In other words: “AI will take your job”… so what our jobs look like in the future of PPC?

In today's AI-powered PPC world, staying ahead is more important than ever. With AI simplifying campaign creation, it's getting crowded out there! Let's dive into how AI has changed our jobs and how we can use it to boost our lead generation game and truly shine 🤩

Today’s Age of AI in PPC & Its Consequences

AI is a trending subject globally, and it's also reshaping our (very) dynamic PPC industry.

Because of AI, Google now controls:

1.Our creatives (images & videos)

When we run Performance Max or Demand Gen campaigns, we can generate images during the ad creation process. Just a simple prompt needed! (This is also of course feasible with Midjourney).

2. Our keywords & ads

When we create a new search campaign, all we have to do is input a landing page and Google Ads can automatically generate keywords, headlines and descriptions based on our website.

3. Our targeting

4. Our bids

It’s now easier than even to create entire leadgen campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and ads with a simple prompt or thanks to simplified solutions such as Performance Max or Demand Gen. Anyone get set up a campaign now within minutes.

As a result:

  • The barrier to entry is lower than ever.
  • Many paid accounts will have comparable setups.

AI is going to decrease the overall level of average Google Ads Specialists…giving us a chance to stand out! 🌟 Indeed, average Google Ads specialists (of course, not our case here at Dolead) will rely too much on GenAI, which may produce low-quality creatives and copy.

Our Value as Paid Media Specialists Has Changed

With AI and all these automations, our value as a Google Ads Specialists has changed - spending less & less time on the platform but more outside Google Ads, focusing on the strategy and helping our clients get to the next level.

It’s now more important than ever:

  • 🎯 To deeply master paid media channels (conversion tracking, goals & KPIs, campaign structures, targeting, creatives, bids & budgets and landing pages).
  • 🤝 To become real business partner with our clients
  • 🚀 To future proof ourselves by mastering additional channels (not Google Ads only) or skills (e.g. CRO specialist) and using additional AI tools.

“AI will not take your job, but humans using AI will.” — Mike Rhodes, PPC expert.
