Why Take This Course?
Google Ads has changed more in the past three years than in the previous fifteen. Artificial intelligence now automates bidding, targeting, audience selection, creative optimization, and campaign delivery. Performance Max campaigns are powerful, but many marketers feel they have less visibility and control over why campaigns succeed or fail.
The question is no longer ‘How do I manage Google Ads?’ It is ‘How do I manage Google’s AI?’
In this practical two-module live bootcamp, you’ll learn where Google’s automation creates value, where human judgment still matters, and how to improve campaign performance without simply accepting every platform recommendation. You’ll discover how to diagnose wasted spend, strengthen conversion tracking, improve creative assets, evaluate Performance Max campaigns, and use AI as a productivity tool while maintaining strategic control over your advertising investment.
Whether you manage Google Ads in-house, work with an agency, or oversee paid media as part of a broader marketing role, you will leave with practical frameworks, repeatable workflows, and immediately applicable techniques for improving campaign performance in today’s AI-driven advertising environment.
