Review
“Half the money spent on advertising is wasted, but no one knows which half.” Mcdonald introduces the book with this quote by John Wanamaker that really encapsulates what everybody reading is probably thinking when they get the book. In Advertising it can be extremely difficult to know which of your marketing efforts are working and which aren’t, and how to make your campaigns get you the return you want. Let’s face it, in an ever-changing market it is impossible to have a perfect advertising strategy that reaches everyone you want it to, convinces them all to convert into leads, and fits within your budget. That’s how I came across this book. When you work with Google Ads it is important to keep yourself educated on all the updated ins, outs, tips, tricks, and inner workings of the platform. I was trying to find some more information about how I could lower costs for my clients while still generating a good flow of leads coming in, and I am lucky I found this book because it had the answers to my questions and more! I give this book ★★★★★. It was engaging, educational, and actually FUN to read. I feel more confident than ever on the Google Ads platform thanks to McDonald’s Google Ads Workbook, and if I’m ever not feeling confident about something, I know I can find the answer to my questions through one of the many amazing resources provided by the author at the end of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn about, or know more about Google Ads – I promise you will NOT be disappointed.
