Why Google Adwords are used?

In today’s world, everything is done through advertising. It is the fastest way for people to know about a particular product or service. Every business wants their brand, services to be known by customers and reach them faster.

The reach of google is massive such that the first stop for anything online is google. Whatever it may be, searches, uploads, etc all are done through google. Therefore placing strategic Ads on the google network results in higher probabilities for your business to get known.

Another reason for using Google Adwords is that it helps building brand awareness for your firm or services. In fact it has been found that most of the highest marketing companies have focused on Google Adwords to build their brand image.

If your brand is well known, then attracting potential customers won’t be much of an issue.

How is it implemented?

After that fill in some basic details such as the time zone, location etc. After that, you need to set up the billing details i.e how much you want to spend on a particular ad campaign. The next phase is setting up your Adwords on the google network.

How to do that? Keywords.

Keywords are not just random words, they are certain types of words or phrases that matches your ad when a customer searches for a particular topic.

It is estimated that Google receives about 63000 searches per second in a day. That’s impressive.

However, just having a set of keywords does not ensure it will match your ads. Your keywords must be ranked which is the next step i.e placing bids.

Normally biddings are done by the advertising companies by grouping the keywords they bid on. Google identifies the relevant keywords along with the associated ad and bid and places them into an auction.

In order to determine the rank of your ad, Google considers two factors which are quality score and maximum bid or CPC (cost per click), i.e

             Your Ad rank= maximum bid * quality score

Okay, so you have got your ad ranked. Now the main question arises,

How much should you pay to google once a customer clicks your ad?

On average the cpc rates are approximately 2 dollars. However, it can vary from low to high depending on the rank your ad is placed and the quality scores. Higher quality scores for your ad results in less payment to Google.

How Google Adwords target customers

Usually advertising companies that use Google Adwords targets the customers users on two main networks which is search network and Display network.

The search network is where the customer searches for a particular item, and if it matches your ad that is shown, the customer clicks it and the advertising company gets the business. This is referred to as pay per click advertising.

Whereas the Display network is where the advertisers places the ads on different parts of the websites. This is the part where we see the visual pop ups once we have searched for any particular topic.
