About this listen
In this episode, we break down the various types of customer reviews to leverage in google ads: local reviews, seller ratings, and product ratings.
You’ll learn:
- Why Google My Business reviews aren’t enough for Shopping ads
- The difference between seller ratings (business-wide trust signals) and product ratings (specific item reviews)
- How aggregators like TrustPilot or Stamped.io integrate with Google Ads
- Practical tips for handling bad reviews without resorting to shady tactics
- Why reviews directly affect your conversion rates
Plus, I answer a listeners question on what AI mode means for the future of ad targeting, and I share thoughts on the recent Demand Gen algorithm update — a change that could shift this campaign type from high-funnel awareness to low-funnel conversions.
Whether you’re managing e-commerce or lead gen, this episode will sharpen how you think about social proof, AI, and campaign structure in today’s PPC landscape.
