I sat down with Collin Slattery, founder of Taikun Digital. He has helped scale brands from scrappy startups to multi-million revenue machines using Google Ads. We had real talk about Google Ads and how to ensure your spend actually drives incremental revenue not vanity metrics.

We dig into what actually moves the needle in Google Ads today, including:

  • Why Google brand is NOT bringing incremental revenue - 90% of the time
  • How incrementality testing can reveal what’s really driving sales
  • What most brands get wrong about Google Shopping
  • Why Performance Max isn’t the growth engine you think it is
  • How to use scripts to cut ad waste and scale efficiently
  • Tools like Triple Whale and NorthBeam that give you an edge in attribution
