The Google Adwords seminar by Brad Geddes was the most informative and enlightening one I have ever attended. The day flew by and the information gleaned was more than most two-day sessions I have attended.

I attended your “Google Adwords Seminar for Success” sessions in Austin earlier this week. I just wanted to say I really appreciated the content you offered. Your material was well balanced. I was fearful that because my company is not a product-selling company that we would not benefit from your information. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. Your seminar validated to me that the direction we have taken so far is appropriate. It is good to see and hear from an expert that we have made good decisions about our Adwords strategy. Your information and tips have given me new things to think about and to use when looking for new keywords to use, and as well to examine our existing keyword performance.

I flew from Japan just for this seminar, and it was worth every penny. I know there are many people who teach AdWords, but no one is as specific as he is, and he doesn’t mind sharing the information with you. When it comes to AdWords, he is the one to listen.

I think you are going to save me thousands and hopefully one day 100’s of thousands once my campaigns get bigger.

I attended your AdWords seminar a few days ago in Chicago. I just wanted to thank you for the excellence in the material you have provided to me. I really appreciate your passion for internet marketing as I have similar passions. I have loved designing and developing websites since I discovered them when I was 12… The tools that you gave me will now allow me to cause the websites that I work on for clients truly be successful and not just sit on the web doing nothing.
I am also inspired by your story and career. Thank You so much!

The seminar was probably worth far more than 10 times the cost. I was astounded to see how much useful information Brad was able to deliver in one day. My only quasi-negative comment: It might have been too much good information. I’m a little overwhelmed just thinking about where to start with all the positive changes I can now make with our internet marketing.

I attended Brads 301 and 302 google adwords seminar in Toronto this past week and was a little skeptical at first if i would learn anything useful. Well I was quite impressed with his knowledge and actually did learn a lot about adwords and google analytics and how to get to the proper reports that show you how to fine tune your account. I highly recommend the workshop to SEM professional. Brad has a lot of tools and advice that you can don’t find on the standard web sites about how to use adwords.

Thank you, Brad, for a terrific presentation. Right on target, insightful, and full of strategy.

I attended this conference in order to learn the latest Adwords developments, and in this respect, I found it to be most useful. We are using Adwords tools daily, so know more about them than the average user. Still, it is useful from time to time to take a step back and listen to an expert who is obviously plugged into the latest, as well as upcoming, developments.

Brad is an exceptional speaker, offers insightful views about marketing theory, and is a technical master. Aside from that he demonstrates during his presentations a willingness to roll up his sleeves and delve into the nuts and bolts of how to manage Adwords to improve ROAS for clients.

Brad, great job with the seminar. It was taught well and at a good learning pace. You handled the array of questions from simple to hard with great explainations and analogies. I will probably be calling you for some personal phone consultations for my larger ppc clients.
All the best!

I’m an affiliate and this type of training is essential and you guys delivered the best quality in content I’ve even seen about the subject of adwords. I left the seminar feeling more
confident about this interface, but I sure would have been glad to pay extra for access to recorded video sessions.

-Charlie Perez.

I really enjoyed the 2 days of advanced seminars in Chicago. Brad is obviously very educated in the ins and outs of AdWords. My only suggestion is I would have personally benefited from a little more time spent on more advanced AdWord bidding and advertising tactics.

-Bill S.

Very informative for me – I was concerned most of it would go over my head but it was about right. Great presentation and question handling; the Adwords ‘tour’ explained the tools available and led to a number of changes to my ads, keywords and website. Excellent value.

-Matt Nelson

First, I flew down to your conference in Houston not really having any expectations on what I was going to learn in a one day seminar over something that has “paralysis by analysis” written all over it like Adwords. However, I feel afterwards, it was one of the most positive and understandable conferences that I have ever attended.

You did a great job in explaining and relating the information into a plan that even an ‘amateur’ like myself can understand. I have taken a lot of the information and began to implement the ideas into actual measurable results.

I just wanted to send you a note in appreciation for your time and thank you for all the information that you provided. I hopefully will get to goto another seminar in the future.
