@ojasweb.
Can one focus soley on GAds for Digital Products as an Agency?
Or mixed with both Digital and Physical products.
I'm considering Digital Product only as an Agency.
What do you advise?
Is it okay to niche down this way or not?

Thanks.
Well done for all your knowledge shared.

It is actually very okay to niche down and go in all to do the work.

For years i do not accept to manage e-commerce business in Africa and i still don't.

I primarily manage e-commerce for businesses in USA, and CA.

When some challenges that can negatively affect the ads performance are beyond your control, then you better don't put head.

One of my reasons for not managing e-commerce ads in Africa (primarily Nigeria) is due to the POD.

So, it is a good one to niche down.

Awesome!

In 2014, i joined Fiverr to work as a freelance blog post writer, and after some months, i decided to switch to Google ads manager since at the time, Google ads manager are very few on Fiverr.

Within a few days of creating my Google ads gig on Fiverr, i got my first order from someone in Canada.

Luckily enough for me, this person has never used Google ads before at the time, so he doesn't have much expectations.

He wanted to give it a try to know if it will be profitable for him to continue using it.

He proceeded by creating his AdWords account and submitted the details for me to start the work.

I got everything setup within some minutes and the ads started running that same day.

Within a week, the client started seeing some patronage in his physical store in Manitoba, Canada. By the way, he owns a computer repairs business and looking for more patronage.

With the improvement in patronage as reported by the client, i feel much relieved and develop even stronger interest in mastering Google ads.

From beginning, my primary interest in Google ads in data and broader reach across platforms; Google search, YouTube, Gmail, maps, play store, blogs, etc.

As for Facebook, i have used it for my personal businesses, however, they have a way of frustrating and discouraging users.

One thing about Google ads is that you will never lose access to your data and assets should your account gets suspended.

You can always go back to suspended account to see the data and the assets, unrestricted.

Unfortunately, once your account is disabled on Facebook, you lose everything including your money (if you fund manually).

If you are suspended on Google, you can get a refund if you have money in your account.

Except in rare cases, Google won't suspend your ads account and suspend your business page at the same time.

Unfortunately, in most cases Facebook will suspend your ads account and suspend almost everything associated with the ads account.

If you leave your Google ads account inactive for years, the account might be cancelled, but not suspended. And when you login again, you can simply reactivate the account and continue your ads.

Facebook will suspend an account that has not been used for months for no valid reasons.

These are some of my personal reasons.

Thanks for your response. I do Facebook ads, but I noticed that it doesn't produce the expected results. Seems they are just raking ad revenue, without giving advertiser real value.
