What is Google Search?
Keyword-driven Search Ads appear on Google’s search engine results pages (SERPs) alongside organic results. They’re a type of pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, which means you typically bid based on clicks. Yet Paid Search offers substantial budget-related flexibility, as you can adjust or pause spend in real time. Google Search campaigns can appear on Google Search, Google Play, Google Shopping, Google Maps, YouTube, and other sites by Google and its Search and Display partners. These campaigns can also integrate with the Google Display Network, which can extend reach to Google Finance, Gmail, and Blogger. Google Search ad formats seamlessly align with your business goals:
- Text: Get clicks and conversions with a clear call-to-action—no visuals required.
- App: Connect with customers in Google Play to drive app installs.
- Video: Capture YouTube search traffic with compelling video ads.
- Shopping: Showcase your products and streamline browsing and purchasing.
- Call: Encourage customers to convert offline with seamless conversion tracking.
- Local: Leverage local search to drive in-store visits and advertise on Google Maps.
Who should run Google Search Ads?
Whether you want to sell products and services or add new prospects to your sales funnel, Search Advertising is right for you. While Google Search is a crucial part of a lower-funnel media mix, it can also be incredibly effective throughout the customer journey. For example, Search Ads can drive discovery during the customer research phase. They can also retarget mid-funnel prospects who have visited your website or viewed specific content.
