webinar recording - live ppc grader: are you acing or failing?
DESCRIPTION
Cut out what doesn't work and expand what does. It's simple in theory, but can be a lot more complex when it comes time to execute. One potential complication: What, exactly, needs to change? What bids should you double down on, and what campaigns simply aren't working? Optimizing PPC accounts can be tricky, which is why WordStream and Hanapin Marketing hosted a PPC Grader Clinic.TRANSCRIPT
