What is Google Ads? Google Ad s(AdWords) is. Google’s advertising system designed to create and manage advertisements among paid search engine results or on dedicated advertising space on other websites. Campaigns consist of having an ad with a link to your site appear in the top positions of the Google results page when specifickeywords (keywords) are searched by the user. Now, let’s find out in detail how it works.
What is Google Ads: how it works
Advertising on Google through Search Engine Marketing (SEM) techniques will allow you to be visible within hours in sponsored ads on the top positions in the search engine results.
This makes it possible to direct strongly targeted visitors to one’s website, as they are interested in topics related to one’s products and services, consequently promoting low-cost generation of contacts and leads. Indeed, Google Ads offers the ability to advertise your products and services at predetermined keywords that we can set in advance.
The types of settings that can be preset are Pay-Per-Click and targeted advertising.
Through Pay-Per-Click (cost per click), once the daily budget is defined and loaded, Google charges the advertiser only for the actual clicks users make on sponsored ads. In general, advertisers bid for certainkeywords (keywords) in order to make their ads visible in Google’s paid search results when those certain search keys are searched. The ad, in these cases, appears in the “Sponsored Links” “Ad” category.
The position of the ad placed on the search results page is determined by a weighted auction between:
- the economic offer set for publication at a given keyword and that of other advertisers;
- Quality Score: a set of factors that Google takes into consideration, to determine the relevance of the ad campaign to user search.
With targeted advertising, on the other hand, advertisers can predetermine various factors, including: topics, age, competitor sites, etc.
In this case, the budget paid to advertisers is determined by Pay-Per-Click and Cost-Per-Impression (i.e., the advertiser pays for ad views).
