After 7 years, our dream has finally come true 😍🇦🇺🐨

Since 2019, my girlfriend and I have been talking about visiting Australia.

At our old agency jobs, we almost went into an exchange program so that we could work for the same agency but in Sydney.

But then COVID hit and all our plans changed.

We both quit our agency job to start freelancing, and I launched PPC Mastery 2 years later.

Since then, we’ve travelled quite a bit, and Australia kept popping up on our dream list… But the timing just wasnt there:

First we bought a house…

Then we got a baby…

But after a while we thought: now’s the time!

Before she has to go to school (5 years old), we have all the time to do what we want. So we can’t waste these years.

That’s why we decided to go for it, and here we are in sunny Melbourne! 🦘

It’s not easy traveling around the world with a 10-month old, but at the same time it’s easier than expected.

The jetlag is tough with a baby, and we aren’t as free to do what we want like in the old baby-less days… 

But it’s so much fun…

Core memories in the making!

So dream big. Then do everything you can to make those dreams come true.

Tomorrow is never promised, so make the most out of it today.

That’s what we’ll do here in Australia — it’s been fantastic already.

PS… we’re going bowling Friday afternoon with a bunch of PPCers in Melbourne. If you wanna join, just leave a comment or DM me so I can send you the details!

We have started to release Google Ads SOPs in The PPC Hub, super exciting!!

As part of our new Google Ads Scaling OS system, we’re releasing ready-to-use playbooks and SOPs to help our members drive better results, faster.

We already have almost everything covered in our +85-hour curriculum, so we decided it’s not time for another course… 

But it’s time for systems, playbooks, and SOPs to put the frameworks from the courses into action.

First things dropped:

- Playbook: Improve Quality Score
- SOP: write high-converting RSAs
- SOP: craft irresistible offers

(The Quality Score playbook contains multiple SOPs for Ad Relevance, Expected CTR, and Landing Page Experience with a custom script)

And MUCH more is in the making.

For The PPC Hub, 2026 is all about speed of implementation: how can we help our members IMPLEMENT and drive results faster.

All of this is part of a bigger play in our Google Ads Scaling OS.

Just wait till it’s finished — everyone needs this system and can benefit from it.

Ill keep you posted about more developments!

And PS… enrollment has just reopened again :)

Let me know what SOP we should create next!

graphical user interface, text, application, email

I've been going deeper into AI Agents lately and O M G my mind is blown.

This is absolutely the future of Google Ads.

I don't know the exact timeline but I believe that in 18-24 months every specialist will use an army of agents for most of the execution work...

And the competitive edge comes from whoever instructs the agents the best with AI-ready SOPs + knowledge & reference docs.

(Combined with the ability of critical strategic thinking ofc)

It's so much fun and I recommend everyone to dive in, the majority is not using agents yet, so taking action now can really give you a big advantage.

Do you share the same sentiment? What's your stance on AI Agents in general? (I used to think they were overrated but I completely changed my mind)

The future of PPC management:

1 specialist, an army of agents.

It’s crazy how much more you can get down now in much less time.

But it will only work if the agents have a solid operating system with AI-ready SOPs.

That’s what we’re building right now for The PPC Hub and I can’t wait to show you what we already have soon!

It’s absolutely INSANE.

Stay tuned 💪🏾 

PS: I don’t believe in the “AI will take your job” stuff, it’s overused. However, I do believe that we are still very early and the  specialists that act first will have a HUGE advantage (already seeing it with the early adopters).

PS2: in the Age of AI, I think your edge comes from structured knowledge docs and the skill of critical strategic thinking. 

What do you think is edge in an AI-first world?

New year, but one thing hasn’t changed: I still see so many shiny objects online.

“New ways to make money in 2026”

“Use this strategy to blow up your Google Ads results in 2026”

Guys and gals, ain’t nothin’ changed!

Just stick to the fundamentals and you’ll be good this year.

Don’t overcomplicate it :)

People often ask me whether I prefer ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for Google Ads work. Here's my take:

(I'm not gonna cop out and say "it depends" this time ;)

The thing is... The AI tools change soooo fast.

A few months ago, ChatGPT was my preferred LLM.

Then I tried Claude, and it beat ChatGPT on almost every level.

And then Gemini 3 came out and crushed them both.

But then for some reason, I was using Gemini for a while, and its quality started to drop. 

So I retried Claude. And now I'm in love again haha.

But here's what I do most of the time: I run the same prompt in each of the 3 tools... And then I check which output I like the most and go for that tool (which is mostly Claude right now, but this can change every day).

But there's always AT LEAST 1 golden nugget in ChatGPT or Gemini's response that I didn't get with Claude, so I add it.

But don't get it twisted: I'm a total noob with AI. I just like to F*ck Around & Find Out — and using all 3 tools at the same time is my way of FAFO-ing at the moment.

The true AI maxis might call me crazy.

And other people will say I'm stupid for paying for all tools.

But this works for me, and it might just work for you too.

Do you use all 3 AI tools like me, or am I crazy? Let me know in the comments if there's a better way!

Lately, I've seen a lot of people brag about getting a high ROAS:

- "We hit 700% ROAS!"
- “We helped a client get 12x ROAS!"

Nice results... But what does that actually tell you?

Without context, absolutely nothing.

Unfortunately, too many clients and Google Ads Specialists still think a higher ROAS always equals better results.

A high ROAS may look impressive, but without digging into margins, CAC, and volume...

It doesn’t say much.

You can have a high ROAS, but still be unprofitable.

I created a deep-dive that breaks down by ROAS can be misleading — and 7 metrics to use instead that actually move the needle for real business results.

7 years of Google Ads experience in 12 high-impact lessons:

1. The fundamentals are the key to success.
2. Fundamental does not necessarily mean beginner.
3. Shiny Object Syndrome is your biggest enemy.
4. Looking beyond Google Ads has the biggest impact on results.
5. The future of PPC belongs to T-Shaped Google Ads Specialists.
6. Google Ads can’t scale a broken offer.
7. Striking a balance between consolidation and segmentation is key to success.
8. You MUST set boundaries when working with clients.
9. Conversion tracking is the absolute foundation for success with Google Ads.
10. In the beginning, new features suck. But they always become better.
11. Automation isn’t your enemy, it’s simply a means to an end.
12. I mastered Google Ads faster by specializing early on (in Ecom).

It's too much to explain in this short post — so I created a deep-dive with complete context for every lesson.

Last note: what's the biggest lesson you learned that had the highest impact on your career as a PPC Expert?

We've been dropping new SOPs in The PPC Hub — and the best part is that they are AI-ready.

We are in the Age of AI, and agentic optimizations can save you a lot of time.

But the problem is that most AI agents SUCK because the input is bad or generic.

So we're building the PPC Mastery Brain, which our members can use to create or enhance their own AI Agents or LLM models.

So far, we have built SOPs for:

- Writing compelling RSAs
- Crafting irresistible offer angles
- Setting up Dynamic Ad Customizers
- Restructuring ad groups (consolidation)
- Setting up Keyword-level Ad Customizers
- Improving all 3 components of Quality Score

And maaaaany more are coming soon.

It's all part of a bigger play that we call the Google Ads Scaling OS.

It's not a course, but an AI-ready system that helps you find the #1 constraint that's stopping you from scaling your Google Ads campaigns — and fix it with playbooks and SOPs.

The PPC Hub 3.0 is gonna be insane with the perfect trifecta of:

- Knowledge (so you know what drives results)
- Skills (so you can actually do what's needed)
- Systems (so you can execute faster)

Combine those things and you'll become a superhuman Google Ads Specialist on steroids 💪🏾 (love this framing by Bob).

It's just fascinating what's possible if you program your AI systems with the right knowledge docs.

Expect big news soon — "build in public" is coming back!

I'm curious... Do you use AI (agents) for your Google Ads optimizations at all, or not?

14 key traits of Elite PPC Experts:

After coaching thousands of Google Ads Specialists in our programs, I realized the top 1% do things differently.

I identified 14 key traits that separates the best from the rest.

Here they are:

1. Takes extreme ownership.
2. Looks beyond platform data.
3. Takes control of landing pages.
4. Knows testing is the way to go.
5. Challenges him/herself all the time.
6. Invests in him/herself to grow.
7. Doesn’t wait, but creates opportunities.
8. Is resourceful (“I don’t know, but I’ll find out”).
9. Is curious and eager to learn.
10. Communicates frequently & proactively.
11. Is obsessed with results & never satisfied.
12. Always thinks “what else can I do?”.
13. Prioritizes deep mastery over shortcuts.
14. Knows going together takes you further.

I created a deep-dive with my thoughts on these traits, so you can work on developing them for yourself.

And in doing so, you become part of the top 1% specialists worldwide.

(Allowing you to get better results, faster, and serve more clients at a higher level)
