How I earned a knowledge panel without a Wikipedia page

Image
Knowledge panels are one of the most coveted, yet mysterious elements in organic search. Brands desire to have their own robust Knowledge Panel entry, but are left with little to no control over what appears in them.  By this point, we should all have a basic understanding of entities within Google’s Knowledge Graph. Consider that required reading for this article. Where does Google pull entity data from? We all know that Google pulls information from their Knowledge Graph for knowledge panels, but where do they pull information for the Knowledge Graph?  Technically, Google can use information from any crawlable website for their Knowledge Graph. However, we most often see Wikipedia as the dominant source of information. The types of websites Google likes to pull from are typically directory-style websites that provide information that is: Accurate. Structured. Consistent. Jason Barnard’s Kalicube has an awesome resource that tracks en...

21 PPC lessons learned in the age of machine learning automation

Image
What you’re about to read is not actually from me. It’s a compilation of PPC-specific lessons learned by those who actually do the work every day in this age of machine learning automation. Before diving in, a few notes: These are “lessons already learned.” Things change (the platforms giveth, taketh, and sometimes just plain change the way campaigns need to be managed). Below are a mix of strategic, tactical, and “mindset-approach” based lessons. Lesson 1: Volume is critical to an automated strategy It’s simple, a machine cannot optimize toward a goal if there isn’t enough data to find patterns. For example, Google Ads may recommend “Maximize Conversions” as a bid strategy, BUT the budget is small (like sub $2,000/mo) and the clicks are expensive. In a case like this, you have to give it a Smart Bid strategy goal capable of collecting data to optimize towards. So a better option might be to consider “Maximize Clicks” or “Search Impression Shar...

Border Design: 8 Tips & Modern Examples

Image
Graphic designers have been using borders for as long as they have been designing things. And they’re a fun element to play with. We’re taking a look at eight border design concepts (most of them you can actually download as project starters), along with tips for usage and some examples that you can try in projects. Sometimes a great border can help separate your design for other elements, such as around the perimeter of an ad. Other times, a border can serve as an element to help break up different parts of a design, or frame messaging or content. While borders are most frequently thought about in terms of print design, they can be a valuable digital design tool as well. A good border defines a space so that users know where a design begins and ends. (Pretty simple, right?) 1. Ink and Tattoo Style A simple lined ink border can create a distinct edge on a project with a bit of a funky flair, especially with ink elements that have a tattoo-style design. This border style...

Responsive Search Ads take center stage – are you prepared?

Image
Responsive Search Ads – RSA for short – are not the new kids on the block. RSAs have been a part of the PPC ecosystem for a few years. That being said, RSAs have been a hot topic in 2022. Why all the hubbub about them now? This summer, the preceding ad type, Expanded Text Ads, is being deprecated. This puts Responsive Search Ads front and center for advertisers as the singular text ad type for search campaigns. Let’s dig in a little bit deeper on RSAs, the change and how you can maximize your potential with RSAs. Why RSAs matter Responsive Search Ads are all about serving the right message at the right time. RSAs are a flexible ad experience that show more customized content to reach your customers. These ads adapt your text ads to closely match what someone is searching for when they search for it. Further, RSAs can help to reduce bulky operations and save time. Advertisers provide up to 15 headlines and up to four descriptions. All of these components can c...
