Have you ever managed a campaign with a limited budget? How did you maximize performance with limited spend?

Managing campaigns with limited budgets is very common—and success comes down to prioritization, precision, and ongoing optimization. Here's how I’ve maximized performance under budget constraints:

✅ 1. Prioritize High-Intent Keywords

  • Focus only on exact and phrase match keywords with clear purchase or lead intent.

  • Avoid broad match unless paired with smart bidding and strict negative keywords.

📌 Example: Use [buy running shoes online] instead of shoes to avoid low-intent traffic.

✅ 2. Geo and Device Targeting

  • Target only locations where the client can realistically sell or serve.

  • Exclude underperforming locations or devices (e.g., mobile if conversions are low there).

✅ 3. Ad Scheduling

  • Run ads only during peak conversion hours/days.

  • Pause ads during off-hours to conserve spend.

✅ 4. Use Negative Keywords Aggressively

  • Regularly review the search terms report to exclude irrelevant traffic.

  • Prevent waste from generic or misaligned searches.

✅ 5. Leverage Smart Bidding Strategically

  • Use Maximize Conversions or Target CPA once you have conversion data, but only when appropriate for your volume and goals.

✅ 6. Refine Ad Copy and Extensions

  • High-performing ad copy increases CTR and Quality Score, reducing CPC.

  • Use ad extensions (sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets) to increase visibility without extra cost.

✅ 7. Limit to Top-Performing Campaigns

  • Pause or limit budget to only the best-performing products or services.

  • Let data guide you—don't spread your budget thin across too many ad groups.

✅ 8. Landing Page Optimization

  • Make sure traffic isn’t wasted—pages should be fast, relevant, and conversion-focused.

Explain the Angular compilation process: View Engine vs. Ivy.

 The Angular compilation process transforms your Angular templates and components into efficient JavaScript code that the browser can execute. Over time, Angular has evolved from the View Engine compiler to a newer, more efficient system called Ivy . Here's a breakdown of the differences between View Engine and Ivy , and how each affects the compilation process: 🔧 1. What Is Angular Compilation? Angular templates ( HTML inside components) are not regular HTML—they include Angular-specific syntax like *ngIf , {{ }} interpolation, and custom directives. The compiler translates these templates into JavaScript instructions that render and update the DOM. Angular uses Ahead-of-Time (AOT) or Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation modes: JIT : Compiles in the browser at runtime (used in development). AOT : Compiles at build time into efficient JS (used in production). 🧱 2. View Engine (Legacy Compiler) ➤ Used in Angular versions < 9 🔍 How It Works: Compiles templat...

Explain the concept of ControlValueAccessor in custom form components.

 In Angular, the ControlValueAccessor interface is what allows custom form components to work seamlessly with Angular forms (both reactive and template-driven). 🧠 What is ControlValueAccessor ? It’s an Angular bridge between your custom component and the Angular Forms API . When you use a custom form component (like a date picker, dropdown, slider, etc.), Angular doesn't automatically know how to read or write its value. That’s where ControlValueAccessor comes in. It tells Angular: How to write a value to the component How to notify Angular when the component’s value changes How to handle disabled state 📦 Common Built-in Examples: <input> and <select> already implement ControlValueAccessor You implement it when creating custom form controls 🔧 Key Methods in the Interface Method Purpose writeValue(obj: any) Called by Angular to set the value in the component registerOnChange(fn: any) Passes a function to call when the component value ch...

What are the different types of directives in Angular? Give real-world examples.

In Angular, directives are classes that allow you to manipulate the DOM or component behavior . There are three main types of directives: 🧱 1. Component Directives Technically, components are directives with a template. They control a section of the screen (UI) and encapsulate logi c. ✅ Example: @Component ({ selector : 'app-user-card' , template : `<h2>{{ name }}</h2>` }) export class UserCardComponent { name = 'Alice' ; } 📌 Real-World Use: A ProductCardComponent showing product details on an e-commerce site. A ChatMessageComponent displaying individual messages in a chat app. ⚙️ 2. Structural Directives These change the DOM layout by adding or removing elements. ✅ Built-in Examples: *ngIf : Conditionally includes a template. *ngFor : Iterates over a list and renders template for each item. *ngSwitch : Switches views based on a condition. 📌 Real-World Use: < div * ngIf = "user.isLoggedIn...
