting
  253. 9:00value out of it, make sure that you are
  254. 9:02subscribed cuz your boy is going to be
  255. 9:03dropping way more sauce in the coming
  256. 9:06weeks. So, when it comes to actually
  257. 9:08bidding on these keywords, what most
  258. 9:10people do is they just hand the keys to
  259. 9:12Google and they let this thing run
  260. 9:14rampant and just ding ding ding on your
  261. 9:16credit card. So, instead, let me show
  262. 9:18you exactly what I would do if I had a
  263. 9:20samurai sword to my neck and I would be
  264. 9:23beheaded unless my Google Ads campaign
  265. 9:26was profitable. Which brings us to hack
  266. 9:28number three. So, when it comes to
  267. 9:30building out Google Ads campaigns,
  268. 9:31there's typically two different
  269. 9:33approaches. One approach is what I call
  270. 9:35the fishing [music] trawler approach.
  271. 9:36Where there's a fishing trawler, They
  272. 9:37cast out a big net and they run them all
  273. 9:40in there and then over time they
  274. 9:42basically throw out the fish that they
  275. 9:43don't want. AKA the keywords [music]
  276. 9:46that are unprofitable for them. It
  277. 9:47sounds okay, but it is a very costly
  278. 9:50exercise because you need to buy all the
  279. 9:52data and you end up spending a huge
  280. 9:55amount of money on clicks that were
  281. 9:57never going to be profitable for you in
  282. 9:58the first place. And the next way is
  283. 10:00what I call the knife to the neck
  284. 10:02approach. And it's if you had a knife to
  285. 10:04your neck, this was your last $2,000 and
  286. 10:07this campaign absolutely positively had
  287. 10:10to work, otherwise you would be
  288. 10:11beheaded. And this is exactly what I
  289. 10:13recommend that you do. Is you sit down
  290. 10:15and you look at your [music] Coliseum
  291. 10:17keywords and you scrutinize every
  292. 10:19keyword on there and you say, "What is
  293. 10:21the nature of that click? What do I
  294. 10:23think that someone would be looking for
  295. 10:25when they do [music] search that?" Does
  296. 10:26it have a high transactional intent
  297. 10:29behind it? And if the answer is no, it
  298. 10:31doesn't make it on our list. So, we're
  299. 10:33going to populate our ad campaign only
  300. 10:35with those keywords. And every single
  301. 10:37day we're going to log in and we're
  302. 10:39going to see, are we hitting our daily
  303. 10:41budget based on these keywords? [music]
  304. 10:43And if we're not, we're going to keep on
  305. 10:44increasing our bid by 10 to 20% per day
  306. 10:47until our ad is guaranteed to be at the
  307. 10:50top of the page and we are spending our
  308. 10:52budget. And if we still do that exercise
  309. 10:54and we still [music] haven't hit our
  310. 10:55budget, only then are we going to start
  311. 10:58adding other keywords in until we hit
  312. 11:01our daily budget. This way you're really
  313. 11:04controlling that your ads show up for
  314. 11:06and you can be way more intentional. And
  315. 11:08then every single day you want to look
  316. 11:10at what are the keywords that are
  317. 11:12hitting KPI or aren't hitting KPI. And
  318. 11:14the KPI for you will [music] either be
  319. 11:16cost per lead or ROAS. And then over
  320. 11:19time, like a bonsai tree, we want to
  321. 11:21trim and prune this thing where we're
  322. 11:23removing keywords that aren't getting us
  323. 11:25the results so the keywords that we do
  324. 11:27have in there are getting more budget
  325. 11:28and then the results just compound and
  326. 11:30get better and better [music] over time.
  327. 11:31So, here's how to specifically apply
  328. 11:33this for your own business. Every single
  329. 11:35day, try to identify five keywords that
  330. 11:37have high transactional intent you can
  331. 11:39add to your campaigns. Then, you want to
  332. 11:41look for about 15 to 20 negative
  333. 11:44keywords, meaning you do not want your
  334. 11:46ads showing for these keywords, and add
  335. 11:48these to your campaigns. So that over
  336. 11:50time, you're spending 10 to 20 minutes
  337. 11:53per day in refining and trimming this
  338. 11:55bonsai tree, and basically making sure
  339. 11:58that you are spending more money on the
  340. 12:00things that are working and less money
  341. 12:02on the things that aren't working. And
  342. 12:04that's how you drive profitability
  343. 12:05long-term. And that is hack number
  344. 12:07three, the bonsai tree. Okay, so that's
  345. 12:10how you make sure that your campaigns
  346. 12:11are profitable. But now, let me show you
  347. 12:13the dirty little secret on why I bid as
  348. 12:17high as humanly possible on my most
  349. 12:20valuable keywords, which brings us to
  350. 12:22hack number four. Most people think
  351. 12:25their job is done once their ads are
  352. 12:27showing up on page one. They do a little
  353. 12:29bit of hygiene check as they do a couple
  354. 12:30of Google searches. Yeah, there my ads
  355. 12:32are. Look, look, there I am at position
  356. 12:34three, I'm at position four. This is an
  357. 12:36amateur move, because Google's own stats
  358. 12:38show that position one in the ads is
  359. 12:41double the amount of traffic from
  360. 12:43position number four. And that first ad
  361. 12:46literally steals 70 to 80% of all the
  362. 12:50clicks on the ads. So, think about that,
  363. 12:52right? You are literally able to grab
  364. 12:55the lion's share and market share of all
  365. 12:57the traffic by ensuring that you are
  366. 12:59paying one position number one. So, what
  367. 13:02we are going to do is we are going to
  368. 13:03find out not one of the cheapest leads,
  369. 13:05but not one of the cheapest clicks, but
  370. 13:07what are the leads that drive the most
  371. 13:10revenue for our business. So, you can
  372. 13:12set this up with a tracking platform
  373. 13:14like Wicked Reports or Hiros or a whole
  374. 13:17slew of other tracking reports, where
  375. 13:19effectively we get the actual data of
  376. 13:23what leads came into our business and
  377. 13:25what keywords they actually searched for
  378. 13:27to become a lead. And then what you want
  379. 13:29to do is you want to jump into your ads
  380. 13:31manager and you want to see what your
  381. 13:33search impression share is for that
  382. 13:35[music] keyword. All search impression
  383. 13:37share is is the amount of share that you
  384. 13:39are taking up when people do those
  385. 13:41searches. So let's just say that you
  386. 13:43have a 50% impression share, that means
  387. 13:45if 10 people were to jump onto Google
  388. 13:47and search for that keyword, your ad
  389. 13:49would only show up five out of 10 times.
  390. 13:51[music] And what I have found from
  391. 13:53spending hundreds of millions of dollars
  392. 13:55on Google Ads is the sweet spot of where
  393. 13:57you want to be operating is between 80
  394. 13:59[music] and 85% impression share.
  395. 14:02Because when it comes to positions of
  396. 14:04the ads, the results aren't linear, they
  397. 14:06compound. You want to make sure that you
  398. 14:08are literally taking the lion's share of
  399. 14:11your marketplace by bidding the most
  400. 14:13aggressively. [music] So after we've
  401. 14:15achieved this for our Coliseum keywords
  402. 14:17and we've got an 85% in search
  403. 14:19impression share, we've kept on
  404. 14:20increasing our budget and there's no
  405. 14:22more traffic to buy for those keywords,
  406. 14:25that's where we start to add other
  407. 14:26keywords on that might have less intent
  408. 14:29behind them, but are going to ultimately
  409. 14:31fuel our strategy and also drive more
  410. 14:34traffic over time. But the thing that
  411. 14:35you want to make sure that more so than
  412. 14:37anything is that 80% of your budget are
  413. 14:40going to those Coliseum keywords that
  414. 14:43you know have the highest LTV. You don't
  415. 14:45want to treat all keywords equally.
  416. 14:47[music]
  417. 14:48So I recommend splitting up your budget
  418. 14:50and having 80% in a campaign with just
  419. 14:53your Coliseum keywords and then the
  420. 14:55other 20% for all of these keywords that
  421. 14:57go a little bit further outside [music]
  422. 14:59from the bull's-eye and might be a
  423. 15:01little bit more informational, a little
  424. 15:03bit more research-based queries and not
  425. 15:05so much transactional queries. So let's
  426. 15:08wrap all this up into the action steps
  427. 15:10and how you can deploy this right now in
  428. 15:12your business. You want to go through
  429. 15:14and make sure that for your top four to
  430. 15:16five Coliseum keywords that you have an
  431. 15:1980 to 85% impression share for them.
  432. 15:21Keep on increasing the bids until you
  433. 15:23achieve this. And the only way that you
  434. 15:25can do this is if you have the data to
  435. 15:27do it. So then, block out a 1-hour
  436. 15:29meeting with yourself on the first
  437. 15:31Monday of every single month, sit down,
  438. 15:34look at all the sales that you did in
  439. 15:36your company, and then have on that also
  440. 15:38all the keywords that those people
  441. 15:40specifically typed in in order to become
  442. 15:44a lead, and then make sure that your
  443. 15:45media buyers know, "Yo, yo, yo. Spend
  444. 15:48[music] 80% of our budget on these
  445. 15:51keywords cuz they brought us the [music]
  446. 15:53biggest, fattest, juiciest clients each
  447. 15:55and every month." And that is hack
  448. 15:57number four, position number one or
  449. 16:00nothing. And now look, the moment that
  450. 16:02you do this and your ad account starts
  451. 16:04printing money, a little ding, ding,
  452. 16:06ding is going to go off in the fine
  453. 16:08headquarters of Google, and the Google
  454. 16:10reps are going to start calling you. And
  455. 16:12they're going to tell you certain things
  456. 16:14to activate in your ad account that is
  457. 16:16going to burn your profit margins to the
  458. 16:18ground. So, I'm going to tell you
  459. 16:19exactly what to do when that phone
  460. 16:22starts ringing, which brings us to hack
  461. 16:25number five. So, every single month
  462. 16:27you're going to be getting emails and
  463. 16:28you're going to be getting calls from
  464. 16:29the fine folks over at Google. And
  465. 16:32they're going to call you up and say,
  466. 16:33"Hey, Sabri, I was just looking at your
  467. 16:35account here, and I can see that you
  468. 16:36don't have these features turned on, and
  469. 16:38you don't have PMAX on, and you don't
  470. 16:39have AI max, and you don't have all of
  471. 16:41these little whistles added onto your ad
  472. 16:42account that you should really add
  473. 16:44because you're missing out on all this
  474. 16:45traffic." Then you're going to be
  475. 16:47tempted. You're going to be like, "This
  476. 16:48is Google. They're calling me. They're
  477. 16:50telling me these are the things I need
  478. 16:51to do in my ad account. Surely they have
  479. 16:54my best interest at heart." And then you
  480. 16:55do those changes to your ad account, and
  481. 16:58lo and behold, you spend a lot more
  482. 17:00money, but you don't make a lot more
  483. 17:02money. You don't get a lot more leads,
  484. 17:03but you do get a bigger bill at the end
  485. 17:06of every single month. And you see, the
  486. 17:08fine folks at Google, they have
  487. 17:10commission based on the amount of
  488. 17:12features that you have enabled in your
  489. 17:15account that you must hit. They want to
  490. 17:17learn on your money. They want you to
  491. 17:19enable all of the features so that they
  492. 17:21can see what is working and what isn't.
  493. 17:22So, we are going to ignore their calls.
  494. 17:25We are going to block their numbers. We
  495. 17:27are not going to listen to their advice
  496. 17:29cuz the most advanced thing that you can
  497. 17:31do is to do the fundamentals and that's
  498. 17:34exactly what I have been giving you in
  499. 17:36this video so far. And how do I know
  500. 17:38this? How do I know that this is the
  501. 17:41case? Cuz I've been lured into this
  502. 17:43many, many times. And I say, "Hey, this
  503. 17:45sounds great and I can count on one hand
  504. 17:49the times that these things have
  505. 17:50actually [music] worked. And even when
  506. 17:52they do work, they are not mega needle
  507. 17:55movers. They haven't geometrically
  508. 17:56changed my business. [music] So,
  509. 17:58instead, I learned the hard way. I spent
  510. 18:01all the money. I have the battle scars
  511. 18:03to prove it and now I just focus on the
  512. 18:05fundamentals. Do I have the best ads?
  513. 18:07[music] Are those ads the most relevant
  514. 18:10to the landing pages that I'm sending
  515. 18:11them to? Do I do all the tracking that I
  516. 18:13need to do know exactly what are the
  517. 18:15keywords that are making the most money?
  518. 18:17Am I spending 80% of my budget on those
  519. 18:19keywords? And I repeat that [music]
  520. 18:21cycle. And do not be tempted by shiny
  521. 18:23object syndrome. I keep to the
  522. 18:26fundamentals. So, the way that you can
  523. 18:27specifically apply this to your business
  524. 18:30right away is by having the auto apply
  525. 18:33recommendation off, to have Google's
  526. 18:35number blocked in your phone so you do
  527. 18:37not get tempted to pick it up and to try
  528. 18:40any of these features and you say to
  529. 18:41yourself, "I'm not going to do anything
  530. 18:43else until I know what my four to five
  531. 18:46Coliseum keywords are and until they are
  532. 18:48spending 80% of my budget and I [music]
  533. 18:50have a dedicated landing page for every
  534. 18:52single one of them, then I will start to
  535. 18:54experiment." And the key rule is that
  536. 18:57you don't roll out any new features
  537. 18:59until you are spending your entire
  538. 19:02budget, you have 85% search impression
  539. 19:05share. So, you're mainly focused on
  540. 19:07search. At the end of the day, their
  541. 19:09core product is search and that's what
  542. 19:11remains [music] to be the most
  543. 19:12profitable thing on Google. And that is
  544. 19:14hack number five. Do not take the
  545. 19:17[music] reps' call. So, you've protected
  546. 19:19your account from the Google rep. You
  547. 19:21are page one, position one for your most
  548. 19:24valuable keywords. Now, it is time to
  549. 19:27break the legs of your competition in
  550. 19:30front of the eyes of your prospect,
  551. 19:32which brings us to the sixth and final
  552. 19:35hack. So, on Google, you can actually
  553. 19:37bid on your competitors' brand names.
  554. 19:39Now, it's a little bit of a dirty thing.
  555. 19:41People don't really like to talk about
  556. 19:42it. Everyone does it, but everyone does
  557. 19:45it the wrong way, cuz they are lazy
  558. 19:48marketers. And what they do is they take
  559. 19:50their landing pages, and they just go,
  560. 19:52"Oh, like there's 100, there's 2,000,
  561. 19:54there's 5,000 searches for this biggest
  562. 19:57competitor in my marketplace. Let me
  563. 19:58build a competitor ad group, add my
  564. 20:00competitors' brand names in there, and
  565. 20:03then basically send that traffic to my
  566. 20:04landing [music] page." Look, you are
  567. 20:06going to get traffic. You are going to
  568. 20:08get leads. You are going to get sales
  569. 20:10for a result of it. But, more often than
  570. 20:11not, these are the least profitable
  571. 20:14parts of most people's campaigns. It's
  572. 20:16cuz they do it in the shitty, lazy way.
  573. 20:18Instead, if you haven't already been
  574. 20:21picking up what I'm putting down, we're
  575. 20:22going to do things the hard way, but the
  576. 20:24right way, so we can have more dineros
  577. 20:26in our bank account each and every
  578. 20:28month. So, what I want you to do is I
  579. 20:29want you to highlight the five to 10
  580. 20:31biggest competitors in your market. I
  581. 20:33want you to populate their brand names
  582. 20:35into Google Keyword Planner. That's
  583. 20:37going to show you the amount of searches
  584. 20:39that those competitors get. And that's
  585. 20:40going to tell you which are the ones
  586. 20:42that are getting the most traffic, and
  587. 20:43they're going to get most of the
  588. 20:44attention when we're building out our
  589. 20:46ads. And instead of just having a basic
  590. 20:48landing page that gets all of the
  591. 20:50traffic from our whole campaign, and
  592. 20:51setting our competitor campaigns, we're
  593. 20:53going to be building specific ads that
  594. 20:56again kick the bruised knee of our
  595. 20:59prospect. They're searching for a
  596. 21:00competitor, we want to put a seed of
  597. 21:02doubt in their mind, and get them to
  598. 21:04click through to our landing page. And
  599. 21:05then what we are going to do is we're
  600. 21:07going to have a dedicated landing page
  601. 21:09for each and every competitor that we're
  602. 21:11going up against, and we want to say all
  603. 21:13the pros and cons of doing business with
  604. 21:15us and doing business with them. We
  605. 21:17don't want to leave it by chance. We
  606. 21:19don't want to just hijack their traffic.
  607. 21:21We want to break the legs of this
  608. 21:23competitor in front of the eyes of the
  609. 21:25prospect. [music] So they know
  610. 21:27unequivocally,
  611. 21:28100%, we are the business to do business
  612. 21:32with. And the reason that this works is
  613. 21:33that people are naturally going to be
  614. 21:35comparing other people. It's very rare
  615. 21:37that if you're selling something that's
  616. 21:39expensive, that somebody is just going
  617. 21:41to come through, do a Google search, and
  618. 21:43do business with you, and not get
  619. 21:45comparative quotes. [music] But
  620. 21:46depending on where you are in the world,
  621. 21:48it is actually illegal to include that
  622. 21:50competitor's brand name in your [music]
  623. 21:52ad if their brand name is trademarked,
  624. 21:55which most people are. So you need to
  625. 21:56get a little bit creative with the way
  626. 21:59that [music] you actually still get
  627. 22:00clicks, but don't mention their name.
  628. 22:02You can bid on their brand name, you
  629. 22:04just can't in the ad itself. [music] So
  630. 22:06there are a few ways to do that. A great
  631. 22:08way is to get a second opinion, or I
  632. 22:10suggest that you see this before hiring
  633. 22:13them. It doesn't name them, but it
  634. 22:15brings up enough curiosity to make them
  635. 22:17want to come through and check you out.
  636. 22:19And this isn't the case in every market,
  637. 22:21but you want to check this out so you
  638. 22:22don't get in any hot water. Then once
  639. 22:24they arrive on the landing page, this is
  640. 22:26when you want to do all the selling that
  641. 22:28needs to be done. I'm talking about
  642. 22:29comparative tables showing the
  643. 22:31differences, the pros and the cons. I
  644. 22:33don't like on competition. I
  645. 22:36like building myself up and showing all
  646. 22:39the proof elements of why people should
  647. 22:40do business with me, more so than why
  648. 22:42they shouldn't do business with the
  649. 22:44other person. Depending on how
  650. 22:45aggressive that you want to be, you can
  651. 22:47go very hard in the paint here. Here's
  652. 22:49how to apply this specifically for your
  653. 22:50business in your industry. I want you to
  654. 22:52find three of your biggest competitors,
  655. 22:54and make sure that they are also the
  656. 22:56ones that are getting the most amount of
  657. 22:58search traffic. Then what I want you to
  658. 23:00do is to build three dedicated landing
  659. 23:02pages specifically addressing your
  660. 23:05service offering versus the competition.
  661. 23:07If you want to get sneaky, you can talk
  662. 23:09about prices, you can bring out reviews,
  663. 23:11you can do all of that kind of stuff,
  664. 23:13depending on how hard that you want to
  665. 23:14go. Then I want you to shave off 5 to
  666. 23:1610% of your overall search budget on
  667. 23:18going on bidding on your competitor's
  668. 23:20brand names and scoop up all those
  669. 23:22low-lying cherries that are out there in
  670. 23:24the orchard. And that is hack number
  671. 23:26six, break their legs. So, everything
  672. 23:29that I've shared with you in this video
  673. 23:31is the fundamentals. And the most
  674. 23:33advanced thing that you can do is to
  675. 23:34follow the fundamentals. Make sure that
  676. 23:36you master these things before mucking
  677. 23:38around with P-Max or A-Max or any of
  678. 23:41these fringe features. [music] And if
  679. 23:43you're wondering, "Sabri, you're on
  680. 23:44Shark Tank, you're making all these
  681. 23:45millions. Why are you giving us all the
  682. 23:47sauce? Why are you producing all of this
  683. 23:49content?" Well, I made a promise to
  684. 23:51myself. I was raised by a single-parent
  685. 23:53mother. I was raised in a house with not
  686. 23:55an abundance of money. And I said, "If I
  687. 23:57ever make it, I am going to do
  688. 23:59everything in my power to put out
  689. 24:01content to help people [music] not
  690. 24:03experience that pain." And my way of
  691. 24:05doing that is by making this content and
  692. 24:07sending the elevator back down to you
  693. 24:10guys that are just on the come up. And
  694. 24:12so, if this content can change just one
  695. 24:14person's life that is out there watching
  696. 24:17it, all the efforts, all the content
  697. 24:18that I put out is worth every single
  698. 24:21second that I spend [music] doing it.
  699. 24:22And if you liked this video, you're
  700. 24:24going to absolutely love this one that I
  701. 24:26put together on how to become
  702. 24:27disgustingly good at digital marketing.
  703. 24:30Like, subscribe, and I'll see you in
  704. 24:32[music] the next one.
