Google Advertising refers to the various types of advertisements offered by Google that allow businesses to promote their products or services online. There are many different types of Google ads and each offers a different level of relevancy to a business depending on their individual goals, objectives and the behaviours of their target audience.
The major types of Google Ad campaigns are search campaigns, shopping campaigns, display campaigns, video campaigns, discovery campaigns, app campaigns and performance max campaigns, each of which have their own factors and pros and cons. The success of your Google Ad campaign depends on your keyword selection, your ad targeting and spend, and the content of your advertisements themselves. Google advertising can take some time to perfect, but it is an investment in your business that frequently garners great results.
Google advertising operates on an auction based system, wherein businesses bid a certain amount of money against the keywords that they have opted to target. The amount of this bid in comparison to those of other businesses, along with other factors such as the ad quality and relevance, determines an ad's Ad Rank, which influences its position in the search results or on the Display Network. So whilst outbidding your competitors is important, investing time into the ad itself is just as important in determining an ad’s success.
Advertisers can set daily or campaign-level budgets within their google ads. This budget represents the maximum amount that you as a business are willing to spend each day or over the duration of the campaign as a whole, your success as a result will vary dramatically depending on how much you invest.
When it comes to determining how much you should be investing, that is entirely up to you - there is no set amount that will give you the optimal return on investment. However, like with all paid for advertising, designating a certain percentage of your marketing budget to Google advertising will allow for you to simultaneously see a return on investment and allow for growth in the other areas of your business.
