What Are Display Ads?
Display campaigns serve visually engaging ads on the Google Display Network. The Display Network helps you reach people as they browse millions of websites, apps and Google-owned properties. While the Google Search Ads can reach people while they search for specific goods or services, the Display Ads can help you capture someone’s attention earlier in the buying cycle. You can put your ads in front of people before they start searching for what you offer, which can be key for your overall advertising strategy.
Let’s relate this to a real-life example:
1.
Megan is looking for a new bottle of her perfume. So begins looking online at various websites that sell her chosen perfume.
2.
Over the next few days after her search Megan is online reading the news on her favourite gossip website.
3.
While she is reading, across the top and down the sides of the page are graphics showing the perfume she was looking at purchasing.
4.
These Display Ads keep appearing across various websites that Megan regularly visits, such as Gmail and YouTube.
5.
By using Google Display Ads, you can specifically select what sites your brand appears on based on user behaviour. This means that you can laser target your typical buyer based on their searches and what they’ve expressed an interest in. Display ads offer the perfect opportunity to build brand awareness across the places where your target audience hangs out.
How Does Geek Manage And Set Up Google Display Ads?
Due to the decline in tracking opportunities, when we once were able to use pixels to gather rich, there are now fewer means to collect data which means less data to work with. This also means that we have to understand that we now have limited last-touch attribution for where that lead opportunity is coming from.
As a result, Display should be partnered with other marketing efforts, such as Facebook or LinkedIn Ads, so we can create a multi-touchpoint strategy that keeps you constantly in the thought process of potential buyers. So when your audience is in the consideration stage, you can gently remind them of who you are.
Display Ads are hyper-targeted to a buyer’s interests with some retargeting, but at a different level than you would’ve before, as it takes longer to build those audiences up. Particularly with GDPR, two years ago we might have just pumped all your customer data into one of these platforms and gone nuts. Now we can do that in a limited fashion as long as we have to be sensitive to GDPR.
Instead, we’re building up the marketing to retarget people based on their behaviours within these platforms to build awareness. So no longer are we seeing these digital marketing platforms are siloed; we see them as a combined effort that pulls together to give you an outcome, mainly as the objective here isn’t to generate sales; it’s to provoke awareness.

Are Google Display Ads better than Google Search Ads?
Which platform you choose is dependent on your marketing goals. But, Google Display Ads are recommended when the goal is to build brand awareness.
