    Frequently Asked Questions:

    What is a Google Ads campaign experiment?

    A campaign experiment allows you to test changes to a campaign by splitting traffic between the original version and a modified version, without permanently changing the original campaign.

    When should I use a Google Ads experiment?

    You should use experiments when you want to test meaningful changes like bidding strategies, landing pages, ad copy, or targeting settings and need data before committing.

    How long should a Google Ads experiment run?

    Experiments should typically run at least 2 to 4 weeks, or until they reach statistical significance with enough conversions to be meaningful.

    What metrics should I use to judge results?

    Focus on conversion volume, cost per conversion, conversion rate, and return on ad spend, not just clicks or impressions.
    What happens when an experiment ends?

    You can apply the experiment results to the original campaign, discard them, or continue testing with a new experiment.

    It shows how Google distributes your ads across channels like Search, YouTube, Display, Discover, Gmail, and Shopping in a Performance Max campaign.


    Does channel performance show exact spend by channel?

    No. Google provides directional data, not precise spend breakdowns, so it should be used for trend analysis, not accounting.

    No. Performance Max does not allow channel-level exclusions.


    How can I push Performance Max more toward Search or Shopping?

    Improve feed quality, add high-intent search themes, strengthen conversion signals, and avoid overlapping standard Search campaigns incorrectly.


    When should I split Performance Max into multiple campaigns?

    When you need clearer control over budgets, product groups, geographies, or asset strategies, especially at higher spend levels.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    What are Google Ads Enhanced Conversions?

    Enhanced Conversions is a feature that improves conversion attribution by securely sending customer data to Google to help match conversions when cookies are not available.

    Are Enhanced Conversions required for Smart Bidding?

    They are not required, but Google strongly recommends them because better conversion data improves Smart Bidding performance over time.

    Does Enhanced Conversions track new users?

    No. It does not create new tracking capabilities. It improves matching accuracy for conversions that already occurred but couldn’t be attributed due to cookie or privacy limitations.

    Do Enhanced Conversions increase conversions or just reporting accuracy?

    They improve reporting accuracy, not actual performance. Better attribution can indirectly improve results by feeding smarter data into automated bidding strategies.
    What’s the difference between Enhanced Conversions and offline conversions?

    Enhanced Conversions happen automatically at conversion time, while offline conversions require manual or scheduled uploads after a lead is qualified or closed.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    What are brand exclusions in Google Ads?

    Brand exclusions prevent your ads from showing on searches that include specific brand names, usually competitors or irrelevant brands.

    Are brand exclusions the same as negative keywords?

    No. Brand exclusions specifically target brand entities, while negative keywords block exact words or phrases in searches.

    Should I use brand exclusions or negative keywords for competitor names?

    Brand exclusions are preferred for known brands because they are more comprehensive and harder to bypass than negatives.

    Do brand exclusions apply to all campaigns automatically?

    Only if applied at the account level. Otherwise, they must be attached to specific campaigns.

    Do brand exclusions work for Performance Max campaigns?

    Yes, brand exclusions are one of the few reliable ways to control brand traffic in Performance Max.

    Can I exclude my own brand?

    Yes, and this is often done when running separate branded and non-branded campaigns.
    How long does it take for brand exclusions to take effect?

    Typically within hours, but full impact is usually visible within 24 to 48 hours as data refreshes.

  • How to Add Categories in Google Business Profile (2x Local Leads + Free GPT)
    Jan 8 2026

    🔥 This is the fastest way to turn Google Ads into your #1 revenue maker:

    https://www.skool.com/theconversionclinic/about?ref=87a17fd6c7cc4c648c5dae2c05f921a2


    In this video, you’ll learn how to add and edit categories for your Google Business Profile. Google Business Profile Categories can impact what searches your business shows up for, so choosing them strategically can matter a lot. I’ll explain the key difference between primary and secondary categories and how each affects rankings.


    Google says local rankings are based on relevance, distance, prominence, and you improve relevance by giving complete, detailed info in your profile (services are one of those info fields): https://support.google.com/business/answer/7091


    WebFX says Services is a ranking factor that “have begun affecting your rankings,” but puts them with things like photos and hours (not in the top “big” factors): https://www.webfx.com/blog/seo/google-business-profile-ranking-factors/


    GPT mentioned in the video: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-ogedF1hwV-jrr-lp-pas-writer


    Prompt:

    I’m optimizing the Services section of a Google Business Profile for a Business Type that mainly serves [Primary Audience].

    Write exactly 3 accurate Google Business Profile categories. For each category, list up to 5 services. Service names must only be real, industry-standard service terms that would appear on an invoice, service menu, professional website, or clinical/technical documentation for this business type.

    Use short, concrete naming patterns such as ‘[Keyword] assessment,’ ‘[Keyword] repair,’ ‘[Keyword] installation,’ ‘[Keyword] replacement,’ ‘[Keyword] evaluation,’ or other standard terms used in this profession.

    You are not allowed to create new concepts, program names, coaching ideas, performance routines, benefit phrases, or long-tail variations. If a service is not a widely recognized offering in this industry, do not use it. Please remember to use keywords for injecting into the descriptions, but do it delicately.

    Descriptions must be 220 to 280 characters using real industry terminology and must describe the actual service, not goals, outcomes, or motivational advice.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Why are categories important in Google Business Profile?

    Categories are one of the strongest ranking signals for local search and determine which searches your business is eligible to appear in.

    What is the primary category vs secondary categories?

    The primary category carries the most ranking weight and should describe your core service, while secondary categories support additional services.

    How many categories can I add?

    You can add up to 9 additional categories, but more is not better, so only add categories that are truly relevant.

    Can adding too many categories hurt my rankings?

    Yes. Irrelevant categories can confuse Google’s understanding of your business and weaken ranking performance.

    How do I change categories in Google Business Profile?

    Log into your Google Business Profile, go to “Edit profile,” select “Business information,” then update categories under the “About” section.

    Can categories help me rank for new services?

    Yes, but only if those services are legitimate, supported by your website, and reflected elsewhere in your profile.
    What’s the biggest Google Business Profile Category mistake businesses make?

    Choosing an incorrect primary category instead of the most specific category that matches their main revenue-generating service.

    Running Google Ads after normal business hours can either waste budget or unlock hidden conversions, depending on how it’s set up. In this video, I break down when after-hours Google Ads actually make sense and when they don’t. I’ll also talk about common mistakes businesses make that cause missed leads or inflated costs overnight. By the end, you’ll know how to decide whether running ads after hours helps or hurts your results.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Should I run Google Ads after business hours?

    Only if your funnel is built to capture and respond to leads without a live salesperson. If calls go unanswered or follow-ups are slow, after-hours ads usually waste budget.


    Are after-hours clicks lower quality?

    Not always. Many users research at night, but conversion quality depends on whether your ads match intent and your landing page handles delayed follow-up properly.


    Should I turn off call ads at night?

    Yes, unless you have call routing, voicemail funnels, or a live answering service. Missed calls hurt quality scores and waste spend.


    Do after-hours ads cost more per click?

    They’re often cheaper due to lower competition, but cheaper clicks don’t matter if conversions don’t happen.


    What campaigns are best to run after hours?

    Lead-form campaigns and informational or high-intent search campaigns tend to perform best outside business hours.


    Should local service businesses run ads 24/7?

    Usually no. Unless they offer emergency services like plumbing or towing where after-hours intent is high.


    What’s the biggest mistake with after-hours Google Ads?

    Assuming more hours equals more revenue instead of measuring whether those hours produce real, qualified leads.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    What are negative keywords in Google Ads?

    Negative keywords prevent your ads from showing when a search includes specific words or phrases you don’t want to target.


    Why are negative keywords important?

    They reduce wasted spend, improve click-through rate, and help ensure your ads only show to high-intent searches.


    Where do I add negative keywords in Google Ads?

    You can add them at the account level, campaign level, or ad group level depending on how broadly you want them applied.


    What’s the difference between negative keyword match types?

    Negative broad blocks searches containing all words, negative phrase blocks searches with the phrase in order, and negative exact blocks only that exact search.


    Should I add negative keywords at the campaign or ad group level?

    Use campaign-level negatives for terms you never want, and ad-group-level negatives to prevent overlap between tightly themed ad groups.
