As more and more consumers depend on the internet to solve their burning
questions, it’s becoming crucial for businesses to be online. Advertising your business online, especially on Google, can help you grow your business. If you want to reach more customers and specific demographics in a fast, flexible and trackable way all at a lower cost, advertising with Google Ads might be right for you.
Google Ads.
Google Ads, formerly known as Google Adwords is an online advertising service that allows businesses to display ads on Google search results (Google Search Network) or through the Google Display Network.
The Search Network provides advertisers the opportunity to be seen by customers at the exact moment when they’re searching for products and services similar to the ones you offer. The ads look almost identical to the normal, unpaid search results and are displayed at the top and bottom of the search results page.
The Google Display Network works differently as your ads are displayed on third-party websites that have partnered with Google and have agreed to display Google ads. Your “display ads” or “banner ads” are placed on websites that Google believes align with your target market.
Benefits of using Google Ads.
- With Google Ads, you can grow your business by reaching new customers online within the budget that works for you.
- According to Google, for every $1 businesses spend on Google Ads, they make an average of $2 in revenue.
- You, the advertiser, determines how much you’re willing to pay anytime a consumer’s search term triggers a keyword that results in your ad getting clicked. You set your own daily budget and only pay when someone clicks your ad to visit your website or calls you.
Other advertising options.
Already mastered Google Ads? Have you considered in-app advertising and display advertising?
In-app advertising.
With the average mobile user having as many as 80 apps on their phone, in-app advertising and display advertising has become a sure-fire way to capture your target audience’s attention.
Now more than ever, it’s easier for advertisers to reach their ideal audience through in-app advertising and display advertising. Since apps collect first-party data on an opt-in basis, targeting users based on various demographic information, such as geo-location, gender and age has become a much simpler process.
