talking about your keywords and topics and check if anyone has mentioned 321 322 00:20:47,270 --> 00:20:49,390 your brand or similar rival brands. 322 323 00:20:49,820 --> 00:20:52,950 There are a few ways you can catch the attention of the Reddit user base. 323 324 00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:54,800 The first is blogging. 324 325 00:20:55,250 --> 00:21:00,350 Blogs are popular on the platform, but

posts. 330 331 00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:23,220 Unlike Facebook and other social media platforms on Reddit, text based content is king. 331 332 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:29,060 This is because Reddit is a forum for exchanging ideas and information so fancy graphics won't always 332 333 00:21:29,060 --> 00:21:29,570 impress. 333 334 00:21:30,230 --> 00:21:34,820 You can use Reddit to create text posts

00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,020 and they are usually hosted on the subset at our Sladjana. 339 340 00:21:57,500 --> 00:22:03,920 They can be hosted elsewhere on Reddit to the their tagged with topics like politics or law so users 340 341 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,840 can find the sessions they want to take part in. 341 342 00:22:06,290 --> 00:22:11,420 If you get the chance to do an AMA on Reddit, take it as it's an excellent chance to raise brand awareness 342 343 00:22:11,420 --> 00:22:13,820 and reach out to a large interested audience. 343 344 00:22:14,540 --> 00:22:17,690 You can also make use of news to share news on Reddit. 344 345 00:22:17,690 --> 00:22:20,600 You don't have to have a scoop as long your content is relevant. 345 346 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,700 Try sharing news from niche thought leaders or links to news studies that relate to your brand or products. 346 347 00:22:26,150 --> 00:22:31,130 You can also create news about your products by announcing new features and

00:32:22,210 Don't overload them with too many options. 498 499 00:32:22,330 --> 00:32:27,010 Make sure you give them a way to take your one desired action with a clearly displayed button or page 499 500 00:32:27,010 --> 00:32:27,370 element. 500 501 00:32:28,060 --> 00:32:32,350 And lastly, number ten testimonials work providing they're authentic. 501 502 00:32:32,350 --> 00:32:37,390 So include them on your page, particularly if they're from household names, authority, voices or 502 503 00:32:37,390 --> 00:32:38,080 big brands. 503 504 00:32:38,530 --> 00:32:42,970 Never be tempted to fake testimonials, though, as visitors will be able to tell immediately. 504 505 00:32:45,570 --> 00:32:48,100 In this section, we'll talk about YouTube marketing. 505 506 00:32:48,630 --> 00:32:51,080 First off, we have the title so started. 506 507 00:32:51,090 --> 00:32:57,060 Well, your title is an important part of YouTube optimization and can be the deciding factor when people 507 508 00:32:57,060 --> 00:33:00,600 are deciding to click through or scroll past for optimal results. 508 509 00:33:00,750 --> 00:33:01,320 Go for one. 509 510 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,210 That's between 40 to 50 characters. 510 511 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,820 As research has shown, titles using under 50 characters rank higher in search use emotive headers that 511 512 00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:12,810 have personality and incorporate numbers to shake things up and make your headline stand out. 512 513 00:33:13,260 --> 00:33:19,060 A study conducted by HubSpot found that brackets in parentheses can increase YouTube clicks by 33 percent. 513 514 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,150 So experiment with these in your title too. 514 515 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,960 In the next step, prepare your thumbnail image. 515 516 00:33:24,420 --> 00:33:28,110 You can't just pick any thumbnail image if you want to attract viewers to your video. 516 517 00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:34,560 YouTube uses mostly red, black and white colors, so to stand out you need to select a bogey thumbnail 517 518 00:33:34,740 --> 00:33:37,470 that's composed of blue, orange, green and yellow. 518 519 00:33:38,190 --> 00:33:40,560 The third step involves optimizing your intro. 519 520 00:33:41,250 --> 00:33:46,410 The ideal YouTube intro should be brief and include your targeted keywords high up in the description 520 521 00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:47,370 YouTube. 521 522 00:33:47,370 --> 00:33:52,020 Krall's the first two to three sentences and places more importance on the words and phrases that appear 522 523 00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:53,970 here when it returns search results. 523 524 00:33:54,450 --> 00:33:59,430 Don't be tempted to stuff your intro with keywords, as it also needs to be appealing to read people 524 525 00:33:59,430 --> 00:34:04,410 preview intros before deciding whether to press play in your intro will also display and YouTube search 525 526 00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:04,980 is a snippet. 526 527 00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:08,160 Next thing you need to do is to create a WOW outline. 527 528 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,770 Your YouTube outline is a chance to sell your video and encourage people to watch. 528 529 00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:17,550 Let people know exactly what they'll be getting and don't be afraid to go into a bit of detail. 529 530 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,470 The ideal outline should be one hundred and fifty words plus and should include all the key words you 530 531 00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:22,940 want to hit. 531 532 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,620 Finally, LinkedIn ask for likes. 532 533 00:34:26,340 --> 00:34:30,990 Your description is a great place to include links that push people to your website, blog or other 533 534 00:34:30,990 --> 00:34:31,710 social media. 534 535 00:34:32,190 --> 00:34:33,300 Don't just drop them in. 535 536 00:34:33,420 --> 00:34:36,960 Create a short call to action, reminding people why they should bother to click. 536 537 00:34:37,410 --> 00:34:41,850 You can also use your YouTube description to remind people to subscribe to your channel or give you 537 538 00:34:41,850 --> 00:34:42,270 a like. 538 539 00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,580 Let's talk about video marketing now. 539 540 00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:50,580 Video is the most popular online content medium, with seventy nine percent of consumers saying they 540 541 00:34:50,580 --> 00:34:56,730 prefer to discover products through video rather than through articles or text based ads, with 93 percent 541 542 00:34:56,730 --> 00:35:00,660 of businesses claiming they've gained new customers thanks to social media videos. 542 543 00:35:00,660 --> 00:35:06,600 If you have an online business or need to market products, video marketing skills are a must remember 543 544 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,930 one good video can change everything. 544 545 00:35:09,660 --> 00:35:14,250 Video has viral potential, but you need to spend some time to strategize appealing content. 545 546 00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:19,560 You can show people more in a video than you ever could in a blog, or still image with the bonus that 546 547 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,020 they'll feel more connected to you when you use this format. 547 548 00:35:22,140 --> 00:35:26,880 Just one original well shot and thought out video can reach thousands of potential customers and has 548 549 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,260 the power to turn around a flagging business and you don't need expensive equipment for it. 549 550 00:35:31,980 --> 00:35:37,350 Nowadays, the pixel quality on mobile devices is so good you don't need to own a pro rig to shoot compelling 550 551 00:35:37,350 --> 00:35:43,590 video with powerful film editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, you can create a catchy professional 551 552 00:35:43,590 --> 00:35:45,840 looking video using just your smartphone. 552 553 00:35:46,290 --> 00:35:49,530 You can also create your marketing strategy around your video content. 553 554 00:35:50,250 --> 00:35:55,380 When you're strategizing your marketing approach, try to create your blogs, images and other posts 554 555 00:35:55,380 --> 00:35:56,520 around your video output. 555 556 00:35:56,940 --> 00:36:01,770 If you place the focus on video content above everything else, you'll be maximizing your opportunity 556 557 00:36:01,770 --> 00:36:04,560 to gain customers and future proofing your marketing approach. 557 558 00:36:05,070 --> 00:36:10,350 Video is a great way to get more viewers, likes, followers and subscribers, especially on social. 558 559 00:36:10,770 --> 00:36:15,570 It's easier for people to watch a video than read an article, and you can pack more information into 559 560 00:36:15,570 --> 00:36:17,790 a video than you can into a single still graphic. 560 561 00:36:18,450 --> 00:36:22,200 It is important to tailor your format to suit with video content. 561 562 00:36:22,350 --> 00:36:25,710 One size doesn't fit all, so you need to tailor your approach. 562 563 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,690 If you're creating content for Facebook or Instagram, shorter clips will serve you well. 563 564 00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:36,180 While content for YouTube should be longer and more informative, no matter what platform you create 564 565 00:36:36,180 --> 00:36:38,460 your videos for, you must always add value. 565 566 00:36:38,910 --> 00:36:43,680 You can do this by showing people something new, telling your brand story or teaching viewers how to 566 567 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,410 do something using step by step guides or tutorials. 567 568 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:53,000 We'll be talking about tock marketing in the section, tick tock is growing rapidly and it's a superb 568 569 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,860 way to reel in more custom, particularly if you make short, punchy videos that can get good traction 569 570 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,560 if you want to use tick tock to market your products. 570 571 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:05,300 There are some key things you should bear in mind to create content that will do well on the platform. 571 572 00:37:06,050 --> 00:37:11,300 One advantage of tick tock is that you can reach out to influencers, reach out to a tick tock influencer 572 573 00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:14,660 in your niche and you will be able to tap into an already interested audience. 573 574 00:37:15,140 --> 00:37:20,510 You'll also overcome one of the major hurdles of the customer journey winning customer trust as influencers. 574 575 00:37:20,510 --> 00:37:21,950 Opinions hold a lot of sway. 575 576 00:37:22,430 --> 00:37:27,110 Spend some time developing a relationship before you contact your influencer by commenting on their 576 577 00:37:27,110 --> 00:37:27,980 Tick-Tock content. 577 578 00:37:28,430 --> 00:37:32,510 Don't forget to check their following to make sure it's real and ensure that their audience is engaged 578 579 00:37:32,510 --> 00:37:34,580 in active dating and influencers. 579 580 00:37:34,580 --> 00:37:36,230 Trust will take a little time and effort. 580 581 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:41,240 But if you can get someone popular to endorse your products on tick tock, it can result in a huge explosion 581 582 00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:41,810 of interest. 582 583 00:37:42,530 --> 00:37:44,870 Keep your content short, snappy and fun. 583 584 00:37:45,350 --> 00:37:49,190 Content on tick performs best when it's shorter, upbeat and original. 584 585 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:54,590 If you can create unique content that makes people laugh you asked or intrigued, you'll do well on 585 586 00:37:54,590 --> 00:37:55,330 this platform. 586 587 00:37:55,820 --> 00:38:01,100 The ideal tick tock video should be 60 seconds or less and should use high quality compression, good 587 588 00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:02,570 lighting and clear audio. 588 589 00:38:03,050 --> 00:38:08,000 Tick-Tock videos are ideal for letting viewers peek at the story and people behind your brand, or for 589 590 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,520 running contests or challenges that promote your products. 590 591 00:38:11,270 --> 00:38:16,880 You can also use tick tock ads for your marketing, as well as organic posts you can pay to run ads 591 592 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:17,510 on Tock. 592 593 00:38:17,630 --> 00:38:22,550 But if you're going to spend your budget, make sure you do it wisely to create ads that connect and 593 594 00:38:22,550 --> 00:38:23,030 convert. 594 595 00:38:23,060 --> 00:38:28,010 First, do some research on the type of ads your ideal Tick-Tock customer watches so you can shoot a 595 596 00:38:28,010 --> 00:38:30,920 video that will appeal to them with Tic-Tac ads. 596 597 00:38:30,950 --> 00:38:34,220 It's vital to grab your audience from the start or they'll switch off. 597 598 00:38:34,670 --> 00:38:36,620 Put your most compelling footage early on. 598 599 00:38:36,740 --> 00:38:40,370 Ideally, in the first few seconds your core message can follow. 599 600 00:38:40,370 --> 00:38:43,880 But remember to keep things entertaining even when you're blatantly promoting. 600 601 00:38:44,330 --> 00:38:48,740 Make sure you monitor your ads performance too and run different ads so you can compare them against 601 602 00:38:48,740 --> 00:38:50,210 each other to see what works better. 602 603 00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:54,650 Let's see how you can run email marketing campaigns in this section. 603 604 00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:00,130 Email campaigns are still an invaluable way of optimizing your bottom line as they let you directly 604 605 00:39:00,130 --> 00:39:02,410 promote to an already interested subscriber base. 605 606 00:39:02,890 --> 00:39:07,330 Getting conversions can be tricky, but if you can apply the right approach, email campaigns can be 606 607 00:39:07,330 --> 00:39:09,170 an excellent way of achieving more sales. 607 608 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:15,330 Always remember, don't spam instead add value, never spam subscribers. 608 609 00:39:15,340 --> 00:39:19,660 Remember, they've placed their trust in you by signing up, so you must treat them accordingly. 609 610 00:39:19,790 --> 00:39:24,760 If you want to keep them on your list, make your email campaigns something people look forward to opening 610 611 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:30,850 by giving away handy tips, insider secrets or running exclusive subscriber discounts, giveaways or 611 612 00:39:30,850 --> 00:39:31,540 promotions. 612 613 00:39:31,990 --> 00:39:34,000 Always ask subscribers to engage. 613 614 00:39:34,450 --> 00:39:40,060 You can encourage subscriber interaction by asking for their feedback, posting questions, or encouraging 614 615 00:39:40,060 --> 00:39:45,310 people to give their input on new products, asking for input or feedback as a solid method of retaining 615 616 00:39:45,310 --> 00:39:50,200 subscribers, as it makes people feel like they are having more of a two way relationship with you rather 616 617 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,650 than just receiving your mail outs, strategize your campaigns. 617 618 00:39:54,130 --> 00:39:58,150 Don't send beige, boring campaigns just for the sake of meeting your monthly deadline. 618 619 00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:01,390 Give your mail out some thought by planning out a strategy in advance. 619 620 00:40:01,870 --> 00:40:06,880 Consider all aspects of your market research so you can create emails that will have maximum appeal 620 621 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:07,900 to your subscribers. 621 622 00:40:08,350 --> 00:40:12,520 Keep things

continually improve your campaign's performance. 650 651 00:42:01,730 --> 00:42:07,730 Let's talk SEO or search engine optimization next, start with getting your main keyword in first paragraph. 651 652 00:42:08,450 --> 00:42:12,280 Google places a higher value on keywords that appear higher up in your content. 652 653 00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:17,570 So your most important keywords should be positioned in the first 25 words to optimize your search ranking. 653 654 00:42:18,290 --> 00:42:21,230 Second, it is really important to create unique content. 654 655 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:27,200 If you want to score highly on Google, your content must be unique, as should all your titles, descriptions, 655 656 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,640 meta tags and image. 656 657 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:34,190 All text duplicating content will cause you to appear lower in search, as according to Google to rank. 657 658 00:42:34,190 --> 00:42:36,740 Well, your content needs to be fresh and original. 658 659 00:42:37,490 --> 00:42:39,470 Third step is to optimize your titles. 659 660 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,840 Don't overstuff your headers with keywords. 660 661 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,990 Instead, choose one and use it as early as possible in your title. 661 662 00:42:44,990 --> 00:42:49,880 Instead, your title should be short but compelling with enough appeal to make people want to click 662 663 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:50,240 through. 663 664 00:42:50,690 --> 00:42:54,770 Make sure your copy lives up to the promise of your header so you can maximize your shares. 664 665 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:59,420 As the more people share your work and the more click through you get, the higher you'll rank on Google. 665 666 00:43:00,140 --> 00:43:02,900 It's also very important to create long form content. 666 667 00:43:03,380 --> 00:43:06,200 Google favors long form articles over briefer ones. 667 668 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,340 So far, the best results of your content should be between nineteen hundred to 2000 words. 668 669 00:43:10,790 --> 00:43:15,410 By creating informative dives into topics searchers are looking for, you'll be raising your ranking 669 670 00:43:15,410 --> 00:43:17,570 and ensuring you score higher in search results. 670 671 00:43:18,050 --> 00:43:20,690 Next important step is to always monitor your ranking. 671 672 00:43:21,140 --> 00:43:24,680 A successful strategy is built on the ability to be adaptable. 672 673 00:43:24,830 --> 00:43:29,030 So make use of analytics tools like the Google search console to assess your performance. 673 674 00:43:29,510 --> 00:43:32,720 You can use the search console to see how well your keywords are doing. 674 675 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,810 Check your discoverability and analyze your click through rate. 675 676 00:43:36,470 --> 00:43:38,930 Another subset of SEO is modern SEO. 676 677 00:43:39,650 --> 00:43:45,020 To rank your content, Google uses a system called the expertise, authority and trustworthiness. 677 678 00:43:45,020 --> 00:43:48,350 And the higher your score, the higher you'll appear in search results. 678 679 00:43:48,830 --> 00:43:51,980 The good news is there are some steps you can take to improve your ranking. 679 680 00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:54,890 So you appear on the first page of Google search results. 680 681 00:43:55,610 --> 00:43:58,250 There are three ways to score big with Google's ecosystem. 681 682 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,190 First is by using high authority sources. 682 683 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,630 Google places more priority on content that's attributed to trusted sources. 683 684 00:44:05,660 --> 00:44:10,820 So pay attention to your authors and try to use established experts or people with high scores. 684 685 00:44:11,270 --> 00:44:14,000 Google will check the authority of your content when it returns. 685 686 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,810 Search results and content from authority sources will always appear higher. 686 687 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,450 Second way is to monitor your mentions. 687 688 00:44:20,930 --> 00:44:26,060 Google's algorithm also considers your mentions on other websites so it can assess what people are saying 688 689 00:44:26,060 --> 00:44:28,190 about you and your brand and rank you accordingly. 689 690 00:44:28,310 --> 00:44:32,900 If you've accumulated a lot of negative reviews on trusted sites, this will impact your ranking. 690 691 00:44:33,050 --> 00:44:38,570 But if you can get positive reviews on big sites like Yelp or TripAdvisor or gather a lot of likes on 691 692 00:44:38,570 --> 00:44:41,300 Facebook, you can get a huge search engine advantage. 692 693 00:44:41,750 --> 00:44:43,730 Last method is to use internal linking. 693 694 00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:47,990 Google's system also assesses your internal back links and their relevance. 694 695 00:44:48,140 --> 00:44:53,270 So to boost your score linked to other related pages on your website and use your main keyword in your 695 696 00:44:53,270 --> 00:44:58,790 anchor text back linking to other pages is a great way to give a boost to content that hasn't yet received 696 697 00:44:58,790 --> 00:45:03,950 much attention by giving these pages a better score in search, never link low link authority pages 697 698 00:45:03,950 --> 00:45:05,480 to other low scoring pages. 698 699 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:10,780 Instead, try linking popular older content to newer articles that haven't had the chance to gain traction. 699 700 00:45:11,490 --> 00:45:18,230 Another subset of SEO is technical SEO use tools to check your site's performance as well as tracking 700 701 00:45:18,230 --> 00:45:19,650 your keywords and click Theroux's. 701 702 00:45:19,700 --> 00:45:24,020 You can also use the Google search console to monitor your website's performance and up time. 702 703 00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:29,420 You can also it to check for indexing errors in the coverage tab and also to examine your site's mobile 703 704 00:45:29,420 --> 00:45:31,250 usability through the enhancements tab. 704 705 00:45:31,910 --> 00:45:34,670 Indexing errors prevent Google from crawling your site. 705 706 00:45:34,700 --> 00:45:38,630 So if you find any, fix them fast so people can discover your content. 706 707 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:44,210 It's important to check your site's mobile usability,

because Google Search Index prioritizes mobile devices 709 710 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,690 so you can't rank well if your site isn't optimized to display, load and perform well on tablets and 710 711 00:45:56,690 --> 00:45:57,200 phones. 711 712 00:45:58,310 --> 00:46:03,700 Another important thing is to optimize the loading speed site, loading speed is crucial to Google, 712 713 00:46:03,710

images and display them in a format and size suitable for your 714 715 00:46:13,820 --> 00:46:14,240 layout. 715 716 00:46:14,690 --> 00:46:18,680 Your themes should be lightweight and clutter free rather than templates with many elements. 716 717 00:46:19,130 --> 00:46:24,200 A great way to boost site speed is by using lazy loading, which loads content only as it's needed. 717 718 00:46:24,650

1306 01:23:58,910 --> 01:24:02,660 the same product to different types of people than just running the same generic ad. 1306 1307 01:24:03,380 --> 01:24:08,060 Google has an intuitive system that over time shows you how you can improve your campaigns and ad set 1307 1308 01:24:08,060 --> 01:24:08,300 up. 1308 1309 01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:12,290 You can use machine learning to optimize costs and

01:24:23,810 --> 01:24:25,490 That will generate the highest response. 1313 1314 01:24:26,210 --> 01:24:30,410 To optimize the efficiency of your Google ads, you need to understand three key terms. 1314 1315 01:24:30,890 --> 01:24:32,090 First is broad match. 1315 1316 01:24:32,570 --> 01:24:37,220 This is a keyword option that allows your ad to be displayed whenever someone searches for that keyword 1316 1317 01:24:37,340 --> 01:24:39,860 variations of it or other related topics. 1317 1318 01:24:40,340 --> 01:24:44,480 For example, the broad match keyword bicycle bell will cause your ad to be displayed. 1318 1319 01:24:44,480 --> 01:24:49,820 If someone searches for terms like cycling accessories, blue bicycle helmets and bell reviews for bikes. 1319 1320 01:24:50,300 --> 01:24:55,460 Second key terms phrase match, phrase match allows you to show your ad to customers who search for 1320 1321 01:24:55,460 --> 01:25:00,710 your exact keyword, as well as closely related variants, including with additional words added before 1321 1322 01:25:00,710 --> 01:25:06,520 or after phrase, matches more targeted than broad match, but offers more flexibility than exact match. 1322 1323 01:25:06,530 --> 01:25:11,840 Another key Google Labs term you should become familiar with phrase match gives you more control over 1323 1324 01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:16,400 how closely your keyword must match someone else's search term, allowing you to choose when your ad 1324 1325 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:17,170 will be displayed. 1325 1326 01:25:17,690 --> 01:25:19,400 Third term is exact match. 1326 1327 01:25:19,430 --> 01:25:24,350 Exact match allows you to display your Google ad to people searching for your exact keyword, as well 1327 1328 01:25:24,350 --> 01:25:28,310 as people searching for similar versions of your keywords with exact match. 1328 1329 01:25:28,310 --> 01:25:33,710 Plus, variants include searches for keywords that have the same meaning as exact match keywords, regardless 1329 1330 01:25:33,710 --> 01:25:34,760 of spelling or grammar. 1330 1331 01:25:35,480 --> 01:25:40,310 For example, if you're selling running shoes and someone is searching for running shoes or shoes for 1331 1332 01:25:40,310 --> 01:25:44,330 running, your ad will be displayed both times as they are looking for the same thing. 1332 1333 01:25:44,820 --> 01:25:49,910 Exact match saves you a lot of time, as close variance of exact match keywords help you connect with 1333 1334 01:25:49,910 --> 01:25:51,980 more people who will be interested in your brand. 1334 1335 01:25:52,460 --> 01:25:55,340 This reduces the need to build an extensive list of keywords. 1335 1336 01:25:55,790 --> 01:26:00,590 Exact match gives you a lot of control over who sees your ad, which can result in a higher center. 1336 1337 01:26:01,310 --> 01:26:04,730 Let's talk about Google Merchant Center, also called Google Shopping. 1337 1338 01:26:05,210 --> 01:26:10,010 Google Merchant
