One has a bath in our pond and it looks like a miniature Exxon Valdez has breached its hull on the pebbles! 😄

This is the "desire paths" meme of pathways in dog form.
This is my dog.
In the foreground is his bed, neatly pushed away.
Under his head is the sofa cushion, batted into position.
Aaaaand snooze.

Reason #312 why I hate Google Ads and their *insistence* on recommending changes/PMax etc. etc.
See if you can spot when this small client's campaign was switched to 'Maximise conversions' for 24hrs...

Wait... so you're saying #Google talk out of both sides of their mouth at once, depending on if they're in court/shareholder meeting/talking to publishers?
You know what this means... (Fry gif time...)

The lovely John Mueller is on the case it seems.
You may also have an issue in that your new name clashes with these folks: nordkraft.dk/forside.aspx
On a basic search for "Nordcraft" I got the "See more results about..." which shows this. None of which are you (they're all them).

Really Google? Really? On your own frikkin' brand too?
(worst thing is, I don't even think this is an attempted scam... it's just 'PMax' and Google Ads' AI "optimization" gone mad/bad).

Enjoying the irony of all the Yahoo News aggregator's ads being broken on this article about #Google and their $3.5bn fine from the EU for ad-tech anti-trust.
Aw snap! 😄

Still one of my favourite explainers when prospective clients ask:
"Why is x cheaper than you?"
or
"Why wouldn't I just get AI/GPT to do that instead?"
or
"That's great -- but can you do it tomorrow/yesterday?"
You can have 2 of the 3 -- pick any 2 you want -- but you can't have all 3.
