Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a campaign optimization you made that clearly improved results. How did you know it was your change that worked?
What they are checking: Whether they think about cause and effect and testing, not just reporting a number that went up.
Tell me about a report you prepared for someone who was not a marketer. How did you make it useful to them?
What they are checking: Whether they can turn campaign data into clear takeaways the business can act on.
How do you keep up with changes in Google's ad programs, and how have you tested a new feature?
What they are checking: Whether they keep learning in a fast-changing platform and test new tactics carefully instead of adopting them blindly.
What would you do
These campaigns support corporate-sponsored businesses and charities, not just core product lines. How would your approach change for those?
What they are checking: Whether they adjust goals and measures to fit each business unit instead of using one playbook for everything.
Cost per click on a key term doubles overnight. What do you look at, and what do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they investigate competition, quality and settings calmly before reacting with budget changes.
Several business units want more budget than you have. How would you decide where it goes?
What they are checking: Whether they can make and explain budget tradeoffs using performance data instead of politics.
About the work
Walk me through how you would audit a Google Ads search campaign that is spending more and converting less.
What they are checking: Whether they check search terms, match types, bids and landing pages in a sensible order instead of guessing.
How do you decide whether a paid search campaign is earning a good ROI?
What they are checking: Whether they connect ad spend to real business outcomes rather than stopping at clicks and click-through rate.
How would you use negative keywords on a catalog with thousands of products?
What they are checking: Whether they know how to stop wasted spend at scale across many product lines.
Before you approve an email campaign, what do you check?
What they are checking: Whether they review lists, links, offers and timing carefully, since a bad send cannot be taken back.
