The 5 Biggest Challenges for PPC Marketers in 2024
-
Audience targeting in the post-cookie era
The phasing out of third-party cookies and more stringent consent rules is reducing the scope of website data, impacting remarketing efforts and shrinking the size of the audience you can target. These changes highlight the importance of first-party data and urge hoteliers to become more actively involved in data collection and management.
-
Account Optimization and the Rise of Smart Bidding
Advances in Smart Bidding and the introduction of new campaign types like Performance Maximization are changing the landscape of account optimization. These developments require less manual intervention, allowing hotel marketers to focus on broader strategic opportunities. But you'll also need a deeper understanding of feed optimization and Google Merchant Center.
-
Content evolution and the role of AI
The shift from standard text ads to responsive search ads has diluted the amount of custom variations, forcing marketers to embrace AI in content creation. While this saves time, it also challenges the control and originality of advertising creative, making it essential for hoteliers to find a balance between automation and authenticity.
-
Complexity of tracking
As our reliance on accurate conversion data grows, hotel marketers need to become more knowledgeable and proactive about their tracking implementations. The move to GA4 and the adoption of enhanced transitions highlight the need for technical proficiency in navigating the tracking environment.
-
Reporting and Insight Issues
Despite improvements in insight reporting, the introduction of AI capabilities and the potential for hidden data pose new challenges. Hoteliers will need to balance tactical and strategically focused reporting as they rely more on platform reporting and adapt to the new reporting features in GA4.
Why hoteliers should care
These PPC marketing challenges directly impact hoteliers’ ability to reach, engage, and convert potential guests. Adapting to these changes isn't just about maintaining visibility. In a highly competitive environment, it is important to leverage digital marketing more effectively to increase bookings and revenue.
