It's here! Ads are officially landing inside your AI search results, and Google's not asking for permission. In this episode, Mike Ryan and Chris break down the massive global rollout of AI Overviews (AIO) and AI Mode (AIM). They reveal the experimental phase where ads will soon appear inside the AI content itself, and expose the most critical issue: advertisers currently have neither an opt-in nor an opt-out for these new properties. This means your existing ad budget is being automatically pushed into this new environment—a fundamental shift in search since the smartphone.But the real disruption isn't just Google—it's OpenAI. They've launched an aggressive e-commerce shopping assistant model, complete with in-chat checkout and integrated with giants like Walmart and Target.Our hosts explain why this completely changes the game, essentially turning the AI into a marketplace. They discuss the only way retailers can survive this new reality: providing maximum information density (feeds, structured data, landing pages) to be visible to the AI, even as you are forced to compete in its new commission-based ecosystem.About smec (Smarter Ecommerce): At smec - Smarter Ecommerce, we specialize in transforming business goals into optimized ad campaigns.

We offer the smart, proactive solution: leveraging off-channel first-party data. Mike and Chris explain how you can integrate return rate data into your campaigns using tools like Conversions with Cart Data and even Google's Product Return Rate Predictor. Plus: Mike and Chris take a look at how Google is leading the pack with virtual try-on technology to stop returns before they even happen. Finally, the boys tackle the all-important Black Friday strategy, discussing the dilution of the sales event and Google's new "triple peak week" thesis: Surging Sunday, Black Friday, and Cyber Sunday.Links mentioned in this episode:https://smarter-ecommerce.com/en/smec-market-observer/https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/model-reference/virtual-try-on-apihttps://github.com/google-marketing-solutions/product-return-predictorAbout smec (Smarter Ecommerce): At smec - Smarter Ecommerce, we specialize in transforming business goals into optimized ad campaigns.

OMT Recap: Online-Marketing-Trends für die Zahnarztpraxis – Von KI bis Gehaltstransparenz Patrick war für dich auf dem **OMT (Online-Marketing-Tag)** in Mainz, um die neuesten Trends und Deep Dives des Online Marketings mit in die Praxis zu bringen. Der OMT ist eine Fortbildungsplattform für alle Online-Marketer zur Weiterbildung und zum Austausch. In dieser Spezial-Episode – fast schon eine „spontan gefragt“-Ausgabe – erfährst du, was Agenturleiter auf dem Agency Day (einem intimen Event für max. 150 Agenturleiter zu administrativen Themen) bewegt hat und welche Online-Marketing-Themen am Freitag die 700 bis 800 Teilnehmer des OMT beschäftigt haben. Es ging unter anderem um die Wichtigkeit deiner Positionierung (ein Thema, das uns alle betrifft, ob Agentur oder Zahnarztpraxis). Wir blicken auf die rechtlichen Tücken des Homeoffice und das brandheiße Thema Gehaltstransparenz, das jedes Unternehmen in Deutschland betrifft. Aber natürlich sprechen wir auch über die Zukunft von Markenbildung, psychologische Trigger und den strategischen Einsatz von KI in deiner Praxis. Mach dich bereit für Patricks Gedächtnisprotokoll voller Learnings – #wissenmachtan. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse in kurzen Schlagzeilen: - Positionierung ist alles, Authentizität zahlt sich aus: Das Thema Positionierung ist essentiell. Versuche nicht, etwas zu sein, das du nicht bist, denn unterm Strich setzt sich immer Authentizität durch. - Dein Wiedererkennungswert liegt oft im Detail: Kreiere Alleinstellungsmerkmale durch die aktive Nutzung spezifischer Alliterationen, Metaphern oder Sprachkreationen, die du immer wieder verwendest – das bleibt bei den Menschen hängen. - Homeoffice ist rechtlich kein "Easy Going": Rechtlich betrachtet zieht Homeoffice nicht nur Rechte, sondern auch viele Pflichten für den Arbeitgeber nach sich. Der Homeoffice-Platz ist vom Arbeitsschutzgesetz betroffen, was unter anderem eine Elektroprüfung der Geräte alle zweieinhalb Jahre und die Einhaltung des Datenschutzes erfordert. - Gehaltstransparenz wird zur Pflicht (ab 2026): Das Entgelttransparenzgesetz (EU-Richtlinie) gilt ab Mitte 2026 und verpflichtet dich, Bewerbern das Gehalt vor dem Gespräch mitzuteilen. Mitarbeiter haben zudem das Recht, über Dritte Auskunft über die Gehälter von Kollegen in ähnlicher Position zu erhalten, und du musst gegebenenfalls Gehaltsunterschiede beweisen und begründen können (Beweisumkehr). - KI ohne Strategie ist nutzlos: Obwohl Tools zur Bild- und Videogenerierung (wie Avatare) beeindruckend sind, nützt dir der schnellste „Sportwagen“ nichts, wenn der Mensch dahinter fehlt. Es geht darum, die KI zu steuern und strategisches Wissen als Qualitätsfilter einzusetzen, um aus der Masse der generierten Inhalte herauszustechen. PS: Patrick hat auch einige Hacks zur Kampagnenschaltung mitgenommen, ein spannendes Auge auf Microsoft Ads (früher Bing Ads) geworfen, wegen der Kooperationsmöglichkeiten mit LinkedIn und es gibt neue Entwicklungen beim Tracking-Partner Matelso.

In this solo episode, host Mike Ryan tackles the opaqueness of the digital advertising industry. He then reveals a previously confidential email from two senior Google executives. This internal communication confirms that Google's “PMAXification” phase is over. While their old approach was to push Performance Max as the end-all solution, their new strategy is a broader, more complex one centered around a “holy trinity” of campaigns called the PowerPack.Mike breaks down the roles of the three campaign types in the PowerPack—Performance Max (conversions), Demand Gen (consideration), and AI Max for Search (expansion). He then provides a critical look at how these technologies work together in reality, exposing the redundancies and potential for self-competition that could make a “hygienic, well-organized” account harder to manage than ever before. This is a must-watch for anyone who wants to look behind Google's curtain and understand where your ad spend is really going.About smec (Smarter Ecommerce): At smec - Smarter Ecommerce, we specialize in transforming business goals into optimized ad campaigns.

He and Mike dive deep into why Google Search is still an unstoppable "money printing machine" despite new competitors like ChatGPT and Perplexity. They discuss staggering online search stats, like the 5.8 trillion search queries that happen globally each year, with over 90% of them going through Google.But here's the twist: They explore how new AI products like AI Overviews (AIOs) are already creating "zero-click events", which could massively disrupt the classic e-commerce funnel. Could Google's "buy on Google" feature make a comeback? And if it does, what does it mean for retailers who could become just a "warehouse for Google"?This episode isn't just about what's happening; it's about what's coming.

In this week's show, Mike Ryan and Chris Scharmueller dive headfirst into the "PMAXification" of the advertising landscape, a term Mike coined to describe how platforms from Google to TikTok are rushing to automate your ad spend. But just as we thought the black box was here to stay, Google is making a surprising U-turn, opening up more control and data for advertisers. We'll break down if the other platforms, like TikTok with its mandatory GMV Max campaigns and Meta with its "AI-first, no control" strategy, will follow suit.Don't go anywhere because things get even spicier. Mike starts a "crusade" against Google's Search Partner Network, exposing why some of the "partnerships" are a little unsettling and what brands need to watch out for. And finally, in a lightning round you won't want to miss, the hosts go head-to-head on the most important question in tech right now: is AI a bubble, yes or no?

In this episode of PPC Live: The Podcast, host Anu chats with Greg Finn, co-founder of Cypress North, about the biggest mistakes he's witnessed in PPC and how they became learning opportunities. Greg shares two major f-ups: a Halloween costume company that accidentally set their monthly budget as a daily budget (spending $300K instead of $30K), and his own team's Microsoft Ads import error that sent one client's ads to a completely different advertiser's account.More importantly, Greg reveals how these disasters shaped his management philosophy and company culture, emphasizing transparency, open communication, and treating mistakes as growth opportunities rather than failures.On Mistake Management:Intent matters more than outcome - if someone is trying to do the right thing, the mistake is secondaryTransparency builds trust - own mistakes immediately, provide full documentation, and offer immediate refundsCreate processes after mistakes to prevent repetition, not punishmentOn Company Culture:Foster an environment where employees feel safe reporting mistakes immediatelyFocus on education and growth rather than perfectionTreat team members as teammates, not competitorsOn AI Usage:AI works best as an assistant, not a replacement for human creativityAvoid AI-generated content that looks obviously artificialMaintain authentic brand voice rather than relying on AI for everythingOn Conversions:"All conversions are not created equal" - optimize for sales-qualified leads, not just any conversionSync CRM systems with ad platforms to focus on actual business outcomesQuality over quantity when it comes to lead generationThe episode emphasizes that mistakes are inevitable in PPC, but how you handle them defines your success as both a marketer and a leader00:00 Introduction to PPC Live The Podcast00:50 Guest Introduction: Greg Finn of Cypress North03:01 Greg's Background and Expertise05:33 Discussing $300,000 worth and uploading to the wront account PPC Mistakes19:53 Owning Your Mistakes20:14 The Illusion of Perfection on Social Media21:42 Encouraging Open Communication in the Workplace25:44 The Importance of Team Mentality27:29 Mismanagement of Talent30:32 The Role of AI in Marketing35:03 Conclusion and Final Thoughts and LinkedInBook a coaching call with ⁠⁠⁠⁠Anu⁠⁠PPC Live The Podcast (formerly PPCChat Roundup) features weekly conversations with paid search experts sharing their experiences, challenges, and triumphs in the ever-changing digital marketing landscape.The next ⁠⁠⁠⁠PPC Live event⁠⁠⁠⁠ is on June 26th in Leeds, UKThe next PPC Live London event is July 31stFollow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our ⁠⁠⁠⁠WhatsApp Group⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Founder & Google Ads Lead Generation Expert of Level 28 Media, Michelle Kop. Michelle began by explaining the difference between SEO and PPC advertising. While SEO focuses on ranking a website organically on Google, PPC advertising helps clients appear at the top of organic listings through paid advertising. This strategy allows potential customers to find and contact the business, increasing sales easily. However, it's important to note that PPC advertising can be expensive and competitive, especially in the B2B industry. Michelle emphasized viewing PPC advertising as an investment rather than expecting immediate results. She explained that having a sufficient budget is crucial for success in PPC advertising, as it allows for testing and optimization. One of the critical advantages of PPC advertising over organic tactics like SEO is that it provides faster results. Michelle also highlighted the increasing automation in platforms like Google and Facebook. While automation can be beneficial, she emphasized needing a strategic advisor who understands the platforms and the target audience. Michelle shared valuable insights on running successful PPC campaigns. She emphasized the importance of understanding the target persona and conducting thorough keyword research to reach the desired audience effectively.  She advised against agencies that offer guarantees, as PPC results cannot be guaranteed. Another red flag is when an agency provides a flat price without researching the client's business upfront. Key Points from the Episode: Explanation of how paid advertising helps businesses appear at the top of organic listings on Google Discussion on the importance of viewing paid advertising as an investment and having a sufficient budget for testing and optimization Mention of trends in the pay-per-click world, including increasing automation and the integration of artificial intelligence Emphasis on the importance of relevancy in paid search ads and providing users with the information they are looking for Insights on running successful PPC campaigns, including understanding the target persona and conducting thorough keyword research Mention of the platforms Michelle works with, including Google Search, YouTube, and Microsoft Ads (Bing) Explanation of Michelle's agency and their focus on strategy, optimization, account builds, landing page development, and lead generation marketing campaigns About Michelle Kop: Michelle Kop is an accomplished marketing consultant renowned for her pay-per-click (PPC) strategies expertise. With an impressive eight-year background, she excels in Google and Microsoft Ads, focusing on B2B and B2C lead generation.  Michelle's
