If your Google Ads aren't performing the way you hoped, this is for you.

We’ve gone through hundreds of accounts, and 90% of them are bleeding cash in the same 5 places.

These are subtle issues that often go unnoticed, but can cause serious damage.

Each one wrecks your campaigns in a different way:

  1. Mislead Google’s AI into targeting the wrong people

  2. Lose “about to buy” customers right before checkout

  3. Waste budget on “relevant” clicks that never convert

  4. Serve ads in countries you don’t even sell to

  5. "Repel" your highest-value customers (Hint: it's not because of your ads, landing pages or products)

We just released a video breaking down all of these 5 problems.

You'll learn how to spot them and how to stop the bleeding.
