Search Ads
Search engines like
Google, Bing, yahoo, ask.com, Aol, Baidu and Yandex have all come a long way.
These search engines use incredibly sophisticated computer programs to sort
through a massive number of web pages. Most search engines basically work in
the same way, when a person wants to find something, they type in a word or a
phrase, this is called a search query, then the
search engine compares that query to catalog of web pages pulling out the best
matches to show the searcher. These are displayed on a search
results page.
A search engines goal is to create the most relevant list of results possible to help the searchers find what they are looking for. Result pages will display both organic search results or unpaid results and advertisements, paid results which are separate and labeled as ads. If you are making improvements to your website to help it appear in unpaid results, that’s called search engine optimization or SEO. Good SEO involves helping the search engine to find and understand your site.
Display Ads
Display ads are one of the
biggest sources of traffic, they are found all over the internet on the display
network in Google. The network uses images, videos, texts and GIFS across a
multitude of Google partner sites in order to show your ad to the people with
your targeting in your account. They come in all shapes, sizes and formats.
Display ads can be used
for remarketing, which
lets you customize your display ads campaigns for people who have previously
visited your site, and tailor your message to these visitors when they browse
the web and use apps.
Another type of targeting in display ads campaign is In-market audiences, which lets you reach potential customers while they are actively browsing, researching or comparing the types of products you sell. It also allows you to connect with those most interested in what you have to offer, using precise segments that classify users based on their demonstrated in-market behavior and purchase intent.
Social Media Ads
Many social networks offer paid advertising opportunities that could help you access very specific audiences and get your message out there. Social media sites often know a lot about their users such as their age, gender, interests, background and more. That’s why social media sites are able to offer businesses the ability to narrow their advertising to reach specific groups of people.

It is an amazing driver of leads and sales. The core social media platforms we provide advertising on for our clients are Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
