Google Display Ads and how does it work?

Google Ads (previously Adwords) is an advertising platform that allows you to advertise and promote your products or services when a user searches for relevant keywords.

So, how does it work?

Google ads operate on the Pay per click (PPC) model. This means that marketers target specific keywords and compete with other advertisers and make bids on the keyword.

Advertising with Google Ads involves paying every time your ad is clicked. You pay a different price depending on the keywords that you select and how much other advertisers are willing to pay.

Other than the PPC model of advertising, you can also run a cost-per-impression (how many times your ad has been seen) and a cost-per-engagement (e.g., how many times someone has watched your video ad) campaigns.

Types of Google Ad Campaigns

 

You can run different types of campaigns based on your objectives.

Google Display ads have low click-through rates because the clicks usually come from people who are unaware of your brand and offer. These clicks are still powerful, and a valuable source of new leads.

Display ads may help you generate a lot of leads if targeted correctly.
