Have you heard the news?
In case you missed it, let me share something truly exciting with you. According to a PR Newswire release at MarTechSeries.com, Google is launching Google Ads Click Identifier, a tool that will display contact information on all ad visitors.

Holy New Adwords Interface Batman

For those of you that want to dive right in, there are some handy links below to get you up to speed.
The most important thing to know is that at this time you can still roll back to the old interface. Something I’ll be doing since I have so much client work and don’t have the time to trip around in it for now. Look for the three vertical dots at the top right of the interface, then look for the ‘Return to Previous Adwords’ link. More information here https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/7035891?hl=en.
