Sample interview questions
I would first validate conversion tracking and review the conversion quality and value. Then I would segment performance by campaign, query, audience, device, geography, and time period to identify inefficient spend. I would adjust bids, add negatives, refine targeting, and prioritize higher-margin or higher-LTV conversion segments while testing changes incrementally.
I use Google Analytics to understand post-click behavior, including engagement, landing-page performance, conversion paths, and differences by channel or audience. I compare this with platform metrics to identify gaps between click performance and business outcomes. This helps me recommend landing-page, audience, keyword, and attribution-informed optimizations rather than making decisions from ad-platform data alone.
I assess urgency through business impact, spend level, performance risk, and client commitments. I address tracking failures, overspend risks, and major performance declines first, communicate expected timelines early, and maintain a structured task list for strategic work. I also document decisions so stakeholders understand trade-offs and next steps.
I begin with the client’s business model, margin targets, audience, historical performance, and measurement setup. I then build a keyword and competitor landscape, define campaign structure, bidding approach, budget allocation, ad messaging, landing-page requirements, and test plan. After launch, I establish reporting cadence and optimize against agreed KPIs such as qualified leads, CPA, revenue, or ROAS.
For example, I might test value-focused versus urgency-focused responsive search ad messaging for a high-intent nonbrand campaign. I would keep targeting, budget, and landing page consistent, define success metrics such as qualified conversion rate and CPA, and run the test until sufficient data is collected. If results are statistically and commercially meaningful, I would apply the winning approach and plan a follow-up test.
