THE FUTURE IS HERE

🚀 AI-Powered PPC That Actually Performs: Predictive Modeling, ROAS Wins, and What DIY Misses 💰

Episode Overview:
In this Marketing in the Age of AI episode, Emanuel Rose welcomes back Lisa Raehsler (BigClick Co) to unpack the future of paid ads across Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft Ads, YouTube, and more. We dive into predictive performance modeling, smarter bidding, ROAS targets, attribution across long sales cycles, and why DIY PPC can cost more than it saves. Practical strategy, KPIs that matter, and how AI is reshaping campaign setup and optimization.

What You’ll Learn:
– How predictive performance modeling helps platforms identify high-converting audiences before launch
– Setting and stair-stepping ROAS targets (and why you shouldn’t demand “10x on day one”)
– Smarter attribution: tracking multi-touch journeys and long B2B sales cycles
– KPI focus beyond clicks: conversion value, LTV signals, engagement as conversion, CPA
– Why a brand + demand mix (e.g., 60/40) boosts retargeting and lowers acquisition costs
– The hidden cost of DIY PPC—and how expert setup turns AI automation into profit, not waste
