GOOGLE ADWORDS ACES
OVERVIEW
Google Adwords is a complex application that is not always easy to articulate. Calling an AdWords expert for every small question felt daunting. There were currently very limited places to find answers like YouTube but no dedicated channel or look and feel for it. There was a need to have one centralized place to go to for answers.
To alleviate customer frustration, a centralized AdWords microsite was created.
I created a neighborhood friend, a Googler who is an "AdWords Ace." They are intelligent, articulate and welcoming. They can answer any question you may have around AdWords. Then, no matter where you are in your users experience, your AdWords Ace is there for you. Your assigned Ace could then be right in your back pocket, and being seen throughout the customers journey. There in helpful places such as; Real-Time Chats, YouTube channels, personalized emails, social platforms and text notifications for real-time performance tips. Now small businesses can get to the root of their SEO questions more quickly, and go back to running their business.
