In the restaurant business, there is a saying that goes, “People eat with their eyes first.”. That means that even if the food is cooked perfectly and is delicious, a bad presentation can put someone off before they even try it. Retailers and brands are facing the same challenges.

If we have learned anything during the COVID-19 shutdown it’s that you must work hard to stay in front of customers. Just because your brick and mortar store is closed, it doesn’t mean that you can wait it out. Just the opposite. Now is the time to get in your customers faces and stay there. Here’s how: 1.

While these lists are no doubt helpful, the fact is that up to 75% of brands are still left in the red at the end of their promotional campaigns. For many teams, that’s because no number of best practices will truly make a difference if you still have some of your worst practices in place.

Phrase match is one of the four keyword match types available in Google Ads. It is a way to indicate to Google how closely they should match your keyword with a user’s search query. The quotation marks of phrase match (kind of) limits your search to the words and the word order that you specify. The reason I say kind of is that there have been a lot of changes that have made this match type a little less straightforward.
