- Google Ads can work for almost any advertising budget. Decide how much you want to spend, and we’ll show you the estimated results.
- Give Google Ads a try with no need to commit to a long-term contract – pause or cancel anytime. And, adjust your budget whenever you need, such as for busy holidays or product launches
- Signing up for an account is free. You’ll only pay when your customers take action, like when they click your ad to visit your website or call your business.
- To set you up for success, we’ll provide reports and insights so you can track your ad’s performance and costs.
- There are three basic types of Google Ads:
- Search Network campaigns – usually text form, these ads can show on Google Search results pages when someone searches for a product or service that’s similar to yours
- Display Network campaigns – usually image form, these ads appear on websites or apps that your customers visit
- Video campaigns – usually 6 or 15-second videos, these ads show right before or during YouTube content
- CPC (Cost Per Click) or PPC (Pay Per Click) means you only pay for an ad if someone clicks on it.
- Other advertising models include:
- Cost Per Impression, where you pay based on how many times your ad was shown (not clicked)
- Cost Per Engagement, where you pay when a user completes a predefined engagement (like watching your video ad)
