Not every slow month means failure. And not every Google Ads account deserves endless optimization.

In this episode, we break down how to tell the difference between a campaign that needs more time, better data, or a strategic reset versus one that’s simply not a good fit for your business.

We’ll cover the most common reasons advertisers feel stuck, including poor lead quality, rising costs, automation pitfalls, and unrealistic timelines. You’ll learn what signals matter, which red flags are real, and when it makes sense to pause, pivot, or walk away entirely.

This episode is not about quitting too early or pushing through blindly. It’s about making clear, informed decisions with your budget and expectations.

In this episode, we break down what “AI guidance” really means, where it genuinely helps, and where it can quietly hurt performance. If you are currently using ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, or any other large language model to guide you with decisionmaking for a successful Google Ads campaign, this episode is a must-listen.

We’ll talk about incentive misalignment, lead quality blind spots, and why AI is excellent at certain things but unreliable at others.

If you’re running Google Ads and feeling pressure to “trust the AI” this episode will help you decide what deserves automation and what still needs a human in the loop.

In this short intro episode, I share who I am, why I started this podcast, and what you can expect from future episodes.
