Every year, PPC Hero releases The Top 25 Most Influential PPC Experts. We develop and share the Top 25 list to show our gratitude for those in our industry who continue to spend time and resources educating us and sharing insights to help us excel at our jobs.

While you all anxiously await the Top 25 list (which will be released in a few weeks), we want to share the Top 50!

The Top 50 is based solely on votes from you all. Only those with the most votes got in the Top 50 and will be scored for the final Top 25 list. For the Top 25, experts will be scored based on factors like their engagement on social, speaking gigs, podcasts and webinars they’ve been featured on, and articles they’ve written.

The Top 50 is listed in alphabetical order. Where a name resides on this list has nothing to do with the number of votes a person received.

Without Further Ado …
