Search Engine Ads

Search engine ads are one of the most effective forms of advertising, simply because people on search engines are already looking for something specific. When your ad pops up, they will (hopefully) click it and purchase your product or visit your website. You have helped to solve their problem, and you have gained a new customer in the process.

Search Engine Ads, also called “AdWords” (though this word specifically refers to Google’s advertising service), come in multiple formats. 

  • Search Network campaigns, also called “text ads” or “PPC (pay per click) ads”, are usually text form ads that appear first in the search results with a “Promoted” label. These ads can also be image-based.
  • Shopping ads, or “PLA (product listing ads),” are sponsored advertisements that populate at the top of the result listings, showcasing a product or service relevant to what the user searched.
  • Display Network campaigns are usually formatted as images, but can be formatted as text or short videos and will appear on websites that customers in your target demographic might visit.
  • Video campaigns are ads, usually between 6 and 15 seconds, that show up before or during a video you are watching, typically on YouTube.

Like all internet-based advertising, Search Engine Ads depend heavily on your budget, your objective, and your target demographic.

In order for your ad to be successful, you must know the best amount to spend (note – “best” and “most” are not always the same), the end result you want your ad to achieve, and the exact type of audience you are looking to reach.
