Historically, Google advertisers haven’t liked funnels—for a lot of reasons. But is that about to drastically change? 
On today’s bite-sized episode, host Kasim Aslam is talking about his favorite topic (cue the sarcasm): funnels. Funnels haven’t functioned well traditionally in the Google ecosystem, so he hasn’t had much use for them. Until Google Performance Max.
