As more businesses seek to reach new audiences online, they face fierce competition for customer attention. Paid advertising is a solution to capture the interest of potential customers to drive conversions and appear at the top of search results. Among all the available platforms, Google is the most popular search engine to invest in advertising due to its high reach and visibility. According to recent findings published by Statista, Google currently holds 85.5% of the global search engine market share, making Google Ads the best search engine to reach the most potential customers.
In this blog post, we will explore the significance of paid advertising on Google, focusing on the three most popular ad types – Discovery Ads, Performance Max, and Responsive Search Ads – and their benefits, in addition to discussing how working with a marketing agency can maximize your Google ads investment.
1. Discovery Ads
Discovery Ads are visually compelling and leverage the power of automation through Google’s algorithm to reach leads with a higher chance of converting. Using machine learning, these ads can identify the most suitable audience based on their interests and browsing habits and drive higher campaign conversion rates. Similarly to other campaign types, Discovery Ads are set up by importing your desired copy and images, but Google will take care of the placement. Placement opportunities for these ads include Gmail (in the Promotions and Social folders) and Youtube.
You can experiment with various combinations of images, headlines, and descriptions to find the most effective and engaging ad variations. This flexibility allows you to test your ad creatives for conversion improvement. Due to their visually engaging nature, Discovery Ads are ideal for businesses aiming to create brand awareness, capture or recapture attention, and engage potential customers.
2. Performance Max
Performance Max ads are a Google Ads campaign type designed to maximize your online reach across various Google platforms. These ads allow you to reach potential customers across Google Search, the Display Network, YouTube, and Discover feeds – no matter where they are in their online journey. Cohesive brand placement will reinforce your brand identity and boost brand recognition among potential customers, regardless of the platform they are using. Performance Max ads also leverage machine learning to optimize ads and allocate your budget to the best-performing channels. These ads best suit businesses seeking to drive conversions, generate leads or increase sales.
3. Responsive Search Ads
Responsive Search Ads (RSAs) were introduced in 2018, but in mid-2022, they ultimately replaced expanded text ads. As more unique search queries increased year over year at Google, they introduced Responsive Search Ads to automatically identify the best combination of headlines and descriptions to deliver the right ad to the right person, phasing out expanded text ads.
RSAs empower marketers to create ads that adapt to different devices and are flexible to unique customer search queries. These ads automatically adjust their size, format, and headline combinations to cater to the user’s search intent. RSAs are particularly effective in improving ad relevance and driving higher click-through rates. By allowing multiple headline and description options, RSAs enable businesses to test different variations and optimize their messaging. They are valuable for businesses across various industries, especially those with extensive product or service offerings.
