I recently attended a seminar hosted by the owner, Derek Schmidt, who demonstrated how to set up and optimize Google Ad campaigns, and it was an excellent experience! The step-by-step walkthrough was clear, engaging, and super helpful for anyone new to Google Ads or looking to improve their existing campaigns. He covered everything from creating an account, structuring ad groups, choosing the right keywords, to optimizing ads for better performance and ROI. The tips on campaign optimization were especially valuable, providing actionable insights that I can implement immediately.
