You get to meet shoppers where they live online, rather than advertising everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smallbusinessbc.ca\/article\/five-tips-reaching-customers-google-adwords\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vanessa Pintea<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a digital marketing consultant based in Vancouver, explains:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">'Google AdWords has become the largest online advertising network in the world. It offers an incredibly powerful tool for small businesses to get noticed online, with a friendly learning curve and palatable initial investment.'\u009d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open your virtual doors to new marketing possibilities. Below are five ways Google Ads can help you on this journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/managed-wordpress-hosting\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Wordpress.png\" alt=\"best WordPress hosting\" width=\"470\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Wordpress.png 470w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Wordpress-300x38.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>1. Choose Different Ways to Advertise<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing is a fickle process for small business owners. There\u2019s no silver bullet or a magical stone to rub. You learn quickly that there isn\u2019t any one-size-fits-all solution for anything. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This principle holds true in advertising as well. Because you cater to distinct audiences, you can\u2019t advertise in one manner. You have to diversify how you bridge the gap between brand and customer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sticking to only a single medium means you serve just a portion of your audience, translating into less sales. Therefore, you must use various ways to reach and swoon your buyers. You\u2019re compelled to advertise where customers reside online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Ads is one solution to this marketing issue. The platform offers multiple ways to connect your brand to consumers. From search ads to app ads, you get to decide how to manage your online presence and dominate the competition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/different-google-ads-options-1024x420.png\" alt=\"different google ads options\" width=\"840\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/different-google-ads-options-1024x420.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/different-google-ads-options-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/different-google-ads-options-768x315.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With different ways to advertise, you can build a sound strategy to achieve your goals. You might focus on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/fix-losing-traffic-seo\/\"> increasing website traffic<\/a> with display ads. Or you may want to boost brand awareness with your app ads. Google Ads gives you several advertising options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Pinpoint a Specific Location<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the introduction of the Internet, companies possess the power to bring the world to their business\u2019s online doorstep. It\u2019s an exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) experience to introduce products to a new consumer base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the world may be at your fingertips, it doesn\u2019t mean everyone fits into your target audience. You may find it difficult to sell wool sweaters to people living in humid, hot areas in South America. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Ads makes your campaigns run better with location targeting. Rather than advertising to anyone, you can narrow your reach by geographic location. You can choose specific countries, areas within a country, or a radius around a designated location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>'Use the geographic targeting options to your advantage. If you own a business with a storefront in a certain city or state, it makes sense to make sure that your ads are only showing to people within your relevant location,'\u009d<\/em> writes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fivestars.com\/4-ways-to-effectively-advertise-your-small-business-using-google-adwords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brian Lee<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a growth hacker and demand generation wizard at Fivestars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By selecting a location, you then can create ads that fit the local area. You can reference an upcoming festival or mention a well-known landmark. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/online-store-personalize-customers-experience\/\">personalization<\/a> speaks to the customer and makes your business seem right around the corner, even if it\u2019s not. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Reach Your Target Audience<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every person that lands on your site will not be your ideal customer. Maybe they don\u2019t need your product. Or maybe your service doesn\u2019t fit their budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In marketing, your goal is to bring the right visitors to your site at the right time. If not, you\u2019ll struggle to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/social-media-fans-leads-customers\/\">turn visitors into customers<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding your target audience matters to the success of your advertising. You\u2019ll want to know their interests and behaviors to get a holistic view of your customers. Capturing this insight into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/ultimate-guide-building-using-personas\/\">buyer persona<\/a> will help you navigate the advertising process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Ads lets you target audiences based on a wide range of categories. You can market to fans who like soccer and basketball, people shopping for recreational boats, or remarket to visitors who\u2019ve already come to your site. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/select-audience-in-google-ads-1024x378.png\" alt=\"select audience in google ads\" width=\"840\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/select-audience-in-google-ads-1024x378.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/select-audience-in-google-ads-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/select-audience-in-google-ads-768x283.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/select-audience-in-google-ads.png 1994w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By targeting to a particular audience, you save time delivering the right message to the right individuals. If someone expresses interest in handmade potteries, you\u2019re more likely to pique their curiosity with your ad about an upcoming sale for customized ceramics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also save money for your small business. Gearing your resources toward ideal customers means you\u2019re driving qualified traffic to your site, in return for more leads and eventually more sales. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4. Work Within Your Budget<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most small businesses operate on a limited budget. As a result, your marketing decisions may boil down to whether it fits into your budget or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to advertising, it\u2019s easy to think you can\u2019t afford it. In some cases, you\u2019re totally right. Advertising can range anywhere from $100 to $1 million. And it\u2019s not like every small business has a few million dollars to spend on ad campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Ads gives you the flexibility to advertise within your budget. So, if you only have a few hundred dollars to spare this month, you can modify your campaign to fit that limitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter your budget, you\u2019ll want to approach each campaign with a plan. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fitsmallbusiness.com\/advertise-on-google\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maggie Aland<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a staff writer for Fit Small Business, explains:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">'A good starting point is $10 per day, but you can increase or decrease this amount once you have a better idea of what you will have to bid per keyword. It\u2019s not guaranteed that you will pay this amount every day (especially if no one is clicking your ad), but Google will make sure you won\u2019t exceed your budget.'\u009d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give your small business the room to grow with Google Ads. You can start with a small budget and then expand as you earn more revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5. Measure Your Performance<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analytics is growing in the marketing space. Small business owners understand that if you can\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/why-use-google-analytics\/\">measure your efforts<\/a> you\u2019re probably wasting your marketing budget. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this new perspective, advertising strategies must stress the importance of measuring performance. That way, you can adjust your campaigns midway without squandering your ad spend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking performance also gives you insight on your audience\u2019s behaviors. You may learn that a specific type of copy may resonate, like causal words versus industry jargon. Then, you can use this knowledge to inform other business decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-dynamic-search-ads-1024x379.png\" alt=\"google dynamic search ads\" width=\"840\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-dynamic-search-ads-1024x379.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-dynamic-search-ads-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-dynamic-search-ads-768x284.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/google-dynamic-search-ads.png 1572w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When optimizing your ad campaigns, you\u2019ll want to experiment with different headlines and calls to action. For example, you may prompt consumers to click your ad with 'Learn More'\u009d or 'Get More Details Here.'\u009d Different versions of your ads help you identify your best-performing campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also a good practice to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/create-landing-pages-convert-cold-traffic\/\">optimize your landing pages<\/a>. When consumers finally click on your ad, you want the page to resemble the copy in your ad. If you advertised a 25% discount on all clothing, the landing page should reflect that deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Ads gives you the control to monitor your progress throughout every campaign. You can gauge how to bring in the most conversions for your business. This freedom helps you improve your return on investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Improve Your Advertising Right Now<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Ads connects your small business to interested buyers. You can go from no online visitors to thousands of potential shoppers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform offers you different ways to reach your target audience. Your business can pinpoint consumers based on specific locations and buyer interests. Also, you can decide how to advertise within your budget. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/services\/ppc\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get noticed today. <strong>Start with Google Ads. <\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advertising is an effective way to inform your target audience about your small business.
