"The question isn't can I do it. It's should I do it."
AI made "can I" easy. Whether you should is the part that needs judgement.
Last episode for a little while as we build a new studio. 30 in, thank you.

Don't use AI, you fall behind. Lean too hard, same result.
AI hands you the average. Treat it like a capable junior: great for data and patterns, not for replacing your judgement.

Blending Ads, GA4, Search Console and CRM data used to mean forcing everything to line up at the data level.
Now AI joins the dots even when dimensions don't match. Get data formatted, accurate, & queryable. Then let a human expert interrogate.

Maelie recaps a Reddit PPC thread that stuck with him:
Someone's asked ChatGPT for optimisation recommendations and actioned them all at face value

The detail layer of ad management (keywords, bids, search terms) is the first thing AI replaces.
So value moves up. Helicopter view, not the weeds. See the direction, then point everything at it.

A framework guarantees a good job by default. The baseline, every account, every time.
The bespoke thinking on top is what takes it from good to great.

When ad management feels messy, people ask for more time.
But more hours just buys more of the same. You don't need more time. You need a better system.

Our ad management framework, five areas: reporting, account health, channel optimisation, strategic reviews, custom work.
First four run every time. The fifth is the deeper work.

Custom work sounds like the good stuff.
But if everything is custom, every task starts from a standing start.
Bespoke belongs on top of a baseline, not instead of one.

Turned mobile off on one account, it worked. Weeks later, different account struggling, I asked what to try.
"I don't know, I've turned mobile off and everything."

Dabbling: one big session a week. Grazing: a few minutes most days.
Grazing wins. You feel how the account behaves instead of rebuilding it from memory.

Great pitch. Impressive person.
Then they disappear and you get a junior.
The agency that wins your business shouldn't be different from the one that runs it.

Cheap PPC management isn't a saving.
You save on the fee. You lose it back on wasted ad spend, poor tracking, and missed opportunities.

If your agency charges a % of media spend, they earn more when you spend more.
That doesn't make them bad. It means the incentive isn't aligned with yours.

A healthy PPC agency relationship is transparent, commercially grounded, and constructively challenging.
If yours is missing one, you've got a problem.

Running PPC without conversion tracking is like walking through a forest without a map.
You go in circles.
