Hi all - yes I really am back on my OG account. My beyondthepaid account has been hacked and I'm currently unable to access it, but was able to get into my old one after years of being locked out. Go figure. Anyway, it's really me.

I've posted about this many times before.
And I still see brands making the same mistake.
Translating your ads is NOT localization.
You can translate every single word correctly and still end up with advertising that doesn't resonate with your target audience.
You can adapt all your US creatives for European markets, but if the rest of the customer experience isn't localized, don't expect the same results.
And even within Europe, what resonates with customers in Germany might not resonate with customers in Italy or France.
Different markets.
Different cultures.
Different buying behaviors.
Different expectations.
Localization goes way beyond your ad creatives.
It's your messaging, positioning, offers, pricing, landing pages, checkout experience, payment methods, customer support, and everything in between.
You can't just translate a winning US funnel and expect it to win everywhere else.
That's not how this works.

Just got a proposal from a Google rep to increase a client's investment by 300% overall and one campaign by 1,900%. Sure buddy, let me open my checkbook... 🤣🤣🤪🤔🙄
