Ann Arbor companies run A/B tests on product features but let Google Ads run on autopilot with default settings. That double standard costs money. Ad platforms require the same experimental rigor you apply to product development.

Google's automated bidding is a tool, not a strategy. It optimizes for the objective you set — but if the objective is wrong, it optimizes for the wrong thing efficiently. If conversion tracking is misconfigured, it optimizes for bad data. If audiences are too broad, it finds cheap clicks instead of qualified buyers. The automation amplifies whatever you give it, good or bad.

Ann Arbor's tech-savvy companies understand this in product development. You would never ship a feature without proper instrumentation. You would never A/B test without statistical rigor. But ad accounts get handed to agencies who set up campaigns once and let automation "handle it" without the same experimental discipline.
