Should you allow Google Ads Auto Recommendations Or Not? DEFINITELY NOT as I will explain while I show you How To Turn Off Auto Applied Recommendations In Google Ads!

I recently had to spend an hour undoing the changes made by a Google Rep AND Google Ads Auto Applied Recommendations.

One of my Google Ads coaching clients inside my More Clients Academy mistakenly accepted a call from a Google Rep (despit knowing he shouldn’t speak with them for the reasons I will share).

They told him that they wanted to help.

They adjusted some settings and turned on Google recommendations, so that Google could basically do whatever it wanted to his campaign without him having a say in the matter.

In the 14 days BEFORE Google made the changes, the average cost per click was £2.39.

In the 14 days AFTER Google made the changes, the average cost per click was £3.17.
