Google Search Ads

Google Search Ads are the sponsored results that appear above organic search results in Google.

As Google puts it, search ads allow advertisers to show ads “to the right people, in the right place, at the right time.” You can out-rank your competitors, either by out-bidding them or by having a better-quality ad and landing page. In addition, Google Search Ads allows for detailed targeting such as geographical, demographical, remarketing, and audience targeting for search; to better assist in maximizing your conversions and resulting in a better return on investment. Search Ads typically reach people who are already in the buying cycle; currently searching for specific products or services.

Types of ads available in Google Search Ads are:

  1. Expanded Text Ads: Allows up to 3 text headlines, 2 text description fields, and 2 optional “path” fields for the display URL.
