What did you ask your Adwords accountmanager?

[designaweb]

I just got the email where G has appointed me an accountmanager, probably cause I've been spending enough $$$ to get one. I will be on the phone with him sometime next week, and he will advise me on how to optimise my Adwords account. I am not an expert on the Adwords subject, so most likely he will be able to make worthwile suggestions.

Now, what I was wondering, what would/did *you* ask you accountmanager?

I don't remember ours ever telling us anything worth knowing. They typically have a pretty basic knowledge themselves.

best, a.

Out of interest, would you mind sharing very approximate ballpark figure for what you're spending to qualify? Everyone seems to have a different answer...

[designaweb]

Sure, early 5 figure monthly spendings...

[QualityNonsense]

Interesting, as I know people in the UK spending more who still don't have an account manager. Yet another Google secret sauce decision! Perhaps certain industries get priority etc.

I only had a four figure income when I got one. Based in the UK. Perhaps it is based on the size of the account - ie number of keywords you are bidding on, number of adgroups etc as opposed to earnings.

I would think earnings come into it... Google is hardly likely to reward anyone with accounts filled with useless reams of keywords that never make money for them...

I'd ask if Larry Page and Sergey Brin were single.

Google is starting to drive me nuts!

Account manager has sent two emails basically saying Adwords isn't right for you - move on. (after about 4 years, $500K & a frig)

Now I get email saying they are reorganizing account managers. I now have THREE account managers and they are really interested in talking to me to see how they can help me expand my account, etc, etc.

What the f?

I'm afraid what I'll say if they call.
