Want to optimize your Google Ads with real, trackable data? John Moran breaks down how to do just that using paid search.

β
Test and Refine: The process of leveraging CRM data to scale ad spend and reduce waste is iterative. Continually test and refine your strategies based on your metrics and findings. Learn from what’s working, cut out what’s not, and always be open to new approaches and improvements.
