Why shouldn’t you miss the opportunity but rather use Google Ads?
- This is a place where you don’t have to make large investments at once. This is especially important for small businesses that are just developing and have a circumscribed budget. However, prosperous businesses don’t mind such a condition. Google Ads does not have a minimum rate or monthly expenditures for ads, meaning that the risk is much lower compared to other advertising options;
- You pay solely for the result, which is another reason to choose Google Ads. The pay-per-click system works very well. So, if your campaign is set up correctly and you have selected the appropriate keywords, then most of the clicks you will need to pay for will be promising for your business.
Google Ads uses remarketing, thus helping you stay visible to people who are interested in your ads but haven’t placed an order;
- Google ads are shown at the perfect time since a person is looking for what they need and gets the result;
- Ads appear in the appropriate area, which is no less important than at the right time. You must choose a geographical location for the ad impression, ensuring that only potential customers view it. For example, a massage parlor does not need advertising in another city, so it is appropriate to set up an ad impression exclusively in the city where it’s located and within a radius of several kilometers around it;
- Google Ads attracts targeted customers. Long ago, marketers noticed that people were more likely to buy products or services after viewing video reviews, and advertising on YouTube was managed through Google Ads. This means that its usage allows businesses to get their ads on YouTube videos related to their product or service;
- Google Ads helps you create an appropriate SEO strategy. Everything is quite simple here. SEO is very effective and necessary for your business, but you need a lot of time and effort to work out this method of promotion. Showing up on the first page of Google is very difficult, but with Google Ads, you can do it right away, though you will have to pay for each click. However, there is an advantage also — you can see by the number of clicks which keywords work and which do not, taking this into account while developing an SEO strategy;
- You can immediately see whether your ads are working or not because Google Ads has built-in features tracking and reporting your return on investment (ROI). By simple setting, you can track web form submissions, e-Commerce sales, phone calls, and even offline sales closed over the phone or in person. Moreover, reports will show which keywords and ads generate the most sales.

8) Next, specify the name of our advertising campaign. You create it by yourself. It is better to choose the most understandable names:

13) We need to indicate the daily budget amount and the pay-per-click rate
- Google Ads uses an automatic “Maximum number of clicks” strategy by default. The algorithm tries to get more clicks within the budget;
- you can select rate settings manually since automated strategies do not allow you to manage rates per click at the keyword level.

15) Ad display schedule: the activity of the target audience needs to be taken into account here. For example, the audience of B2B is online from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but if the ad is intended for a wide audience, then leave it for the whole day.
