Most Google Ads campaigns fail because the offer itself is weak, not because of traffic or technical problems. The speaker has generated over $50 million in client revenue through Performance Max campaigns and explains that users compare offers before buying, so a bad offer won't convert no matter how much you spend.
If you have a crap offer, you will not convert. It doesn't matter how much traffic you throw at it, you have a crap offer, you will not convert. Nine times out of 10 on accounts that aren't working correctly, if it's not a technical issue, it's an offer issue. And most of the time it's just your offer isn't clear or your offer is just crap compared to what the competition has. People don't just click and then end up buying right or end up giving you their information. They all go normally through what Google calls the messy, the middle. But they're just checking essentially other offers and checking competitors. Am I getting the best product for the best price? Am I getting the best offer with the best company? They're out there doing the research, they're out there comparing you. And so if your offer is crap, you're just not going to generate conversions. So have that honest conversation with yourself. If you consulted with me and you came to me and said you wanted to run Google Ads and you showed me your offer and I knew your offer was not good, I would tell you, don't waste your money. Figure the offer out first, because you have to have a good offer. If you don't have a good offer, you've got nothing.
