Episode 451: Why Kasim Spent a Half Million Dollars on Only 15 Keywords

Should marketers consider pairing Google’s “broad match” with Smart Bidding, or is such advice dangerously misleading?

On today’s episode, Ralph and Kasim break down an unbelievably wicked smart case study. Kasim and his team spent $500,000 on 15 keywords without any keyphrase optimization and eventually drove a 300% ROAS. Kasim explains that combining broad match with Smart Bidding made it easier for them to reach more relevant queries and identify new growth opportunities.
