Why Your Google Ads Campaign Has Zero Conversions [Inside Google Ads Episode 111]
It's frustrating to watch those Google Ads bills roll in while your campaigns have zero conversions! Whether you're an experienced agency pro or a business owner managing your own account, this is one of the most common Google Ads challenges you'll experience. In episode 111 of the Inside Google Ads podcast, host Jyll Saskin Gales walks you through the exact process she uses with her Google Ads coaching clients to diagnose and solve conversion issues. In this real life example, Jyll figures out why a client's search campaign hadn't seen a single conversion in six weeks. Then, Jyll uncovers the truth behind a suspiciously high view rate in a YouTube campaign. This episode is all about understanding the "why" behind your Google Ads metrics, and learning how to distinguish between green flags and red flags in your account.
Key Topics Discussed:
- The three root causes of zero conversions, and the order in which you should audit and solve them
- How to identify if the Search Partner Network is inflating your metrics with low-quality traffic
- The danger of using click-focused bid strategies like Manual CPC
- Establishing benchmarks for YouTube View-Through Rates (VTR) across In-stream, In-feed, and Shorts.
- What your campaign demographics can reveal about performance fluctuations
