Does anyone else just watch their roomba vacuum work? Sometimes I'll zone out and watch it for longer than it would take for me to just vacuum the room. I put it to little tests... is it going to get that piece of lint? Yep! Total zen.

Why are there no @GoogleAds on page 1 for hotel searches like "dallas texas hotels?" There are advertisers on page 2 but we can't get an ad on page 1. Did we miss an announcement or policy change? #hotelmarketing #googleads #ppcchat #hospitalityindustry

Hey @GoogleAds why are there no ads showing for location-modified search queries in hospitality? No ads AT ALL showing for searches like "chicago hotels".

I'll definitely be first of the people I know to get the 'rona. I constantly play with my beard when I'm thinking. I don't even know I'm doing it. I can't stop.

Guest post for @hotel_speak this week. It is so hard for small hotels & B&B's to compete for their own bookings in Google vs Google/Expedia/Booking.com. @odysysinc is truly disrupting that by making Google Hotel Ads accessible to smaller properties. hotelspeak.com/2019/12/7-rea…
