How Can Google Ads Help You Advance Your Business Goals?

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is a strong tool in helping your business become more visible via internet searches, however its benefits take time to appear. That is where pay-per-click (PPC) ads, also known as Google Ads, can help advance your business goals. PPC allows your business to reach a wider range of potential customers, boosting conversion rates and showing your business online to the right people at the right time.

PPC may seem overwhelming to new users, due to the specialist terms surrounding it, but in simple terms PPC means you only pay for the ad once a user has clicked on it. Google Ads can be used in a variety of formats to suit your business needs and can be shown directly to people searching for your product or services, as well as to people Google think might appreciate your services from similar, recent searches.

 

How Can Google Ads Help You Advance Your Business Goals

What are Google Ads?

Google Ads are a highly effective in reaching many millions of people from all across the world, attracting more brand awareness and customers for your business.

In basic terms, Google Ads use PPC to show ads within search engine results, shopping pages, Google display networks and YouTube. Though SEO gets you stronger organic results over a longer period of time, PPC enables you to be seen on Google much quicker.

When you have setup your campaign, an advertisement for a specific landing page on your website will be shown and you will be required to pay a certain amount each time someone clicks on your ad.

Though bids are important for your ad to reach your intended target audience, Google’s algorithm also considers other factors when placing ads, such as their relevance and quality.

Placing bids for your ads basically tells Google how much you are willing to spend each time someone clicks on your ads. Google’s algorithm then takes into account your bid amount, the quality of your ad and the keywords, assigning you an overall ranking.

AdRank is the position your ad will be placed on in the results page, and the higher the ranking of your ad, the more prominent your ad will be. Ultimately this will mean more people seeing your advert which means more people clicking it and the more potential new customers you will have.
