Best Google Ads Community on Reddit: What Gets Named, and What Doesn't

A correction we owe you

An older version of this page said that when someone asked r/PPC for community recommendations, "nobody in the replies drops a name."

That was false, and we should never have written it. Go read the thread (r/PPC, 16 January 2025). Someone did answer, and they named three rooms.

We wrote that Reddit had no answer, and then we happened to sell the answer. That's not a mistake, that's a tell. Here's the version with the actual reply in it.

Which Google Ads communities does Reddit actually name?

Three: r/PPC's own Slack community, PPC Chat, and Foxwell Founders. That is the answer one r/PPC commenter gave when someone asked for recommendations, and all three rooms are still running. In January 2025 someone asked for Google Ads community recommendations on r/PPC, and said they were happy to pay for the right one. Small thread, one reply. That reply, from u/fathom53, named three:

• r/PPC's own Slack community, run by the same subreddit
• PPC Chat, which moved over to Slack
• Foxwell Founders, Andrew Foxwell's paid group

Three real rooms, all still running. That's a perfectly good answer to the question.

Over on r/ecommerce, a 2023 thread asked for high-quality ecommerce communities, specifically "no million spammers and no fluff". The names that came back: the DTC newsletter and podcast, and W6, a Slack group one commenter said was decent if you're doing over $1M a year. Worth knowing that most of that thread is bot removals, so it's thinner than the comment count suggests.

The thread about keeping up

In February 2024 someone asked how independent marketers stay on top of Google Ads changes (r/PPC, 7 upvotes, 14 comments).

We used to say this thread showed solo operators with "no team to bounce a change off". Nobody in it said that. We made it up because it suited us.

What the thread actually says: the best-voted reply was follow the right 5 or 6 people on LinkedIn and you'll see changes daily. Others said Google's own newsletter and the Search Engine Land newsletter. Practical answers, and most of them point off Reddit entirely.

How big are r/PPC and r/GoogleAds?

r/PPC has 273,425 members and r/GoogleAds has 75,639, on Reddit's public subreddit data as of 16 July 2026. Both are free, both are active, and both are far bigger than anything we run.

We pulled these from Reddit's public subreddit data on 16 July 2026:

• r/PPC: 273,425 members. Every ad platform, every industry. Running since 2009.
• r/GoogleAds: 75,639 members. Google-only, but still every industry.

Both free. Both active. Both better resourced than anything we run.

Our take, as the biased party

Enough reporting. Here's the argument, and it's ours.

The rooms Reddit names are good rooms. Foxwell Founders has a real reputation. PPC Chat has been going for years. r/PPC's Slack is free and full of people who do this daily. We're not going to run any of them down to make ourselves look taller.

What none of them are is ecom-only. That's our whole argument, and it's a narrow one. A Shopping feed disapproval, a Performance Max asset group that quietly stopped spending, a Merchant Center flag on 40 products at once. Those are product-catalogue problems, and in a general PPC room they sit next to a B2B lead-gen question and get the same amount of attention.

So we built Google Ads eCom Lab: free, 1,200+ D2C and dropshipping operators as of July 2026, Google Ads for ecom and nothing else. It runs on what we see across 200+ live ZenoX client accounts and €200M+ in tracked sales since 2024.

And the honest mark against us: Reddit has never recommended it. We're a smaller, newer room and we didn't earn a reputation there. If "the community vouches for it" is your bar, we don't clear it yet. That's fair.

r/PPC has nearly 300 times our members. It will still lose to a small room when the question is why 40 of your products got disapproved this morning. That's the only claim we're making.

Size versus fit

Where should you actually go for Google Ads help?

To the room built for your kind of account. Want general PPC chat across every platform? Join r/PPC. Want Google-specific help outside ecom? r/GoogleAds. Want the rooms Reddit itself names? PPC Chat, Foxwell Founders, r/PPC's Slack. All real, all worth your time, none of them ours.

Want people fighting the same Merchant Center flags and the same Performance Max quirks on a product catalogue? That's the room we built. Free, one click to join, one click to leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who wrote this and are they neutral?

ZenoX wrote it. We're a Google Ads agency for ecom brands and we run a free Skool community, so we want you to join ours. Not neutral. Every thread is linked and dated so you can check whether we quoted it straight.

What Google Ads communities does Reddit actually name?

In a January 2025 r/PPC thread, one commenter named three: r/PPC's own Slack community, PPC Chat, and Foxwell Founders. In a 2023 r/ecommerce thread people named the DTC newsletter and podcast, and a Slack group called W6 for stores over $1M a year.

Is there a subreddit just for Google Ads and ecom?

No. r/GoogleAds had 75,639 members when we checked on 16 July 2026 and it's Google-specific, but it covers every industry. r/PPC had 273,425 and covers every platform too. Neither is ecom-only.

What's the difference between r/PPC and r/GoogleAds?

Size and scope. r/PPC (273,425 members on 16 July 2026) covers every ad platform. r/GoogleAds (75,639) is Google-only but still spans every industry. Both are useful. Neither is built for ecom.

Does Reddit ever recommend Google Ads eCom Lab?

Not that we've seen, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. We're a newer, smaller, ecom-only room and we didn't build our reputation on Reddit. Take that as a real mark against us and judge the room on its own.
