Not every PPC problem requires a monthly retainer

Sometimes Every Account Just Needs a PPC Brainstorming Session

Maybe you don't need a whole new PPC team, heck, you like your PPC person...
...but there are some questions you have unanswered...
...or you just want a second opinion about the dip over the past 90 days...
...or you want to see if your account is missing anything...
...or you want the benefit of seeing what an agency has seen work (or not work) across multiple accounts...

So maybe it's time for a second glance of deep dive with one of our:
✅ extensive, detailed account audits
✅ hourly consulting help, month after to month
‍
With ZATO consulting help, You're not just hiring some random intern getting generic answers from AI. Each of our small consulting team has over a decade of PPC expertise (EACH)... AND we also approach this as a team. You get multiple ZATO team members on the call and in answering your questions.
‍
We banter, we brainstorm.

We're not cheap, but we do know PPC!

Why not just get a course?

“ZATO gave us the best SEM/SHOP audit we’ve gotten from any outside firm. It was insightful, thorough, actionable, and delivered in a clear professional way. We were able to implement their recommendations within months and saw significant improvements.” - Connor MacDonald, CMO at The Ridge
‍

What we don't do:

☑️ We're not interns or newbs. Each of the team consulting on your project has over a decade of experience, JUST IN PPC.
☑️ We're not solo freelancers. You get a TEAM of multiple PPC experts to think through your problem (that's why we're priced where we are)
☑️ We're not here to tell you how to run your business (we're not financial/merchandising/PR strategists! We know PPC...).
☑️ We're not a fractional CMO to set your strategic direction. We intake your strategy to determine how to better manage PPC.
☑️ We're not here to make up stuff about your account. If we don't know, we tell you we don't know (that's valuable in itself, since some unsolvable problems should be ignored rather than obsessively pursued. Sometimes you need a consultant to tell you what to ignore!).

What we do:

How should you switch to Performance Max campaigns in this account?
What are ideas for testing a new Product Title for your top products?
What are some things you should think through before switching this campaign from manual bidding to TROAS?
What are some brainstorming ideas for expanding your reach into more upper funnel searches?
Why did your product feed drop when everything seems to be connected correctly in Shopify?

These are just ideas of the types of questions you might just want a second opinion on, and we're here to help.
‍
‍Our consulting and training services are geared towards the in-house team who wants a second opinion, another set of eyes on the account, someone who's been there before on this test, or might have some good thoughts of things to try or avoid.Think of us as a team who spends our days immersed in Google Ads, in multiple accounts, who can help you think through specific account-related PPC questions or conundrums.

Why not just buy a PPC course?

PPC Courses play an important role in PPC training, but they have limitations. Specifically,

A PPC Course needs to be constantly updated for the rapid-based nature of Platform changes, and this rarely happens.
A PPC Course excels at general knowledge, but what about your ultra-specific PPC question?

One of the things I noticed when I first started my Shopping Ads course on Udemy, was that 95% of the questions were very specific use cases. Learning general things about how PPC works is really important for a student, but a practitioner of a current account needs specific help NOW in order to stop losing money.

That's where having a team you can call on the phone to get a specific answer is so incredibly valuable.

ZATO is happy to now offer hourly PPC consulting, PPC training, and just general hourly, whatever-you-need-PPC work, along with our traditional managed-services option (on the other hand, learn more about ZATO actively managing your PPC account here).
