My opinion on performance max is to take this money. I don't care what happens now. The funniest thing is sometimes you can't use these in certain campaigns. So these bidding strategies are, are good for awareness or placement where they're not good if it was cause the maximum $15 cost per view. Imagine if you have good brandable videos, for example, and you want to go to the mass. You can use target CPM, cuz it's gonna bring down to your cost. I would not run these type of campaigns where it's just audience based or it gonna cost me 15 bucks to interview. Super crazy. Ridiculous expensive. So there's two other bidding strategies. I wanna talk about, which is target CPM, target cost per Millie and target CP cost per view. Now the funniest thing is sometimes you can't use these in certain campaigns. What I mean by that is if you were to use, create a new campaign. And you said, Hey, I want leads. And I wanna use them for, well, excuse I'll say like sales and it's purchases here or leads, whatever, conversion strategy you're using this time here, we'll sort of lock you in to a true view for action. Which means that it's only gonna use conversion based bidding strategies, maximize conversions and maximize conversion value of target CPA, target rows, etcetera. So if you are focusing on a campaign type that says leads or sales, what you'll notice is if I say video, okay, I'm only gonna use conversions. I cannot use target costs for view or target cost per Billy. I'm stuck with a conversion based bidding strategy. So choosing a different goal. For example, I've said, okay, I have a new campaign and I'm gonna create a campaign without a goal's guidance. And I wanna use video now. I have different options. Now I can create a custom video campaign. Well, that's cool. Cuz why with a custom video campaign, now I can have a maximum CCP or a target cost per milli. And with a maximum CCP you could set a target cost. So what's cool about this is now you're and not this one here, but in a different version of this, you can set a target cost per acquisition and a target in a viewable cost per Billy. So what's interesting about this is there's more bidding strategies, depending upon the campaign selections that you use. So a maximum cost per view. Is a aggressive fitting strategy. It's not a restrictive fitting strategy. This is actually focusing on getting the most amount of views because you're actually maximizing the cost you by saying, Hey, I want this thing to be out other competitors in this space. So for example, if you're wanna go on food networks, YouTube. that's a very expensive channel. There's people that are very specific that are trying to advertise food related product. To people that go to food networks, YouTube channel and food networks, YouTube channel with millions of subscribers and they run ads on their YouTube channel. That's how they monetize that channel. Well, I have two options I can say, well, I'd like to have a maximize cost per view, so I'll pay and I've had actually had this happen. I've had a $15 cost per view on food network. I'm using that as example, cause I've done it. It was horrible cause the maximum $15 cost per view, imagine that I have one YouTube video viewing not clicking was $15 because I was targeting a video on, food networks, YouTube channel food network had a hot sauce video and it was something about like hearing the best hot sauce. And so it was like, This is a hot sauce company. And so I'll say that again so we can blur out there was a so we can, we can use their training. So food network had a hot sauce video on their YouTube channel that I wanted to place that on for a company that we have that sells hot sauce. And so I took the hot sauce companies video, and I placed it on that video on food network. And it cost me 15 bucks to interview. Super crazy, ridiculous, expensive. Why? Because other people were also trying to be a ad on that YouTubes or on that YouTube channel, which is food networks on that video that I was also trying to be on. If I used targeted cost per milli, I probably wouldn't even have run unless I set my target cost per Millie to. 15,000 I would've to pay for that. The cost of a thousand people to view would be so high that it would be more than my maximum CCPD. So when we're talking about the maximum cost for you, you get to set how much you are willing to spend on a view. And sometimes you have to increase that in order to gain viewer. In that viewership, you are very specific. I would not run these type of campaigns where it's just audience based like, Hey, people who are just hot sauce, I wouldn't necessarily use maximum C P I will get good. Viewership, but it's gonna be very expensive. Target cost per Milly might be a better option if I'm not gonna go after a specific placement I'm going after an audience or a user's intent. Whether it might be DSK, like people that have a, content related targeting capability that I could choose with their based on, are they viewing or typing in that keyword? So these bidding strategies are, good for awareness or placement where they're not good is conversions. And skillability broadly to masses of people that might be Countrywide. So they're good for specificity and this area of this child or this geography, I need to get the most, my impressions for this specific action. I'm trying to take, regardless of what happens. If you have good brandable videos, for example, and you want to go to the masses, you can use target CPM, cuz it's gonna bring down your cost. It's gonna be less aggressive and it'll be probably less conversion focused because now you're just trying to get like, it's a billboard like, Hey, I know there's traffic here and I'm just gonna place it there. And I wanna be as little as monthly cost as possible to impress all that traffic here because my Billboard's there. My opinion, I've seen better performance on still mass videos. But with an automated bidding strategy, focus for conversions maximize conversion value. The reason why is you have sometimes the need to gain new customers and have a cost per acquired customer or a cost per acquisition. That is a bit more controllable, but also a little bit more. Audience focused. This is not a glitch. I'm interrupting because I need to remind you that I'm always looking for people to join our team.

If you have questions, comments, concerns, or confessions hit me below in the comments and now back to your regularly scheduled program. So for example, if I'm running like target CPM or maximum CP, these are manual. These are regardless if that person's even interested or not, what are you willing to pay to put it for that person? If you're using a video strategy though, and you wanna use maximize conversions, it's gonna say, okay, there was potentially a million people that could see this video, but I'm only gonna show it to 200,000. Cuz these 200,000 people have the highest chance of actually converting. I like that better. As an agency we're judged on CAC, LTB or CAC for LTB Roaz CPA. We're focused on performance. That's who we are. We're a performance based company. So when you're talking about performance, if you're using a conversion based bidding strategy, even for mass marketing, like for videos on YouTube, you can actually get a better result. I'll give you an example. This is a company that is, we're doing mass marketing videos. So no placement targeting, it's just targeting to people. There is a little bit of placement targeting, but it's targeted mostly to people that have an interest in the product type that we're selling. And inside of here, what we could see is that in the last seven days, we've spent $7,000 on top of funnel YouTube with using, I think it's maximized conversions is the big strategy that we're using here. It's a, it's a conversion based bidding strategy and we're getting. 47% more this week, new first time revenue at a row as of 0.65. And we have then 682 people that have converted to are returning at a 0.1. So when you look at am I actually getting new customers at the top of the funnel at a good CPE, good CPA. Yeah. I'm getting $94 for a brand new customer to this client on a YouTube mass marketing video using automated bidding. Why is this important? Well, if I wasn't focusing on conversions, would I have gotten this here? Probably not. No, the campaign's not gonna optimize towards the conversions. It's gonna optimize for paying the least amount of money to anybody, whether they were interested or not. There is a lot chatter around, Hey, use CPM bidding or use C P bidding. Yes, that is true. That will be cheaper cost per. Maximize conversions cost review is usually two to three times higher than if you were using target CPM video, which is I only wanna pay 20 bucks for every thousand people that watch this video. The bad part is the 20 bucks you spent on a thousand people to see that video two might have been interested and it, since not care, it's gonna keep doing that. So it's not gonna optimize to do better conversion when you're optimizing tours is viewership. Just mass marketing. There's a time and place for that. Don't let it be your default. Unless a client agrees, take this money. I don't care what happens, which usually doesn't happen very much. so I still like automated bidding strategies for mass marketing, because at the end of the day, they're gonna say cool. What happened? Even if you're working inside of a business, your boss might come in and say, what did how'd that video perform? And if you say it cost me 20 bucks, you're gonna say, cool. How did it perform? What did it get us? you say a million impressions or 25 sales, there's gonna be a difference there. That's the goal. So using these bidding strategies are good, but they are not. In my opinion, as good as a automated big strategy, unless you have a specific tactical reason for paying too much to be in a specific area, to a person like a place on a YouTube channel or YouTube video. I think that's all that I wanted to cover for bidding strategies. And how they kind of equate to actually I guess I'll leave one, one last final note because I know PAX is something that's extremely important. My opinion on performance max is target cost for acquisition targeted. Target return on I spend do not perform as well as a daily ad spend control, leaving it run wide. It, it usually just doesn't I'm still getting on my pillow case campaign in the last 30 days, 192% return. And there's a hundred thousand dollars in conversion value here on 50 K and spend letting it run wide open on maximize conversion value, which typically defaults to trying to spend 150% return on that spent. Also one of the, side notes, we'll cover this in a different topic, but there's a reason why this 7,000 here is worth much more than 0.65. And that's where we're gonna talk about another time period of CAC versus row as the client goal and how you look at everything to see how it's performing to give you a little teaser of that. My brand campaign, after we started YouTube top of funnel and try to spend $5,000 a day. This is I've been trying to spend $5,000 a day from. We hit up here that we, this is a sale and it's been kind of ever growing at 5,000. We actually had another sale yesterday at 3,700, but my increase in my brand has been steadily increasing over time after running YouTube, top of funnel and discovery top of funnel, both at a thousand dollars a day. And this return here has been been fantastic. If we look at the, like the last 30 days compared to the previous 30 days, You notice that my spend has gone up a lot in my brand campaign, went from 33 to 66, but my return went from 1 52 to 2 21. So I spend 33,000 more to get 70,000 more. So my ROAS is still, good. And it's growing. But that is because we are actually able to spend more on top of funnel, that's gonna be another class that we're gonna talk about how to look at everything, but it's kind of a cool, cool topic to discuss, but that bidding strategy is helping. Why, because I'm focused on the bottom of the funnel as much as possible in my outbound campaigns that is returning in my brand campaign. So that's the reason why you use conversion based bidding strategies more often than manual, or talk about outbound campaigns, because at the end of the day, you're gonna need to measure what happened. And that's the reason why I like those bidding strategies better end of class.
