Types

  • Google Search
  • Google Shopping
  • Display Network
  • Video Advertising
  • Mobile/App Advertising


Search Ads

People generally use Google with a specific intent or question in mind. They search for answers to their questions, or find specific products or services.

You can create text ads, these generally appear at the top and bottom of each page of Google. If it’s relating to a local service you’ll find 4 ads above the map and always above any organic results. The searches you show up for is highly related to the keywords behind the ad and in the ad copy.


Shopping

This type of ad is perfect for when a potential customer will be specifically shopping for products/product categories (ecommerce companies).

It shows the images, prices and reviews of items Google thinks is relevant to the search enquiry.

There’s even a tab along the top of Google, related to shopping now.


Display

The majority of a user’s time online is spent consuming and engaging with content, not searching on Google. Because of that, getting in front of users as they engage with content relevant to your product or service is a great way to build brand/product/service awareness.

As the consumer is not actively searching for a solution this type of ad is best for awareness rather than immediate conversions.


Video

This is technically still a display ad but with a video format - usually on YouTube.

YouTube, owned by Google is the second biggest search engine, and the third most-visited site on the web (after Google and Facebook).

The right targeting and keywords will place the video ad in front of the right audience disrupting their behaviour and grab their attention.


Mobile/App

The time spent on apps is increasing year on year, with users now spending an average of five hours per day on their smartphones.

Ads on apps allow you to reach users at times when other marketing channels can’t, for example as soon as people wake up, the commute to work or during meal-times.

Studio Thoughts

A Google My Business listing is a free directory listing that appears when people search for a local product or service (ie. xyz service Christchurch). It usually appears with the Google Map on the first page, under the Google Ads.
This is one of the many amazing benefits of having one of these listings. You’re getting FREE ad on the first page of Google.
The example below shows a search for a cat sitter in Christchurch. The top results are Google Ads, and then in a box with the Google Map are the Google My Business listings showing reviews and key contact information in actionable formats (meaning you can click through to the website, or on a mobile click to call the business instantly).

Cross positing is sharing the exact same post across different social media platforms. It's a divided debate over whether to do it or not.

Definitely.
But just like any other marketing channel, it might not be the perfect fit for your brand.
If you're wanting to target a younger demographic 25-35, Instagram has a better engagement rate for that age group than Facebook, which generally results in higher quality leads to a website. If you're a product based company, you can also create shoppable images which a person can purchase directly from on Instagram :- making it even easier for the end user.
