SEOs and PPCs need to talk more and learn from each other.
For example, did you know you can actually connect Search Console to Google Ads from within the Ads reporting??
No? I didn't either until this week's guest told me about it... learn that, and a ton more in this great conversation.
Navah Hopkins is Microsoft's Ad Liaison, an International Speaker, answer's questions in SEJ's monthly column called Ask The PPC and has been in marketing, PPC and SEO for 17+ years.
This episode was recorded with Riverside which has sped up my podcast process ten fold and why I am now able to publish more episodes again.
