From clicks to conversions everything is easier with Google Ads
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Targeting local or specific audience based on the location,demographic and devices has been made easier now with Google Ads. We can show ads to the people who has visited to our site or visited in the past and push them to make the lead successful. Considering the scope of the Google Ads its always depends on the size , resource, product type and maturity of the business. In our organization we have used Google Ads for brand awareness and cross channel integration by using youtube video ads display network to reach wider audience. In cross-channel, we are integrating with offline channels, which means stores and tracking the store traffic on a real-time basis. Also, we use Google Analytics when integrated with Google Ads, which helps us to track the behaviour of store visits to unify the measurement and focus on scaling the capital.
Pros
- Measurability and control
- Flexible Targeting and segmentation
- extensive Intent search traffic
- Support Multiple formats of ad formats and multiple channels to integrate
Cons
- Account ad suspension are very common without specifying which policy we have violated they perform the ad suspension even after the advertiser fixes the issue re-approval is delayed which is biggest pain point
- Cost and transparency issue Rising cost of clicks with the competitive keywords for smaller business have very high CPC's or low ROI
- We can observe the transparency issues which means its hard to see where exactly your ads are being shown especially on the display network unless you explicitly check them in regular intervals you may endup still paying for them
- Geographic targeting sometimes feels like clunky or limited
Likelihood to Recommend
Google Ads works great especially using display, youtube videos to build brand awareness while search captures were kept intent if we have new products that are being launched with video and audio and this will help brand awareness to be build and this way search captures more traffic. In realtime as well if your product or services address an urgent need Google Ads can capture that intent very well and can increase the traffic based on the suggestions shared. Google Ads is considered less aprropriate when your website is slow not mobile friendly and the landing page will not align with what an ad promises a lot of ads spend can be wasted if you dont have good tracking and this will end up in a situation where you dont known which keyword/ad creative are working. Health finance and legal have strict policies where an ad shown which is irrelevant can lead to ads suspension and policy violation
