It’s essential to remember that automation doesn’t inherently fail—it just executes what it’s programmed to do. The issue arises when Google Ads receives signals that are incomplete, misaligned, or too broad, which can lead to optimization for the wrong outcomes, catching advertisers off guard.
During the second edition of SMX Now, our breakthrough monthly series, Ameet Khabra from Hop Skip Media will dive into a real-life account. She will showcase a scenario where a 417% surge in conversions wasn’t the success it seemed. Through this case study, she’ll explain how automation drift manifests in four critical areas: signal drift, query drift, inventory drift, and creative drift.
You’ll gain a practical framework to identify drift early on, comprehend the importance of human oversight, and manage automation with intent. The goal is to ensure automation aligns with actual business objectives rather than just the successes platforms report.
