GOOGLE ADS & META ADS
Pay smart, reach right, grow fast !
PART ONE · GOOGLE ADS
Google Ads is the largest paid advertising platform in the world.. It places your business in front of people who are actively searching for what you offer — on Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, and millions of partner websites. You only pay when someone clicks, making it one of the most cost-efficient ways to drive high-intent traffic to your business instantly.
SIX GOOGLE ADS TYPES
1. SEARCH ADS
Text ads appearing at the top of Google search results when users search your target keywords - capturing people at the exact moment of intent.
2. DISPLAY ADS
Visual banner ads shown across 2 million+ websites and apps in Google's Display Network - perfect for brand awareness and remarketing campaigns.
3. YOUTUBE ADS
Video ads shown before, during, or after YouTube videos. Choose from skippable, non-skippable, bumper ads, or in-feed video ads for maximum reach.
4. SHOPPING ADS
Product listing ads with image, price, and store name shown to users actively searching to buy - ideal for ecommerce businesses wanting high-conversion traffic.
5. APP COMPAIGNS
Promote your mobile app automatically across Google Search, Play Store, YouTube, and the Display Network with minimal manual setup required.
6. RE-MARKETING ADS
Re-engage visitors who left your website without converting - showing them tailored ads across Google's network to bring them back and close the sale.
GOOGLE ADS INSIGHT : The creative – your image or video – is the single biggest performance factor in Meta Ads. A great creative with average targeting beats average creative with great targeting every single time.
